- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again
### Operating system
macOS 26.5.1 (25F80)
### Expected behaviour
I have Kiro+ and In Kiro IDE I have the newest models:
But in kiro-cli I don't have them:
Why?
### Actual behaviour
All models will be available also in the cli.
### Steps to reproduce
_No response_

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the model-list difference between Kiro IDE and kiro-cli version 2.12.2 after running q doctor and q restart. Compare the available models and determine whether the discrepancy is caused by account entitlement or CLI behavior; done means explaining the difference or making the CLI expose the entitled models.
