Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the error in the Kiro IDE and CLI after running `q doctor` and `q restart`, using the reported version and macOS environment. Trace the request that reports `profileArn is required`; done means identifying the missing profileArn path and confirming chat works in both clients.
