Checks

• I have run q doctor in the affected terminal session
• I have run q restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

Linux 7.0.0-1011-aws - Ubuntu 26.04 LTS

Expected behaviour

kiro-cli must update as soon there is one available.

Actual behaviour

kiro-cli ceased to update. Below is the error that occurs in the end of update process:

$ kiro-cli update

If this is unexpected, try running kiro-cli doctor and then try again.

Comienza reproduciendo kiro-cli update en el entorno Linux indicado e inspecciona la ruta del actualizador que gestiona la descompresión de kiro-cli-chat. Compara el fallo de actualización con la salida correcta de kiro-cli doctor y con las pruebas existentes del actualizador, si están disponibles. Se considera terminado cuando una actualización desde la versión 2.19.0 se completa sin el error de descompresión y la CLI instalada alcanza la nueva versión.
