Description
**Describe the bug**
Since version 1.188.0.0, Amazon Q generates files using only '\n' as newline characters (no '\r').
When asking Amazon Q to generate a patch for such a file, the model seems to run indefinitely and never returns a result.
Manually patching the file and replacing '\n' with '\r\n' resolves the problem and Amazon Q is then able to generate patches normally.
**To Reproduce**
1. Generate a file using a prompt.
2. Ask Amazon Q to generate a patch for this file.
3. The AI (Claude Sonnet 4.6 in my case) appears to run indefinitely and never completes.
**Expected behavior**
Amazon Q should generate the patch normally regardless of newline format.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by generating a file with LF-only newlines, requesting a patch, and comparing the behavior after converting it to CRLF. Start with the attached toolkit log and the Amazon Q patch-generation entry point; done means patch generation completes for files using either newline format.
