Description
Environment:
OS: Windows 11
Workspace: .NET 10 MAUI project (~medium size) visual studio 26
Mode: Agentic coding ON
Symptoms:
Chat responses freeze mid-stream
Tool calls (executeBash, file reads) time out and never return
Three parallel executeBash calls all failed simultaneously with "Tool use was cancelled by the user" even though user did NOT cancel — they just stopped responding
Happens repeatedly, not a one-off
Reproduction:
Open workspace with a .NET MAUI project
Use Amazon Q Chat in agentic mode
Send messages / let it execute tool calls
Chat freezes — no response, UI becomes unresponsive
Expected: Chat and tool calls complete normally
Actual: Hangs indefinitely, tool calls silently fail

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the hang in Visual Studio 26 on Windows 11 with a medium .NET 10 MAUI workspace and Agentic coding enabled. Start by collecting the AWS Toolkit logs referenced in the issue while testing chat responses, file reads, and executeBash calls. Done means the cause of the repeated freezes and cancelled tool calls is identified and normal completion is restored.
