Description

## Problem
Hi! Seemed to have figured out the issue and brining it to your attention!

The Error is in Amazon Q extension for vscode. Logging in with the free tier seems to use the default endpoint_url from the .aws config file if one is set, which results in an error opening the web view client, this seemed to be the most relevant general one:

`[error] webviewId="aws.amazonq.AmazonCommonAuth": Error: Webview error
-> Error: Webview backend command failed: "startCodeWhispererBuilderIdSetup()"
-> Error: Failed to connect to AWS Builder ID [FailedToConnect]
-> SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "

## Expected behavior
Opens the webview client to create builder ID
## System details (run `AWS: About` and/or `Amazon Q: About`)

- OS: Windows
- Visual Studio Code version: newest
- AWS Toolkit version: newest
- Amazon Q version :newest

Research direction

Start by reproducing Amazon Q free-tier login in VS Code with endpoint_url set in the default profile of ~/.aws/config, then compare it with the setting removed. Done means the Builder ID webview opens successfully without the reported connection and JSON parsing errors, with coverage for the described configuration.
