Description
## Problem
Amazon Q with agentic AI was working fine in Visual Studio Code (version 1.102.0), but after some time, it started throwing the following error:
**connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:443**
## Steps to reproduce the issue
Go Amazon Q chat and type anything, it will give error.
---
### Expected Behavior
Amazon Q agentic AI should start its local server and connect to `::1:443` without failure.
---
### Actual Behavior
Fails with `ECONNREFUSED ::1:443` even though the system can bind to that port.
---
### Additional Notes
This appears to be a regression or internal failure in the agentic AI server startup logic. Please advise on how to debug or resolve this further.

### What I’ve Tried
- ✅ Confirmed that `::1:443` is accessible (tested with a local Node.js HTTPS server).
- ✅ Cleared all Amazon Q and AWS Toolkit cache folders:
- ✅ Reinstalled Amazon Q extension (latest version).
- ✅ Tried clean VS Code profile (`--user-data-dir`).
- ✅ Disabled IPv6 and tested.
- ✅ Verified no firewall or antivirus is blocking the port.
- ✅ Confirmed no other process is using port 443.
- ✅ Checked proxy settings and added `localhost,127.0.0.1,::1` to No Proxy list.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the failure in VS Code 1.102.0 with Amazon Q 1.83.0, then use AWS: About and Amazon Q: About to confirm the reported versions and inspect the agentic AI startup path. Done means Amazon Q chat accepts a request without the ECONNREFUSED ::1:443 error.
