Description

## Problem

Q sometimes just hangs. For example it shows the shell command it is executing (forever) and there's a stop button you can press. It never completes unless you stop it. Or the command completes, but Q doesn't take the next action and there's a "stop" button in the bottom right corner of the "ask a question" pane.

## Steps to reproduce the issue

Ask it to run some commands

## Expected behavior

Actions get completed in a timely fashion

## System details (run `AWS: About` and/or `Amazon Q: About`)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang in VS Code on Windows 11 with Amazon Q 1.101.0, using the reported case of running commands. Observe whether the command itself fails to finish or whether Q fails to start the next action after completion. Done means actions complete in a timely fashion without requiring the Stop button.
