Description

## Problem
After I login with SSO my credential options are a mix of SSO - credentials and profiles from ~/.aws/config (which are also SSO based profiles).

## Expected behavior
Desired behavior is when using SSO I can have my ~/.aws/config profiles hidden and only see the - credentials from IdC.

Research direction

The issue names AWS SSO login and profiles in ~/.aws/config, but no source file or test entry point. Start by tracing how SSO credential options and config profiles are discovered, then verify that SSO mode can hide the config profiles while retaining - credentials.
