Kiro CLI Chat hangs silently with no output on Arch Linux (Kitty/Gnome Terminal). #3632

Description

@Tasfia-17

Checks

Operating system

Linux 6.12.57-1-lts - Arch Linux

Expected behaviour

I expected 'kiro-cli chat' to launch, display the interactive chat interface (including the Kiro CLI logo and welcome messages), and allow me to start chatting with Kiro.

Actual behaviour

When I run 'kiro-cli chat' in my terminal, it shows no output whatsoever and appears to hang indefinitely. It never displays the interactive chat interface, and no error messages are presented.

Steps to reproduce

No response
