Kiro CLI 1.28.2 on Linux: profileArn missing after Google login, chat auth fails with Builder ID too

[cyclonite69]

Checks

• I have searched github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• I have run q doctor in the affected terminal session
• I have run q restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

Linux 6.19.6+parrot7-amd64 - Parrot Security 7.1 (echo)

Expected behaviour

After a successful login, Kiro CLI should attach a usable profile/session to the CLI and allow interactive chat requests to work normally.

Specifically:

• Google login should result in a usable profile being available to the CLI
• kiro-cli whoami should show the account/profile information needed for chat
• entering a prompt in interactive chat should succeed
• Builder ID / free login should also produce a valid chat session after successful authentication

Actual behaviour

Note: I am using kiro-cli, not q.

For the template checks, I ran the Kiro equivalents:

• kiro-cli doctor --all
• repeated logout/login
• reproduced the issue again in a fresh CLI session

I did not run q restart literally, because this issue is occurring in kiro-cli.

I am seeing two separate auth failures on Linux with kiro-cli 1.28.2.

1. Google login path:

• kiro-cli login succeeds
• interactive CLI starts
• /usage fails with:
  profileArn is required but no profiles are available. Please log in and select a profile.
• normal prompts like hello fail with the same profileArn / no profiles error

2. Builder ID / free login path:

• kiro-cli logout
• remove ~/.local/share/kiro-cli/data.sqlite3
• kiro-cli login --license free --use-device-flow succeeds
• kiro-cli whoami --format json-pretty returns:
  {"accountType":"BuilderId","email":null,"region":"us-east-1","startUrl":null}
• kiro-cli chat --list-models works
• interactive chat still fails when I type a prompt such as test
• error shown:
  Authentication failed. Your session may have expired. Run 'kiro-cli login' to re-authenticate.

So authentication appears to complete, but interactive chat remains unusable.

Steps to reproduce

This reproduces consistently.

Case 1: Google login / missing profileArn

1. Run kiro-cli logout
2. Run kiro-cli login
3. Complete Google sign-in successfully
4. Run kiro-cli
5. Run /usage or type hello
6. Observe:
   profileArn is required but no profiles are available

Case 2: Builder ID / free login / chat auth failure

1. Run kiro-cli logout
2. Run rm -f ~/.local/share/kiro-cli/data.sqlite3
3. Run kiro-cli login --license free --use-device-flow
4. Complete browser/device authorization successfully
5. Run kiro-cli whoami --format json-pretty
6. Run kiro-cli chat --list-models
7. Run kiro-cli
8. Type test
9. Observe:
   Authentication failed. Your session may have expired. Run 'kiro-cli login' to re-authenticate.

Additional notes:

• kiro-cli doctor --all was run
• issue reproduces after fresh logout/login
• issue reproduces after deleting local CLI state
• IDE works, but CLI interactive chat does not
