Shell execution hangs on interactive commands (sudo, password prompts)

Problem

Amazon Q's shell command execution hangs or gets cancelled when executing commands that require interactive input, specifically sudo commands that prompt for a password. This prevents completion of system administration tasks that are common in development workflows.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Open Amazon Q chat in VS Code
2. Ask Amazon Q to execute a shell command that requires interactive input
3. Example: Request to run sudo chown $USER:$USER some-directory/
4. Observe that the command execution either:
   • Hangs indefinitely without prompting for password
   • Gets cancelled with "Tool use was cancelled by the user" message
   • Times out without completing

Expected behavior

The shell execution should either:

• Provide a way to handle interactive prompts (password input)
• Clearly indicate that interactive commands are not supported
• Offer alternative approaches (like suggesting sudo -n for non-interactive execution)

Currently, the execution appears to start but never completes, leaving the user uncertain about what happened.

System details

• OS: Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.26100.4351
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.101.1 (system setup)
• AWS Toolkit version: 3.66.0
• Amazon Q version: 1.77.0

Additional Context:
This issue affects common development workflows where system-level permissions are needed, such as:

• Fixing Docker volume mount permissions (sudo chown)
• Installing system packages (sudo apt install)
• Modifying system configuration files
• Any command requiring elevated privileges

Workaround:
Users must manually execute these commands in a separate terminal, which breaks the integrated development experience that Amazon Q provides.
