generate_image tool fails with ExpiredTokenException despite valid AWS credentials

[puneetpjl]

Describe the bug
The generate_image tool fails with "ExpiredTokenException: The security token included in the request is expired" even
though AWS credentials are valid and working for AWS CLI commands.

To Reproduce

1. Configure AWS credentials with temporary session credentials (access key, secret key, session token)
2. Verify credentials work: aws sts get-caller-identity ✅ succeeds
3. Verify Bedrock access: aws bedrock-runtime invoke-model --model-id amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0 ✅ succeeds
4. Start Q CLI session: kiro-cli chat --agent
5. Call generate_image tool directly in main session
6. ❌ Observe ExpiredTokenException error
7. Delegate same task to subagent using use_subagent
8. ✅ Observe that subagent's generate_image call succeeds

Expected behavior
The generate_image tool should successfully call Amazon Bedrock Nova Canvas API when valid AWS credentials are present
in ~/.aws/credentials and AWS CLI commands work correctly.

Actual behavior

• Main session:
  Error executing tool generate_image: Failed to generate image: An error occurred (ExpiredTokenException) when calling the InvokeModel operation: The security token included in the request is expired
• Subagent session: Image generation succeeds with same credentials

Evidence

• AWS credentials file contains valid aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, and aws_session_token
• aws sts get-caller-identity returns valid identity
• aws bedrock-runtime invoke-model succeeds with same credentials
• Subagent delegation works, main session fails
• Credentials are not expired (verified via AWS CLI)

Environment

• Q CLI Version: 1.23.1
• OS: macOS
• Region: us-east-1
• Model: amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0
• Credential type: Temporary session credentials with session token

Root Cause Hypothesis
The generate_image tool in the main session context is not properly reading credentials from the standard AWS credential
chain, while subagents reinitialize credential reading correctly.
