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

Ubuntu

Expected behaviour

User should be able to add a new file to the /knowledge base with Best index type regardless of their machine's operating system

Actual behaviour

/knowledge add <filename> --index-type Best would result in Error: Failed to add: Invalid embedding type 'Best'. Valid options are: fast, best on Linux, even after changing to best (lowercase). The same command works perfectly fine on macOS

Steps to reproduce

/knowledge add <filename> --index-type Best
or
/knowledge add <filename> --index-type best
