Re-Sign In for WSL Window

Org subscription from the initial Kiro sign-in does not carry over to the WSL remote window. If credits show Kiro Free 50 / 50, sign in again (Your organization → IAM Identity Center, same Start URL and Region).

Kiro sign-in ≠ AWS CLI. AWS config (~/.aws, aws sso login, profiles) is on the WSL host in the GitHub/AWS Setup sections — not on Windows. Never symlink ~/.aws to C:\Users\...\.aws.

If Kiro shows “Unable to access path: ~/.aws/sso/cache/... — check whether ~/.aws is a symlink to Windows:

Terminal window
ls -la ~/.aws

If it shows lrwxrwxrwx ... /mnt/c/Users/...:

Terminal window
rm ~/.aws
mkdir -p ~/.aws/sso/cache
chmod 700 ~/.aws ~/.aws/sso ~/.aws/sso/cache

Kiro .aws/sso/cache permission error in WSL

Re-sign Kiro in the WSL window. AWS CLI setup continues in the AWS Setup section. Kiro workspace config is in the Kiro Workspace Configuration section.
