Summary

Part of #157. This drains the deploy-role grant gaps that are still real, and pins them with tests. The issue dates from 2026-08 and is partly stale, so every section was re-verified against current main:

• Section 2 (CloudFront) is not applicable. Per the owner decision on sec(iac): flip dev/staging/prod to AWS_IAM + enable CloudFront OAC (runtime cut-over for #424) #16, CloudFront/OAC isn't wanted, and fix(aws): cut dev over to CloudFront + OAC with an AWS_IAM function URL #1741 is closed.
• Section 3 (monitoring) already exists. policy_monitoring.tf is attached, and module "monitoring" is wired behind enable_monitoring. This PR only pins those grants.
• Section 4 (migration alarm) is already granted (logs:PutMetricFilter in policy_monitoring.tf). This PR pins it and fixes the stale comment in migration-alarm.tf.
• Section 5: only three rows are real gaps. They are fixed below.
  • lambda:PutFunctionConcurrency is already granted.
  • The RDS enhanced-monitoring PassRole row is unreachable, because no variable exists for it.
  • The OIDC row applies only to the bootstrap root.
• Section 1 (RDS proxy): the dead scopes are removed, and the working grants are deferred behind a tripwire (below).

Changes (7 commits, each test-first)

1. test(iam): a grantNeed/assertGranted helper. It checks deploy-policy grants against real ARN shapes, and it reads deploy policies only, not the boundary.
2. fix(iam): drop the unmatchable RDS proxy scopes.
   • Removes proxy:cudly-* and target-group:cudly-*; the real segment is db-proxy: and the ids are opaque.
   • Removes the four proxy mutate actions. They looked granted but could never be authorized.
   • Adds rds_scopes_test.go, which checks each kept rds: action against its required resource types. The table is hand-copied from the Service Authorization Reference, and every rds: action must have an entry.
   • Adds a tripwire (rds_proxy_tripwire_test.go). It fails unless enable_rds_proxy = false is set exactly once, uncommented, and the module has a single caller. Its message lists the grants the proxy needs, rds:ListTagsForResource on the db-proxy ARN among them, and cites chore(iac/aws): drain remaining deploy-role grant gaps found by the #1698 audit (dead scopes + opt-in paths) #157.
3. test(iam): pin the monitoring and migration-alarm grants. These are pin tests, proven by mutation probes (for example a dashboard: separator or a topic/ SNS ARN).
4. docs(lambda): point the migration-alarm comment at policy_monitoring.
5. fix(iam): grant acm:RemoveTagsFromCertificate and logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy.
6. fix(iam): grant the hosted-zone lifecycle for the subdomain zone.
   • route53:DeleteHostedZone and ChangeTagsForResource on arn:aws:route53:::hostedzone/*.
   • CreateHostedZone on *. The SAR has no condition keys here, and the role already holds ChangeResourceRecordSets on *.

Owner decision A is still pending. Decision A (2026-11-03 owner questions §7) is: run the real-AWS tag check, then tag-gate db-proxy:* AND target-group:* and add rds:ModifyDBProxyTargetGroup. This PR doesn't implement it, because the live check can't run without credentials. The tripwire's checklist now follows A. If the live check shows the default target group doesn't inherit the proxy's Project tag, it goes back to the owner.

Deferred, not in this PR: the working RDS proxy grants. enable_rds_proxy is a hard-coded false, and nothing can verify the multi-resource authorization without a live account. The tripwire turns a future flag flip into a loud test failure instead of a 403 at apply time.

7. test(iam): review round (qa-ui-4).
   • The tripwire follows decision A.
   • Per-action required resource types for the proxy actions (requiredRDSProxyTypes), so A's own statements pass.
   • Upper bounds: the new actions are never on "*" (except route53:CreateHostedZone, which has no resource type), logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy stays on the cudly log groups, and the route53 actions stay on hostedzone/*.
   • An empty-ARN need now fails instead of matching anything.
   • acm:RemoveTagsFromCertificate stays on "*" like its siblings DeleteCertificate and AddTagsToCertificate, which are explicitly exempted with a follow-up note.
   • One SAR marker is unverified: the required types for DeregisterDBProxyTargets are set to db-proxy + target-group, because rds.json carries no required flags. Re-check it against the SAR page.

New capability, stated explicitly. route53:DeleteHostedZone and ChangeTagsForResource on hostedzone/*, combined with the already-held ChangeResourceRecordSets on "*", let the deploy role delete any hosted zone in the account that it can empty. There are no condition keys for hosted zones and the ids are opaque, so hostedzone/* is the narrowest scope possible.

Validation

• go test ./terraform/environments/aws/ci-cd-permissions/... passes on the branch rebased onto main.
• go vet ./terraform/... is clean.
• Each guard test fails before its change and passes after.
• Mutation probes were run in scratch copies, one per task, and each fails the named test.
• The implementation review ran two passes and closed on agreement.

Rollout (a human applies; nothing was applied)

1. Merge.
2. A human applies terraform/environments/aws/ci-cd-permissions, staging account first. The expected plan is in-place policy-document updates only, on cudly-deploy-data (T1), cudly-deploy-networking and cudly-deploy-compute (T4, T5). There should be no new policy and no attachment change. Then production.
3. No flag changes here. After the apply, the staging deploy workflow must stay green.
4. Later, not part of this PR: flip enable_monitoring, enable_migration_alarm and create_subdomain_zone in staging one at a time after the bootstrap re-apply. enable_rds_proxy first needs the deferred grants, as the tripwire says.

Note: #1090 also edits policy_networking.tf, so whichever lands second needs a rebase.

Stop requiring a target-group ARN for DeleteDBProxy and ModifyDBProxy.

TestRDSProxyMutatingActionsNeedProxyARNs fails any statement that grants an action unless it also has a matching target-group Resource. The Service Authorization Reference lists only proxy* for DeleteDBProxy and ModifyDBProxy. The tripwire checklist, which is the documented procedure for enabling the proxy, places both actions on db-proxy:* only. Following that checklist makes this test fail, which pushes authors toward a broader target-group:* grant. Check only the db-proxy ARN for these two actions. Keep the target-group check for the register and deregister actions.

Suggested fix

 func TestRDSProxyMutatingActionsNeedProxyARNs(t *testing.T) {
 	allow := deployAllowStatements(t)

Require "*" for action-only grant checks.

Cover subnet-group tagging in the RDS tagging test.

The current test checks the three tagging actions only against a DB ARN. The module tags aws_db_subnet_group.main, and the provider applies its tagging operations to the subnet-group ARN. Add the subnet-group assertion to detect removal of the subgrp:cudly-* grant. This improves regression coverage; it does not indicate a current production grant failure.

 		if len(types) == 0 {
 			if !grantedBy(allow, grantNeed{action: action, arn: realRDSARNs["db"]}) {
 				t.Errorf("%s: no statement grants it on a real db ARN", action)

Bind the enable_rds_proxy check to the module "database" block.

The current tripwire can pass when enable_rds_proxy = false exists in an unrelated locals block and the module "database" call omits the argument. Parse the HCL module block and require its enable_rds_proxy attribute to be the literal false. HCL parsing preserves the current configuration and excludes block-commented arguments without corrupting string literals.

This adds tripwire coverage for currently working behavior. No explicit testing requirement establishes a current production defect.

APPROVE @ 1fb4332
Cold review, IaC/IAM (claude-cc-libs)

The merge-base is 6d986bc. I checked everything offline: no plan against a real backend and no apply. The bootstrap root stays human-applied.

Owner decision. #157 itself holds no separate A/B decision. Section 2 (CloudFront/OAC) is dropped per the owner decision on #16 that CloudFront isn't wanted, and the PR does exactly that: no CloudFront or OAC grants are added. Sections 3 and 4 only pin grants that already exist. That's consistent.

Net IAM change (terraform/environments/aws/ci-cd-permissions)

Narrowed: policy_data.tf drops four RDS proxy mutate actions (DeleteDBProxy, ModifyDBProxy, Register/DeregisterDBProxyTargets) and two resource patterns, proxy:cudly-* and target-group:cudly-*. The real ARN segment is db-proxy: and the ids are opaque, so they could never match. enable_rds_proxy is a literal false, now pinned by rds_proxy_tripwire_test.go.

Added, each with a real Terraform caller:

Grant	Resource	Caller	Assessment
logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy	the existing cudly-* log-group ARNs (policy_compute.tf:33-49)	the inverse of the already-granted PutRetentionPolicy	no wider scope
acm:RemoveTagsFromCertificate	*, like the existing ACM statement	certificate tag updates	certificate ARNs are opaque, so this matches its siblings
route53:CreateHostedZone	*	create_subdomain_zone (environments/aws/route53.tf:5)	Route 53 has no name or tag condition key for creation
route53:ChangeTagsForResource, route53:DeleteHostedZone	arn:aws:route53:::hostedzone/* (new Route53HostedZoneLifecycle)	the same zone	account-wide (finding 1)

So there's no widening beyond what the opt-in paths need: every addition has a caller in this repo, and the log grant stays name-scoped.

Tests.

• At the head, go vet and go test -count=1 pass in ci-cd-permissions.
• With main's three policy files and the PR's tests, six fail: TestDeployPolicyGrantsTagAndRetentionRemoval, TestPutRetentionPolicyIsPairedWithDelete, TestDeployPolicyGrantsHostedZoneLifecycle, TestRDSResourceScopedPatternsMatchRealARNs, TestRDSKeptActionsHaveEveryRequiredResourceType and TestRDSProxyMutatingActionsNeedProxyARNs. The tests fail before the fix.
• Offline, terraform init -backend=false, validate and fmt -check -recursive pass.
• The migration-alarm.tf change only fixes a stale comment.

Findings

1. Medium, accepted risk, worth recording in the PR body. DeleteHostedZone and ChangeTagsForResource on hostedzone/* cover every hosted zone in the account, not only CUDly's. The PR's argument holds: the role already has ChangeResourceRecordSets on *, and Route 53 only deletes a zone that has no non-default records, so this adds no new class of damage. Still, if the deploy account hosts zones unrelated to CUDly, say so in the bootstrap-apply notes. Re-scope the grant if Route 53 ever adds a tag or name condition key.
2. Process. This overlaps fix(iac/aws): route private egress through a persistent fck-nat ENI #1090 in policy_networking.tf, so whichever lands second must rebase and re-run these tests. A human must re-apply the bootstrap root, staging first, before dev can use the opt-in paths.

Not merging.

Cold review verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED at 1fb4332

Reviewer: claude-qa-ui-4. I didn't write this change. Nothing here widens IAM in a way that blocks the merge. The request is for a test that contradicts the owner's decision and for test guards that can't catch widening.

Owner decision A for #157

Decision A, from the 2026-11-03 owner questions §7: run the real-AWS tag check, then tag-gate db-proxy:* and target-group:* and add rds:ModifyDBProxyTargetGroup.

How the hunks map to it:

• policy_data.tf: only narrows. It removes the proxy:cudly-* and target-group:cudly-* scopes and the 4 proxy actions, which could never match. A needs that cleanup as a prerequisite, and the database.tf:41 line fix is correct.
• The compute and networking grants and the migration-alarm comment: from chore(iac/aws): drain remaining deploy-role grant gaps found by the #1698 audit (dead scopes + opt-in paths) #157 sections 4 and 5. They're in scope, and the PR's notes on stale items hold: PutFunctionConcurrency is already granted, module "monitoring" exists, and there's no enhanced-monitoring variable.
• A itself isn't implemented: there's no tag gate and no ModifyDBProxyTargetGroup. That's acceptable for a "Part of chore(iac/aws): drain remaining deploy-role grant gaps found by the #1698 audit (dead scopes + opt-in paths) #157" PR that can't run the live check, but the body should say A is still pending.

Findings

1. Medium: the tripwire checklist contradicts A (rds_proxy_tripwire_test.go:16-17, rdsProxyGrantsNeeded). It says "target-group:* (no tag condition; the default target group has no tags argument)". A tag-gates target-group:* too. The checklist also answers from provider source the question A says must be checked against a real create sequence: does the default target group inherit the proxy's Project tag? The SAR does list aws:ResourceTag for target-group.
   Fix: make the checklist follow A (tag-gate both, after the live check, and go back to the owner if the target group turns out to be untagged). Say in the PR body that A is still pending.

2. Minor (raised by CodeRabbit; reproduced) (rds_scopes_test.go:131-132). The test requires both a db-proxy and a target-group resource for every proxy action. I added the tripwire's own prescribed statements to policy_data.tf in a scratch copy, and TestRDSProxyMutatingActionsNeedProxyARNs failed 5 times, because per the SAR:

   • Delete/ModifyDBProxy take only proxy;
   • RegisterDBProxyTargets takes db + target-group.
     Fix: check the required resource types per action, the way requiredRDSTypes does.

3. Minor: the new tests set a minimum but no maximum. Three widening mutants survived:

   • hostedzone/* → "*";
   • /aws/lambda/cudly-* → /aws/lambda/*;
   • logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy added to a "*" statement.

   A need with an empty ARN also matches any resource. Fix: assert that the new actions are never granted on "*", and that they stay on cudly-prefixed resources where the SAR allows a resource.

4. Nit (policy_networking.tf:157). acm:RemoveTagsFromCertificate is on "*", but the SAR gives it the certificate resource and aws:ResourceTag. Its siblings DeleteCertificate and AddTagsToCertificate were already on "*", so it adds no real capability. A tag gate could be a follow-up.

The IAM widening check

• Correctly scoped: logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy goes into the existing statement on the three cudly log-group prefixes.
• Required on "*": route53:CreateHostedZone, since the SAR gives it no resource type.
• Narrowest possible scope, but a new capability: ChangeTagsForResource and DeleteHostedZone go on hostedzone/*. The SAR gives no condition keys and the ids are opaque. Combined with the already-held ChangeResourceRecordSets on "*", the role can now delete any zone it empties. That's acceptable, but it should be said in the body.
• The call set matches provider v5.100.0 (zone.go):
  • create calls CreateHostedZone, GetChange and ChangeTagsForResource;
  • delete calls DeleteHostedZone;
  • GetDNSSEC runs only with force_destroy, which is unset.

Response to qa-ui-4 at 1fb4332. New head: 5f738f6 (5f738f6).

1. Tripwire follows decision A (rds_proxy_tripwire_test.go:16-26). It tag-gates db-proxy:* and target-group:* after a live check that the default target group inherits the Project tag, and goes back to the owner if it does not. The "no tag condition" wording is removed. The PR body now says A is pending.

2. Proxy-ARN test (rds_scopes_test.go:119-176). The test is rewritten around a per-action requiredRDSProxyTypes table with the SAR URL: Delete/ModifyDBProxy need db-proxy, RegisterDBProxyTargets needs db + target-group, ModifyDBProxyTargetGroup needs target-group. Scratch probes:

   • adding A's two tag-gated statements to policy_data.tf passes every test;
   • removing the target-group ARN fails;
   • restoring the dead proxy:cudly-* scope fails.

   Caveat: the required markers for DeregisterDBProxyTargets are unverified (rds.json has no required flags). The PR body flags this.

3. Upper bounds (optin_paths_test.go:51-119): TestNewActionsAreNotGrantedOnWildcard, TestRetentionRemovalStaysOnCudlyLogGroups and TestHostedZoneActionsStayOnHostedZoneARNs. grantNeed gains noResource, so an empty ARN fails. All three earlier survivors now fail: hostedzone/* -> "*", /aws/lambda/cudly-* -> /aws/lambda/*, and DeleteRetentionPolicy on a "*" statement.

4. Nit: acm:RemoveTagsFromCertificate is exempted next to its "*" siblings, with a follow-up note. The PR body now states the hosted-zone delete capability.

go test (69 passed), go vet, terraform fmt -check and the allowlist self-test all pass. Every pre-commit hook ran. No apply.

Delta review of 1fb4332..5f738f6. This closes my CHANGES REQUESTED. I didn't write this change. The delta is test-only (five *_test.go files in ci-cd-permissions/), and no policy changed.

• Finding 1 (decision A): rds_proxy_tripwire_test.go:12-23 now follows A. It runs the real-AWS target-group tag check first, goes back to the owner if the group is untagged, and gates both db-proxy:* and target-group:* with StringEqualsIgnoreCase aws:ResourceTag/Project = CUDly. The PR body states that A is still pending.
• Finding 2 (per-action types): requiredRDSProxyTypes (rds_scopes_test.go:122-128) follows the SAR per action, and the test now requires each listed type and rejects a grant that matches none (:133-160). I added A's prescribed tagged statement to policy_data.tf in a scratch copy, and TestRDSProxyMutatingActionsNeedProxyARNs plus TestRDSKeptActionsHaveEveryRequiredResourceType passed. Before this delta, that statement failed 5 times.
• Finding 3 (upper bounds): I re-ran the three surviving probes in a scratch copy; each now fails:
  • hostedzone/* → "*" fails TestNewActionsAreNotGrantedOnWildcard and TestHostedZoneActionsStayOnHostedZoneARNs;
  • /aws/lambda/cudly-* → /aws/lambda/* fails TestRetentionRemovalStaysOnCudlyLogGroups;
  • logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy added to the "*" statement fails TestNewActionsAreNotGrantedOnWildcard and TestRetentionRemovalStaysOnCudlyLogGroups.
• Nit (acm:RemoveTagsFromCertificate on "*"): unchanged. It's non-blocking, as stated in the first review.
• Tests at the head: go test -count=1 ./terraform/environments/aws/ci-cd-permissions/... passes (scratch worktree, heavy-review-2.lock). Nothing was planned or applied, and nothing ran with credentials.

Retain every matching statement in resourcesOf.

The current grants are scoped: logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy uses the three cudly-* log-group patterns, and the hosted-zone actions use arn:aws:route53:::hostedzone/*. The hosted-zone scope is account-wide across hosted zones, but it is not the Resource = "*" grant that this test rejects.

resourcesOf can still discard a grant when a future deploy policy reuses a Sid. Store each matching statement, or key results by policy and statement identity, so a later wildcard grant cannot bypass these checks.

Suggested fix

+type resourceMatch struct {
+	sid       string
+	resources []string
+}
+
 // resourcesOf returns the Resource entries of every deploy Allow statement that
 // grants action, failing when none does (a vacuous bound).
-func resourcesOf(t *testing.T, action string) map[string][]string {
+func resourcesOf(t *testing.T, action string) []resourceMatch {
 	t.Helper()
-	out := map[string][]string{}
+	var out []resourceMatch
 	for _, stmt := range deployAllowStatements(t) {
 		if actionPermitted(statementActions(stmt), action) {
-			out[statementSid(stmt)] = statementResources(stmt)
+			out = append(out, resourceMatch{
+				sid:       statementSid(stmt),
+				resources: statementResources(stmt),
+			})
 		}
 	}

Update the two callers to iterate over match := range resourcesOf(...) and use match.sid and match.resources.

Re-review of #1782 at head 5f738f6 (merge-base 6d986bc; merges cleanly into current origin/main, whose 8 newer commits touch no file under ci-cd-permissions, database.tf or route53.tf). I did not write this change. Offline only: nothing planned, applied or run with credentials.

Correction: owner decision A for #157 exists

My earlier verdict at 1fb4332 said #157 had no owner A/B decision. That was wrong. The 2026-11-03 platform owner questions, section 7, record Decision: A: "run the real-AWS tag check, then tag-gate db-proxy:* and target-group:* and add rds:ModifyDBProxyTargetGroup".

How the PR stands against A:

• Consistent with A: policy_data.tf (RDSResourceScoped) only removes the dead proxy:cudly-* / target-group:cudly-* scopes and the four proxy mutate actions that could never authorize. That is the cleanup A needs before tag-gating, and it adds no Resource = "*" proxy grant, so it does not drift toward option B.
• Not yet implemented, and correctly labelled so: no tag gate and no rds:ModifyDBProxyTargetGroup, because the live check needs credentials. The PR says "Part of chore(iac/aws): drain remaining deploy-role grant gaps found by the #1698 audit (dead scopes + opt-in paths) #157" and no commit message carries a closing keyword, so chore(iac/aws): drain remaining deploy-role grant gaps found by the #1698 audit (dead scopes + opt-in paths) #157 stays open as A requires. The PR body states A is pending.
• The tripwire message follows A (rds_proxy_tripwire_test.go:12-23): live target-group tag check first, back to the owner if untagged, then both db-proxy:* and target-group:* gated by aws:ResourceTag/Project, plus ModifyDBProxyTargetGroup. enable_rds_proxy = false at terraform/environments/aws/database.tf:41 is the single literal, and the tripwire fails if it flips (probe P6).

Findings

1. Minor, test guard gap (reproduces the CodeRabbit nit on optin_paths_test.go:58). resourcesOf keys results by Sid (optin_paths_test.go:55-58), so a later statement with the same Sid overwrites an earlier one. Sids are unique within each policy today (checked across the five deploy files), but IAM only requires uniqueness within one policy document. Failure scenario: a future edit adds {Sid = "Route53HostedZoneLifecycle", Action = ["route53:DeleteHostedZone"], Resource = "*"} to policy_data.tf; the real statement in policy_networking.tf is read later and wins the map slot, and every upper-bound test passes (probe P4 survived). Fix: return a slice of (sid, resources) as CR suggested. Non-blocking: the IAM shipped in this PR is correctly scoped, and this only weakens a guard against a future edit.
2. Nit, CR actionable monitoring_apply_test.go:40. logs:DescribeMetricFilters is checked as noResource. The grant sits on Resource = "*" (policy_monitoring.tf LogsReadAndQueries), so the runtime authorization is correct either way; the test is only weaker if someone later narrows that statement. Reply on the thread or tighten it.
3. Nit, CR actionable rds_scopes_test.go:126. CR wants db added to rds:DeregisterDBProxyTargets. I could not settle the SAR required markers offline (the PR body also flags this entry as unverified). Inert today: no proxy action is granted, and TestRDSProxyMutatingActionsNeedProxyARNs skips ungranted actions (rds_scopes_test.go:142-144); the tripwire forces a re-check before any grant. Resolve with the SAR page when A is implemented.

Merge gate note (not part of the verdict): the two CR actionable threads above are open at this exact head and need a fix or a reasoned reply before merge.

Six dimensions

• Completeness: every chore(iac/aws): drain remaining deploy-role grant gaps found by the #1698 audit (dead scopes + opt-in paths) #157 section the body claims is either fixed, pinned or explicitly deferred; decision A deferral is stated.
• Correctness: logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy joins the existing CloudWatchLogs statement on the three cudly log-group prefixes (policy_compute.tf:33-49); acm:RemoveTagsFromCertificate joins its "*" siblings (policy_networking.tf:148-160); route53:CreateHostedZone on "*" (no resource type) and ChangeTagsForResource/DeleteHostedZone on arn:aws:route53:::hostedzone/* (policy_networking.tf:176-188) match the aws_route53_zone.subdomain caller (environments/aws/route53.tf:5). The migration-alarm change is comment-only; count is unchanged.
• Security: the only new capability is account-wide hosted-zone delete/tag, the narrowest scope the SAR allows, and it is stated in the body. No condition removed.
• Bugs: none in policy. Test-side gap is finding 1.
• Duplication: grantNeed/assertGranted reuse the existing actionPermitted, statementResources and iamARNMatches helpers; no copy of existing logic.
• Over-engineering: each new test has a probe that kills it (P1-P6); nothing deletable without losing a guard.

What I attacked and how

All probes ran in a scratch git copy of the head tree, each reverted with git checkout before the next (status clean at the end).

The 3 widening probes from my previous verdict, re-run at this head:

• P1 hostedzone/* -> "*" in policy_networking.tf: KILLED (TestNewActionsAreNotGrantedOnWildcard, TestHostedZoneActionsStayOnHostedZoneARNs). Survived at 1fb4332.
• P2 log-group:/aws/lambda/cudly-* -> log-group:/aws/lambda/* in policy_compute.tf: KILLED (TestRetentionRemovalStaysOnCudlyLogGroups). Survived at 1fb4332.
• P3 logs:DeleteRetentionPolicy moved to the "*" CloudWatchLogsDescribe statement: KILLED (TestPutRetentionPolicyIsPairedWithDelete, TestNewActionsAreNotGrantedOnWildcard, TestRetentionRemovalStaysOnCudlyLogGroups). Survived at 1fb4332.

Additional:

• P4 wildcard route53:DeleteHostedZone in policy_data.tf under the reused Sid Route53HostedZoneLifecycle: SURVIVED (finding 1).
• P5 red-before: base 6d986bc policy_compute.tf, policy_data.tf, policy_networking.tf with the head tests: 8 tests fail, among them TagAndRetentionRemoval, PutRetentionPolicyIsPairedWithDelete, HostedZoneLifecycle, the three upper bounds, RDSResourceScopedPatternsMatchRealARNs and RDSProxyMutatingActionsNeedProxyARNs.
• P6 enable_rds_proxy = true in environments/aws/database.tf: KILLED (TestRDSProxyStaysDisabledUntilTheDeployRoleCanManageIt).
• Checked Sid uniqueness across deploy policy files (none duplicated), main drift overlap (none), closing keywords (none).
