Technical summary

cfn-lint E3033 can count whitespace in IAM ManagedPolicy documents against the 6144 character policy limit.

Minify IAM ManagedPolicy JSON before applying maxLength/minLength validation so insignificant whitespace does not fail the policy.

The secondary queries name maxLength, minLength, minify, IAM, and ManagedPolicy, so the fix should be resource/property aware.

The snippet uses native project logic; the size check is run on the parsed PolicyDocument so whitespace and YAML formatting do not change the IAM limit calculation. The helper result is consumed directly by the patched code path.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import cfn_lint; print('smoke test OK')"
