cfn-lint E3033 IAM ManagedPolicy size limit 6144 characters whitespace | cfn-lint github E3033 string length validator maxLength minLength implementation | cfn-lint "maxLength" "json" "minify" "IAM" "ManagedPolicy" site:github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-lint

Older notes for aws-cloudformation__cfn-lint-3947 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

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.
