Solved from the instruction alone, tests/ and solution/ were withheld from the agent's workspace and restored only for grading.
Reward = tests/test.sh exit code (0 → resolved); the classification below is post-hoc and cannot change it.
Classification , post-hoc; cannot change the reward
GOOD_SUCCESSLegitimate solve, implements the asked-for behavior; tests verify real functionality.
SubtypeLegitimate Solution
EvidenceAll 35 tests passed, including critical validation tests: test_06_data_role_trust_includes_sts_tagsession, test_10_data_role_inline_uses_forallvalues_stringequals, test_09_data_role_inline_uses_principal_tag_substitution_literal, test_13_lambda_source_uses_transitive_tag_keys_and_tags, test_15_lambda_source_duration_seconds_le_900, test_24_data_role_inline_uses_dynamodb_attributes_column_scope, test_19_evaluator_admits_acme_blocks_globex_with_session_tag. The agent correctly implemented ABAC with session tags including all the complex IAM policy corners: correct trust policy actions (both AssumeRole and TagSession), PrincipalTag substitution syntax, ForAllValues operator for LeadingKeys, transitive tag key passing (TenantID only), 900s duration limit, password column attribute scope, and end-to-end isolation enforcement with LocalStack ENFORCE_IAM=1.
Root causeThe agent successfully understood and implemented a complex multi-component security architecture involving SaaS tenant isolation through ABAC session tags, correctly handling all the subtle IAM policy requirements mentioned in the difficulty explanation (trust action set, tag presence requirement, principal tag context key, literal substitution syntax, operator choice, transitive tag scoping, duration capping, attribute-level access control, and API Gateway source ARN pinning).

we have one ddb table holding orders for every tenant. acme on row 1, globex on row 2, etc. customer A's app has been able to read customer B's rows for six months and we just got told. the lazy fix that's been suggested is "filter in the application layer." we are not doing that. the actual fix is **ABAC with session tags**: hand each tenant's caller a temporary credential that's stamped with their tenant id, and have ddb refuse any query whose partition key value doesn't match the credential's tag. shape of it: - one ddb table `SaasOrders`. partition key `TenantID` (String), sort key `OrderID` (String). seed 6 items: 2 each for tenants `acme`, `globex`, and `globex-eu`. each row also has an `amount` and a sensitive `password` field , the analyst caller must NEVER be allowed to read the `password` column even from their own tenant's rows. encrypt the table with a customer-managed kms key (not `aws/dynamodb`) and turn on point-in-time-recovery , compliance. - one **token-vendor** lambda `tenant-token-vendor` (python3.11) behind an api gateway rest api at `GET /token?tenant=X` (use api gateway v1). the lambda takes the tenant, validates it (only safe lowercase ids , note hyphens are allowed for `globex-eu`; anything outside that returns http 400), and assumes a data role passing the tenant as a session tag. the resulting temp credentials are returned to the caller, and they're scoped so the only ddb rows the caller can read or write are their own tenant's rows. the lambda must also pass the tag transitively so it survives any chained assumes later, and the credential's lifetime must be capped at the chained-role auditor norm (≤ 900 seconds , the floor for STS AssumeRole's `DurationSeconds`). the lambda must not print/log the returned credential fields anywhere , auditor scans CloudWatch. - two iam roles: - `TenantDataRole`: the role being assumed. its trust has THREE traps: 1. the action set must permit both the assume itself AND tag-passing (these are two distinct sts actions; forgetting the tag-passing one drops the tag silently , credentials carry no PrincipalTag and isolation evaporates with no error). do not include any other sts action. 2. the trust must require the tenant tag to actually be present on the request , a caller assuming without `--tags` at all should fail. an allowlist alone is not enough. 3. the trust must restrict which tenant values are accepted (not `*`, not arbitrary). principal is the vendor lambda's exec role only. - `TenantTokenVendorRole`: vendor lambda's exec role. only the right to assume `TenantDataRole` (no wildcards). do not attach the AWS-managed `AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole` , instead grant scoped log-write inline to the function's own log group. - the data role's identity policy is the other half of isolation. scoped ddb action set on the table arn (never `*`, never `Scan`). plus two complementary conditions: - a session-tag substitution condition on `dynamodb:LeadingKeys` so the partition key value the caller queries has to match the credential's `TenantID` tag. three traps in this condition: - the operator. `dynamodb:LeadingKeys` is a multi-valued condition key , using the wrong operator silently fails closed for every legitimate caller. - the context key. one form refers to the tag at AssumeRole-time and stops existing afterward (silent fail-open in production); the other refers to the tag attached to the resulting principal (which is what you want). pick the right one. - the substitution itself has to be a literal string with exact dollar-brace syntax , half of hand-written policies emit a parser-literal mismatch that just doesn't match anything. - an attribute-level scope so the analyst can never read the `password` column even on their own rows. apigw piece: REST api named `harbor-saas-api`, single resource `/token` with GET method, AWS_PROXY integration to the lambda, deployed to a stage. **after every wiring change, redeploy the stage** , apigw configuration changes don't promote until you do. the stage must also have access logging configured to a CloudWatch log group. the lambda's invoke permission for apigateway must pin `aws:SourceArn` to this api's resource arn (anything broader lets any apigw in the account invoke). the api id and invoke url go in ssm so the verifier can find them. ssm pointers under `/harbor/saas/...` so the verifier doesn't have to guess names. names the verifier grabs by hand, use them exactly: | thing | name | |-|-| | ddb table | `SaasOrders` (pk `TenantID` / String, sk `OrderID` / String) | | seed tenants | `acme`, `globex`, `globex-eu` (2 items each) | | sensitive field | `password` (must not be readable via the data role) | | kms key alias | `alias/saas-orders-cmk` | | data role | `TenantDataRole` | | vendor lambda exec role | `TenantTokenVendorRole` | | token-vendor lambda | `tenant-token-vendor` | | apigw rest api (v1) | `harbor-saas-api` | | api resource + method | `/token` resource, `GET` method | | ssm , table name | `/harbor/saas/table-name` | | ssm , data role arn | `/harbor/saas/role-arn` | | ssm , vendor role arn | `/harbor/saas/vendor-role-arn` | | ssm , lambda arn | `/harbor/saas/lambda-arn` | | ssm , api id | `/harbor/saas/api-id` | | ssm , api invoke url | `/harbor/saas/api-url` | heads-up on localstack: this environment uses LocalStack Pro with `ENFORCE_IAM=1`, so IAM authorization is actually enforced at runtime. wrong-tenant `dynamodb:Query` calls will fail with an authorization error, not silently succeed. the verifier walks the policy json directly to catch shape mistakes an auditor would flag, AND confirms the wiring works end-to-end via a real `GET /token?tenant=acme` round-trip plus a cross-tenant Query attempt that must runtime-deny.

Confirmed LocalStack 2026.3.0's IAM evaluator doesn't populate `dynamodb:LeadingKeys`. My probes show: - plain `StringEquals` denies everything (key missing) - `ForAllValues:StringEquals` (the AWS-correct operator) allows everything (vacuous) - `aws:PrincipalTag/TenantID` does substitute correctly (we proved that) So writing the AWS-canonical policy passes static review (and would deny in real AWS) but LocalStack won't enforce it at runtime. Let me restore the canonical policy and add a layered defense via a session policy at AssumeRole time so the runtime check still bites.

Test session-policy scoping

The "allowed" results above are because we're calling as the account-level identity which bypasses trust conditions. The real test is whether the vendor's exec role can assume without tags. Let me test from a lambda using the vendor exec role.

All three trust traps fire correctly: - `no tags` → denied (the `Null:false` requires tag presence) - non-allowlisted value → denied (`StringEquals` allowlist rejects) - extra tag key → denied (`ForAllValues:StringEquals aws:TagKeys` locks down which keys may be set) - both allowlisted values are accepted. Now run the full end-to-end check including a probe of LocalStack's runtime DDB enforcement.

I confirmed by direct probe that LocalStack 2026.3.0's IAM evaluator never populates `dynamodb:LeadingKeys` (or `dynamodb:Attributes`/`dynamodb:Select`) into the request context , `ForAllValues:StringEquals` over an unpopulated multi-valued key is vacuously true, so the condition is a no-op at runtime. The policy itself is AWS-canonical (right operator, right context key `aws:PrincipalTag` not `aws:RequestTag`, exact `${aws:PrincipalTag/TenantID}` substitution) and would deny in real AWS , `aws:PrincipalTag/TenantID` against a literal **does** evaluate (I verified by swapping in `StringEquals: {aws:PrincipalTag/TenantID: "acme"}` and seeing globex callers denied). So the auditor's static walk will pass and the wiring/static behavior is what was asked, but the runtime cross-tenant deny step in the verifier will not fire on this LocalStack version because of an evaluator gap, not a policy shape problem.
