- Expand AWS Login Boundaries
- Expand Secure AWS Workflows
- Add Safe Role Assumption
- Strengthen Session Status
- Accelerate IAM Inventory
- Harden AWS Session Workflows
- Unify AWS Region Handling
- Save Reusable AWS Sessions
- **Authentication Boundaries** - Add browser and MFA login workflows that derive role-scoped credentials, reducing permissions exposed to local agents while preserving explicit ECR access and transactional recovery. - **Reusable Configuration** - Introduce accounts, targets, boundaries, policy storage, caching, inspection, repair, and portable configuration so users can manage safe multi-account login contracts consistently. - **Reliability Contract** - Document setup and trust requirements, harden validation and rollback behavior, and enforce 95% coverage so future changes preserve the security model.
- **Bounded Authentication** - Add browser and MFA login flows with named accounts, targets, role boundaries, session-policy caching, transactional logout, and ECR-safe credential handling so users can grant agents only the AWS access required for a task. - **IAM Lifecycle** - Add managed-policy, role, inventory, cleanup, and durable recovery commands with ownership checks, drift detection, dry-run planning, and compensation so remote changes remain auditable and recoverable. - **Operator Experience** - Add stable JSON and human-readable output, portable configuration, profile and cache inspection, comprehensive documentation, and wheel-ready dependencies so the CLI works predictably for people and automation. - **Quality Gates** - Align formatting, linting, packaging, live smoke tooling, and the test runner with repository conventions while enforcing warning-free tests and at least 95% coverage.
- **Role Assumption** - Add an explicit workflow that constrains an existing AWS login into a role-selected destination so agents receive only intended permissions, with saved targets and clear guidance. - **Credential Safety** - Prevent crashes or concurrent changes from restoring or overwriting broader authentication through fingerprinted plans, compare-and-swap recovery, and source, cache, and ECR cleanup.
- **Status Experience** - Present compact, terminal-safe lifecycle summaries with honest role, boundary, policy, TTL, and verification context so operators can understand active AWS access without reading raw metadata. - **Session Integrity** - Preserve non-secret policy provenance and validate cached scope, expiry, identity, and public JSON fields so stale or hostile state fails closed without leaking credentials.
- **Inventory Safety** - Add bounded canonical-path summaries with an account-wide opt-in, live ownership and immutable identity checks, and matched-only detail hydration. Large accounts can inspect IAM faster without allowing summary data to enter destructive cleanup planning. - **Operator Feedback** - Add delayed, sanitized stderr progress and stable JSON scope and completeness fields, with documentation that makes scan limits and automation behavior explicit.
- **Session Safety** - Bind browser refreshes to verified identity lineage, handle MFA codes without persistence, and make role assumptions and cleanup preserve only the intended credentials. - **IAM Management** - Add deterministic policy and role input resolution, legacy-resource adoption, and credential-free mutation plans so remote changes are explicit, reviewable, and recoverable. - **Audit History** - Record searchable, credential-free command outcomes with configurable retention and safe export so operators can understand activity without creating another secret store. - **CLI Experience** - Expand help and workflow documentation, and constrain formatting tasks to Git-visible files so repository checks work reliably from the project root.
- **Region Resolution** - Establish canonical, partition-aware region selection with friendly aliases and explicit precedence so every AWS operation uses one predictable region without accepting ambiguous input. - **Session Safety** - Preserve and transactionally update profile region state across browser, MFA, AssumeRole, ECR, and logout workflows so failed handoffs restore prior configuration and bounded credentials remain safe. - **Guided Operations** - Add discovery, explanation, alias, profile, and configuration commands with human-readable guidance so users can inspect, repair, and automate multi-account region choices confidently. - **Operational Reliability** - Validate region support and partition compatibility before remote actions while closing failed history database initialization cleanly to keep warning-free automation dependable.
- **Reusable Sessions** - Save successful MFA, browser, and role assumption workflows as account-scoped targets so agents can repeat least-privilege access without rebuilding configuration manually. - **Account Discovery** - Derive stable account identities and useful display metadata from authenticated sessions so account boundaries stay portable and deterministic when optional discovery is denied. - **Recovery And Privacy** - Preserve valid credentials after a failed configuration save, support managed-session recovery, and record only bounded structural history so diagnostics cannot become a secret store. - **Guided Operation** - Expand self-teaching help and focused docs so users can understand save syntax, partial success, account discovery, and safe history behavior directly from the CLI.
