Technical summary

cfn-lint IAM policy Sid validation needs to enforce the alphanumeric Sid rule without flagging unrelated policy fields.

Apply the Sid regex only to present Sid values and require alphanumeric characters for those values.

This issue is IAM-policy specific, so the validation should stay scoped to Sid fields in policy statements.

The snippet uses native project logic; the Sid value from each statement is checked before the IAM rule emits an error. 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')"
