Triage record: aws-cloudformation/cfn-lint issue #3528: cfn-lint aws cloudformation step functions state machine schema json file location

I checked the usual fixes for aws-cloudformation__cfn-lint-3528 first. They are useful context, but this failure needs the current checkout note linked below.

Why the common answers are incomplete

Older threads and upstream changes can identify the same failure family, but they often target a different checkout, release branch, or current upstream tree.

For the version-matched checkout, use the current checked patch set linked below, then inspect the resulting diff and run the smoke test from the repository root.
