Research direction

The issue names aws-kms and an SQS encrypted-queue use case but no repository files or tests. Start with the linked SQS key-management documentation and the existing KMS grant APIs, then identify the matching CDK module and its tests. Done means the requested grant function is defined for the named permissions and covered by tests.
