Research direction

Start with the example/string.cpp command shown in the report and reproduce the failed decrypt using the provided KMS ARN. Inspect the decryption error and the example's KMS-related inputs to determine why ciphertext created there cannot be decrypted. Done means identifying the cause and confirming a working decrypt or a clearly documented limitation.
