Proactively hunt for cdkd bugs by deploying real CDK apps that exercise common-but-untested AWS resources, configs, and CloudFormation notations against real AWS, then fix what breaks. Use for a periodic "find latent bugs" sweep, not for verifying a specific change.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# cdkd Bug Hunt

Find latent cdkd bugs the way real users hit them: write a small CDK app using a
resource / config / CFn notation **cdkd has not exercised yet**, deploy it to
real AWS, and watch what breaks — on deploy AND destroy. Reading the source finds
*suspected* bugs; deploying finds *real* ones. Exploratory and possibly
expensive, acceptable only because every deployed resource is destroyed and
verified gone ("Cleanup is non-negotiable" below).

## Core principles

1. **Many-people-hit beats niche.** Prioritize daily CDK patterns (S3→Lambda
   notifications, `BucketDeployment`, Lambda `logRetention`,
   `AwsCustomResource`, `LambdaRestApi`, adding a GSI / changing a property on
   redeploy, `grant*` IAM, cross-stack refs) over exotic edge cases.
2. **UPDATE and DESTROY are where bugs hide.** CREATE usually works; the
   high-value paths are redeploy-with-a-changed-property (replacement
   classification, silent drops) and delete (custom-resource onDelete,
   ordering, state cleanup). Always test an update and always run destroy.
3. **Check coverage first** — hunt in genuinely-uncovered territory:
   ```bash

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add go-to-k/cdkd/hunt-bugs@sha256:2e8dcfbade6fca94

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.f079138, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
