Research direction

Start by locating IoTCoreCustomAuthorizerResponse and its policy_documents field, then inspect how IamPolicyDocument values are serialized. Look for related serialization or response tests and verify the completed change cannot produce a policyDocuments array containing null, matching the AWS IoT broker behavior described here.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It seems that IoTCoreCustomAuthorizerResponse can create a payload not accepted by AWS IOT broker.

The following attributes: pub policy_documents: Vec<Option<IamPolicyDocument>> allow a Vec that contains None but AWS IOT broker raise an AUTHORIZATION_FAILURE error in that case.

The corresponding json value is:

   "policyDocuments": [                                                                                                                                                                                                            
      null                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
    ]

Should policy_documents type be: Vec<IamPolicyDocument>> instead ?
