require-aws-amplify-artifacts-files

Require explicit AWS Amplify artifacts.files patterns.

Targeted pattern scope

artifacts.files entries in amplify.yml or amplify.yaml.

What this rule reports

This rule reports Amplify build specs that define an artifacts: block but omit artifacts.files.

Why this rule exists

Amplify can deploy whatever files are produced by your build. If artifact include patterns are implicit, reviewers cannot easily see what is published. Committing explicit artifacts.files patterns makes deploy output reviewable and reduces accidental artifact drift.
