+  `aws-cdk-lib` package and not the alpha packages. Rule only applies to alpha modules.

 * `no-core-construct`: Forbid the use of `Construct` and `IConstruct` from the "@aws-cdk/core" module.
   Instead use `Construct` and `IConstruct` from the "constructs" module.
   Rule only applies to typescript files under the `test/` folder.

+  `Aws.PARTITION` to ensure that the code works for other partitions too.
