Support simulating/testing identity & auth logic in local dev before deploying to AWS #1725

Description

@jesseturner21

Summary

Customers want to simulate and test identity/auth logic in the local dev environment before deploying to AWS. Today, if an agent isn't deployed to AWS, the auth process can't be exercised locally — even when existing identity resources are available.

Problem

  • Testing the auth/identity flow currently requires a full deployment to AWS.
  • There's no way to validate identity logic locally against existing identity resources.
  • This slows the dev loop: developers must deploy just to verify auth behaves as expected.

Desired behavior

  • Ability to run/simulate the agent's identity and auth logic in the local dev environment.
  • Local testing should be able to leverage existing identity resources so the auth process can be exercised without a deployment to AWS.

Environment

  • CLI version: 0.22.0
  • User agent: AgentCoreCLI/0.22.0 (darwin 25.5.0; node/v24.2.0)
  • OS: darwin 25.5.0
  • Node: v24.2.0
