 * Base class for detached constructs that throw UnscopedValidationError

 * This is used by legacy APIs like ManagedPolicy.fromAwsManagedPolicyName() and
 * CloudFront policy imports that return construct-like objects without requiring
 * a scope parameter. These APIs predate modern CDK patterns and cannot be changed
 * without breaking existing customer code.
 *
 * DO NOT USE for new code. New APIs should require a scope parameter.
