How can we run Signed Powershell SSM Documents when ExecutionPolicy is set to AllSigned

Question

Hi

I've currently experiencing a bit of a road block with using SSM Documents using powershell.
- We Define the policy though a GPO on the user/computer level
- We have a CA which we use for Code Signing, we sign our Powershell scripts before they are allowed to run.
- The Publisher code signing cert has been trusted.

When I've tried to create a Powershell document using AWS SSM Document Manager - I have included the signature block in JSON which will end up as a file in **C:\ProgramData\Amazon\SSM\InstanceData\i-xyzxyzxyzxyz\document\orchestration\{run-command-id}\StepName\_script.ps1**

I then get a message that the Run-Command has failed with the message
**_script.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run this
script on the current system. For more information about running scripts and setting execution policy, see
about_Execution_Policies**

I've manually confirmed this file is identical to the script I initially wrote (before it became JSON and then a PS1 script)
And I have diffed the two files.
**Diff claims the files are identical (!)**
But I still can't run it without getting that message.

I've also tried running from an S3 bucket, but a _script file is still generated -- which in that case would not be signed.

It seems the only way I'm able to run Signed powershell scripts at the moment is by running them on the system in a remote desktop session and using a locally saved version.

Has anyone ever tried to accomplish this? Any success? 
I can't run any existing AWS Documents without signing them either

Found a solution (Well, CIO did, good on him)
The diff tools I was using sucked.

We tried WinMerge and made a JSON file from scratch, but instead of using

[ " write-host STUFF",
" write-host "MORESTUFF",
" ### SIGNATURE BLOCK STUFF ### ",
"" ]

I used 
 for CRLF's and "",s in place of ""

```
`
"runCommand": [
          "",
          "Write-Host Test
Write-Host Line2
Write-Host Line3
",
          "
# SIG # Begin signature block
# ABCDEFGHJIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
# etc etc

`
```

Don't forget to place your Certificate in TrustedPublishers as well, otherwise you'll get a 
**AuthorizationManager check failed.
+ CategoryInfo : SecurityError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess
failed to run commands: exit status 1**
