aws-cdk-lib: DynamoAttributeValue.booleanFromJsonPath synthesizes incorrectly

[klaframboise]

Describe the bug

DynamoAttributeValue.booleanFromJsonPath synthesizes to invalid CloudFormation template. Attempting to deploy code that includes DynamoAttributeValue.booleanFromJsonPath results in the following error:

Resource handler returned message: "Invalid State Machine Definition: 'SCHEMA_VALIDATION_FAILED: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.lang.Boolean` from String "$.inputValue": only "true" or "false" recognized at /States/PutItemWithBooleanFromJsonPath
/Parameters' (Service: AWSStepFunctions; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidDefinition; Request ID: 4c7586b2-e138-49ed-9e3c-fe39f47658c1; Proxy: null)" (RequestToken: 25db2a45-bbb6-4977-aa96-0a46f77d25c2, HandlerErrorCode: InvalidRequest)

You checked the potential regression issue checkbox, can you specify Last Known Working CDK Version as well? It would be very helpful to help us identify if it's a regression and take actions for that. Thank you.

Also I noticed the provided link is having empty code.

https://github.com/klaframboise/cdk-booleanFromJsonPath-issue/blob/448364b680f9cd396d0adb22bd7d9b577256c8ba/lib/boolean_from_json_path_issue-stack.ts#L5-L16

Are you able to provide minimal reproducible code snippets for us? Thank you.

Sorry about the missing code in the sample, it should be fixed now: https://github.com/klaframboise/cdk-booleanFromJsonPath-issue/blob/main/lib/boolean_from_json_path_issue-stack.ts

I've checked the regression box because I guess the alternative is that it was implemented but it never worked given how simple it is to repro... but I'll uncheck it since I don't know when it was last working, this is my first time trying it.
