Pull request overview
This PR removes automatic CloudFormation exports from SsmParametersConstruct, shifting responsibility for exports to higher-level stacks/constructs rather than doing it by default within the construct.
Changes:
- Removed
CfnOutputexports for individual parameter names and the managed policy ARN fromSsmParametersConstruct. - Updated the construct tests to stop asserting exported outputs and instead assert created resources/default policy description.

| packages/cdkConstructs/tests/constructs/ssmParametersConstruct.test.ts | Removes tests asserting exports and updates a defaults test to assert resources/policy description instead. |

Summary
Details
The export of a parameter is not needed in all cases - it should be handled higher up the hierarchy, rather than doing it by default at the construct level every time.
