Answer 1

I was facing the same error, in my case a nodejs function, I was adding one context key as array.

{
  policyDocument: {
  Version: '2012-10-17',
  Statement: [{
    Action: 'execute-api:Invoke',
    Effect: effect,
    Resource: `${arn.split('/').slice(0, 2).join('/')}/*`,
  }],
},
context: {
  roles: ['admin']
}

As doc says:

You can access the stringKey, numberKey, or booleanKey value (for example, "value", "1", or "true") of the context map in a mapping template by calling $context.authorizer.stringKey, $context.authorizer.numberKey, or $context.authorizer.booleanKey, respectively. The returned values are all stringified. Notice that you cannot set a JSON object or array as a valid value of any key in the context map.

Remove the role key and it's working.
