Describe the bug

When a model is named in a non pascal case fashion, i.e:

type randomItem @model {...}

And a function is configured to have access to this model table, the generated (snippet) code is incorrect:

backend.quotegenerator.addEnvironment("API_BACKENDONLY_RANDOMITEMTABLE_NAME", backend.data.resources.tables["Randomitem"].tableName);
backend.data.resources.tables["randomItem"].grant(backend.quotegenerator.resources.lambda, "dynamodb:Put*", "dynamodb:Create*", "dynamodb:BatchWriteItem", "dynamodb:PartiQLInsert", "dynamodb:Get*", "dynamodb:BatchGetItem", "dynamodb:List*", "dynamodb:Describe*", "dynamodb:Scan", "dynamodb:Query", "dynamodb:PartiQLSelect", "dynamodb:Update*", "dynamodb:RestoreTable*", "dynamodb:PartiQLUpdate", "dynamodb:Delete*", "dynamodb:PartiQLDelete");

Notice the value of the env variable is backend.data.resources.tables["Randomitem"].tableName, but our model is named randomitem. Also notice that the next line does actually use the correct casing:

backend.data.resources.tables["randomItem"].grant(...)

Deploying this code results in:

2026-01-28T22:48:01.995Z [INFO]: [BackendBuildError] Unable to deploy due to CDK Assembly Error
                                 ∟ Caused by: [AssemblyError] Assembly builder failed
                                 ∟ Caused by: [TypeError] Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'tableArn')

Expected behavior

backend.quotegenerator.addEnvironment("API_BACKENDONLY_RANDOMITEMTABLE_NAME", backend.data.resources.tables["randomitem"].tableName);
backend.data.resources.tables["randomItem"].grant(backend.quotegenerator.resources.lambda, "dynamodb:Put*", "dynamodb:Create*", "dynamodb:BatchWriteItem", "dynamodb:PartiQLInsert", "dynamodb:Get*", "dynamodb:BatchGetItem", "dynamodb:List*", "dynamodb:Describe*", "dynamodb:Scan", "dynamodb:Query", "dynamodb:PartiQLSelect", "dynamodb:Update*", "dynamodb:RestoreTable*", "dynamodb:PartiQLUpdate", "dynamodb:Delete*", "dynamodb:PartiQLDelete");

Reproduction steps

1. Add a non pascal named model name to your GraphQL schema:

type randomItem @model @auth(rules: [
  { allow: public, operations: [read] },
  { allow: owner, operations: [create, read, update, delete] }
]) {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  description: String
  images: [String]
  projectID: ID
}

2. Configure a function to have access to this model:
3. Run gen2-migration generate
4. Deploy the generated code.

This bug is for the case when the user has not used pascal case naming. Difficult to estimate impact, but potentially a lot. Triaging this as p1
