Gidgetimer on Spectra Ward

I am going to add a scenario 6 and 7 and then answer all of them. I am also going to use an explanation for 3 and 4 that is different from 5-7 despite both reasons being valid explanations just in case there is still contention.
6 Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice on battlefield. Cast Spectra Ward targeting Lightpaws. Fetch Holy Strength and attach it to Lightpaws. What happens?
7 Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice enchanted with Spectra Ward and All That Glitters on battlefield. Cast Spirit Mantle targeting Eager Cadet. Fetch Holy Strength and attach it to Lightpaws. What happens?
-
Can not cast spell because protection prevents Holy Strength from targeting.
-
Can not cast spell because protection prevents Aura Finesse from targeting.
-
Auras are attached at same time, so Spectra Ward's protection doesn't matter. And both auras stay attached.
-
Auras are attached at same time, so Spectra Ward's protection doesn't matter. And both auras stay attached.
-
Because the protection from Spectra Ward doesn't remove auras and you are not targeting, you are able to move both auras in that order and both stay attached.
-
Because the protection from Spectra Ward doesn't remove auras and you are not targeting, you are able to attach Holy Strength and it stay attached.

How about some specific scenarios? From basic to advanced:
-
I have Eager Cadet enchanted with Spectra Ward. I cast Holy Strength targeting Eager Cadet. What happens?
-
I have Eager Cadet enchanted with Spectra Ward and Glory Seeker enchanted with Holy Strength. I cast Aura Finesse to move the Holy Strength to Eager Cadet. What happens?
-
I have Eager Cadet enchanted with Spectra Ward, Glory Seeker enchanted with Holy Strength, and Bruna, Light of Alabaster. I attack with Bruna, and move Spectra Ward and Holy Strength onto her. What happens?
-
Opponent casts Warp World. I reveal Eager Cadet, Spectra Ward, and Holy Strength. I put down the Eager Cadet, then put Spectra Ward and Holy Strength on it as Warp World resolves. What happens?

But I see one flaw with that theory. An aura's target must be chosen on the stack, so this can't happen naturally for Clever Impersonator, as it is not an Aura spell. If you're lighting quick, I think you can hit it with Aura Finesse before state-based tosses it into the boneyard, as several cards seem to be able to do all kinds of song and dance before the rules set in. Hope that works. The rules text on gatherer even says you don't have to target a legal aura as you cast it, so if state-based actions are working against you, you could always target the aura that's about to be there, making it illegal on cast, but legal on resolution.
