How do people define "rigidly attached" for a light fixture above a hot tub? 680.22 B3

Is a pendant that hangs from a flexible cord rigidly attached provided it had a proper canopy and fixture box?

Not IMO. The fixture/box would need to be securely fastened directly a building, not a cord pendant. Maybe a RMC pendant could be allowed.
