Summary

Updated template selection instructions and clarified resource creation behavior for 'Build on it' option. Added explicit billing note about service charges.

Security assessment

Changes focus on UI workflow clarification and resource creation transparency. No security vulnerabilities, configurations, or features are mentioned. The note about resources not being automatically created relates to operational awareness rather than security controls.
