Summary

Editorial improvements including grammatical corrections, tense consistency fixes, image removals, and UI text simplifications in recovery dashboard documentation

Security assessment

Changes focus on grammatical improvements (e.g., changing 'will be blank' to 'is blank'), tense consistency, and image removals. No security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or security feature enhancements are mentioned. The modifications to stalled state descriptions and replication status explanations improve clarity but don't address security aspects. CloudTrail reference remains unchanged in security context.
