AWS drs documentation change
Summary
Added session token requirement for temporary credentials in Windows Agent installation and updated verb tenses for clarity
Security assessment
The addition of session token specification for temporary credentials improves documentation of secure credential handling practices, but there is no evidence this addresses a specific disclosed vulnerability. Other changes are grammatical improvements without security impact.
