AWS chatbot documentation change

Service: chatbot · 2025-05-31 · Documentation low

File: chatbot/latest/adminguide/related-services.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently use 'Amazon Q Developer in chat channels' instead of 'Amazon Q Developer' throughout the file, clarifying the chat channel context for service integrations

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/terminology updates to specify 'in chat channels' context. There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or adding new security features. The modifications focus on clarifying service naming rather than security-related content.
