Summary

Added documentation for 'Recovery point indexing events' including state examples (ACTIVE, DELETED, FAILED) and detailed event payload structures

Security assessment

The change documents new event types related to recovery point indexing status. While this improves operational visibility and could help monitor backup integrity, there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. The documentation addition relates to security features by enabling monitoring of backup index states.
