AWS amazonq documentation change
Summary
Restructured documentation about Amazon Q Developer tiers with added authentication method matrices for Pro and Free tiers, including IAM credential support in Free tier
Security assessment
The changes clarify authentication methods (Builder ID, IAM Identity Center, IAM credentials) and access controls across interfaces, but do not address specific vulnerabilities or security incidents. The documentation update focuses on feature availability rather than patching security issues.
