File: waf/latest/developerguide/waf-rule-statements-match.md

Summary

Added console announcement, updated WCU terminology, and modified label match statement description to include 'protection pack' references

Security assessment

Changes focus on UI improvements and expanding scope to include 'protection pack' terminology. The label match statement update broadens context but doesn't indicate security fixes or introduce security features. No evidence of vulnerability remediation.
