Summary

Updated terminology capitalization from 'stack set' to 'StackSet' and minor phrasing adjustments

Security assessment

Changes involve terminology standardization (capitalization of StackSet) and minor phrasing improvements. No security vulnerabilities or new security features are addressed. The mention of metadata retention in disabled Regions is existing security consideration documentation, not a new addition.
