Summary

Clarified validation failure delay logic and added documentation about CDC latency precedence

Security assessment

Improves documentation around validation timing mechanisms but does not address security vulnerabilities or introduce security features

-  * `RecordFailureDelayLimitInMinutes` – Specifies the delay before reporting any validation failure details. Normally, AWS DMS uses the task latency to recognize actual delay for changes to make it to the target in order to prevent false positives. This setting overrides the actual delay value and enables you to set a higher delay before reporting any validation metrics. The default value is 0.
+If overall DMS Task CDC latency is greater than the value of `RecordFailureDelayInMinutesthen` it takes the precedence, for example, if `RecordFailureDelayInMinutes` is 5, and CDC Latency is 7 mins then DMS waits 7 minutes to report the validation failure details.
