Summary

Updated console navigation steps and added detailed instructions for configuring task scale-in protection with expiration timers

Security assessment

The changes enhance documentation for managed termination protection features but show no evidence of addressing specific vulnerabilities. The added task scale-in protection configuration with expiration timers documents existing security controls rather than patching issues.
