AWS chatbot documentation change

Service: chatbot · 2025-08-01 · Documentation low

File: chatbot/latest/adminguide/slr-permissions.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'chat channels' to 'chat applications' throughout the document to reflect service rebranding/renaming. Added JSON code block formatting example (empty placeholder).

Security assessment

Changes are purely terminological updates (channels → applications) and formatting adjustments. No modifications to actual permissions, security controls, or vulnerability disclosures were made. The service-linked role (AWSServiceRoleForAWSChatbot) and its permissions remain unchanged.
