AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'protection pack or web ACL' to 'protection pack (web ACL)' throughout the document to clarify terminology consistency. Changed references to downloading/viewing protection packs/web ACLs in JSON format with updated parenthetical notation.
Security assessment
The changes are purely terminological clarifications (changing 'or' to parenthetical notation) and UI label updates. There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities or introducing new security features. The updates focus on documentation consistency and user guidance for existing functionality.
