AWS resource-explorer documentation change
Summary
Announced immediate access to Resource Explorer without activation, clarified command output details, and updated policy example version placeholder.
Security assessment
The changes include a feature announcement (immediate access) and documentation clarifications. The policy example's version field was changed from a valid policy version (2012-10-17) to a placeholder (YYYY-MM-DD), which could lead to misconfiguration if users copy it without correction. However, there is no explicit evidence in the diff that this addresses a security vulnerability or incident. The immediate access feature may impact security posture but is not framed as a security fix.
