Summary

Updated documentation headings and descriptions to clarify interaction with AWS Control Tower accounts through Service Catalog, including added references to Service Catalog APIs for programmatic provisioning.

Security assessment

The changes focus on improving clarity about account provisioning workflows and automation methods (e.g., adding Service Catalog APIs as an option). There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, access control changes, or security best practices. The updates are procedural/terminology improvements rather than security-related.
