Summary

Updated documentation to reflect rebranding from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the file, including client references and API action names

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/terminology updates (AppStream 2.0 → WorkSpaces Applications) without any security-related content modifications. No vulnerabilities, security controls, or security features are mentioned or added. The operational workflow for session redirection remains unchanged except for naming.
