AWS network-firewall documentation change
Summary
Updated propagation time for firewall changes from 'seconds' to 'minutes' to reflect actual behavior
Security assessment
The change clarifies the expected propagation time but does not address a specific security vulnerability. While longer propagation times could theoretically extend inconsistency windows, this is a documentation accuracy update rather than a security fix.
