AWS step-functions documentation change

Service: step-functions · 2025-11-19 · Documentation low

File: step-functions/latest/dg/tutorial-human-approval.md

Summary

Updated documentation to use 'CloudFormation' instead of 'AWS CloudFormation' throughout the document for terminology consistency

Security assessment

Changes are purely branding/terminology updates (removing redundant 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references). No security-related content was added, modified, or removed. The IAM resource creation acknowledgment remains unchanged in substance.
