Summary

Added documentation for AWS Transform chat feature with integrations (EBA, AWS Countdown Premium, Skill Builder) and read-only user restrictions.

Security assessment

The change documents access controls (read-only users cannot use chat) and support integrations, but there is no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability. The permission note qualifies as security documentation for feature behavior.

+## Chatting with AWS Transform
+
+AWS Transform chat is available at every stage of your project. To open the chat click the purple hexagonal icon in the lower right corner of the web console. 
+
+The chat is there for you to ask anything. For example, you can ask the chat to explain concepts, guide you through a process, explain a AWS Transform request or response, or explain a AWS Transform report. 
+
+###### Note
+
+Users with read-only permissions are unable to send messages in the chat.
+
+### AWS Transform chat integrations
+
+AWS Transform chat is integrated with:
+
+#### Experience-Based Acceleration
+
+[Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA)](https://aws.amazon.com/experience-based-acceleration/) is offered through AWS Transform chat. It enables you to perform EBA assessment for Windows workloads and generate a plan. You can start by either importing assessment results from CAST. It helps you discover your application portfolio, after which you can use AWS Transform chat to select applications that meet your business needs (example filtering applications based on complexity or lines of code). You can then perform deeper assessment of the selected application and generate a modernization plan.
+
+#### AWS Countdown Premium
+
+[AWS Countdown Premium](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/aws-countdown/) (CDP) integrated into AWS Transform provides sustained, expert guidance with designated AWS engineering support. Your designated CDP Engineer dives deep into your tech stack, providing personalized, context-aware support when issues arise. Users can leverage AWS Transform to log a support ticket directly from its chat interface. The support ticket embeds worklog and job plan details to help support understand the customer's context. If a customer or partner is part of the CDP Program, the support ticket automatically gets routed to the designated CDP Engineer who can help debug issues, interpret transformation outputs, and drive progress for expedited issue resolution. For example:
+
+  * For .NET workloads, CDP can assist with repository connector issues, dependency resolution, and post-transformation deployment.
+
+  * In mainframe scenarios, CDP can help troubleshoot refactored Java code, configure database migration tools, and build CI/CD pipelines.
+
+  * In VMware migrations, CDP can accelerate network configuration, Application Migration Service setup, and agent installation.
+
+
+
+
+#### AWS Skill Builder
+
+[AWS Skill Builder](https://skillbuilder.aws/) provides relevant learning modules through the chat. You can ask AWS Transform chat about your learning needs, and it presents you relevant course catalog. Skill Builder delivers contextual micro-learning experiences as you work through transformation stages.
