AWS marketplace documentation change
Summary
Expanded notification documentation to include chatbot options and AWS User Notifications integration. Added details about custom event routing, delivery channels (email/chat), and configuration examples for agreement expiration alerts.
Security assessment
The changes enhance operational awareness for marketplace events but don't address security vulnerabilities. The added notification features improve operational reliability for financial/contract events (e.g., agreement expirations) but lack explicit security context like threat detection or access control alerts. No evidence of security incident remediation.
