File: aurora-dsql/latest/userguide/getting-started-query-editor.md

Summary

Minor wording updates and clarifications throughout the document, including changing 'execute' to 'run', 'does not' to 'doesn't', and adding more descriptive link texts. Clarifies that Query Editor doesn't support clusters with blocked public access or VPC endpoints.

Security assessment

Changes are editorial improvements without addressing vulnerabilities. The mention of public access restrictions is a clarification of existing limitations, not a new security feature or vulnerability fix.
