Summary

Restructured deployment instructions to recommend AWS Launch Wizard as primary method, removed CloudFormation deployment steps, added data collection notice, and reorganized content sections.

Security assessment

No security vulnerabilities or weaknesses are addressed. Changes focus on deployment methodology and user experience improvements. The added data collection notice is a privacy disclosure, not a security feature or vulnerability fix.
