AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation about Matter protocol benefits - added details about Matter 1.4.1 features (Enhanced Setup Flow, Multi-Device QR Codes, NFC onboarding), expanded device type list, and Enhanced Multi-Admin feature for voice assistants
Security assessment
Changes focus on usability improvements and expanded compatibility rather than security. While NFC onboarding and QR codes have security implications, the documentation doesn't explicitly mention security aspects of these features. The Enhanced Multi-Admin feature relates to convenience rather than security controls.
