AWS cli documentation change

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference from 2.34.25 to 2.34.28 and modified IAM role ARN pattern to include forward slash (/) in allowed characters for role names

Security assessment

The change updates a regex pattern for IAM role ARNs to allow forward slashes in role names, which is a feature update to support IAM role paths. This is not addressing a security vulnerability but rather expanding validation to support existing IAM functionality. No evidence of security incident remediation.
