Summary

Updated API Gateway documentation with new features including OpenAPI validation, dependency injection support, and enhanced route configuration with status_code parameter. Added documentation for Lambda Features section and updated source code examples.

Security assessment

The changes are primarily feature enhancements and documentation updates. There's no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities.

The security-related aspects (like CORS configuration and security schemes) were already present and only received minor updates. No security patches or vulnerability fixes are indicated in the diff.
