File: opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/gsg-serverless-cli.md

Summary

Editorial updates including grammar corrections, terminology fixes (e.g., 'connection' to 'collection'), and instructional phrasing changes from first-person to second-person perspective.

Security assessment

The changes are purely editorial and grammatical (typo fixes, wording improvements). No security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or incident responses are addressed. The existing security guidance (encryption policies, least privilege) remains unchanged.
