AWS quick documentation change
Summary
Added public app publishing feature with access levels (Limited/Account/Public), usage monitoring, and security restrictions for public apps.
Security assessment
Documentation now includes security controls for public apps: 1) Explicit limitations on sensitive features (action connectors/embedded content) 2) Usage monitoring requirements 3) Immediate revocation capability. This documents security features rather than fixing vulnerabilities.
