AWS polly: Clarify Polly CloudWatch 4XX/5XX metric descriptions

Service: polly · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: polly/latest/dg/doc-history.md · Type: logging

Summary

Added a doc-history entry clarifying that 4XXCount reflects client-side errors and 5XXCount reflects server-side errors in Amazon Polly CloudWatch metrics.

Security assessment

Clarifies error metric semantics for monitoring; tangentially related to observability/logging but not a security feature or vulnerability fix.
