AWS cli: GovCloud availability note for GetMetricWidgetImage + CLI version bump

Service: cli · 2026-10-20 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/cloudwatch/get-metric-widget-image.md

Summary

Adds a note that the GetMetricWidgetImage operation is unavailable in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and fails there, plus a boilerplate AWS CLI version bump from 2.38.1 to 2.38.2 in the header/footer links.

Security assessment

The change is a regional feature-availability note (service does not exist in GovCloud) plus a documentation version bump. It describes a functional limitation, not a vulnerability, credential, encryption, or access-control change.
