Summary

Fixes #4842 — in v9.2+ and serverless, behavioral detections no longer apply to trusted applications. This improves performance.

This PR updates two pages related to this functionality.

  • @gabriellandau, please review both pages for accuracy and clarity!
  • Docs reviewers, please let me know if you think the content in the {applies-switch} component needs a heading, or if it works as-is.

Thanks!

We changed this in 9.2.5, but 9.2.4 still uses the old behavior. Can we clarify this?

We normally document the latest minor version, with the assumption that if people are on a given minor version, they're probably on the latest patch. Does that work in this case?

Is that documented anywhere for users? A user on 9.2.4 going to the 9.2 docs could easily think that the documented behavior applies to them.
