Research direction

Start with the linked CodePipelineSource.connection API documentation and locate the text describing the required connection. Update the wording to refer to AWS CodeConnections rather than a CodeStar connection, then verify the generated documentation no longer uses the confusing deprecated term.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

@aws-cdk/pipelines documentation effort/large feature-request p2
Describe the issue

Documentation for CodePipelineSource.connection says:

To use this method, you first need to create a CodeStar connection using the AWS console

The term "CodeStar connection" is confusing, since AWS CodeStar is now deprecated.

On July 31, 2024, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will discontinue support for creating and viewing AWS CodeStar projects.

However, what is needed is now under AWS CodeConnections (ref)

AWS is renaming AWS CodeStar Connections to AWS CodeConnections.
