Requested by Michael Herrman · Slack thread

Before: the AWS export-pipeline setup pages (Redshift Spectrum, legacy schematized AWS, S3) document the IAM Glue permissions but never mention AWS Lake Formation. A customer whose Glue Data Catalog is governed by Lake Formation follows the IAM steps, gets those right, and exports still silently fail.

After: each of those pages carries a callout: if your catalog is Lake-Formation-governed, IAM alone isn't enough and you must also grant the Mixpanel role Lake Formation permissions (CREATE_TABLE on the database + a Data location grant on the registered S3 path), at the database level so a recreated table keeps working.

How: added a <Warning>/<Note> callout to redshift-spectrum.mdx and old-pipelines/integrations/schematized-aws-pipeline.mdx, and a one-line cross-reference <Note> to aws-s3.mdx. Prompted by RUN-337, where a dropped-and-recreated Glue table lost its Lake Formation grants and exports failed while the pipeline showed as active.
