Research direction

Start by locating CyberChef's Base64 encoding and decoding operations and the list of available alphabets. Add the AWS alphabet described in the issue, then verify that both encoding and decoding support the A-Za-z0-9-~_ characters and that the existing Base64 behavior remains intact.
