144-146: Clear and actionable guidance improvement.

The reworded guidance is more explicit and precise:

• Line 144 strengthens the directive with bold "Do not" and emphasizes the specific risk (manually trusting Apple-issued certificates)
• Line 146 improves clarity by specifying "certificate issued by Apple" rather than the generic term "signing certificate"

These changes align with Apple's security best practices for System keychain management and make the guidance more actionable for users.
