- Around line 16-18: Update the ML-KEM request documentation around
CRMFPopClient to state that POP_NONE is used by default when no POP option is
specified, rather than implying it is always selected; preserve the explanation
that requests generated with this default contain no Proof of Possession.

Describe POP_NONE as the default, not as an unconditional selection.
At Line 16, CRMFPopClient selects POP_NONE only when no POP option is specified. Explicit -q POP_SUCCESS and -q POP_FAIL take different branches and attempt POP processing. Therefore, the current wording can mislead users about the resulting request.
Use conditional wording such as “by default” and “with this default” for the no-POP statement.
Proposed wording
