Two small, low-risk additions to
docs/name-owners/tls/index.md:Prerequisites: short parenthetical noting that
generate_nmc_certhas been renamed toncgencert(and that the Hashed-mode examples on this page already usencgencert). Avoids confusion for readers landing on the page after seeing the recentgenerate_nmc_cert is now ncgencertpost but before the download/betas page is updated.Concepts: new "Mental Model: What's Pinned vs. What's Local" subsection. Calls out explicitly that only the CA public key hits the chain, that leaf rotation is a no-tx operation, and that one CA can sign many leaves (one per server). The page already states these facts in passing throughout the examples; making them upfront removes a common point of confusion for new name owners.
No tooling, links, or anchors change. No examples are rewritten.
