Poem

🐰 I hopped through docs to add a sign,
A cautious line where readers dine,
A dash removed, a note in place,
Clarity found in README space. 🥕

This commit corrects a minor layout issue in the `README.md` file by repositioning a closing `</div>` tag. The tag was incorrectly placed after a caution block, and it has been moved to its proper location to ensure the intended page structure.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Replace the non-descriptive [LINK] anchor text with something meaningful.

markdownlint (MD059) flags [LINK] as non-descriptive. Additionally, the statement "Google will turn Android into a locked-down platform" asserts a certainty, while the PR title itself says "potential lockdown" — aligning the wording with the actual state of the campaign (an ongoing threat, not a concluded outcome) would be more accurate.
