The runpodctl install script now verifies the downloaded release against its SHA-256 checksum before installing (runpod/runpodctl PR #303), which requires sha256sum (Linux) or shasum (macOS) to be present and fails closed if neither is found. Adds a short note to the "Install script" tab of the runpodctl overview so users on minimal images understand the requirement.

(Line 44)

PR #303 added SHA-256 checksum verification to install.sh before extraction; its calculate_sha256 helper uses sha256sum or shasum and fails closed with "No SHA-256 checksum tool found" when neither is present, and the new header requirement notes sha256sum on Linux or shasum on macOS. This note documents that new prerequisite.
