Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The guide now mounts NetBird state data under /var/lib/netbird, but its private-key protection guidance depends on the router’s actual disk mapping. The change is mergeable with owner awareness to verify the storage path and clarify the wording. Poem

Refer to NetBird state data, not a file.
/var/lib/netbird is a directory mount. “This file” can make readers think that only one file is stored there. Use wording that identifies the mounted state data and its private keys.
Suggested wording
-This file doesn't really change all that often so it's ok to put it there.
+This state data, including NetBird's private keys, changes infrequently. Keeping it on the router's built-in flash reduces the risk of exposing the keys if the USB drive is removed.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
