fix: replace dangerous txtx install instructions with official docs#6
Conversation
Changed `cargo install txtx` to official install methods to prevent supply chain attacks. The txtx package name on crates.io is unclaimed and could be hijacked by attackers. - justfile: direct users to https://docs.txtx.sh/install - CI: use official curl install script instead of cargo install

Summary
cargo install txtxcommand which pointed to unclaimed crates.io package (supply chain attack vector)justfileto reference official txtx documentation at https://docs.txtx.sh/installcurl -sL https://install.txtx.sh/ | bash)~/.txtxinstead of cargo directoriesBackground
The real txtx tool (from txtx.sh) is NOT published on crates.io. The crates.io package name "txtx" was unclaimed, making it a supply chain vulnerability. Users following the old instructions would have installed an attacker-controlled package if someone had claimed the name.
