Installation Notes

To add additional certificates, place .pem files in
  $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/openssl@3/certs

and run
  $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/openssl@3/bin/c_rehash

OpenSSL 3.6 is only supported until 2026-11-01 so the `openssl@3`
formula will be downgraded to OpenSSL 3.5 (LTS) in a future update.
