Clarify exported filename and replacement step in footer #25

Description

What problem does this solve in your TCC permission workflow?
The current export flow explains that a modified copy is downloaded, but it does not clearly call out that the exported file uses a _modified suffix. That can create confusion during the manual replace/copy step.

What behaviour do you want?
Update the footer / notice text to explicitly mention that exported files are saved with a _modified.db suffix.

Also clarify what the user should do next:

  • if using terminal copy commands, they can copy the exported file directly to the target TCC.db path
  • if manually replacing/renaming files in Finder, they may need to rename the file back to TCC.db first

Why does this fit a local macOS TCC editor instead of a system tool or third-party service?
This is a small but important UX clarification in the local file workflow that Clearance already supports.

Scope check
Please confirm this request fits the project scope in CONTRIBUTING.md: local file workflow, no network dependency, and no writes to system TCC files.

Additional context
The app already exports with _modified.db; this issue is specifically about making that behavior more obvious in the UI near the export/apply action.
