Summary

Added explicit warning banner about irreversible certificate deletion and rephrased quota explanation

Security assessment

The new warning emphasizes operational security consequences of certificate deletion but doesn't address a specific vulnerability. The change improves visibility of security-related operational risks (potential service disruption) rather than patching a security flaw.
