Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only install instructions; no product or security code changes.

Overview
Switches macOS Homebrew docs so the default install is the redis formula (brew install redis / brew services), not the Redis cask.

The full Homebrew guide now treats the formula as preferred, with upgrade steps for existing formula installs (merge redis.conf.default so modules load) and migration from the cask (uninstall, untap, remove leftover config). The cask path remains as an alternative, including brew trust redis/redis on Homebrew 6+. Quick-start on the install overview matches the new commands.

Approved. Feel free to ignore my pedantry - we might just be drifting towards this style of writing by default in the Claude era :-)
