## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Documentation**
- Added guidance to install PostGIS in a dedicated schema rather than
`public`.
- Clarified that installing PostGIS in `public` exposes the
`spatial_ref_sys` table through the Data API.
- Explained that related security advisor warnings are expected and do
not indicate user data exposure.
- Added steps for moving PostGIS to another schema, including backup
precautions and an option to contact Support.
