I agree with both of your points. It is very clear to me as a native

Interestingly, the change here:
- const char *explanation = _("Do not touch the line above.\nEverything below will be removed.");
+ const char *explanation = _("Do not edit the line above.\nEverything below will be removed.");
actually seems less clear to me. I think of "edit" as "modify". But
obviously it also should not be removed. Perhaps
Do not modify or remove the line above.
would be the most clear. Or perhaps it is overly verbose.
Seems to be a valid point. Further, it doesn't seem to be too verbose at
least to me. So, I'll change the
sentence and revert back to the one I use if someone finds it to be verbose.
