README: the modemst wipe is 'fastboot flash boot', precisely

Browse source 
Isolated by experiment (2026-08-09, journal/modem): flash boot alone
zeroes modem NV; erase dtbo and idle fastboot visits are safe; on-device
boot-deploy (incl. apk kernel upgrades) never trips it. Likely ABL
anti-tamper on boot-image overwrite under an unlocked bootloader.
