Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Clarify text formatting instruction per review feedback

Updated the text formatting standard to explicitly state that the final
line must be non-empty and terminated with a single linefeed, leaving no
trailing blank lines. This clarification addresses potential ambiguity
in the previous wording.
