Description

I checked `--help` prior to installing and ran the install.sh script with the `--no-modify-path` flag which produced the following warning about that flag being deprecated:
```
$ ./install.sh -v --no-modify-path
--no-modify-path has been deprecated; please set UV_NO_MODIFY_PATH=1 in the environment
downloading uv 0.5.25 aarch64-apple-darwin
from https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.5.25/uv-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
to /var/folders/j4/938xc6yx00v6kfjv8nzfb0v80000gs/T/tmp.p5NwOasNJk/input.tar.gz
no checksums to verify
installing to /path/to/.local/bin
uv
uvx
everything's installed!
```

Should the `--help` contents be updated to reflect the change?

**Platform**

Research direction

Start with install.sh and inspect the --help output alongside the handling of --no-modify-path. Confirm whether the help text still advertises the deprecated flag, then verify the updated help and installation behavior on the documented macOS setup.
