docs: clarify that process exclusions affect working sets only

 | **Global Hotkey** | Trigger an optimization instantly from anywhere with a customizable hotkey (default `CTRL+SHIFT+M`). |
 | **Hotkey Toggle** | Enable or disable the global optimization hotkey independently. |
 | **Multi-Language Support** | Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian. |
-| **Process Exclusion List** | Build a list of processes to ignore during memory optimization, protecting critical applications. |
+| **Working Set Exclusions** | Exclusions skip only per-process working-set trimming; other selected global memory cleanups and automatic optimization remain unaffected. |
 | **Run on Low Priority** | Limits the app's resource usage by reducing its process priority. This may increase optimization time but can prevent system freezes. |
 | **Run on Startup** | Automatically starts the application when Windows boots by creating a task in the Windows Task Scheduler. |
 | **Show Optimization Notifications** | Display system tray notifications after each optimization, showing the reason and amount of memory freed. |
