This looks much better.

L85 adds the word "security" which I don't think was in the previous 
iteration. Do mean the signature related files detailed in the "Signed 
JAR File" section? If so then they apply to modular JAR files too. The 
simplest might be to just drop the word "security" from the sentence.

L91-95 - This could link to ModuleFinder.of(Path...) so that it can 
avoid the details as to how the module name and packages are derived.

L177 still has "A non-exported public or protected class". Did you 
consider changing this to "A public or protected class in a non-exported 
package"?
