139-139: Documentation flow improved for clarity and completeness.

The restructured installation steps now follow a clear, sequential pattern (First → Then → Finally + Sync) that guides users through the complete plugin setup process. Separating the root build.gradle.kts configuration (with apply false) from the module-specific application, followed by an explicit sync reminder, makes the setup flow more intuitive and less error-prone. The code examples are syntactically correct and align with standard Gradle plugin patterns.

Also applies to: 145-151, 156-156
