Pull request overview
Adds a new “Generated Client Usage” section to the project README to document how consumers should add dependencies, instantiate generated clients, handle errors, and configure serialization when using the Gradle plugin’s generated Ktor clients.
Changes:
- Document runtime dependencies and client instantiation patterns.
- Add sections for authentication, request/response handling, error handling, and serialization setup.
- Include an example for multi-spec Gradle configuration.

Fix inaccuracies in generated client documentation to match actual code: use tag-derived class names (PetsApi), Bearer-only auth, Raise-based error handling, HttpErrorType enum, and correct JSON config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The Arrow dependency version in this snippet (arrow-core:2.1.2) is inconsistent with the versions used in this repo’s own consumer examples/functional tests (arrow-core:2.2.1.1). To keep the README example buildable and aligned with what’s tested, update the version here (or omit explicit versions and recommend using the project’s version catalog/BOM).

| ### Authentication | ||
|
|
||
| The generated constructor always takes a `baseUrl: String` and a `token: () -> String` parameter. The `token` lambda is called on each request and its value is sent as a `Bearer` token in the `Authorization` header: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| val client = PetsApi( | ||
| baseUrl = "https://api.example.com", | ||
| token = { "your-bearer-token" }, | ||
| ) |

PR description says this adds constructor/auth patterns for Bearer, API Key, Basic, and no-auth, but the added README text documents only a single constructor shape (baseUrl + token) and only Bearer auth. Either expand this section to cover the additional auth patterns or adjust the PR description to match the actual documentation change.
| ### Error Handling | ||
|
|
||
| Generated endpoints use [Arrow's Raise](https://arrow-kt.io/docs/typed-errors/) -- errors are raised, not returned as `Either`. Use Arrow's `either { ... }` block to obtain an `Either<HttpError, HttpSuccess<T>>`: | ||
|
|
||
| ```kotlin | ||
| val result: Either<HttpError, HttpSuccess<Pet>> = either { | ||
| client.getPet(petId = 123) | ||
| } |

PR description mentions an "HttpResult/Either error handling guide", but the README only documents obtaining an Either via either { ... } and doesn’t mention HttpResult anywhere. Please either add the missing HttpResult documentation or update the PR description to avoid implying it was added.
