-- Gradle plugin: `toCamelCase` conversion now fully lowercases each word before capitalising
-  the first letter, so ALL_CAPS flag keys produce correct camelCase names.

+- `FirebaseConfigValueProvider` now implements `InitializableConfigValueProvider`: `initialize()`
+  calls `FirebaseRemoteConfig.ensureInitialized()` to warm the on-disk cache (activated, fetched,
+  and defaults) into memory without a network fetch. As a result `ConfigValues.initialize()` makes
+  previously persisted Remote Config values readable via `get()` immediately at app start, before
+  the first `fetch()`. It does not activate fetched-but-unactivated config. (#163)

+- The firebase provider's `FetchException` is renamed to `FirebaseConfigException`. Since the type
