Generic: Comprehensive Audit Trails

Objective: To create a detailed and reliable record of critical system actions for security analysis
and compliance.

Status:
No audit logs: The added documentation and Gradle properties introduce new build commands and
integrations without indicating any audit logging of critical actions, but as this PR
primarily adds docs/config, logging may be handled elsewhere.

### "gradle is not recognized"

**Problem:** Gradle not in PATH

**Solutions:**
1. Use full path: `C:\Gradle\bin\gradle tasks`
2. Add to PATH (see above)
3. Create alias (see above)

### "Cannot find path"

**Problem:** Wrong directory

**Solution:**
```powershell
cd D:\Bearsampp-dev\dev
C:\Gradle\bin\gradle tasks

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

CategorySuggestion                                                                                                                                    Impact
High-level
Adopt the Gradle Wrapper for portability

The current build process depends on a hardcoded local Gradle installation
(C:\Gradle\bin), making it non-portable. It is suggested to adopt the standard
Gradle Wrapper (gradlew) to ensure reproducible builds across different
environments without manual setup.

Examples:

HOW_TO_USE_GRADLE.md [5-18] 
Gradle is installed at `C:\Gradle\bin` but is **NOT in your PATH**.

## Two Options

### Option 1: Use Full Path (Works Now)

Use the full path to gradle.bat:

```powershell
C:\Gradle\bin\gradle tasks

 ... (clipped 4 lines)
README_GRADLE.md [5-13] 
The Bearsampp Development Kit now uses **Gradle 9.2.0** from your local installation at `C:\Gradle\bin` with full backward compatibility with Apache Ant.

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- ✓ Gradle 9.2.0 installed at `C:\Gradle\bin`
- ✓ Java 11+ (you have Java 23.0.2)
- ✓ Gradle added to System PATH

Solution Walkthrough:

Before:

// In documentation files like HOW_TO_USE_GRADLE.md

# Current Situation
Gradle is installed at `C:\Gradle\bin` but is NOT in your PATH.

# Option 1: Use Full Path
C:\Gradle\bin\gradle tasks
C:\Gradle\bin\gradle info

# Option 2: Add to PATH (Permanent Solution)
1. Run PowerShell as Administrator
2. Run the setup script `.\add-gradle-to-path.ps1`
3. Restart PowerShell

After:

// In a simplified README.md

# How to build
The project uses the Gradle Wrapper, which requires no manual installation.

# Prerequisites
- Java 11+

# Build the project
# On Windows:
./gradlew.bat build

# On Linux/macOS:
./gradlew build
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 10

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a critical design flaw—relying on a hardcoded local Gradle installation—and proposes the industry-standard Gradle Wrapper, which is essential for build portability and reproducibility.

High
General
Correct a misleading performance setting

Set org.gradle.configureondemand to true and update its comment to correctly
reflect that this setting improves performance for multi-project builds.

gradle.properties [18-19]

-# Enable configuration on demand (faster for multi-project builds)
-org.gradle.configureondemand=false
+# Enable configuration on demand for potentially faster multi-project builds.
+# Gradle will only configure projects relevant to the requested tasks.
+org.gradle.configureondemand=true

[Suggestion processed]

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a misleading comment and a suboptimal performance setting, proposing a change that aligns with Gradle's documentation and improves build performance.

Medium
Avoid hardcoding paths in documentation

Replace hardcoded absolute paths in the documentation with placeholders or
environment variables to make the instructions more portable and universally
applicable.

HOW_TO_USE_GRADLE.md [5-24]

-Gradle is installed at `C:\Gradle\bin` but is **NOT in your PATH**.
+This guide assumes Gradle is installed in a known location (e.g., `C:\Gradle`) and the project is at `D:\Bearsampp-dev\dev`. Please adjust the paths in the examples to match your local setup. For a more portable setup, consider using environment variables like `%GRADLE_HOME%` and `%PROJECT_HOME%`.
+
 ...
-Use the full path to gradle.bat:
+
+Use the full path to your gradle executable. For example, if Gradle is in `C:\Gradle\bin`:
 
 ```powershell
 C:\Gradle\bin\gradle tasks
 C:\Gradle\bin\gradle info
 C:\Gradle\bin\gradle verify
 C:\Gradle\bin\gradle release

Example:

-cd D:\Bearsampp-dev\dev
+# Navigate to your project directory first
+cd path\to\your\project
+# Then run the Gradle command
C:\Gradle\bin\gradle info



`[To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually]`


<details><summary>Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6</summary>

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out that hardcoded paths in the documentation harm portability and usability, and the proposed change makes the guide more generic and helpful for other developers.
