Please attach a demo video recording if the module works in Coder. Ideally should show all supported frameworks.

- Applied Prettier formatting to README.md and shell scripts
- Applied Terraform formatting to .tf files
- Resolved CI formatting validation errors
- All files now pass formatting checks
