add user warning to the readme file

[mrsarthi]

Description

Added a warning to the README.md to clarify that this project is a monorepo. New contributors often try running npm install in the root directory, which fails. This update explicitly instructs users to navigate into client/ or blockchain/ before installing dependencies.

Poem

A monorepo maze, now clearly signed,
The root holds secrets, the folders unwind,
Install not here, but venture down deep,
To client and blockchain, where packages sleep! 🐰✨

85-85: Documentation update is clear and well-placed.

The warning effectively communicates the monorepo structure constraint and prevents new contributors from making the common mistake of running npm install in the root directory. The placement immediately after the npm install command in the Backend section is ideal, and the Backend pattern reinforces the same behavior for the Frontend section (where contributors already see cd client before the equivalent command).

The wording is direct and actionable: "You must navigate into client/ or blockchain/ before running installation commands. Do not run npm install in the root directory."
