docs: enumerate the 14 curtain thread-forming screws in the Build Guide
The steps previously showed only 7 of the 14 explicitly. Clarify Step 3 as four side screws PER carriage (eight total) plus the 1 + 2 carriage-top screws (which become the rope clamp/tension screws), and add a running tally: 2 (long tubes) + 1 (pulley) + 8 (carriage sides) + 3 (carriage tops) = 14, + 8 body = 22. Matches the owner-confirmed count and the BOM. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Then add the **top screws that tell the two carriages apart — one on the first carriage, two on the second** (**three total**); these become the rope clamp/tension screws later (see [Rope routing and tensioning](#rope-routing-and-tensioning)).

With the **8** in the motor body, a full build uses **22** — matching the [Bill of Materials](https://github.com/Valar-Systems/Ropener/blob/main/docs/BOM-V2.0.md).
