Regression in Gradle plugin v8.3.0: Cannot set the value of task ':integTest:spotlessJava' property 'taskService' #2877

See https://github.com/tbroyer/gradle-incap-helper/actions/runs/22761702833/job/66019533887?pr=51, but confirmed locally by updating the spotless plugin independently.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot set the value of task ':integTest:spotlessJava' property 'taskService' of type com.diffplug.gradle.spotless.SpotlessTaskService loaded with InstrumentingVisitableURLClassLoader(ClassLoaderScopeIdentifier.Id{coreAndPlugins:settings[:]:buildSrc[:]:root-project[:]:project-integTest(export)}) using a provider of type com.diffplug.gradle.spotless.SpotlessTaskService loaded with InstrumentingVisitableURLClassLoader(ClassLoaderScopeIdentifier.Id{coreAndPlugins:settings[:]:buildSrc[:]:root-project[:]:project-incap(export)}).
This can be caused by a plugin being applied to two sibling projects and then using a shared build service. To fix this, use `@ServiceReference` or add the problematic plugin with `apply false` to the root build script.

This happens in a multi-project build where the root project doesn't have a build.gradle.kts, so the spotless plugin isn't applied on the root project; and indeed adding it with apply false works around the error.

Either this should be documented as a new requirement, or the plugin should use @ServiceReference (if that makes a difference; but then also require Gradle >= 8)
