Wording of devtools docs is misleading about @redux-devtools/extension being required

[VladislavVovk]

Bug Description

On the devtools middleware docs page there is an “Important” note that says something like:

In order to use devtools from zustand/middleware you need to install @redux-devtools/extension library.

This wording is a bit misleading, because in practice the devtools middleware works fine without installing the @redux-devtools/extension package, as long as the Redux DevTools browser extension is installed. The package is only needed for advanced configuration/usage, not for basic usage.

As a result, the current phrasing feels like it is a hard requirement, while in reality it is optional for most use cases.

Would you consider rephrasing this note to something like:

To use advanced configuration with the devtools middleware, you can install the @redux-devtools/extension library.
For basic usage, having the Redux DevTools browser extension installed is enough.

This would make the docs clearer and avoid confusion for new users who think they must install the NPM package for devtools to work at all.

Thanks!

  StoreApi,
  StoreMutatorIdentifier,
} from '../vanilla.ts'

type Config = Parameters<
  (Window extends { __REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__?: infer T }
    ? T
    : { connect: (param: any) => any })['connect']
