Steps to reproduce the bug

Hi,

I encountered an issue when trying to include a local NewPipeExtractor build in settings.gradle.kts.
The example in the commented section fails to work as expected, causing errors when uncommented.

After uncommenting the lines:

// includeBuild('../NewPipeExtractor') {
//     dependencySubstitution {
//         substitute module('com.github.TeamNewPipe:NewPipeExtractor') using project(':extractor')
//     }
// }

The build fails with the following error:

I modified the settings.gradle.kts file and was able to build locally.

It seems like the issue is due to the incompatibility with Kotlin DSL syntax in the commented example. Previously, the syntax was Groovy-based, but since NewPipe has confirmed using Kotlin DSL now, this appears to be a bug.
