# T-891: Add .framework.yaml as persistent tier in fw_config resolution

## Context

`lib/config.sh` has 3 tiers: CLI arg > env var > default. Add a 4th tier between env var and default: read from `.framework.yaml` config section. This makes `fw config set watchtower.port 3001` take effect for all tools using `fw_config`.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] `fw_config` reads from `.framework.yaml` when env var is not set
- [x] Resolution order: CLI arg > env var > .framework.yaml > default
- [x] Existing behavior unchanged when `.framework.yaml` has no custom settings
- [x] All 524 unit tests still pass

## Verification

bats tests/unit/lib_config.bats
grep -q 'framework.yaml\|_fw_config_file' lib/config.sh
