# T-351: Rewrite README Quickstart with 3 onboarding paths + Watchtower

## Context

README Quickstart was a single code block. Needs 3 distinct onboarding paths (inception, vanilla build, existing project) plus Watchtower dashboard instructions.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] Path 1: Fresh project with inception (thinking-first exploration)
- [x] Path 2: Fresh project, start building (task-first)
- [x] Path 3: Existing project ingestion (fw init + fabric register)
- [x] Watchtower dashboard startup instructions included

### Human
- [x] [REVIEW] Quickstart paths read clearly and match real workflows
  **Steps:**
  1. Read the three Quickstart paths in README.md
  2. Compare each against actual `fw` command behavior
  **Expected:** Commands are accurate, descriptions match intent
  **If not:** Note which path needs adjustment

## Verification

grep -q "Path 1" README.md
grep -q "Path 2" README.md
grep -q "Path 3" README.md
grep -q "fw serve" README.md
