# T-681: Add TermLink MCP server to fw init default MCP config

## Context

`fw init` seeds `.mcp.json` with context7 and playwright but not TermLink. TermLink MCP (`termlink mcp serve`) is the primary tool for cross-project isolation (Path C). Add it to the default config in init and the upgrade reconciliation path.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] `init.sh` seeds `.mcp.json` with termlink MCP entry using bare `termlink` (PATH-based)
- [x] `upgrade.sh` recommended_servers includes termlink
- [x] `upgrade.sh` defaults dict includes termlink config
- [x] `upgrade.sh` create-from-scratch MCP JSON includes termlink
- [x] Existing projects get termlink added on `fw upgrade` (reconciliation)

## Verification

# init.sh has termlink in the seed MCP JSON
grep -q "termlink" lib/init.sh
# upgrade.sh has termlink in recommended servers
grep -q "termlink" lib/upgrade.sh
