docs: add logo to README
assets/logo.png is a 336x336 PNG of the FJ mark (orange F + slanted red
J on a slate background). Embedded at 128px centered above the title in
README so the project has a recognizable face in tap listings, social
cards, and casual link previews.

TODO: replace the line below with an asciinema embed once the v0.1.0
release is tagged. Run `./scripts/record-demo.sh` then

## Install
```sh
# Homebrew (macOS + Linux):
brew tap rasterandstate/tap
brew install fj
# From source:
cargo install --path .
# or
cargo build --release && cp target/release/fj ~/.local/bin/fj
```
## Quick start
```sh
fj auth login # add a host and token
fj auth status # show signed-in hosts
fj repo list # repos you own
fj repo view owner/name # repo overview
fj issue list -R owner/name # issues
fj pr list -R owner/name --state open # pull requests
fj api /repos/search -X GET -f q=foo # raw API escape hatch
```
`-R/--repo` is optional inside a git clone. fj detects the upstream from
`upstream`, then `origin`, then any other remote.

## Global flags
- `--host <hostname>` (or `FJ_HOST`): pick the host explicitly.
- `--debug` (or `FJ_DEBUG=1`): log every HTTP request to stderr.
- `--no-pager` (or `FJ_NO_PAGER=1`): skip the pager.
- `--json-fields foo,bar`: gh-style projection on top of any `--json`
output. Dotted paths supported (`--json-fields owner.login,id`).
- `--web` on most list/view subcommands: open the relevant page in
your default browser.
## Config
- Hosts and the current host live in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fj/hosts.toml`
(`~/Library/Application Support/fj/hosts.toml` on macOS).
- Aliases in `aliases.toml`. Preferences in `config.toml`.
- Tokens live in the OS keychain under service `fj`, keyed by hostname.
## Aliases
```sh
fj alias set co "pr checkout"
fj co 42 # equivalent to: fj pr checkout 42
```
## Extensions
Any executable on `$PATH` named `fj-<name>` is invokable as `fj <name> [args]`.
```sh
fj extension list # show discovered plugins
fj my-plugin some-arg # invokes `fj-my-plugin some-arg`
```
## Plugin-style usage of `fj api`
```sh
# Auto-paginate a list endpoint into a single JSON array:
fj api /repos/search -f q=fj --paginate -q .
# Pass a custom request header:
fj api /user -H "X-Trace-Id: foo"
# Show response headers along with the body:
fj api /version --include
# Send a literal JSON body:
fj api /repos/migrate --input '{"clone_addr":"...","repo_name":"x","repo_owner":"y"}'
```
## Hooks
- `hooks/pre-push` runs `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy -D warnings`,
`cargo test`, and a release build before any push.
- With `FJ_E2E=1`, the hook also runs `scripts/e2e-smoke.sh` against the
configured host.
- Install via `./scripts/install-hooks.sh`.
## Building
```sh
cargo build --release # ~4 MB stripped binary at target/release/fj
./target/release/fj completion zsh > ~/.zfunc/_fj
./target/release/fj man -o ~/man/man1
```
