docs(readme): mention the VS Code extension under Quick start#21
Merged
Conversation
The CLI install is the only entry point currently advertised on the front page of the README, but the same agent has shipped as a VS Code extension for a while now. New users coming from the GitHub page have no signal that there's a GUI option. This adds a short subsection right after the CLI Quick start with: - Marketplace link - Three-line install path (Extensions panel → search Franklin → click) - A note that CLI and extension share ~/.blockrun/ state, so a wallet funded for one works for the other and session history carries over Scope deliberately narrow — one block, no rearrangement of existing content, no new badges, no separate top-level section. The pitch / YOPO / Smart Router etc. stay intact.

Summary
The README's Quick start currently shows only the CLI install path. The same agent has shipped as a VS Code extension for a while, but new visitors landing on the GitHub page have no signal that a GUI version exists.
This adds a short subsection right after the CLI Quick start.

Prefer a GUI? Try Franklin for VS Code
The same agent ships as a [VS Code extension] — chat panel, model
picker, wallet balance, image / video generation, inline diff cards
— all driven by the wallet you already funded for the CLI.
VS Code → Extensions (Cmd+Shift+X / Ctrl+Shift+X)
→ search "Franklin" → Install
→ click the Franklin icon in the Activity Bar
Free models work immediately. Paid models, image gen, and video gen
activate the moment your wallet has USDC. The CLI and the extension
share the same ~/.blockrun/ config and session history, so jumping
between terminal and VS Code is seamless.
