docs(readme): add github-scan menu bar showcase to README #403

Description

@serenakeyitan

Summary

The README currently introduces first-tree github scan only via a command-table at the bottom of the surface section — readers who land on the repo from a Reddit/X post don't see a visual hook or a one-line tagline before the dry table.

Add a small showcase section near the top of the README:

  • Tagline: Delegate your GitHub inbox to a first-tree daemon that lives in your menu bar.
  • Screenshot of the menu bar dropdown (Online status, pending items, Open dashboard / Preferences / Quit).
  • Short paragraph explaining the surface/dashboard/pause flow.
  • Link to the existing command-table further down.

Why

  • Linkable anchor for outbound posts (#first-tree-github-scan) lands readers on a visual hook, not a command list.
  • Surface table on its own does not communicate the menu-bar-daemon framing to a first-time reader.

Out of scope

  • No code changes.
  • No copy changes elsewhere in the README.
  • The lower ### \first-tree github scan`heading will be renamed to`first-tree github scan` commands` so the new showcase section owns the clean anchor slug.
