Summary
The README install section does not include "build from source" instructions. Other UF components (e.g., gaze) document this path, but replicator omits it, creating an inconsistency.
Context
Users who want to build from source (contributors, users on unsupported platforms, or those who prefer not to use pre-built binaries) have no documented path. The project already has make build and make install targets that handle this, but they are not mentioned in the README.
Fix
Add a "Build from Source" subsection to the README install area with:
- Prerequisites (Go 1.25+, make)
- Clone + build commands (
git clone, make build or make install)
- Verification step (
replicator version)
Acceptance Criteria
