This is probably the most complete story told publicly, but there was a lot of timeline with a lot of people in it, so as with any such complicated history "it depends who you ask and how you frame the question": https://9to5google.com/2022/08/30/fuchsia-director-interview...
I remember reading the fuchsia slide deck and being absolutely flabbergasted at the levels of architecture astronautics going on in it. It kept flipping back and forth between some generic PM desire ("users should be able to see notifications on both their phone and their tablet!") to some ridiculous overcomplication ("all disk access should happen via a content-addressable filesystem that's transparently synchronized across every device the user owns").
The slide with all of the "1.0s" shipped by the Fuchsia team did not inspire confidence, as someone who was still regularly cleaning up the messes left by a few select members, a decade later.
