Vendor OpenClaw source as Adolf fork baseline

Adolf is a fork/vendored clone of github.com/openclaw/openclaw (v2026.6.11),
free to diverge. Tree copied sans upstream .git; upstream remote added for
future syncs. Node pinned to 24 (.nvmrc); engines already require >=22.19.

+summary: "Use Venice AI privacy-focused models in OpenClaw"
+read_when:
+  - You want privacy-focused inference in OpenClaw
+  - You want Venice AI setup guidance
+title: "Venice AI"
+---
+
+[Venice AI](https://venice.ai) provides privacy-focused inference: open models run
+with no logging, plus anonymized proxy access to Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok.
+All endpoints are OpenAI-compatible (`/v1`).
+
+## Privacy modes
+
+| Mode           | Behavior                                                         | Models                                                        |
+| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Private**    | Prompts/responses are never stored or logged. Ephemeral.         | Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, Venice Uncensored, etc. |
+| **Anonymized** | Proxied through Venice with metadata stripped before forwarding. | Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok                                     |
+
+<Warning>
+Anonymized models are not fully private. Venice strips metadata before forwarding, but the underlying provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI) still processes the request. Use Private models when full privacy is required.
+</Warning>
+
+## Getting started
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Install the plugin">
+    ```bash
+    openclaw plugins install @openclaw/venice-provider
+    ```
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Get your API key">
+    1. Sign up at [venice.ai](https://venice.ai)
+    2. Go to **Settings > API Keys > Create new key**
+    3. Copy your API key (format: `vapi_xxxxxxxxxxxx`)
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Configure OpenClaw">
+    <Tabs>
+      <Tab title="Interactive (recommended)">
+        ```bash
+        openclaw onboard --auth-choice venice-api-key
+        ```
+
+        Prompts for the API key (or reuses an existing `VENICE_API_KEY`), lists available Venice models, and sets your default model.
+      </Tab>
+      <Tab title="Environment variable">
+        ```bash
+        export VENICE_API_KEY="vapi_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
+        ```
+      </Tab>
+      <Tab title="Non-interactive">
+        ```bash
+        openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
+          --auth-choice venice-api-key \
+          --venice-api-key "vapi_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
+        ```
+      </Tab>
+    </Tabs>
+
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Verify setup">
+    ```bash
+    openclaw agent --model venice/kimi-k2-5 --message "Hello, are you working?"
+    ```
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Model selection
+
+- **Default**: `venice/kimi-k2-5` (private, reasoning, vision).
+- **Strongest anonymized option**: `venice/claude-opus-4-6`.
+
+```bash
+openclaw models set venice/kimi-k2-5
+openclaw models list --all --provider venice
+```
+
+You can also run `openclaw configure` and pick **Model/auth provider > Venice AI**.

+  </Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
+
+Grok-backed Venice models (`grok-41-fast` and similar) get the same tool-schema
+compat patch as the native xAI provider, since they share the same upstream
+tool-call format.
+
+## Model discovery
+
+The bundled catalog above is a manifest-backed seed list. At runtime OpenClaw
+refreshes it from the Venice `/models` API and falls back to the seed list if
+the API is unreachable. The `/models` endpoint is public (no auth needed for
+listing), but inference requires a valid API key.
+
+## DeepSeek V4 replay behavior
+
+If Venice exposes DeepSeek V4 models such as `deepseek-v4-pro` or
+`deepseek-v4-flash`, OpenClaw fills the required `reasoning_content` replay
+field on assistant messages when Venice omits it, and strips `thinking`/
+`reasoning`/`reasoning_effort` from the request payload (Venice rejects
+DeepSeek's native `thinking` control on these models). This replay fix is
+separate from the native DeepSeek provider's own thinking controls.
+
+## Streaming and tool support
+
+| Feature          | Support                                           |

+| Streaming        | All models                                        |
+| Function calling | Most models; disabled per-model where noted above |
+| Vision/Images    | Models marked "Vision" above                      |
+| JSON mode        | Via `response_format`                             |
+
+## Pricing
+
+Venice uses a credit-based system. Anonymized models cost roughly the same as
+direct API pricing plus a small Venice fee. See
+[venice.ai/pricing](https://venice.ai/pricing) for current rates.
+
+## Usage examples
+
+```bash
+# Default private model
+openclaw agent --model venice/kimi-k2-5 --message "Quick health check"
+
+# Claude Opus via Venice (anonymized)
+openclaw agent --model venice/claude-opus-4-6 --message "Summarize this task"
+
+# Uncensored model
+openclaw agent --model venice/venice-uncensored --message "Draft options"
+
+# Vision model with image
+openclaw agent --model venice/qwen3-vl-235b-a22b --message "Review attached image"
+
+# Coding model
+openclaw agent --model venice/qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-instruct --message "Refactor this function"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="API key not recognized">
+    ```bash
+    echo $VENICE_API_KEY
+    openclaw models list | grep venice
+    ```
+
+    Confirm the key starts with `vapi_`.
+
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Model not available">
+    Run `openclaw models list --all --provider venice` to see currently
+    available models; the catalog changes as Venice adds or retires models.
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Connection issues">
+    Venice API is at `https://api.venice.ai/api/v1`. Confirm your network allows HTTPS to that host.
