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.
Preserves docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

+  - You want to use Vercel AI Gateway with OpenClaw
+  - You need the API key env var or CLI auth choice
+---
+
+The [Vercel AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway) provides a unified API to
+access hundreds of models through a single endpoint.
+
+| Property      | Value                                  |
+| ------------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| Provider      | `vercel-ai-gateway`                    |
+| Package       | `@openclaw/vercel-ai-gateway-provider` |
+| Auth          | `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`                   |
+| API           | Anthropic Messages compatible          |
+| Base URL      | `https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh`         |
+| Model catalog | Auto-discovered via `/v1/models`       |
+
+<Tip>
+OpenClaw auto-discovers the Gateway `/v1/models` catalog, so both the
+`/models vercel-ai-gateway` chat command and
+`openclaw models list --provider vercel-ai-gateway` include current model
+refs such as `vercel-ai-gateway/openai/gpt-5.5` and
+`vercel-ai-gateway/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6`.
+</Tip>
+
+## Getting started
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Install the plugin">
+    ```bash
+    openclaw plugins install @openclaw/vercel-ai-gateway-provider
+    ```
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Set the API key">
+    ```bash
+    openclaw onboard --auth-choice ai-gateway-api-key
+    ```
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Set a default model">
+    ```json5
+    {
+      agents: {
+        defaults: {
+          model: { primary: "vercel-ai-gateway/anthropic/claude-opus-4.6" },
+        },
+      },
+    }
+    ```
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Verify the model is available">
+    ```bash
+    openclaw models list --provider vercel-ai-gateway
+    ```
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Non-interactive example
+
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
+  --mode local \
+  --auth-choice ai-gateway-api-key \
+  --ai-gateway-api-key "$AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY"
+```
+
+## Model ID shorthand
+
+OpenClaw normalizes Claude shorthand model refs at runtime:
+
+| Shorthand input                     | Normalized model ref                          |
+| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| `vercel-ai-gateway/claude-opus-4.6` | `vercel-ai-gateway/anthropic/claude-opus-4.6` |
+| `vercel-ai-gateway/opus-4.6`        | `vercel-ai-gateway/anthropic/claude-opus-4-6` |
+
+<Tip>
+Use either form in your configuration; OpenClaw resolves the canonical
+`anthropic/...` ref automatically.
+</Tip>
+
+## Advanced configuration
+
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Environment variable for daemon processes">
+    If the OpenClaw Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure
+    `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` is available to that process.
+
+    <Warning>
+    A key exported only in an interactive shell will not be visible to a
+    launchd/systemd daemon unless that environment is explicitly imported. Set
+    the key in `~/.openclaw/.env` or via `env.shellEnv` to ensure the gateway
+    process can read it.
+    </Warning>
+
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Provider routing">
+    Vercel AI Gateway routes each request to the upstream provider named in the
+    model ref prefix. For example, `vercel-ai-gateway/anthropic/claude-opus-4.6`
+    routes through Anthropic, `vercel-ai-gateway/openai/gpt-5.5` routes through
+    OpenAI, and `vercel-ai-gateway/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6` routes through
+    MoonshotAI. One `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` authenticates all upstream providers.
+  </Accordion>
+  <Accordion title="Thinking levels">
+    `/think` options follow the upstream model prefix when OpenClaw recognizes
+    it. `vercel-ai-gateway/anthropic/...` uses the Claude thinking profile,
+    including the adaptive default for Claude 4.6 models. Trusted
+    `vercel-ai-gateway/openai/...` refs (`gpt-5.2` and newer, plus Codex
+    variants down to `gpt-5.1-codex`) expose `/think xhigh`. Other namespaced
+    refs keep the standard reasoning levels unless their catalog metadata
+    declares more.
+  </Accordion>
