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.

## Full list

Microsoft Teams, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, QQ Bot, Raft, Signal, Slack, SMS, Synology Chat,
Tlon, Twitch, Voice Call, WhatsApp, Zalo, and Zalo Personal
- External plugin channels maintained outside the OpenClaw repo: WeChat, Yuanbao, and Zalo ClawBot
- Group chat support with mention-based activation
- DM safety with allowlists and pairing
**Agent:**
- Embedded agent runtime with tool streaming
