Subject: [PATCH] fix: detect 'everclaw/' provider misconfiguration during
 install (v0.9.6)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds post-bootstrap config validation that catches the #1 onboarding
issue: using 'everclaw/' as a model prefix. Everclaw is a skill, not
a provider — this silently routes to Venice instead of Morpheus.

Triggered by real user report (Alex) who staked MOR correctly but
got billing errors because requests never reached the Morpheus network.
