Search/fetch setup

Enabled native web_fetch in OpenClaw config.
Confirmed local SearXNG at http://192.168.153.113:18803 is working.
Confirmed local Brave MCP endpoint at http://192.168.153.113:18802/mcp is reachable via mcporter as tool brave_web_search.
Added local skill skills/brave-mcp-search for direct Brave MCP-backed search.
Added local skill skills/local-meta-search to route search as:
- SearXNG first
- Brave MCP fallback on failure or weak/empty results
Search routing preference documented in TOOLS.md.

I missed that Telegram was already set up and incorrectly asked setup-style follow-up questions instead of checking current state first.
New rule: before suggesting setup/re-setup, first inspect current config, memory, and recent evidence; if already configured, treat it as ops/validation/debugging.
