Subject: [PATCH] feat(openclaw): add excludeProviders config to skip
 recall/retain for specific providers (#332)

Adds an `excludeProviders` option to the OpenClaw plugin config that allows
users to specify message providers (e.g. 'telegram', 'discord') to exclude
from Hindsight memory recall and retention.

Closes #331
