The boot-smoke gate (molecule-core#2275) invokes adapters with stub
creds and no network so it can exercise executor.execute() lazy
imports. OpenClaw's setup() spawns a real `openclaw gateway --dev`
subprocess that needs valid creds + network — under smoke env it
exits immediately, raising RuntimeError("OpenClaw gateway process
exited") and failing the publish-image workflow.
Add a 1-line opt-out at the top of setup() so the runtime can reach
its smoke short-circuit. Real production boots are unaffected.
Closes the openclaw failure surfaced when running publish-image
across all 8 workspace templates with the new boot-smoke step.

Lazy import inside async def execute() used the v0 a2a-sdk symbol +
import path. Module-load doesn't evaluate it so the boot-smoke gate
in molecule-ci's publish-template-image workflow didn't catch it,
but the image ships broken — first A2A message hits ImportError:
from a2a.utils import new_agent_text_message
ImportError: cannot import name 'new_agent_text_message' from 'a2a.utils'
Verified against the running image (a2a-sdk==1.0.2):
a2a.utils.new_agent_text_message: False
a2a.helpers.new_agent_text_message: False
a2a.utils.new_text_message: False
a2a.helpers.new_text_message: True
Surfaced via cross-template audit while verifying v0.1.36 cascade
health. crewai/openclaw/autogen all share the same lazy-import bug.
Fix: rename symbol + switch import path.

`molecule_runtime.adapters.get_adapter()` reads
`getattr(mod, "Adapter")` after importing ADAPTER_MODULE.
Without the alias the workspace startup fails preflight with
"no \`Adapter\` class is exported".
Same fix already shipped in claude-code, hermes, gemini-cli,
langgraph, deepagents today. Surfaced by today's wire-real E2E
sweep against fresh template images. The new bare-imports lint
in molecule-ci PR #8 catches related issues automatically.
