autoresearchclaw-acp-protocol-delegates-llm-calls-through-claude-code

AutoResearchClaw has native ACP (Agent Client Protocol) support via llm.acp.agent: 'claude' configuration, allowing it to delegate all LLM calls through Claude Code as the backend. This was not chosen as the primary integration pattern (MCP server was selected instead for ORACLE orchestration control), but ACP remains available as a fallback for LLM delegation when Claude Code is the runtime context. ACP is designed for LLM delegation, not pipeline orchestration — which is why MCP server is preferable for granular stage control.
