• whatsapp – WhatsApp Cloud API (webhook, message templates)
• discord – Discord Gateway + REST API (slash commands, rich embeds)
• signal – Signal Protocol via signal-cli daemon (JSON-RPC)
• web – WebSocket interface (axum, JSON frames, ping/pong)
• voice – Voice channel (WebRTC, STT, TTS)
• email – Email adapter (IMAP listener + SMTP sender)
• a2a – Zero-trust A2A protocol (ECDH key exchange, AES-256-GCM)
• router – Multi-channel message routing and dispatch
