Task

Build a Python-based flight price monitor in /root/.openclaw/workspace/projects/flight-monitor.

Specs

config.json (already exists with base structure):

Route: BER → EZE round trip, threshold €700, duration 2–4 weeks, preferred months Dec–Mar, monitor year-round
Design for multiple routes

Price source (no API key yet):

Try Kiwi/Tequila public endpoint (no key needed for basic searches)
Thin adapter pattern: adapters/base.py + adapters/kiwi.py
If free option fails, implement a clear stub that documents exactly what API key is needed

Alerting:

When price < threshold: openclaw send --text "✈️ Flight alert: [route] €[price] on [dates]! [link]"
Log all checks to monitor.log

Files to create:

monitor.py — main one-shot script
adapters/__init__.py, adapters/base.py, adapters/kiwi.py
requirements.txt
cron-install.sh — sets up daily run at 08:00 UTC
README.md

When done:

Commit everything to this repo (otis/flight-monitor on Gitea)
Run: openclaw system event --text "Done: flight-monitor built and pushed to Gitea" --mode now
