dcp vs daml
dcp: DCP is a compact protocol for LLM agents to control physical devices, using a static intent table and CBOR wire format. It is validated on ESP32 hardware and complements MCP by translating DCP ↔ MCP for zero-config integration with MCP hosts. The protocol emphasizes safety through intent-level commands and capability tokens.; daml: Cannot extract a summary from the provided README content as it only references another file.
