Judge every priority against the mission: does it make the services → agents → workflows lifecycle simpler, more cohesive, and more operable? CURRENT GOAL — DEVELOPER ADOPTION: the framework's depth is strong but its ON-RAMP is the gap, and the strategic priority right now is developer adoption / reviving real usage. Weight the developer on-ramp and DX — a walkable first-agent tutorial, discoverable examples, docs wayfinding/nav, install friction, debugging, the 0→1 and 0→hero experience — AT LEAST as highly as internal hardening. A developer succeeding on their first agent matters more right now than another conformance/observability/interop increment; do NOT let the queue fill entirely with internal depth work — keep open adoption/on-ramp items near the top. Look at coherence and seams across the core packages (agent, ai, flow, gateway/mcp, gateway/a2a, model, server, store, registry), the dev inner loop (scaffold → run → chat → inspect → deploy), missing pieces, duplication/drift, and realignment. Flag drift in EITHER direction: work drifting from the mission, or the North Star/website drifting from the lived story in the blog (which needs re-grounding in the canon). (3) MAINTAIN THE QUEUE in internal/docs/PRIORITIES.md — a SINGLE ordered list, highest-value first, each item linking a scoped CI-verifiable issue (#N); roadmap phase is the primary ordering, internal findings (cohesion gaps, DX friction, missing pieces) interleaved by value.

OUTPUT: post a concise assessment as a comment on this issue (#$ISSUE_NUM) — what shipped, what's in flight, the top risks/gaps/missing pieces, and the reasoning behind the ranking.

-
-          CHANGELOG UPKEEP (this is a SAFE factual task — it goes in the auto-merged PR). Keep CHANGELOG.md living, in [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) format with the newest content at the top under \`## [Unreleased]\`. (a) Enumerate PRs merged to master since the last CHANGELOG update — \`gh pr list --repo $REPO --state merged --base master --limit 60 --json number,title,mergedAt,labels\` — and compare against what CHANGELOG.md already lists. (b) For each genuinely user-facing change not yet recorded (new capability, behavior/API change, notable fix — SKIP purely internal loop/CI/priorities-refresh churn), add a concise entry under the right \`### Added\` / \`### Changed\` / \`### Fixed\` / \`### Documentation\` subheading of \`## [Unreleased]\`, phrased for a user (what it does, which package), not a commit subject. (c) If a new \`v6.MINOR.PATCH\` tag has been cut since the last run (\`git fetch --tags --force\`; compare the newest \`v6.*\` tag to the versions already in CHANGELOG.md), RENAME the current \`## [Unreleased]\` heading to \`## [MINOR.PATCH] - <Month YYYY>\` for that tag and open a fresh empty \`## [Unreleased]\` above it. Keep it accurate — do not invent entries; if nothing user-facing merged, leave [Unreleased] as-is.
-
-          CHANGELOG BLOG POST (blog voice — open a PR but do NOT auto-merge; leave it for the human). If — and only if — enough user-facing work has accumulated since the last changelog post to be worth reading (a meaningful batch, roughly a week's worth; do NOT post an almost-empty update every day), draft a short 'What's new in Go Micro' post that narrates what shipped in plain language (grouped by theme, linking the docs/examples, closing with install/upgrade). Create it as the next-numbered file in \`internal/website/blog/\` (find the highest N, use N+1), mirroring the frontmatter (layout/title/permalink/description) and the post-nav 'previous post' link of the latest existing post, and add an entry at the TOP of \`internal/website/blog/index.html\`. Base it strictly on the CHANGELOG — no speculation.
-
-          THEN do all of these: (A) post a concise findings report as a comment on this issue (#$ISSUE_NUM) — what is aligned, what drifted, what you fixed, the CHANGELOG entries you added, whether you drafted a changelog post (and why / why not), and any other blog ideas. (B) Open ONE auto-merging PR for the SAFE factual work only — coherence/crispness fixes AND the CHANGELOG.md update (NOT brand/marketing/positioning rewrites, NOT the blog post): \`git switch -c codex/devrel-$ISSUE_NUM\`, \`git push -u origin codex/devrel-$ISSUE_NUM\`, \`gh pr create --base master --label codex --title \"<title>\" --body \"<summary, including 'Closes #$ISSUE_NUM'>\"\`, then \`gh pr merge --squash --auto --delete-branch\`. (C) If you drafted a changelog blog post, open it as a SEPARATE PR on its own branch (\`codex/devrel-blog-$ISSUE_NUM\`) with a title prefixed 'blog:' and do NOT enable auto-merge — leave it open for the human to review and merge. Do the same (separate, non-auto-merged PR or just a report note) for any brand/positioning copy. Do not use the make_pr tool (it is a no-op stub). If you touch code, verify go build/test/golangci-lint. Stay out of breaking public-API changes."

(2) Root-cause each DISTINCT failure. (3) DEDUPE against existing work — list open issues (\`gh issue list --repo $REPO --label codex --state open --limit 100\`); if a matching issue already exists for a failure, add a one-line 'recurred in $RUN_URL' comment to it and do NOT open a duplicate. (4) For each genuine, self-contained, CI-verifiable defect that is NOT already tracked, open a scoped issue: \`gh issue create --repo $REPO --label codex --label enhancement --title \"<scoped task>\" --body \"<root cause, scope, acceptance criteria, and the failing run link>\"\` — the hourly increment loop will build it. (5) If a failure is transient/flaky and not a code defect (e.g. a live-model latency timeout or provider outage), note it in a comment and file NOTHING. (6) If a real fix would require a breaking public-API change or an architectural change, do NOT file it as an auto-buildable task — open an issue labeled \`needs-human\` describing it for the architect/human.

 All notable changes to Go Micro are documented here.
 
-Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) and versions
-follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/), matching the git tags and
-[GitHub releases](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/releases) (`v6.MINOR.PATCH`).
-Patch releases are cut automatically as the loop merges improvements; the
-`[Unreleased]` section below is kept current between tags and rolled into the
-next version when it ships.
-
-> Earlier `2026.0x` headings are historical calendar-style markers from before
-> v6 tagging; they are kept for continuity and not reused.

-## [Unreleased]
-
-### Added
-- **`micro loop`** — scaffold an autonomous improvement loop into any repository: GitHub Actions workflows for a planner (keeps a ranked queue), builder (builds the top item as a single-concern PR, auto-merged on green CI), and triage (turns CI failures into fix issues), dispatched to an @mention-driven coding agent. `micro loop init` writes the workflows + `NORTH_STAR`/`PRIORITIES`; `micro loop verify` checks the wiring. This is the loop that maintains go-micro itself, generalized. (`cmd/micro/loop/`)
-
----
-
-## [6.3.12] - July 2026
-
-### Added
-- **Ollama provider** — run agents against open-weight models locally (`/api/chat`, NDJSON streaming) or via Ollama Cloud (OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions`, SSE), auto-detected from the base URL, with tool calling in both modes. Point any agent at a non-default endpoint with the new `agent.BaseURL` / `micro.AgentBaseURL` option. (`ai/ollama/`, `examples/agent-ollama/`)
-- **Retrieval-backed agent memory** — agents can recall relevant prior turns by similarity, not just the recent window, with a summarizer hook that compacts older history so long conversations stay in budget. (`agent/`)
-- **Scheduled flows** — a flow can run an agent (or any step) on a cron-style schedule, with the dispatch traced end to end. (`flow/`)
-- **Flow verification/grader loop** — a workflow can grade its own step output against a rubric and retry until it passes, plus run-trace analysis to surface where a flow spends its time. (`flow/`)
-- **A2A streaming & continuity** — outbound agent streaming flows through the A2A binding (`message/stream`), with `tasks/resubscribe` and `input-required` handoffs for multi-turn interop. (`gateway/a2a/`)
-
-### Changed
-- **Agent tool-call resilience** — opt-in retries around agent tool calls, and a fallback that executes tool calls emitted as text by weaker models so they still make progress. (`agent/`)
-- **Hardened agent durability** — terminal failure statuses are classified and surfaced, and durable resume-after-restart is covered by tests. (`agent/`)
-
-### Documentation
-- **"Your first agent" walkthrough** and a canonical 0-to-hero reference path, lowering the on-ramp from install to a running agent. (`internal/website/docs/`)
-- **Discord** linked prominently across the README, website nav/footer, and docs. (`https://discord.gg/G8Gk5j3uXr`)
+Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/). Go Micro uses
+calendar-based versions (YYYY.MM) for the AI-native era.

-## How Go Micro is built
-
-Go Micro is developed by an **autonomous improvement loop** — a planner, a
-generator, and a separate evaluator, running as scheduled GitHub Actions with a
-human setting direction. It's the framework's own thesis (an agent operating a
-system) pointed at itself: an agent harness, built by agents. The full process —
-the planner → generator → evaluator pipeline, the correctness-only merge gate, and
-the guardrails — is documented in
-[`internal/docs/CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md`](internal/docs/CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md).
-Human contributions follow the same gate: green CI, one concern per PR.

 Go Micro is an **agent harness** and service framework for Go.
 
-**Community:** questions, ideas, or just want to build alongside us? [Join the Discord](https://discord.gg/G8Gk5j3uXr).
-
 A harness is the runtime around an agent: the tools it can call, the memory it keeps, the guardrails that bound it, the workflows that trigger it, the services it depends on, and the protocols other agents use to reach it. 
 
 Go Micro gives you the harness as Go code. Build an agent and it gets a model, memory, tools, planning, delegation, guardrails, and service discovery; it is reachable over [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) and [A2A](https://a2a-protocol.org). Write services and every endpoint becomes an AI-callable tool. Orchestrate the deterministic parts with durable flows. Agents, services, and flows share one runtime because an agent is a distributed system, and building one is building a service.

-// Package ollama implements the Ollama model provider.
-//
-// Ollama runs open-weight models locally (or via Ollama Cloud). This
-// provider supports two API styles:
-//
-//   - Native (/api/chat):   local Ollama servers (default, http://localhost:11434)
-//   - OpenAI-compatible (/v1/chat/completions): Ollama Cloud (https://ollama.com/v1)
-//
-// The provider auto-detects which style to use based on the base URL.
-// Set OLLAMA_BASE_URL to point at your server (local or cloud).
-//
-// Usage (local):
-//
-//	import _ "go-micro.dev/v6/ai/ollama"
-//
-//	m := ai.New("ollama",
-//	    ai.WithBaseURL("http://localhost:11434"),
-//	    ai.WithModel("llama3.2"),
-//	)
-//
-// Usage (Ollama Cloud):
-//
-//	m := ai.New("ollama",
-//	    ai.WithBaseURL("https://ollama.com/v1"),
-//	    ai.WithAPIKey("your-key"),

@@ -625,49 +625,3 @@ Scopes provide fine-grained access control over which tokens can call which serv
 The gateway's scope system uses `auth.Account` from the go-micro framework. Scopes on accounts are the same `[]string` field used by the framework's `auth.Rules` and `wrapper/auth` package. The gateway stores scope requirements in the default store under `endpoint-scopes/<service>.<endpoint>` keys and checks them on every HTTP request.
 
 For service-level (RPC) auth within the go-micro mesh, use the `wrapper/auth` package which provides `auth.Rules` with priority-based access control. See the [auth wrapper documentation](../../wrapper/auth/README.md) for details.

-## Self-improving loop (`micro loop`)
-
-Turn a repository into a self-improving one: GitHub Actions workflows that
-dispatch a coding agent to plan, build, and triage — gated by CI. This is the
-same loop that maintains go-micro itself, generalized so any repo (and any
-@mention-driven agent) can use it.
-
-```bash
-micro loop init      # scaffold the loop into the current repo
-micro loop verify    # check a repo is wired correctly
-```
-
-`micro loop init` writes three workflows and a queue:
-
-| Role | File | What it does |
-|------|------|--------------|
-| Planner | `.github/workflows/loop-planner.yml` | Keeps a ranked queue in `.github/loop/PRIORITIES.md` |
-| Builder | `.github/workflows/loop-builder.yml` | Builds the top open item as a single-concern PR, auto-merged on green CI |
-| Triage | `.github/workflows/loop-triage.yml` | Turns CI failures into scoped fix issues, back into the queue |
-
-Direction lives in `.github/loop/NORTH_STAR.md` — edit it to steer the loop.
-
-Common flags:
-
-```bash
-micro loop init \
-  --agent @codex \
-  --token-secret LOOP_TOKEN \
-  --branch main \
-  --ci-workflow CI
-```
-
-- `--agent`: how the workflows summon the agent (an `@mention`)
-- `--token-secret`: repo secret holding the driving user PAT
-- `--branch`: base branch for the loop's PRs
-- `--ci-workflow`: `name:` of the CI workflow triage watches
-
-Two things the CLI can't do for you (and `micro loop verify` reminds you of):
-
-1. **Add the token secret.** The agent ignores `@mentions` from the
-   `github-actions` bot, so dispatch posts as a real user via a PAT stored in
-   the `--token-secret` repo secret. The workflows no-op until it's set.
-2. **Set branch protection.** Require the CI checks with **0 approving reviews**
-   so the builder's native auto-merge lands PRs the moment CI is green — that
-   green-CI gate is the loop's only safety mechanism, so keep the suite strong.

-| **Evaluator** | `harness.yml` — *Harness (E2E)*, plus the CI gate (`tests.yaml`, `lint.yaml`) | Grades every change: the mock harness + unit/lint on each push/PR, and real-model conformance hourly. A *separate* grader — never the generator judging itself. |
-| **Evaluator → feedback** | `loop-triage.yml` — *Loop: Triage (Evaluator feedback)* | On harness failure, root-causes, dedupes, and files scoped fix issues back into the planner's queue. The hill-climbing feedback path. |
-| **Coherence** | `loop-devrel.yml` — *Loop: DevRel* | Keeps README/website/docs/blog aligned with the North Star, keeps `CHANGELOG.md` living (reconciling `[Unreleased]` against merged PRs and rolling it into version headings as tags cut), and drafts the changelog blog post. |
-| **Release** | `loop-release.yml` — *Loop: Release (daily patch)* | Cuts a daily patch tag when master has new commits, so the *installable* framework tracks the loop's improvements (triggers `release.yml`/goreleaser). Minor/major bumps stay with the human. |

 ## Work queue (ranked)
 
-1. **Make the first-agent on-ramp discoverable from README and website navigation** ([#3640](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3640)) — the install and first-run smoke contract shipped in #3635, but adoption still depends on a new developer finding the next step without already knowing the guide names. Put the walkable path from install/scaffold to first agent, chat/inspect, and 0→hero in the README/site wayfinding so the verified harness becomes lived DX rather than hidden depth.
-2. **Make plan/delegate live-provider conformance avoid duplicate task side effects** ([#3626](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3626)) — atlascloud still has an open Now-phase trust gap where plan/delegate created duplicate launch tasks and missed the delegated notification. This remains the highest open runtime fix because plan/delegate is the bridge from agent reasoning to service side effects; developers cannot trust the services → agents lifecycle if a model can replay tool calls and leave handoff pending.
-3. **Make universe checkout conformance send exactly one concierge notification** ([#3633](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3633)) — the newest live-provider scan found the durable checkout/universe path resuming correctly but notifying the buyer twice. Rank it next because durable workflows are the 0→hero proof, and resume idempotency must be boring before deeper observability or future interop work matters.
-4. **Expose `fallback_echo` during A2A streaming fallback conformance** ([#3560](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3560)) — this remains the next scoped Now-phase interop/conformance gap: it protects the A2A streaming promise developers see in the README and site by ensuring the non-native streaming fallback path still receives the tool surface, without letting protocol depth outrank the on-ramp or side-effect safety.
-5. **Propagate agent run cancellation and deadlines through model and tool calls** ([#3544](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3544)) — the highest-value remaining Now-phase resilience gap after the live-provider side-effect fixes is predictable failure semantics across agent runs, model calls, tool calls, plan/delegate, and flow handoffs. Tool retries and live-provider deadline tuning are in place; the lifecycle still needs cancellation/deadline propagation so work fails safely instead of becoming opaque loops.
-6. **Emit OpenTelemetry spans for agent run timelines** ([#3525](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3525)) — recent work made runs inspectable, correlated trace metadata through scheduled dispatch, verified restart resume, added opt-in tool retries, hardened provider conformance, and fixed provider-emitted text tool calls. The next Next-phase step is to turn that RunInfo foundation into standard OTel spans for agent runs, model calls, tool calls, checkpoint/resume, cancellation/deadlines, and failures.
-7. **Add an AP2 mandate layer over A2A and x402** ([#3552](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3552)) — this is a forward interop investment, not a Now-phase blocker: Go Micro already has A2A agents and x402 paid tools, so a small signed-mandate foundation can keep agent payments aligned with the open-protocol story without pulling the queue away from adoption, resilience, or observability. Keep it additive and opt-in while the AP2/FIDO work settles.
+1. **CI-verify cross-provider agent conformance** ([#3537](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3537)) — retry/backoff resilience and durable checkpoint/resume have shipped, so the highest-value remaining Now-phase gap is proving the same services → agents → workflows scenario works across every supported model provider. This keeps the harness honest where provider drift most directly breaks developer trust: model calls, tool calls, skip/pass/fail reporting, and CI-safe execution when credentials are absent.
+2. **Emit OpenTelemetry spans for agent run timelines** ([#3525](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/3525)) — recent work made runs inspectable, correlated trace metadata through scheduled dispatch, verified restart resume, and added opt-in tool retries; the next step is to turn that RunInfo foundation into standard OTel spans for agent runs, model calls, tool calls, checkpoint/resume, and failures. This keeps `micro runs` useful while making the harness observable in the systems developers already run.

 API keys (`make provider-conformance` or the scheduled/manual CI job).

----
-
-# Debugging your agent
-
-Use this guide when an agent surprises you: it answered without using a service,
-called the wrong endpoint, looped, lost memory, refused a tool, or behaved
-differently when a flow handed work to it. The local inner loop is:
-
-```sh
-micro run          # start services, agents, gateway, dashboard
-micro chat         # reproduce one turn
-micro inspect ...  # read the recorded run or workflow history
-```
-
-Debug the lifecycle in the same order Go Micro runs it: first prove the service is
-registered and callable, then inspect the agent run that chose tools, then inspect
-any workflow that handed off to the agent.
-
-## 1. Reproduce one small turn
-
-Start from the application directory and keep the prompt narrow enough that you
-can tell which tool should have run:
-
-```sh
-micro run
-micro chat --prompt "Create a ticket for Pat, then list open tickets."
-```
-
-For a live provider, make the provider choice explicit so a later retry uses the
-same model boundary:
-
-```sh
-MICRO_AI_PROVIDER=anthropic \
-ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
-micro chat --prompt "Create a ticket for Pat, then list open tickets."
-```
-
-If the provider supports streaming, turn it on while you reproduce the issue:
-
-```sh
-micro chat --provider anthropic --stream
-```
-
-Streaming shows the final answer as it arrives. Tool execution still goes through
-the same agent run and is visible through inspection after the turn completes.
-
-## 2. Prove the service side before blaming the model
-
-Agents only call tools that the runtime can discover and describe. Check the
-service boundary first:
-
-```sh
-micro services
-micro call ticket TicketService.List '{}'
-```
-
-If the service is missing, restart the service under `micro run` and verify it is
-using the same registry as the agent. If the direct `micro call` fails, fix the
-handler, request shape, or auth error there before debugging prompts.
-
-When the agent calls the wrong tool or sends the wrong fields, improve the tool
-description at the service source:
-
-```go
-// Create opens a customer support ticket and returns its stable ticket ID.
-// @example {"customer":"Pat","subject":"Cannot log in"}
-func (s *TicketService) Create(ctx context.Context, req *CreateRequest, rsp *CreateResponse) error {
-```
-
-Endpoint comments, request field names, `description` tags, and `@example` blocks
-are the model's map of your service. A vague handler comment often looks like a
-reasoning failure from the outside.
-
-## 3. Inspect agent run history
-
-After a chat turn, list recent runs for that agent:
-
-```sh
-micro inspect agent support
-```
-
-The output shows the run id, status, number of recorded events, the last event,
-errors, and a short trace id when tracing is configured. Narrow the list while you
-iterate:
-
-```sh
-micro inspect agent support --limit 5
-micro inspect agent support --status timeout
-micro inspect agent support --trace abc123
-micro inspect agent support --json
-```
-
-Useful statuses include `done`, `refused`, `timeout`, `rate_limited`, `canceled`,
-and `error`. Use `--json` when you want exact timestamps, trace/span ids, and error
-kinds for a bug report.
-
-Run timelines are stored in the agent's state store under that agent's scoped
-state (`agent/<name>/runs/...`). The persisted timeline is recorded even without
-an OpenTelemetry exporter, so `micro inspect agent` remains useful in local
-no-secret development.
-
-## 4. See tool calls as they happen
-
-When you are embedding an agent in Go and need live tool visibility, use the
-streaming API instead of waiting for the final answer:
-
-```go
-stream, err := agent.StreamAsk(ctx, ag, "Create a ticket for Pat")
-if err != nil {
-    return err
-}
-for {
-    ev, err := stream.Recv()
-    if err != nil {
-        break
-    }
-    switch ev.Type {
-    case agent.StreamEventToolStart:

-    case agent.StreamEventToolEnd:
-        log.Printf("tool end: %s %#v", ev.ToolCall.Name, ev.Result)
-    case agent.StreamEventToken:
-        fmt.Print(ev.Token)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-For custom audit logging, wrap the tool execution boundary. Wrappers observe every
-call and result, including guardrail refusals:
-
-```go
-wrapped := micro.AgentWrapTool(func(next ai.ToolHandler) ai.ToolHandler {
-    return func(ctx context.Context, call ai.ToolCall) ai.ToolResult {
-        if run, ok := ai.RunInfoFrom(ctx); ok {
-            log.Printf("run=%s agent=%s tool=%s", run.RunID, run.Agent, call.Name)
-        }
-        res := next(ctx, call)
-        if res.Refused != "" {
-            log.Printf("tool refused: %s reason=%s", call.Name, res.Refused)
-        }
-        return res
-    }
-})
-
-ag := micro.NewAgent("support", wrapped)
-```
-
-Use this when you need request/response payloads in your own logs. By default,
-Go Micro records safe run metadata; raw prompt input is not persisted unless the
-agent is configured with `agent.TraceInputs(true)`.
-
-## 5. Inspect memory and plans
-
-Default agent memory is store-backed and scoped to the agent name. A restarted
-agent with the same `micro.WithStore(...)` and name reloads conversation history
-from the `history` key in `agent/<name>` state. If you pass `micro.WithMemory(...)`,
-you own that backend; if you pass `agent.NewInMemory(...)`, memory disappears on
-restart.
-
-The built-in `plan` tool also saves the current plan to the same scoped agent
-state, so a later turn can pick up the saved plan. When memory does not persist,
-check that all of these are stable across restarts:
-
-- the agent name (`micro.NewAgent("support", ...)`),
-- the configured store backend (`micro.WithStore(...)` or the process default),
-- whether a custom in-memory `Memory` implementation replaced the default,
-- whether compaction/retrieval limits are intentionally hiding older turns from
-  the active model context.
-
-## 6. Inspect workflow handoffs
-
-If a flow triggered the agent, inspect the flow too. The flow history tells you
-which durable stage dispatched to the agent and whether a run is still pending:
-
-```sh
-micro inspect flow intake
-micro inspect flow intake --pending
-micro inspect flow intake --stage notify
-micro inspect flow intake --json
-```
-
-The older flow-specific command remains available for listing runs:
-
-```sh
-micro flow runs intake
-```
-
-Use the flow run id and the agent run id together when debugging handoffs: the
-flow explains why work started and where it checkpointed; the agent run explains
-which model/tool steps happened after the handoff.
-
-## 7. Add traces when metadata is not enough
-
-For local CLI debugging, `micro inspect` is the fastest path. For production or
-multi-service debugging, configure an OpenTelemetry tracer provider on the agent:
-
-```go
-ag := micro.NewAgent("support",
-    micro.AgentTraceProvider(tp),
-)
-```
-
-Trace ids flow into the recorded run summaries, so you can pivot between
-`micro inspect agent support --trace <prefix>` and your trace backend. Keep
-`agent.TraceInputs(true)` off unless your observability backend is approved to
-store prompt content.
-
-## Troubleshooting table
-
-| Symptom | What to inspect | Common fix |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Agent answers without calling a service | `micro services`, direct `micro call`, then `micro inspect agent <name>` | Register the service, include it in `micro.AgentServices(...)`, or improve endpoint comments and examples. |
-| Agent loops or burns steps | `micro inspect agent <name> --status error` and wrapper logs | Add or lower `micro.AgentMaxSteps(...)` / `micro.AgentLoopLimit(...)`; move predictable work into a flow. |
-| Tool is refused before it runs | Wrapper logs, `ToolResult.Refused`, `micro inspect agent <name> --status refused` | Update `micro.AgentApproveTool(...)` policy or prompt the user for explicit approval before retrying. |
-| Memory is missing after restart | Agent name, store backend, `WithMemory`, compaction/retrieval settings | Use the default store-backed memory with a persistent store, or persist your custom memory backend. |
-| Flow handoff appears stuck | `micro inspect flow <flow> --pending`, then `micro inspect agent <agent>` | Resume or fail the pending flow run; confirm the dispatched agent completed or timed out. |
-| Provider failed or timed out | `micro inspect agent <name> --status timeout` / `--status rate_limited` | Retry with the same provider/model, raise deadlines where appropriate, or enable provider retries for transient errors. |
-| Tool call appears as assistant text | Agent run history and provider conformance checks | Keep provider packages current; Go Micro normalizes provider-emitted text tool calls, and conformance tests guard this behavior. |
-
-## What to include in a bug report
-
-When you cannot explain the run locally, include:
-
-```sh
-micro inspect agent <agent> --limit 5 --json
-micro inspect flow <flow> --limit 5 --json
-micro services
-micro call <service> <Handler.Method> '{}'
-```
-
-Redact secrets and user data. If you enabled `agent.TraceInputs(true)`, inspect the
-JSON before sharing it because prompts may be present.

-# Your First Agent
-
-This walkthrough builds the smallest useful Go Micro agent path: one service
-with typed endpoints, one agent scoped to that service, and one CLI conversation
-that proves the agent can use the service as a tool. It is the 0→1 version of
-the services → agents → workflows lifecycle: build capability first, add
-intelligence on top, then keep a clear path toward flows when the work needs to
-run on events or schedules.
-
-## Runnable reference first
-
-If you want to run the lifecycle before copying code, start with the maintained support-desk example from the repository root:
-
-```sh
-go run ./examples/support
-```
-
-It uses a deterministic mock model by default, so it needs no provider key, and it exercises the same shape this guide teaches: services become tools, an agent uses them, and a flow can trigger the work. Use this guide when you are ready to build the smaller 0→1 version yourself.
-
-## What you'll build
-
-A tiny task assistant:
-
-1. A `task` service exposes `Create` and `List` endpoints.
-2. An `assistant` agent is scoped to the `task` service.
-3. `micro run` starts both in the local harness.
-4. `micro chat` asks the agent to create and list tasks.
-
-The same service endpoints are normal RPC methods, dashboard/API actions, MCP
-tools, and agent tools. You do not write a second integration layer for the
-agent.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Go 1.24 or newer.
-- The `micro` CLI installed.
-- An LLM provider key for live agent calls. For example:
-
-```sh
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
-```
-
-Plain service calls work without a model key; the key is only needed when the
-agent reasons over tools.
-
-Run the read-only first-agent preflight before starting the walkthrough. The same CLI boundary is covered by CI with `go test ./cmd/micro -run TestFirstAgentWalkthroughCLIBoundaries -count=1`, so the documented scaffold → run → chat → inspect path stays visible in the local harness:
-
-```sh
-micro agent preflight
-```
-
-It checks Go, the `micro` binary, provider-key setup, and the default local gateway port without contacting a provider.
-
-## 1. Create a workspace
-
-```sh
-mkdir first-agent
-cd first-agent
-go mod init example.com/first-agent
-go get go-micro.dev/v6@v6
-```
-
-Add `main.go`:
-
-```go
-package main
-
-import (
-	"context"
-	"fmt"
-	"os"
-	"sync"
-
-	micro "go-micro.dev/v6"
-)
-
-type CreateRequest struct {
-	Title string `json:"title"`
-}
-
-type CreateResponse struct {
-	ID    string `json:"id"`
-	Title string `json:"title"`
-}
-
-type ListRequest struct{}
-
-type ListResponse struct {
-	Tasks []CreateResponse `json:"tasks"`
-}
-
-type TaskService struct {
-	mu    sync.Mutex
-	next  int
-	tasks []CreateResponse
-}
-
-// Create adds a task to the list.
-// @example {"title":"Write first agent guide"}
-func (t *TaskService) Create(ctx context.Context, req *CreateRequest, rsp *CreateResponse) error {
-	t.mu.Lock()
-	defer t.mu.Unlock()
-
-	t.next++
-	*rsp = CreateResponse{ID: fmt.Sprintf("task-%d", t.next), Title: req.Title}
-	t.tasks = append(t.tasks, *rsp)
-	return nil
-}
-
-// List returns all known tasks.
-// @example {}
-func (t *TaskService) List(ctx context.Context, req *ListRequest, rsp *ListResponse) error {
-	t.mu.Lock()
-	defer t.mu.Unlock()
-
-	rsp.Tasks = append([]CreateResponse(nil), t.tasks...)
-	return nil
-}
-
-func main() {
-	service := micro.NewService("task")
-	service.Handle(new(TaskService))
-
-	agent := micro.NewAgent("assistant",
-		micro.AgentServices("task"),
-		micro.AgentPrompt("You help manage tasks. Use the task service before answering."),
-		micro.AgentProvider("anthropic"),
-		micro.AgentAPIKey(os.Getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")),
-	)
-
-	go agent.Run()
-	service.Run()
-}
-```
-
-> Why the comments matter: endpoint comments and `@example` tags become tool
-> descriptions, so the agent has enough context to choose `task.Create` and
-> `task.List` correctly.
-
-## 2. Run the service and agent
-
-From the same directory:
-
-```sh
-micro run
-```
-
-The local harness starts the service, gateway, dashboard, MCP tool surface, and
-agent playground. You can also verify the service directly before involving the
-agent:
-
-```sh
-micro call task TaskService.Create '{"title":"Ship the walkthrough"}'
-micro call task TaskService.List '{}'
-```
-
-## 3. Chat with the agent
-
-In another terminal, ask the agent to use the service:
-
-```sh
-micro chat assistant
-```
-
-Try:
-
-```text
-Create a task called "Review the first-agent walkthrough", then show me all tasks.
-```
-
-A healthy run shows the agent calling the task service and then summarizing the
-result. If the model refuses to call tools, tighten the prompt so it explicitly
-uses the `task` service before answering.
-
-## 4. Know what just happened
-
-- The service registered typed RPC endpoints.
-- Go Micro derived tool descriptions from the endpoint names, comments, request
-  fields, and examples.
-- The agent registered as another service with an `Agent.Chat` endpoint.
-- `micro chat` sent your message to the agent.
-- The agent selected the scoped `task` tools, called them over the same runtime,
-  and stored conversation history in memory.
-
-That is the core lifecycle: services provide capability, agents use the
-capability, and the same runtime can later put the interaction behind a flow.
-
-## 5. Make it a workflow when the path is event-driven
-
-Once the prompt should run because something happened rather than because a
-human typed a message, move the handoff into a flow:
-
-```go
-flow := micro.NewFlow("task-triage",
-	micro.FlowTrigger("tasks.created"),
-	micro.FlowPrompt("Review this new task and decide the next action: {{.Data}}"),
-	micro.FlowProvider("anthropic"),
-	micro.FlowAPIKey(os.Getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")),
-)
-```
-
-Use flows for deterministic triggers and long-running orchestration; keep the
-agent for judgment, tool use, and handoffs when the path is not known up front.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Symptom | Check |
-| --- | --- |
-| The agent says it cannot access tasks. | Confirm the agent was created with `micro.AgentServices("task")` and that `micro agent list` shows `assistant`. |
-| Tool calls use the wrong fields. | Add or improve doc comments and `@example` tags on the service methods. |
-| Plain service calls work but chat fails. | Check that your provider key is exported in the shell that runs `micro run`. |
-| You need a no-secret reference path. | Run `make harness` from the Go Micro repository; it exercises the services → agents → workflows lifecycle with a mock provider. |
-
-## Next steps
-
-- Read the [0→hero reference path](zero-to-hero.html) for the CI-verified
-  lifecycle contract.
-- Run [`examples/support`](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/tree/master/examples/support) for the no-secret 0→hero support-desk lifecycle.
-- Run [`examples/agent-plan-delegate`](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/tree/master/examples/agent-plan-delegate)
-  to see planning and delegation across agents.
-- Read [Debugging your agent](debugging-agents.html) when a chat turn does not call the tool you expected, loops, refuses a call, loses memory, or fails after a flow handoff.
-- Read [Agents and Workflows](agents-and-workflows.html) when you are ready to
-  compose agents behind durable flows.
