docs: refresh planner queue for 4422

.github/loop/PRIORITIES.md

@@ -21,9 +21,8 @@ changes, architectural rewrites. Those go to the human.
 
 ## Work queue (ranked)
 
-1. **CI-verify first-agent docs wayfinding stays in sync** ([#4561](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4561)) — The README, website index/quickstart, examples map, and no-secret first-agent/0→hero docs now tell a stronger adoption story, but the loop needs a small deterministic guard so those surfaces do not drift apart. This is the highest-value open gap because the current goal is developer adoption: the scaffold → run → first agent → debug → 0→hero path must stay walkable and discoverable, not just documented once.
-2. **Ensure AtlasCloud agent-flow sends onboarding notification** ([#4529](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4529)) — The event-driven onboarding flow can create the workspace but miss the required notification before timing out. This remains a direct services → agents → workflows seam and a developer-trust issue for 0→hero because the workflow appears partly successful while a required side effect is absent.
-3. **Make AtlasCloud universe A2A reachability probe deterministic** ([#4504](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4504)) — The universe checkout flow completes, but the A2A reachability probe can time out under AtlasCloud. This still matters for cross-framework operability and agent discoverability, but ranks after side-effect execution gaps because it is currently isolated to post-flow reachability rather than lost business effects.
+1. **Reconcile roadmap status with shipped agent resume and observability** ([#4423](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4423)) — The lived code and recent PRs have moved durable agent checkpoint/resume and RunInfo/OpenTelemetry inspection forward, but the roadmap still reads as if those are wholly future work. Tighten the public status story so developer-adoption wayfinding reflects what actually shipped without turning this into a brand rewrite.
+2. **Broaden provider streaming conformance** ([#4386](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4386)) — The blog says Anthropic streaming shipped, but the roadmap still calls for provider-backed streaming across chat and A2A. Add a focused, provider-gated conformance slice so streaming stays end-to-end rather than becoming a one-provider success story.

-- **Launch readiness notification replays** — launch-readiness notification replay paths now deduplicate repeated side effects. (`agent/`, `internal/harness/`)
-- **Plan-delegate harness cleanup** — plan/delegate harness cleanup is more reliable after conformance runs. (`internal/harness/`)
-- **AtlasCloud spoken notify replays** — AtlasCloud fallback handling now collapses spoken notification replays more consistently. (`ai/atlascloud/`, `agent/`)

-
----
-
-## [6.5.0] - July 2026
-
-### Added
-- **Agent stream provider conformance** — provider conformance now covers agent streaming behavior so streaming-capable providers stay aligned with the harness contract. (`agent/`, `internal/harness/`)
-- **First-agent docs CLI parity check** — the harness now verifies first-agent docs commands match the CLI wayfinding surface. (`internal/harness/`, `internal/website/docs/`)
-- **Focused CLI inner-loop contract** — the local harness now covers scaffold, run/chat/inspect, and deploy dry-run boundaries in one first-run contract. (`internal/harness/`)
-- **First-agent wayfinding breadcrumbs** — first-agent docs and examples now have locked breadcrumb coverage from the README through the runnable examples. (`README.md`, `internal/website/docs/`, `examples/`)
-- **Offline `micro new` contract** — project scaffolding now has an offline contract so the first service path stays runnable without network access. (`cmd/micro/`, `internal/harness/`)
-
-### Changed
-- **Provider model call timeouts** — model call timeout enforcement now wraps provider calls more defensively, reducing hangs in agent and harness paths. (`agent/`, `ai/`)

-
 ### Added
 - **Provider HTTP retry signals** — provider failures now preserve HTTP status and `Retry-After` details so retry classification and backoff can respond to rate limits and unavailable providers. (`ai/`)

-- **Agent startup resume verification** — agent startup resume now has focused checkpoint coverage. (`agent/`, `internal/harness/`)

-- **Workflow run info on tool spans** — agent tool spans now include workflow run details for easier trace correlation. (`agent/`, `flow/`)
 
 ### Fixed
 - **Stream fallback memory** — unsupported streaming attempts no longer leave stale duplicate user turns before fallback paths continue with non-streaming agent calls. (`agent/`)
 - **Function-style text tool calls** — agent fallback parsing now recognizes provider replies that render tools as function-style calls, including nested JSON arguments. (`agent/`)
 - **Plan/delegate notify recovery** — plan-delegate recovery now waits for recovered notify side effects and routes retries through the communications agent that owns the notification. (`internal/harness/`)
-- **Onboarding side-effect enforcement** — the agent-flow harness now fails when required onboarding side effects are missing, making lifecycle regressions visible. (`internal/harness/`)
-- **Plan/delegate notify stability** — notify recovery is more deterministic across retry and replay paths. (`agent/`, `internal/harness/`)
-- **AtlasCloud MiniMax tool fallback** — AtlasCloud MiniMax service-tool fallback now handles 400 responses and follow-up retries more reliably. (`ai/atlascloud/`, `agent/`)
 
 ### Documentation
 - **First-agent docs wayfinding guard** — the local harness now includes a focused no-network check for first-agent and 0→hero docs links. (`Makefile`, `internal/harness/`)

-- **Durable agent loop.** Opt-in `Checkpoint` support now lets agent `Ask` and

-  tool calls. Human-input pauses resume through explicit input helpers.
-- **Agent observability.** `RunInfo` now feeds OpenTelemetry spans and events for
-  agent runs, model turns, tool calls, retries, delegation lineage, and resume
-  checkpoints so production runs are traceable.
-
 ## Next — agentic depth
 
 - **Streaming.** Broaden provider-backed `ai.Stream` coverage and keep chat plus A2A `message/stream` working end to end for real chat and long-task UX.
-- **Resume operations polish.** Keep improving CLI/docs breadcrumbs for finding
-  pending agent runs and deciding whether to call resume, resume-input, or stream
-  resume in production.
-- **Observability hardening.** Keep span attributes and run inspection coherent
-  across agents, flows, and gateways as more providers and workflow paths are
-  exercised.
+- **Agent observability.** Wire the new `RunInfo` into OpenTelemetry spans so a run — steps, tool calls, delegation — is traceable. This is also what anyone running it in production will need.
