 ## Work queue (ranked)

-1. **CI-verify zero-to-hero deploy dry-run path** ([#4309](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4309)) — Developer adoption remains the current goal, and the docs now have a strong no-secret first-agent path; the next adoption gap is making sure the documented scaffold → run → chat → inspect → deploy dry-run lifecycle is continuously verified through the deploy boundary, not just described. This keeps the 0→hero contract honest after the latest provider-boundary resilience work closed.
-2. **Trace agent RunInfo in OpenTelemetry spans** ([#4315](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4315)) — After the Now-phase resilience and getting-started contract gaps, the highest Next-phase operability gap is connecting existing run metadata to traces so real agent runs can be debugged across steps, tool calls, delegation, failures, services, and flows without inventing a new surface.
+1. **Handle AtlasCloud plan-delegate partial tool calls** ([#4431](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4431)) — A current live conformance failure can let AtlasCloud/minimax stop at a partial XML-style tool call, so delegation never produces the required task/notify side effects. This is the highest Now-phase risk because plan/delegate is the core services → agents → workflows seam and must fail or recover deterministically across providers.
+2. **Verify first-agent docs wayfinding stays in lockstep** ([#4441](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4441)) — Developer adoption remains the current goal after the 0→1/0→hero harness landed. Keep README, website guides, examples, and CLI breadcrumbs aligned so the no-secret first-agent path stays discoverable instead of becoming a stale documentation promise.
+3. **Fix AtlasCloud tool streaming capability mismatch** ([#4438](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4438)) — The provider matrix currently advertises AtlasCloud streaming capability beyond its tool-streaming implementation, causing the live agent streaming conformance path to run an unsupported assertion. Fixing the capability/implementation seam keeps streaming honest without blocking no-secret adoption work.
+4. **Broaden provider streaming conformance** ([#4386](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4386)) — Once the provider-specific AtlasCloud mismatch is resolved, expand the broader streaming matrix so chat, agent RPC, and A2A streaming regressions are caught across keyed providers while local CI continues to skip cleanly without secrets.

 ## [Unreleased]

+### 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/`)
+
+### 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/`)
+
+### 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/`)
+
+---
+
+## [6.3.18] - July 2026
+
 ### Added
 - **StreamAsk close cancellation** — agent streaming calls now cancel promptly when their runner closes, avoiding orphaned stream work. (`agent/`)
 - **Agent resume pending helper** — agent durability now has a focused helper for resuming pending checkpointed runs. (`agent/`)
+- **Agent tool retry tracing** — agent traces now include tool retry attempts for easier debugging of retry/fallback behavior. (`agent/`)
+- **Shared-broker universe harness** — the universe harness now runs against the shared broker path, improving coverage of the same runtime wiring used by services, agents, and workflows. (`internal/harness/`)

 ### Fixed
 - **Plan/delegate retry idempotency** — agent retries now preserve side-effect and notification dedupe across conformance retry paths, including completion and owner-notification edge cases. (`agent/`, `internal/harness/`)
+- **AtlasCloud text tool calls** — AtlasCloud fallback handling now recovers more text-rendered tool calls from OpenAI-compatible responses. (`ai/atlascloud/`, `agent/`)
+- **OpenAI-compatible text tool calls** — OpenAI-compatible providers now recover text-rendered tool calls more reliably. (`agent/`)
+- **AtlasCloud multi-step follow-ups** — AtlasCloud tool fallback handling now continues multi-step tool follow-up paths more reliably. (`ai/atlascloud/`, `agent/`)
+
+### Documentation
+- **Agent debugging quickcheck** — docs now include a focused quickcheck path for first-agent debugging. (`internal/website/docs/`)
+- **Website first-agent examples map** — website docs now link the maintained examples wayfinding map for the first-agent route. (`internal/website/docs/`)
+- **Examples wayfinding index** — examples docs now provide a central map for first-agent, support, and interop examples. (`examples/`, `internal/website/docs/`)

+- **Durable agent loop** — opt-in `Checkpoint` support lets agent `Ask` and
+  streaming runs persist, list pending work, and resume without replaying completed
+  tool calls. Human-input pauses resume through explicit input helpers.

 ## Next — agentic depth

- **Durable agent loop** — resume a long run via `Checkpoint` (flows already do).
 - **Streaming** — broaden provider-backed `ai.Stream` coverage and keep chat/A2A streaming end to end.
- **Agent observability** — `RunInfo` → OpenTelemetry spans.
+- **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

+
+# What's New in Go Micro: v6.3.15
+
+*July 5, 2026 • By the Go Micro Team*
+
+Go Micro v6.3.15 is a small but useful harness release: less friction for the first agent, better streaming provider coverage, and more reliable execution when models and delegates do not behave perfectly.
+
+## Anthropic now streams
+
+The Anthropic provider now supports Messages SSE streaming and is registered as a streaming-capable provider. That means Go Micro agents can use Anthropic in the same streaming path as the other streaming-capable providers, with request/response parser coverage and provider capability docs kept in sync.
+
+## The first-agent path is easier to start
+
+The on-ramp now has a smallest runnable first-agent example: a mock-model, no-secret agent you can run before adding provider keys. The CLI and docs also point new users toward the maintained first-agent path after scaffold/run milestones, so the next step after a service is clearer: run the example, build the agent, debug it, then walk the 0→hero services → agents → workflows path.
+
+## Plan/delegate is more deterministic
+
+Plan/delegate runs got another reliability pass. Completed plan steps are preserved, ordering is guarded, notify-before-completion is required in the flow path, and checkpoint continuation is more stable. These are the kinds of harness fixes that matter when an agent does real work over multiple tool calls instead of just answering a prompt.
+
+## Tool-call recovery keeps improving
+
+Provider text tool-call fallback paths now recover more of the awkward cases: tagged calls, `Create`-suffixed calls, mixed text/tool-call output, and AtlasCloud follow-up calls. The goal is pragmatic: when a weaker or non-standard provider emits something close to a tool call, the harness should still make progress when it can do so safely.
+
+## A2A payment groundwork
+
+The A2A gateway now has the shared payment-mandate foundation needed for AP2-style agent payment flows. It is groundwork, not a full product story yet, but it keeps Go Micro's agent interop and paid-tool direction moving together.
+
+## Read the changelog
+
+The full release notes are in the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).

 - **Interop** — the MCP gateway (services as tools) and the A2A gateway (agents as agents, both directions, including A2A streaming, push notifications, and multi-turn continuation), both generated from the registry; x402 for paid tools.

+## Shipped agent depth

+- **Durable agent loop.** Opt-in `Checkpoint` support now lets agent `Ask` and
+  streaming runs persist, list pending work, and resume without replaying completed
+  tool calls. Human-input pauses resume through explicit input helpers.
+- **Agent observability.** `RunInfo` now feeds OpenTelemetry spans and events for

+  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.
- **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.
+- **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
