 ## Work queue (ranked)
 
-1. **Make micro new zero-to-one contract offline** ([#4463](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4463)) — The current developer-adoption gate can fail before a new user reaches an agent: `micro new` runs `go mod tidy` against the public Go proxy before the contract test rewrites the module to the local checkout. Fix this first because the no-secret scaffold → run → call path is the 0→1 contract and must be deterministic in CI and constrained environments.
-2. **Fix AtlasCloud tool streaming capability mismatch** ([#4438](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4438)) — The provider matrix still 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.
-3. **Broaden provider streaming conformance** ([#4386](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4386)) — Once the provider-specific AtlasCloud failures are 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.
+1. **Link examples wayfinding from website getting-started path** ([#4241](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4241)) — top adoption gap after the examples index shipped and AtlasCloud notify follow-ups were fixed: the README and CLI now point at the first-agent/0→hero map, but go-micro.dev getting-started and quickstart still need the examples index/support reference links that make the no-secret on-ramp discoverable.
+2. **Make AtlasCloud guarded delegation pass reliably** ([#4244](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4244)) — Now-phase cross-provider conformance remains important after the Minimax request-shape fallback, duplicate delegated-notification replay fixes, OpenAI-compatible text tool-call parsing, and AtlasCloud multi-step follow-up fixes shipped; keep it in queue until the live agent harness consistently observes the guarded delegate within the retry budget.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
-### 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/`)
-
-### Changed
-- **Provider model call timeouts** — model call timeout enforcement now wraps provider calls more defensively, reducing hangs in agent and harness paths. (`agent/`, `ai/`)
-- **First-agent harness diagnostics** — getting-started harness logs now make first-run and 0→hero failures easier to locate. (`internal/harness/`)
-
-### Fixed
-- **Partial text tool calls** — text tool-call recovery now repairs partial function-style calls more reliably before fallback parsing continues. (`agent/`)
-- **Retry timeout test stability** — retry timeout coverage is less race-prone. (`agent/`)
-- **Checkpointed tool-call resume** — resumed agent runs now preserve checkpointed tool calls across startup resume paths. (`agent/`)
-
-### Documentation
-- **Roadmap agent status** — public roadmap docs now reflect the current agent lifecycle status more consistently. (`internal/website/docs/`)
-- **Agent resume limits** — docs now describe checkpoint resume boundaries for agent runs. (`internal/website/docs/`)
-
----
-
-## [6.4.0] - July 2026
-
-### 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/`)
-- **Zero-to-hero deploy dry-run verification** — the maintained 0→hero harness now covers deploy dry-run boundaries for the services → agents → workflows lifecycle. (`internal/harness/`)
-- **First-agent CLI wayfinding verification** — the harness now checks that first-agent CLI wayfinding stays discoverable. (`internal/harness/`)
-- **Agent startup resume verification** — agent startup resume now has focused checkpoint coverage. (`agent/`, `internal/harness/`)
-- **Direct first-agent chat prompts** — first-agent flows can accept direct chat prompts, reducing friction in the first useful conversation. (`cmd/micro/`, `agent/`)
-- **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/`)

----
-
-## [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/`)

-- **Durable agent loop** — opt-in `Checkpoint` support lets agent `Ask` and

+- **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.
-- **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.

-# 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).

-- **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

-- **Observability hardening.** Keep span attributes and run inspection coherent
-  across agents, flows, and gateways as more providers and workflow paths are
