Repair partial text tool calls

 ## Work queue (ranked)
 
-1. **Add first-agent docs command parity check** ([#4495](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4495)) — The current adoption goal says the queue must not collapse into internal hardening only. README, website docs, and recent blog posts now tell a coherent no-secret first-agent story (`micro agent demo` → examples → zero-to-hero), but that story can drift from CLI output and maintained example paths. Add a provider-free, CI-verifiable parity check so the 0→1/0→hero on-ramp remains walkable as the CLI and docs evolve.
-2. **Add agent model retry/backoff contract** ([#4500](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4500)) — With the AtlasCloud missing-marker conformance gap closed by #4498, the highest-value remaining Now-phase hardening gap is provider-free coverage for transient model failures, retry budgets, backoff, and cancellation in the agent loop. This keeps cross-provider reliability moving without pushing another live-provider-only task ahead of the adoption on-ramp.
+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
-- **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/`)
