 ## 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. **Normalize provider error status in agent inspection** ([#4777](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4777)) — #4775 closed the retry/timeout controls gap, so the next highest-value user-facing gap is operability when a provider still fails: classify timeout, cancellation, rate-limit, auth/configuration, and transient provider errors into stable RunInfo/inspect/tracing details so developers know whether to retry, fix credentials, raise deadlines, or wait out an outage without changing provider public APIs.

+AVOID DIMINISHING-RETURNS CHURN — this is the most important judgment you make. Before ranking anything, ask: *would a real user notice this, or is it the loop grooming itself?* Do NOT queue: another regression-guard/breadcrumb/"verify the docs stay linked" test around docs the loop already wrote; the Nth robustness workaround for a weak provider's malformed output (e.g. AtlasCloud text-tool-call repair) once the agent already tolerates that class; another variation of a subsystem that has been hardened several times recently (e.g. plan/delegate notify/side-effect edge cases). If an area has had several increments with no user-visible gain, it is DONE for now — mark further work there `needs-human` and rank something with real headroom instead (new capability in gateway/flow/model/store, interop depth, observability). A full queue is not the goal; a queue of things that matter is.

-OUTPUT: post a concise assessment as a comment on this issue (#__ISSUE__) — what shipped, what's in flight, the top risks/gaps, and the reasoning behind the ranking. If the ranking actually changed, open ONE PR for `.github/loop/PRIORITIES.md`: `git switch -c codex/planner-__ISSUE__`, `git push -u origin codex/planner-__ISSUE__`, `gh pr create --base master --label codex --title "<title>" --body "<summary, Closes #__ISSUE__>"`, then `gh pr merge --squash --auto --delete-branch`. If the queue is already accurate, just close this issue (`gh issue close __ISSUE__`).

+OUTPUT — default to NOT committing. Post a concise assessment as a comment on this issue (#__ISSUE__): what shipped, what's in flight, the top real gaps, and — honestly — whether the recent increments have been high-value or busy-work. Then, in almost all cases, just close this issue (`gh issue close __ISSUE__`) with NO PR.

+Open a PR for `.github/loop/PRIORITIES.md` ONLY when the change is MATERIAL — meaning it changes what the builder builds next: (a) the top open item changes, (b) an item is added or removed, or (c) a top item's issue closed and must be dropped. Do NOT open a PR to reorder items below the top, reword descriptions, refresh notes, or "keep it current" — a re-rank that doesn't change the next build is not worth a commit, and this churn is the loop's single biggest waste.

+
+# What's New in Go Micro: v6.6.0
+
+*July 11, 2026 • By the Go Micro Team*
+
+Go Micro v6.6.0 is a harness reliability release. The theme is the same services → agents → workflows lifecycle, but with more of the first-agent path covered by local checks and more recovery paths made deterministic when agents resume, retry, delegate, or notify.
+
+## The first-agent path is harder to break
+
+The README, website docs, examples, and 0→hero guide chain now have more harness coverage. The CLI and docs keep the path from install troubleshooting through `micro agent demo`, quickcheck, examples, the smallest first-agent, debugging, and 0→hero in one consistent order.
+
+That matters because the first agent is where framework promises become real: scaffold a service, run it, chat with an agent, inspect what happened, and then graduate to workflows.
+
+## Plan/delegate recovery is steadier
+
+Plan/delegate got another reliability pass across side effects, notification replay, plan-only actions, timeout completion, and completed-plan recovery. These fixes are not flashy, but they are exactly the kind of harness work that keeps an agent from repeating work or losing state when a multi-step run is interrupted.
+
+## Provider fallback keeps improving
+
+AtlasCloud fallback handling now recovers more awkward provider outputs, including workspace repair calls, empty-argument text tool calls, spoken notification replays, and A2A fallback artifact text. The goal is pragmatic interop: when a provider response is close enough to a safe tool call, the harness should repair it; when it is not, the failure should stay visible.
+
+## Security checks joined the loop
+
+CI now includes a govulncheck gate and the autonomous loop can route vulnerability failures into triage. The release also includes toolchain and dependency updates for reachable CVEs, keeping the service framework side of the harness current while agent features continue to land.
+
+## Read the changelog
+
+The full release notes are in the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).

-`Payer` is an interface (`Pay(ctx, Requirements) (payment string, error)`) — the consumer counterpart to `Facilitator`.

Budget is reserved before payment is created, which means parallel paid calls cannot race past the cap; if payment creation or verification fails, the reservation is released.

+`AgentMaxSpend` is disabled by default (`0`). `AgentToolSpend` records the price discovered from your shoppable MCP/x402 catalog for the tools this agent may call.

Asim Aslam	85374c6401	loop: cut planner bookkeeping churn + cap diminishing-returns conformance work (#4731 ) An assessment of the last 100 commits found ~45% were pure "refresh planner priorities" bookkeeping and much of the rest was thrashing on one weak provider (AtlasCloud text-tool-call repair) and guarding docs the loop already wrote — motion, not progress. Two prompt-policy fixes: PLANNER (planner.md): - Default to NOT committing. Post the assessment and close the issue; open a PRIORITIES.md PR ONLY when the change is MATERIAL (top item changes, an item is added/removed, or a top item's issue closed). No PRs for reorders below the top, reword, or "keep it current" — that churn was the loop's #1 waste. - Add a diminishing-returns guard: don't queue the Nth doc-guard or the Nth robustness workaround for an already-tolerated class; mark exhausted areas needs-human and rank real-headroom capability instead. TRIAGE (triage.md): - Cap the AtlasCloud/plan-delegate tail-chase: another instance of a class the agent already tolerates is NOT filed as a routine patch — comment "recurred — capped" and, if worth more, needs-human. Real regressions (lint/tests/ govulncheck on master) and genuinely new defects still get filed. Prompt-only; reversible. Steers the loop toward outcomes over busy-work.

It had no callers anywhere in the repo. Remove it; users should import `go-micro.dev/v6/flow` directly (identical types/functions). Classified as a Removed (breaking) change in the CHANGELOG since it deletes a public import path — see the PR for the versioning note.
