Stabilize agent-flow side effects

 ## Work queue (ranked)
 
-1. **Ensure AtlasCloud plan-delegate harness persists plan** ([#4665](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4665)) — The zero-to-hero chat/inspect race is fixed, so the highest-value active gap is the live AtlasCloud plan/delegate conformance failure where the conductor completed side effects without persisting the built-in plan. Keep this first because plan/delegate is core to the services → agents → workflows story, and a red live harness weakens both developer trust and the roadmap's cross-provider hardening goal.
-2. **Add scheduled cross-provider agent conformance** ([#4649](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4649)) — Once the active AtlasCloud plan/delegate failure is closed, the Now roadmap still calls for battle-testing the same agent scenario across providers. Verify tool-calling, multi-step turns, plan/delegate, and guardrails on the live-provider matrix behind key-gated scheduled CI, without slowing the local harness.
-3. **Harden agent provider failure resilience** ([#4650](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4650)) — The next reliability seam is making timeouts, cancellation, rate limits, retry/backoff, and inspectable failure metadata predictable through the agent loop. Keep this scoped to existing behavior and tests; surface any breaking API or default changes as human review notes instead of queue work.
+1. **Stabilize AtlasCloud agent-flow onboarding side effects** ([#4503](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4503)) — The live AtlasCloud harness exposed a services → agents → workflows seam where a timeout can replay workspace creation without completing notification. Exact-once side-effect behavior is core to operable workflows and keeps the documented 0→hero story trustworthy once the provider-free adoption contracts hand off to live providers.
+2. **Make AtlasCloud universe A2A reachability probe deterministic** ([#4504](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/issues/4504)) — The universe checkout flow completed, but the A2A reachability probe timed out under AtlasCloud. This matters for cross-framework operability and agent discoverability, yet it ranks after the idempotency issue because durable workflow side effects are the more fundamental services → agents → workflows guarantee.

 ### 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/`)
