The README and examples teach a simple pattern using plain Go structs
and JSON encoding, but `micro new` only generated protobuf services
requiring protoc. This mismatch was the biggest DX gap for new users.
Now `micro new helloworld` generates a single-file service using plain
Go structs — no protobuf, no code generation, no external tools. Just Go.
Use `micro new --proto helloworld` for the previous protobuf behavior.
- Add simple mode templates (main.go, Makefile, README, go.mod)
- Make simple mode the default, add --proto flag for protobuf
- Add tests for template parsing and service generation
- Move protoc check to only run when --proto is used

* feat: add agent demo example and blog post
Add examples/agent-demo with a multi-service project management app
(projects, tasks, team) that demonstrates AI agents interacting with
Go Micro services through MCP. Includes seed data and example prompts.
Add blog post 4 "Agents Meet Microservices: A Hands-On Demo" walking
through the example code and showing cross-service agent workflows.

* feat: enable multiple services in a single binary
Remove global state mutations from service and cmd option functions so
that configuring one service no longer overwrites another's settings.
Key changes:
- service/options.go: remove all DefaultXxx global writes from option
functions; newOptions() now creates fresh Server, Client, Store, and
Cache per service while sharing Registry, Broker, and Transport
- cmd/cmd.go: newCmd() uses local copies instead of pointers to package
globals; Before() no longer mutates DefaultXxx vars
- cmd/options.go: remove global mutations from all option functions
- service/service.go: export ServiceImpl type for cross-package use
- service/group.go: new Group type for multi-service lifecycle
- micro.go: add Start/Stop to Service interface, expose Group and
NewGroup convenience function
- examples/multi-service: working example with two services
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* docs: highlight multi-service binary support
Add multi-service section to README with code example, update features
list, add to examples index, and note in status summary.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: unify service API and clean up developer experience
- Unified service creation: micro.New("name", opts...) as canonical API
- Clean handler registration: service.Handle(handler, opts...) accepts
server.HandlerOption args directly, no need to reach through Server()
- Unexported serviceImpl: users interact through Service interface only
- Service groups use Service interface (not concrete type)
- Fixed Stop() to properly propagate BeforeStop/AfterStop errors
- Fixed store init: error-level log instead of fatal on init failure
- Updated all examples to use consistent patterns
- Updated README, getting-started, MCP docs, and guides
- Added blog post about the DX cleanup
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* fix: add blog post 5 to blog index
Blog post 5 (Developer Experience Cleanup) existed as a file but was
missing from the blog index page.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: make micro new generate MCP-enabled services by default
- main.go template includes mcp.WithMCP(":3001") by default
- Handler template has agent-friendly doc comments with @example tags
- Proto template has descriptive field comments
- README includes MCP usage, Claude Code config, and tool description tips
- Makefile adds mcp-tools, mcp-test, mcp-serve targets
- go.mod updated to Go 1.22
- Added --no-mcp flag to opt out of MCP integration
- Post-create output shows MCP endpoint URLs

* fix: remove deprecated rand.Seed calls
Go 1.20+ automatically seeds the global random number generator.
These calls are no-ops and generate warnings with newer Go versions.
Removed from:
- selector/strategy.go
- registry/cache/cache.go
- broker/memory.go
- broker/http.go
- cmd/cmd.go
- transport/memory.go

* fix: handle previously ignored errors
- MySQL store: properly handle prepared statement errors in initDB()
- Consul registry: handle client creation errors in Client() method
These silent failures could cause hard-to-debug issues in production.

* feat(genai): improve provider interface with context and streaming
Breaking changes:
- Generate() and Stream() now require context.Context as first parameter
- Stream.Close() added for proper resource cleanup
Improvements:
- Proper context support for cancellation and timeouts
- Real SSE streaming for OpenAI and Gemini text generation
- Better error handling with wrapped errors and API error responses
- Thread-safe provider registry with sync.RWMutex
- New options: WithMaxTokens, WithTemperature, WithTimeout
- Stream has proper Close() method for cleanup
- Results can include Error field for per-chunk errors
Provider updates:
- OpenAI: true streaming with SSE parsing, proper HTTP client with timeout
- Gemini: true streaming with streamGenerateContent endpoint
- Default model updated to gpt-4o-mini (OpenAI) and gemini-2.0-flash (Gemini)

* feat(tls): make TLS secure by default, configurable via environment
BREAKING: TLS now verifies certificates by default. Set MICRO_TLS_INSECURE=true
to restore previous behavior (NOT recommended for production).
Changes:
- Add util/tls.Config(), SecureConfig(), InsecureConfig(), ConfigFromEnv() helpers
- Update all components to use ConfigFromEnv() instead of hardcoded InsecureSkipVerify
- Set MinVersion to TLS 1.2 for all TLS configs
Affected components:
- broker/http
- broker/rabbitmq
- registry/etcd
- registry/consul
- transport/grpc
This improves security posture while allowing opt-out for development environments.

* feat(tls): add TLS helpers with opt-in secure mode
NOT a breaking change - keeps InsecureSkipVerify=true as default for
local development compatibility.
New util/tls helpers:
- Config() - returns config based on MICRO_TLS_SECURE env var
- SecureConfig() - certificate verification enabled
- InsecureConfig() - certificate verification disabled (dev only)
For production security, use one of:
- Set MICRO_TLS_SECURE=true with proper CA-signed certs
- Use a service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) for automatic mTLS
- Configure TLSConfig directly with your certificates
Also: Changed CLI alias from 'g' to 'gen' for clarity
- micro generate handler -> micro gen handler
Co-authored-by: Shelley <shelley@exe.dev>
* refactor(cli): rename generate directory to gen for consistency
Directory name now matches the command alias:
cmd/micro/cli/gen/ -> micro gen handler
