* ci: run the architect continuously as the founder lens
Make the architect a continuous overseer (hourly at :59, just before the :29
increment) instead of an every-few-days check-in. Each run it tracks live state
(what merged, what's in flight), keeps the roadmap priorities live, and judges
cohesion across harness/framework/dev-UX plus missing pieces and realignment —
re-ranking internal/docs/PRIORITIES.md to match reality. It only opens a PR when
the ranking actually changes (otherwise it just posts an assessment and closes
its issue), to avoid churn.
* thesis: lead the North Star with the mission, grounded in the canon
Instill the years of context the loop was missing: the vision lives in the
corpus (blog, README, website), not a single doc. Lead THESIS.md with an
explicit Mission — "what problem we solve" (make building an agent as easy as
building a service, on one runtime, because an agent is a distributed system),
distilled from the corpus — and name the blog/README/website as the canon the
North Star is a distillation of and must stay faithful to. Wire the architect to
judge every priority against the mission and re-derive alignment from the canon,
flagging drift in either direction (work vs mission, or thesis vs the blog).

The architect now prioritizes the roadmap + an internal scan into a single
ranked, issue-linked queue in internal/docs/PRIORITIES.md (re-ranked each run),
and the hourly increment loop works the top open item from that queue instead
of independently guessing each hour — falling back to its own judgment only
when the queue is empty. So work is roadmap-driven by default and the human can
redirect by reordering the file or its issues.
- New internal/docs/PRIORITIES.md (seeded from the roadmap + open issues).
- architecture-review.yml: architect owns/re-ranks PRIORITIES.md and keeps each
top item backed by a scoped issue.
- continuous-improvement.yml: pick the top open queue item; close both the
priority issue and the run tracker.
- CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md: document the architect → queue → increment pipeline.

A post on how the framework is increasingly built by an autonomous loop of
two AI agents (Codex implementing scoped increments, Claude Code
orchestrating, the human setting direction): the dispatch→build→auto-merge
mechanism, the three altitudes (architect/increment/DevRel), the failure
modes we hit wiring it up, and the concrete increments it produces.

The hourly loop ships increments but nothing watches the whole. Add two
periodic high-altitude passes, same dispatch mechanism (fresh issue → @codex):
- devrel-review.yml (daily): audits README, website, docs, blog for coherence
with the North Star, README crispness, and blog-worthy material. Safe
alignment/crispness fixes auto-merge; brand/positioning copy and blog drafts
are surfaced in a report for the human, never auto-merged.
- architecture-review.yml (every ~3 days): reviews the framework/harness against
the thesis and files scoped follow-up issues that feed the increment loop. It
does not make breaking/architectural changes itself.
Documented both in CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md (Overseer passes).

The section only mentioned micro run (services) and micro deploy. Update it
to the current lifecycle DX: micro new scaffolds a service or agent (every
endpoint an MCP tool), micro run starts everything with hot reload + gateway
+ console, and micro chat talks to agents and services. Drops micro deploy.

* ci: self-merge Codex PRs via native auto-merge; retire the sweep
With branch protection + "Allow auto-merge" now enabled on master, Codex
enables GitHub auto-merge on its own PR (gh pr merge --squash --auto) right
after opening it, so the PR lands the moment the required CI checks pass —
no polling sweep, and the green-CI gate is enforced by GitHub instead of by
gh pr checks in a cron. Removes auto-merge-codex.yml and updates the dispatch
and AGENTS.md accordingly.

* docs: document the durable loop mechanics (stub→gh, branch, auto-merge)
Capture the hard-won wiring of the autonomous loop so it isn't re-derived:
fresh issue per increment, user-PAT dispatch (Codex ignores the bot), Codex
opening the PR via gh (make_pr is a no-op stub), unique codex/ branch + label,
and native auto-merge gated by branch protection with 0 approvals. Adds a
"do-not-break" list (don't re-add approvals, don't reuse one tracker issue,
don't use make_pr, don't re-implement during the summary→PR lag).

* website: rename section to "Features"; trim subtitle
Rename the feature-grid heading from "The Runtime Around the Agent" to
"Features", and drop "once they leave the demo." from the subtitle.

Add a 'Where we fit' section: 'harness' has two layers — the intra-agent
harness (single-model runtime: prompts, tools, context, sandbox, the Ralph
loop) that LangChain/LangGraph/deepagents/Claude Code own and we do NOT
compete with, and the operational harness (the distributed substrate agents
operate inside: services-as-tools, discovery, durable runs, observability,
interop, the services->agents->workflows lifecycle) which is our focus. They
stack and interoperate via MCP/A2A; we make those agents better neighbours,
not obsolete.

Grid items defaulted to min-width:auto, so the wide <pre> blocks (install
command, the 'micro run' sample) forced their row past the viewport —
clipped by overflow-x:hidden, so no scroll but not fitting either. Let
grid items shrink (.two-col > * { min-width:0 }) and wrap the code blocks
on mobile (white-space:pre-wrap; overflow-wrap:anywhere) so every section
fits the screen with no overflow or scroll.

Replace the docs header 'Menu' button with a ☰ burger icon and move it to the
left next to the wordmark (where the logo used to be), grouped in a .nav-left
container. Keeps id=menuToggle so the existing sidebar-toggle JS still works;
desktop is unchanged (toggle hidden).

Remove the logo image from the nav-brand in the marketing nav include and the
docs and blog layouts; the brand is now just the 'Go Micro' wordmark.

Add internal/docs/THESIS.md — the vision the autonomous loop steers by: a
holistic agent harness AND service framework encapsulating the lifecycle of
services -> agents -> workflows (workloads come after agents; the value is in
composing it into systems that do real work, on schedules and in loops).
Wire it in as the alignment criterion: the continuous-improvement charter and
the Codex dispatch prompt now require every increment to advance the North Star,
so improvements compound toward the thesis instead of drifting locally.
