* test(harness): read agent plan from the scoped store
The store-scoping change moved an agent's plan from the default table
key agent/{name}/plan to its own table (database "agent", table {name},
key "plan"). The plan-delegate harness tests still read the old key and
failed with 'not found'; read through store.Scope(mem, "agent", name)
like the agent does.
* docs: orient agents-first across README, landing, and docs overview
Lead with agents (then services and flows), surface MCP + A2A as the
interop story, and frame agents as services. Landing hero and feature
grid reordered agents-first with an A2A gateway card.
* v6: module path go-micro.dev/v6, TLS secure by default, NewService
Cut v6. Three breaking changes, bundled so the major bump is paid once:
- Module path go-micro.dev/v5 -> go-micro.dev/v6 across all imports + go.mod.
- TLS verification on by default (was off). MICRO_TLS_SECURE removed;
MICRO_TLS_INSECURE=true opts out for self-signed/dev.
- micro.NewService(name, opts...) is the canonical service constructor,
symmetric with NewAgent/NewFlow; micro.New kept as a deprecated alias;
the old name-less NewService(opts...) removed. Generators emit NewService.
Also ports the JWT auth token provider in-module (go-micro.dev/v6/auth/jwt/token
on golang-jwt/jwt/v5), dropping the v5-pinned github.com/micro/plugins/v5/auth/jwt
and the deprecated dgrijalva/jwt-go.
Docs/README/landing updated to v6 and @latest; v5->v6 migration guide added;
CHANGELOG cut as [6.0.0]. Blog posts left at their historical versions.

* perf: convert generated PNGs to optimized JPEGs (12MB -> 1.5MB)
The landing and docs loaded 18 AI-generated PNGs at 0.5-1MB each. They're
1200x800 RGB illustrations with no transparency, so they recompress ~8x
as progressive JPEG (quality 82) with no visible loss. Convert all,
update every reference (.png -> .jpg), and drop the originals (including
the unused hero.png). Generated images: 12.3MB -> 1.5MB.
* fix(registry/etcd): re-register when a lease silently expires (#2956)
The keepalive rework (long-lived KeepAlive instead of KeepAliveOnce)
moved lease renewal entirely onto the keepalive goroutine; the 30s
periodic Register now skips on the 'unchanged' check. The goroutine only
reacted to the keepalive channel closing, so a lease that expired
server-side without a prompt channel close (e.g. a partition that
outlasted the 90s TTL) left the node de-registered from etcd while the
cache still believed it was registered — and nothing re-registered it.
That is the hidden-failure mode reported in #2956.
React to a non-positive TTL keepalive response the same as a channel
close: drop the cached lease/hash so the next Register performs a full
re-registration. Extract the loop into keepAliveLoop and unit-test the
TTL-expired, channel-closed, and healthy paths (no etcd required).

* feat: expose framework primitives via API gateway and MCP
Add registry, store, and broker as both HTTP routes and MCP tools
so AI agents and HTTP clients can inspect and operate the framework.
API gateway (/micro/* namespace):
GET /micro/registry List registered services
GET /micro/registry/{name} Describe a service
GET /micro/store List store keys
GET /micro/store/{key} Read a record
POST /micro/store/{key} Write a record
POST /micro/broker/{topic} Publish a message
MCP gateway (micro_* tool prefix):
micro_registry_list List services
micro_registry_get Describe a service
micro_store_list List keys
micro_store_read Read a record
micro_store_write Write a record
micro_broker_publish Publish a message
Framework tools use a Handler field on the MCP Tool struct for
direct dispatch (no RPC). Service tools continue to use RPC.
Rate limiters and circuit breakers are applied to framework
tools the same as service tools.
* fix: make framework internals opt-in on API and MCP gateways
Framework primitives (registry, broker, store) are now only
exposed when explicitly enabled:
API gateway: micro api --internal
MCP gateway: Options{Internal: true}
Off by default — user services are always exposed, framework
internals require the flag. Banner output only shows framework
routes when enabled.
* fix: always expose framework internals, gate by auth in production
Revert the --internal flag approach. Framework primitives (registry,
broker, store) are now always exposed:
- micro api: /micro/* routes always available (dev tool)
- MCP gateway: micro_* tools always registered. When Auth is
configured (production), they require micro:admin scope.
Without Auth (dev), they're open — same as all other tools.
This follows the existing pattern: micro run/api = dev (open),
micro server = production (auth + scopes). Framework internals
follow the same security model as user services.
Remove the Internal option from MCP Options. Remove --internal
flag from micro api.
Note: scope persistence depends on the store backend. The default
in-memory store does not survive restarts. Use MICRO_STORE=file
for persistent scopes in production.
* fix: correct DefaultStore comment — it's file-backed, not memory
* fix(server): don't recreate deleted admin user on restart
When the default admin account is deleted via the dashboard, set
a marker key (auth/.admin-deleted) in the store. On startup, skip
admin creation if the marker exists. This prevents the default
admin/micro credentials from reappearing after restart when the
user has intentionally removed them.
* fix: improve agent playground first-run UX and fix doc 404s
Agent playground:
- Add setup hint in empty state explaining how to get started
(click Settings, enter API key, type a prompt)
- Hide hint automatically when API key is already configured
- Add all 7 providers to dropdown (was only OpenAI + Anthropic)
- Include CLI fallback suggestion (micro chat)
Docs:
- Fix .md links to .html across all doc pages — Jekyll serves
.html files, not .md. Fixes 404s including the micro run guide.

* feat(website): redesign docs and blog layouts, add blog header images
Redesign both layouts to match the new landing page:
- Consistent nav bar with logo, Docs, Blog, GitHub, Reference, Home
- Consistent footer with copyright and links
- CSS custom properties for theming
- Updated typography, spacing, and code block styling
- Active sidebar link highlighting in docs
- Dark mode support preserved
Generate 4 blog header images via Atlas Cloud:
- blog-deploy.png for post 1 (micro deploy)
- blog-mcp.png for posts 2, 3, 7 (MCP-related)
- blog-agents-demo.png for post 4 (agents demo)
- blog-dx.png for post 5 (DX cleanup)
- Reuse data-model.png for post 6 (model package)
All 7 existing blog posts now have header images.
* fix(website): prevent horizontal scroll on mobile landing page
Add overflow-x: hidden on html and body. Set max-width: 100% and
height: auto on all section and two-col images. Add overflow:
hidden to .two-col grid. Constrain hero pre with max-width and
overflow-x. Reduce font sizes and padding at mobile breakpoint.
* feat(website): add images to remaining core doc pages
Generate 5 more images via Atlas Cloud for docs:
- registry.png: service discovery diagram
- broker.png: pub/sub message broker pattern
- transport.png: multi-transport layers (HTTP, gRPC, NATS)
- config.png: dynamic configuration from multiple sources
- observability.png: monitoring dashboard with metrics/traces
Add images to registry.md, broker.md, transport.md, config.md,
observability.md, and architecture.md. All 11 main doc pages
now have header images.
* feat: add sponsor logos to landing page, README images, and flows blog post
Add Anthropic and Atlas Cloud sponsor logos to the landing page
with links to their respective blog posts. Logos display at 0.7
opacity with hover effect.
Add architecture and MCP agent images to the GitHub README for
the Overview and MCP sections.
Write blog post 9: "From Chat to Flows" — explores the concept
of LLM-powered service orchestration. Compares micro chat's
interactive model with persistent event-driven flows, shows how
the existing building blocks (ai/tools, History, broker) could
compose into a flow engine, discusses tradeoffs vs traditional
orchestration (Step Functions, Temporal), and includes a working
15-line code example. Explicitly positions it as a concept for
community feedback, not an announcement.
* feat(website): add animated hero video to landing page
Generate a 6-second hero video via Atlas Cloud's image-to-video
API (gemini-omni-flash). Shows the microservices network diagram
animating with data flowing between nodes.
Replace the static hero image with an autoplay muted looping
video element. Falls back to the static image via poster
attribute and img fallback for browsers without video support.
* feat(ai): add VideoModel interface with Atlas Cloud provider
Add ai.VideoModel interface for video generation alongside Model
and ImageModel. Supports text-to-video and image-to-video via
VideoRequest with prompt, reference images, duration, aspect
ratio, and resolution fields.
Implement GenerateVideo for Atlas Cloud using their async API:
POST /api/v1/model/generateVideo → poll /api/v1/model/prediction.
Default model is gemini-omni-flash image-to-video. Polls every
5 seconds until completion or context cancellation.
Register Atlas Cloud as a video provider via ai.RegisterVideo.
Add 3 tests: registration, no-key error, compile-time interface
check. Update ai/README.md with VideoModel docs.
The ai package now covers all three modalities:
- Model (text) — 7 providers
- ImageModel (image) — 2 providers (Atlas Cloud, OpenAI)
- VideoModel (video) — 1 provider (Atlas Cloud)
