* docs: compare Go Micro with Google ADK in the comparison guide
Adds a 'vs Agent Frameworks (Google ADK)' section: ADK builds an agent,
Go Micro builds the distributed system the agent lives in (agents are
services in the mesh). Covers the category difference, a feature table,
when to choose each, and MCP/A2A interoperability.

* docs: replace ADK comparison slogan with concrete explanation
State plainly what each tool provides (ADK builds an agent process; Go Micro
builds the surrounding service mesh) instead of marketing phrasing.
* lint: apply golangci-lint autofixes; exclude ST1003 and demo errcheck
Mechanical, behaviour-preserving fixes applied by 'golangci-lint run --fix':
gofmt, misspell (US spelling), usestdlibvars (http.Method*/Status*), unconvert,
and the auto-fixable staticcheck simplifications (QF*, S1017/S1019/S1023/S1039).
Config: exclude ST1003 (remaining offenders are exported API renames, e.g.
web.Id, which would break compatibility) and skip errcheck for examples/ and
internal/harness/ (demo code where fire-and-forget is intentional).
Build and test compilation verified.

* lint: WIP cleanup checkpoint (errcheck config + partial fixes)
Checkpoint of an in-progress golangci-lint cleanup (background pass). Builds
cleanly; lint is not yet zero. Follow-up commit will complete the cleanup and
switch CI to a blocking full-tree lint.

* 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.

* feat(mcp): advertise x402 payment requirements in the tool catalog
/mcp/tools now includes each priced tool's payment requirements (amount,
network, asset, payTo) when payments are enabled, so an agent can see the
cost before calling and choose by price — a shoppable catalog, the
foundation for a tool marketplace. Free tools carry no payment block; the
shared Tool struct is copied when pricing so it isn't mutated. Tests cover
priced/free tools and payments-disabled. Documented in the payments guide.
* feat(x402): consumer client with a spend budget (pay-and-retry)
Add x402.Client, the consumer counterpart to Middleware: it settles 402
challenges automatically via a pluggable Payer, up to a spend Budget. A
call that would exceed the budget is refused before any payment is made,
and spend accumulates across calls — the spend cap that keeps an
autonomous, paying caller in bounds. Tests cover pay-within-budget,
refuse-over-budget, budget accumulation, and free endpoints, end to end
against the server Middleware with a mock facilitator and payer. Guide
documents the consumer side; agent-level AgentMaxSpend is the next step.
* chore: gofmt gateway/mcp/benchmark_test.go (trailing newline)
