* 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.

Restructure ai.ToolHandler to the structured, ctx-carrying shape that
mirrors a go-micro RPC handler:
func(ctx context.Context, call ai.ToolCall) ai.ToolResult
This reuses the existing ToolCall (with its correlation ID) and
ToolResult types instead of the flat (name, input)->(any, string)
signature, and adds ToolCall.Scan for typed argument access.
Add ai.ToolWrapper and the agent option WrapTool / micro.AgentWrapTool —
the tool-side analogue of client.CallWrapper and server.HandlerWrapper.
Reframe the built-in guardrails (MaxSteps, LoopLimit, ApproveTool) as
composed wrappers around a base handler; developer wrappers compose
outermost, so they observe every call and result, including refusals.
Update all provider call sites, the MCP server and chat handlers, the
integration harnesses, and docs to the new signature.

* docs: group README features by section (AI / Framework / DX)
The features table repeated 'AI' down the Category column. Split into
three grouped tables — AI, Framework, Developer experience & deployment —
dropping the repetitive column. Adds a Guardrails row (MaxSteps,
ApproveTool).
* test: flow-to-agent end-to-end in the harness
Proves 'Flow triggers, Agent reasons': a workflow with FlowAgent hands an
event to the registered conductor agent over RPC, which plans, creates
tasks, and delegates to comms — the whole chain over real RPC with only
the LLM mocked. Deterministic (shared in-memory registry, no sleeps),
passes under -race.
* blog: 'The Evolution of Microservices' (#19)
A technical history of distributed-systems eras — the monolith's
coordination cost, the distributed-systems tax, containers and
declarative orchestration, the service mesh, and the modular-monolith
correction — establishing the durable unit (named, typed, discoverable,
independently deployable) that every runtime wave required. Then the
technical argument for agents: an LLM tool call needs exactly a service
interface, so the caller shifts from deterministic code to a reasoner
that composes typed capabilities from intent, with the honest caveats
(non-determinism, cost, guardrails). Not a product pitch.

* rename coordinator agent to conductor in example and docs
* add plan & delegate integration harness
Runs the real go-micro stack end to end — services, registry, RPC, the
agent loop, store, and delegate-first routing — with only the LLM mocked
by a deterministic provider. Proves discovery, tool execution, plan
persistence, and agent-to-agent delegation over RPC work without an API
key; swap the provider to run the same flow against a live model.
* test: deterministic CI integration test + provider flag for harness
- main_test.go: TestPlanDelegateEndToEnd drives the full real stack
(services, RPC, agent loop, store, delegate-first routing) over a
shared in-memory registry — no mDNS, no sleeps. Asserts 3 tasks
created via RPC, plan persisted to the store, and delegation reaching
the comms agent (notify called once). Passes under -race, ~0.03s.
- main.go: add -provider flag (defaults to mock) and key detection so the
same harness runs against a live model with no code change.
* chore: gitignore built harness/example binaries
