Fixes#2988. Brings 'golangci-lint run ./...' to zero issues (was ~373):
- errcheck: explicitly ignore fire-and-forget calls with '_ =' (and a small
errcheck.exclude-functions list for response writes — json Encoder.Encode,
http ResponseWriter.Write, fmt.Fprint*); genuine cases handled.
- unused: remove dead code (unexported decls and dead test helpers) and the
imports they orphaned.
- staticcheck: ST1005 error strings, ST1016 receiver names, S1000/S1017/S1019/
S1023 simplifications, SA4004/SA4006/SA4010 dead code, SA1021 net.IP.Equal,
SA6002 (store *[]byte in sync.Pool).
- govet: fix a context leak (lostcancel) in internal/util/mdns and move
t.Fatal/Fatalf out of goroutines (testinggoroutine) in tests.
- ineffassign, unconvert: mechanical fixes.
CI: the Lint workflow now runs a blocking full-tree 'golangci-lint run' on
pushes and PRs (dropped only-new-issues now that the tree is clean).
Verified: go build, go vet, test compilation, and unit tests for the
behaviourally-touched packages all pass.

* 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.

* docs: add 'become a sponsor' call-to-action linking to Discord
Now that there are a couple of sponsors, invite more: a short CTA under
the Sponsors section in the README and on the landing page, pointing to
the Discord to get in touch.
* fix(health): remove duplicate RegistryCheck declaration
Two PRs (#2957 and #2958) each added a RegistryCheck to the health
package, leaving the package uncompilable on master (RegistryCheck
redeclared: health/registry.go vs health/health.go). Keep the
health.go implementation — it honors the check's context timeout so a
hung registry (e.g. an unreachable etcd) reports down instead of
blocking the probe — and remove the duplicate registry.go and its test.
registry_check_test.go already covers healthy/down/nil/timeout/not-ready.
* feat(agent): pluggable memory and custom tools
Make agents compose the way services do — pluggable pieces with working
defaults — by adding the two abstractions an agent needs beyond the model:
- Memory: a pluggable interface for conversation memory. The default is
store-backed and durable across restarts (the previous hardcoded
behavior, now behind an interface); supply your own with WithMemory
(in-memory, database, semantic store). NewMemory / NewInMemory provided.
- Custom tools: WithTool registers any function as a tool the agent can
call, so agents are no longer limited to orchestrating RPC services.
Both exposed at the micro package (AgentMemory, AgentTool, NewMemory,
NewInMemory). Behavior-preserving refactor of the agent's history into
the default Memory; tests cover persistence, in-memory, clear, custom
tool dispatch and errors. README + AGENT_DESIGN document the pluggable
composition (model / memory / tools / guardrails).
* blog: 'Doubling Down on Agents' (#20)
The vision post for making agents a first-class framework the way
services were: opinionated, batteries-included, pluggable. Frames an
agent as a composition of model + memory + tools + guardrails with
working defaults; introduces the new pluggable memory and custom tools;
makes the microagents argument (an agent for everything, distributed
like microservices); and lays out the three primitives — services,
agents, workflows — as one substrate, with an honest list of the gaps
still to fill (knowledge/retrieval, streaming, explicit loop).
