* 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: add agent platform showcase and blog post
Add a complete platform example (Users, Posts, Comments, Mail) that
mirrors micro/blog, demonstrating how existing microservices become
AI-accessible through MCP with zero code changes.
Includes blog post "Your Microservices Are Already an AI Platform"
walking through real agent workflows: signup, content creation,
commenting, tagging, and cross-service messaging.

* refactor: rename handler types to drop redundant Service suffix
UserService → Users, PostService → Posts, CommentService → Comments,
MailService → Mail. Matches micro/blog naming convention.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* refactor: consolidate top-level directories, reduce framework bloat
Move internal/non-public packages behind internal/ or into their
parent packages where they belong:
- deploy/ → gateway/mcp/deploy/ (Helm charts belong with the gateway)
- profile/ → service/profile/ (preset plugin profiles are a service concern)
- scripts/ → internal/scripts/ (install script is not public API)
- test/ → internal/test/ (test harness is not public API)
- util/ → internal/util/ (internal helpers shouldn't be imported externally)
Also fixes CLAUDE.md merge conflict markers and updates project
structure documentation.
All import paths updated. Build and tests pass.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* refactor: redesign model package to match framework conventions
Rename model.Database interface to model.Model (consistent with
client.Client, server.Server, store.Store). Remove generics in
favor of interface{}-based API with reflection.
Key changes:
- model.Model interface: Register once, CRUD infers table from type
- DefaultModel + NewModel() + package-level convenience functions
- Schema registered via Register(&User{}), no per-call schema passing
- Memory implementation as default (in model package, like store)
- memory/sqlite/postgres backends updated for new interface
- protoc-gen-micro generates RegisterXModel() instead of generic factory
- All docs, blog, and README updated

* Initial plan
* Apply rate limiting before singleflight to prevent blocking
- Check rate limiting BEFORE entering singleflight
- If rate-limited AND stale cache exists, return stale cache immediately
- This prevents all goroutines from blocking when etcd is down/slow
- Maintains stampede prevention via singleflight for non-rate-limited requests
- All existing tests pass

* Fix variable shadowing in rate limiting check
- Rename shadowed variables to currentLastRefresh and currentMinimumRetryInterval
- Improves code clarity and prevents potential bugs
- All tests still pass

* fix: remove deprecated rand.Seed calls
Go 1.20+ automatically seeds the global random number generator.
These calls are no-ops and generate warnings with newer Go versions.
Removed from:
- selector/strategy.go
- registry/cache/cache.go
- broker/memory.go
- broker/http.go
- cmd/cmd.go
- transport/memory.go

* fix: handle previously ignored errors
- MySQL store: properly handle prepared statement errors in initDB()
- Consul registry: handle client creation errors in Client() method
These silent failures could cause hard-to-debug issues in production.

* feat(genai): improve provider interface with context and streaming
Breaking changes:
- Generate() and Stream() now require context.Context as first parameter
- Stream.Close() added for proper resource cleanup
Improvements:
- Proper context support for cancellation and timeouts
- Real SSE streaming for OpenAI and Gemini text generation
- Better error handling with wrapped errors and API error responses
- Thread-safe provider registry with sync.RWMutex
- New options: WithMaxTokens, WithTemperature, WithTimeout
- Stream has proper Close() method for cleanup
- Results can include Error field for per-chunk errors
Provider updates:
- OpenAI: true streaming with SSE parsing, proper HTTP client with timeout
- Gemini: true streaming with streamGenerateContent endpoint
- Default model updated to gpt-4o-mini (OpenAI) and gemini-2.0-flash (Gemini)

* feat(tls): make TLS secure by default, configurable via environment
BREAKING: TLS now verifies certificates by default. Set MICRO_TLS_INSECURE=true
to restore previous behavior (NOT recommended for production).
Changes:
- Add util/tls.Config(), SecureConfig(), InsecureConfig(), ConfigFromEnv() helpers
- Update all components to use ConfigFromEnv() instead of hardcoded InsecureSkipVerify
- Set MinVersion to TLS 1.2 for all TLS configs
Affected components:
- broker/http
- broker/rabbitmq
- registry/etcd
- registry/consul
- transport/grpc
This improves security posture while allowing opt-out for development environments.

* feat(tls): add TLS helpers with opt-in secure mode
NOT a breaking change - keeps InsecureSkipVerify=true as default for
local development compatibility.
New util/tls helpers:
- Config() - returns config based on MICRO_TLS_SECURE env var
- SecureConfig() - certificate verification enabled
- InsecureConfig() - certificate verification disabled (dev only)
For production security, use one of:
- Set MICRO_TLS_SECURE=true with proper CA-signed certs
- Use a service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) for automatic mTLS
- Configure TLSConfig directly with your certificates
Also: Changed CLI alias from 'g' to 'gen' for clarity
- micro generate handler -> micro gen handler

* refactor(cli): rename generate directory to gen for consistency
Directory name now matches the command alias:
cmd/micro/cli/gen/ -> micro gen handler

* Initial plan
* Enhance cache rate limiting to protect against rolling deployment scenarios
Per @asim's feedback, rate limiting now applies to ALL cache refresh attempts
(not just error cases) to prevent registry overload during rolling deployments.
Changes:
- Rate limit ALL refresh attempts using lastRefreshAttempt tracking
- Always return stale cache if available (even if expired) when rate limiting
- Only return ErrNotFound when no cache exists during rate limit period
- Rate limiting happens inside singleflight to avoid race conditions
- Update test to reflect new behavior (no retry when stale cache + rate limit)
- Enhanced documentation with rolling deployment scenario examples
This addresses the scenario where all upstream services expire their cache
simultaneously during a downstream rolling deployment, which would previously
cause a stampede to the registry under high QPS.

* Remove unused failedAttempts and consecutiveFailures fields
Per @asim's feedback, these fields are no longer needed since the new
rate limiting strategy uses lastRefreshAttempt to track ALL refresh
attempts, not just failed ones.
Removed:
- failedAttempts map[string]time.Time
- consecutiveFailures int
- All code that sets these fields
The rate limiting logic now only uses lastRefreshAttempt, making these
fields redundant. All tests continue to pass.

* Initial plan
* Add adaptive throttling to prevent cache penetration without stale cache
Implement rate limiting mechanism to protect etcd when:
- Cache is empty (no stale data available)
- Registry is failing/overloaded
- Multiple sequential requests arrive
Changes:
- Add MinimumRetryInterval option (default 5s)
- Track last failed attempt time per service
- Throttle requests within retry interval when no cache exists
- Clear throttling on successful lookup
- Add comprehensive tests validating throttling behavior

* Fix WaitGroup race condition in events stream tests
The WaitGroup.Add() calls were happening after goroutines started,
causing a race where Done() could be called before Add(), resulting
in "negative WaitGroup counter" panics.
Fixes:
- Move wg.Add(1) before goroutine in TestConsumeTopic
- Move wg.Add(2) before first goroutine in TestConsumeGroup

* Update registry cache documentation with adaptive throttling feature
Document the new adaptive throttling feature that prevents cache
penetration when registry is failing and no stale cache exists.
Includes:
- Feature overview
- Usage examples with configuration options
- Explanation of throttling behavior
- Example scenario demonstrating protection
