* thesis: position Go Micro as complementary to LangChain, not competing
Add a 'Where we fit' section: 'harness' has two layers — the intra-agent
harness (single-model runtime: prompts, tools, context, sandbox, the Ralph
loop) that LangChain/LangGraph/deepagents/Claude Code own and we do NOT
compete with, and the operational harness (the distributed substrate agents
operate inside: services-as-tools, discovery, durable runs, observability,
interop, the services->agents->workflows lifecycle) which is our focus. They
stack and interoperate via MCP/A2A; we make those agents better neighbours,
not obsolete.
* ci: gate Codex dispatch on CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN secret
Codex ignores @codex comments authored by the github-actions bot, so the
hourly dispatch was producing no PRs while still posting to the tracker
issue. Gate the comment step on the presence of CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN: the
workflow now no-ops until a PAT for a Codex-followed account is set, then
activates automatically with no further change.

Add internal/docs/THESIS.md — the vision the autonomous loop steers by: a
holistic agent harness AND service framework encapsulating the lifecycle of
services -> agents -> workflows (workloads come after agents; the value is in
composing it into systems that do real work, on schedules and in loops).
Wire it in as the alignment criterion: the continuous-improvement charter and
the Codex dispatch prompt now require every increment to advance the North Star,
so improvements compound toward the thesis instead of drifting locally.

- continuous-improvement: cadence 12h -> hourly.
- add auto-merge-codex workflow: every 15 min, merge open PRs that are
codex-labelled AND from a codex/* branch once all checks are green
(gh pr checks). CI (build/test/lint/harnesses) is the only gate — no
human involvement. Scoped tightly so nothing else auto-merges.

A Claude Max subscription exposes no API key for CI, and Atlas Cloud models
can't run a coding agent — so the durable scheduler triggers Codex instead:
on a cadence it posts an @codex instruction on the tracker issue (#3024) to
run one improvement increment. Prefers a CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN PAT if set
(in case Codex ignores the Actions bot), else the default token.

Define the autonomous improvement loop (internal/docs/CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md):
full autonomy with correctness (build/test/lint) as the only gate, work sourced
from roadmap + issues + an improvement radar + dogfooding, Claude Code driving
and Codex executing scoped tasks, with brand/positioning and breaking API kept
with the human.
Add a durable scheduled GitHub Action (.github/workflows/continuous-improvement.yml)
as the session-independent backbone — a safe no-op until an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
secret is added.

* website: add Support to top nav (landing + docs layout)
Link /docs/support.html from the nav bar on the landing page and the
shared docs layout, and point the docs-layout footer Support link there
too (was the question issue template).
* website: add a dedicated marketing /support page
New top-level /support.html styled like the landing site (hero, tier
cards, community links, CTAs) — separate from the docs reference at
/docs/support.html. Repoint the site nav, footer, landing 'Commercial
support' button, and the FUNDING button to it.
* website: serve the support page at a clean /support URL
Add 'permalink: /support' to support.html (same mechanism the blog uses)
and point all nav/footer/CTA/FUNDING links at /support instead of
/support.html.

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.

* support: advertise commercial support, consulting, and sponsorship
Adds a clear path to fund the project and pay for help, surfaced where
people look:
- SUPPORT.md + website /docs/support.html with a tier ladder (community,
sponsor, support retainer, consulting)
- Commercial Support / Consulting issue template (the GitHub inbound funnel)
and an issue-chooser config linking Sponsors and docs
- FUNDING.yml custom link to the support page; README section + nav entry
Community support stays free via issues; paid support and consulting are
scoped per engagement.

* ci: migrate golangci-lint to v2 config and enforce in CI (#2988)
- Rewrite .golangci.yaml for the v2 schema: start from the standard linter
set (errcheck, govet, ineffassign, staticcheck, unused) plus bodyclose,
misspell, unconvert, usestdlibvars. Sensible exclusions: generated code,
built-in presets, looser tests, SA1019 deprecations (coordinated migration
is separate), and the ported protoc-gen-micro generator for unused.
- Add a Lint workflow running golangci/golangci-lint-action with
only-new-issues, so linting is enforced on new/changed code without a
flag-day cleanup of the existing backlog.
The pre-existing backlog (errcheck/unused/naming and a few real bugs the
linter surfaces) is left for a dedicated follow-up so it can be reviewed on
its own rather than buried in this wiring change.

* docs: design note for flow steps + Checkpoint durable execution
* docs: fold in durable-execution decisions (State struct, single Step, run retention, retry)
* docs: rename State.Payload to State.Data
* feat(flow): ordered steps + Checkpoint durable execution
A flow can now be an ordered list of steps (a task with stages) instead
of a single LLM turn. State carries typed Data plus a Stage marker; each
step is checkpointed before and after via a pluggable Checkpoint
(store-backed by default), so a run survives a crash and resumes where it
stopped without re-running completed steps. Flow-level Retry with a
per-step override; runs retained for audit unless DeleteOnSuccess.
Step actions: Call (RPC), LLM (augmented turn), Dispatch (to an agent),
or any StepFunc. Single-step and agent-dispatch flows are unchanged.
* feat(flow): top-level re-exports + durable flow example
Expose the step/checkpoint API from the micro package (FlowSteps,
FlowStep, FlowState, FlowRetry, FlowWithCheckpoint, FlowCall/LLM/Dispatch,
Checkpoint, StoreCheckpoint) and add a runnable, key-free example
demonstrating crash + resume.
* docs: document durable flow steps (guide, README, CLI help)
* docs: blog post + changelog for durable workflows
* fix(flow): scope checkpoint keys by flow name (flow/{name}/runs/{id})
Run keys were flow/runs/{id} — a single global keyspace shared by every
flow on the default store. Namespace them by flow name so each flow's
state is kept apart. StoreCheckpoint now takes a scope argument (the flow
passes its name by default).
* feat(store): Scope handle; scope agent and flow state by name
Add store.Scope(s, database, table) — a store handle that confines every
operation to a database/table without mutating the shared store, so
co-located components don't clobber each other's table (the failure mode
of the global Init(Table(...)) approach).
Use it to keep each agent's memory and plan in its own table
(agent/{name}) and each flow's runs in its own (flow/{name}), instead of
one global table partitioned only by key prefix. Services already scope
by service name.
* feat: consistent state model — service store scoping, flow registry, list/history CLI
- service: scope store via store.Scope (database service / table name),
retiring the Init(store.Table(name)) global-mutation hack; bridge the
default store so handlers using store.DefaultStore stay isolated.
- flow: register in the registry as type=flow while running (with trigger
and step count), deregister on Stop. Live discovery, like agents.
- cli: micro flow list (registry), micro flow runs <name> (durable store),
micro agent history <name> (durable store). list = running, runs/history
= durable, mirroring the service model.
* test: mini-universe end-to-end harness + scheduled GitHub Action
internal/harness/universe boots a small but real go-micro world — four
services, a durable checkout flow that crashes at payment and resumes,
and a guardrailed agent with a tool wrapper reached over RPC — drives the
scenario, asserts the end state (10 checks), and shuts down. Everything
is real except the LLM (mocked), so it's deterministic and needs no key;
-provider anthropic runs it live. Exits non-zero on failure, so it's an
end-to-end test, not just a demo.
Adds .github/workflows/universe.yml (push/PR/daily/dispatch) running the
universe + existing harnesses on the mock provider, plus an opt-in job
that runs live when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set. 'make harness' runs them
locally.
* ci: run the live universe job against AtlasCloud (ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY)
* ci: run the live universe job only on schedule or manual dispatch
The deterministic mock job still runs on push/PR/daily; the live
(AtlasCloud) job runs daily and on manual workflow_dispatch only, so
changes don't burn API credits on every PR but can still be checked
against a real model on demand.

* Fix memory store to filter before limiting in prefix/suffix reads
The previous fix had a logic error where limit/offset were applied before
prefix/suffix filtering. This could cause incorrect results when the first
N items in the unfiltered list don't match the search criteria.
Now filters first to get all matching keys, then applies limit/offset to
the filtered results. This ensures ReadLimit(1) always returns 1 matching
record if available, regardless of map iteration order.
