Per standing preference — this is planned development/capability, not "bets". Reword ROADMAP.md and .github/loop/PRIORITIES.md accordingly; no change to what the loop builds.

Priorities
The ranked work queue for the autonomous improvement loop. The planner owns this file: each run it turns the roadmap plus an internal scan into a single ordered list — highest-value first — each item linked to a tracking issue. The builder works the top item whose issue is still open. So the planner decides what, the builder builds it.
Bias to capability, not busy-work. The top of this queue is net-new capability from the roadmap's Now/Next items. Hardening/conformance/DX polish is background work (roadmap Ongoing) — kept low here and capped, never allowed to crowd out capability. If an area has had several increments with no user-visible gain, it is done for now; rank real-headroom capability instead.
Reading / editing. An item is done when its linked issue closes (the PR that
builds it adds Closes #<issue>). The human can reorder this list or the issues at
any time — direction always wins.
Off-limits to the loop (planner proposes as notes, never auto-merged queue items): brand/positioning copy, breaking public-API changes, architectural rewrites.
Work queue (ranked)
Capability — the headline (roadmap: Now / Next)
- Agents that pay — wire the x402 buyer into the agent runtime (#4786) — the flagship. The buyer
x402.Client/Payer/budget already exists; wire it so an agent autonomously settles a payment-required tool within budget and retries, opt-in and observable. Makes go-micro a runtime for autonomous agent commerce. - AP2 mandate foundation over A2A + x402 (#3552) — signed Checkout/Payment mandates attached over A2A, the Payment Mandate naming an x402 rail. The authorization/audit layer of the emerging agent-payments standard; additive and opt-in.
- Agent spend observability (#4787) — surface x402 spend in
RunInfoand OpenTelemetry so payments are inspectable like every other agent action. (Follows #4786.) - Example: an agent that pays for a paid tool (#4788) — the runnable artifact that makes it real for a developer, against a mock facilitator (no live funds). (Follows #4786/#4787.)
Background — hardening & DX (roadmap: Ongoing; capped)
- Harden agent provider failure resilience (#4650) — timeouts, cancellation, rate limits, retry/backoff, inspectable failure metadata through the agent loop. Real, but maintenance — keep it below the capability work.
Restocked by Claude Code from the roadmap's capability items; thereafter maintained by the planner. Next capability to decompose when the above land: gRPC-reflection MCP, Kubernetes operator + CRDs (roadmap: Next).
