Renames the fast-path option to the cleaner Local across the stack (it's
still unreleased) and adds a service-level knob:
- client.Local() (was client.LocalDispatch) enables the in-process
fast-path; Options.Local is the field. The internal/network package it
dispatches through is the "local network".
- service.Local() (aliased micro.Local()) turns it on for a whole
service's client in one place — every co-located unary call (agent tool
calls, flow dispatch, gateway -> service) takes the fast-path, no
per-call wiring. Same o.Client.Init(...) pattern the Broker option uses.
Off by default; a no-op for distributed deployments since the fast-path
falls back to the network for anything not co-located.

When caller and callee run in the same process, a unary Call pays the
full network tax — pool.Get, dial, codec-over-socket, and the transport
pump — even though the handler table is right there. This adds an opt-in
fast-path that dispatches directly.
- internal/network: a neutral registry (transport.Message in/out) so
client and server wire up without importing each other. A running server
registers a dispatcher under its name on Start, deregisters on Stop.
- server: localDispatch serves a request in-process through the same
router (identical wrappers/codecs/error mapping) over an in-memory
socket — no dial, no pipe, no gob.
- client: LocalDispatch() opt-in. In call(), a unary request whose body and
response are raw frames (codec/bytes.Frame — the agent/MCP/flow shape)
dispatches locally; everything else falls back to the network path
unchanged.
Correctness test proves the fast-path returns byte-identical replies to
the network path; benchmark shows ~545µs -> ~28µs (~20x) and ~3.6x fewer
allocations. Off by default. Covers #4817 (path b); the zero-copy typed
path remains a follow-up.

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.

* 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

On ARM, 386, and 32-bit MIPS, it is the caller's responsibility to
arrange for 64-bit alignment of 64-bit words accessed
atomically. Only the first word in an allocated struct can
be relied upon to be 64-bit aligned.
