Include protobuf tooling in the conversational quick start
On a fresh machine following only the documented Go and micro installation, this path cannot compile and start the generated service: generate.Generate writes a Makefile that invokes protoc --micro_out --go_out, but installing the CLI does not install protoc, protoc-gen-go, or protoc-gen-micro; the failed generation command is ignored and the subsequent build in handleGenerate fails. Either add the protobuf toolchain to these prerequisites or make conversational generation use/install a self-contained scaffold before presenting it as the default quick start.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
The README introduced conversational development while the website and guides still led with greeter scaffolding and conflicting prerequisites. Some gateway references also advertised obsolete default credentials.
Align the landing page, quickstart, getting-started guide and CLI README around chat → generated services → creating a Go agent with service tools. Explain discovery, session lifecycle and the distinction between the CLI development agent and a named agent. Correct v6/Go 1.25 prerequisites, AI package references and gateway authentication defaults; identify the deprecated server alias. Update preflight's minimum Go version and documentation checks to match the current module and onboarding flow. Preserve optional provider-free walkthroughs and the light theme.
Validation: go build ./... and golangci-lint run ./... pass; targeted preflight, CLI documentation and documentation harness tests pass, including compilation of the first-agent tutorial. Hugo production build passes. Internal links resolve on the landing page, docs index, quickstart, getting-started and first-agent pages. git diff --check passes.
The full Go test suite was not rerun because automatic approval review previously rejected tests that contacted Atlas Cloud. CI must pass before merge.
