+# gr2
+
+**gr2 is the workspace layer for multi-repo work.** One repository is just git; when a change spans repositories — a feature slice, a release, several agents touching several repos — gr2 gives you a workspace over them, isolated lanes to work in, and one grouped review/PR set for the slice. It is the Python successor to the Rust `gr` (1.x, called gr1 below); both ship from this repository, and `gr2` is the command for the workspace and the slice.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+uv tool install --pre gitgrip    # the PyPI package is "gitgrip"; the command is "gr2"
+gr2 --version
+```
+
+Without uv, a venv and pip do the same:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv ~/gr2-venv && source ~/gr2-venv/bin/activate
+pip install --pre gitgrip
+gr2 --version
+```
+
+`--pre` is required while every gr2 release is an alpha: 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 were pre-alpha builds and are yanked, so without `--pre` there is nothing to install.
+
+Already installed 1.5.0 or 1.5.1? The install commands above leave it in place, because an installed version already satisfies them. Upgrade explicitly: `uv tool upgrade --prerelease allow gitgrip`, or `pip install --pre -U gitgrip`. To run unreleased development code instead, install from a checkout: `pip install -e gr2/` from the repository root.
+
+The Rust `gr` (gr1, 1.x) installs with `brew install synapt-dev/tap/gitgrip` or `cargo install gitgrip`. The two do not collide; you can have both installed.
+
+## First five minutes
+
+Every command below was run, in this order, in a clean virtualenv against a throwaway workspace of two repositories. Put two clones side by side in one folder, say `~/ws/repo-a` and `~/ws/repo-b`.
+
+```bash
+cd ~/ws
+gr2 workspace init ~/ws                 # scans the folder; writes .grip/workspace_spec.toml
+gr2 workspace materialize ~/ws --yes    # builds the .grip layout and a default unit
+gr2 workspace status ~/ws               # what kind of workspace this is
+gr2 store init ~/ws                     # the workspace snapshot store (needed before review)
+```
+
+A **unit** is one worker — you, or one agent — and `default` is created for you. A **lane** is one piece of work spanning repos, with its own clones, so two lanes never step on each other:
+
+```bash
+gr2 lane create ~/ws default feat-x --repos repo-a,repo-b --branch feat/x
+gr2 lane enter  ~/ws default feat-x --actor human:you
+```
+
+Both commands print, per repo, the absolute directory you work in:
+
+```
+repo-a: ~/ws/.grip/state/lanes/default/feat-x/repos/repo-a
+repo-b: ~/ws/.grip/state/lanes/default/feat-x/repos/repo-b
+```
+
+Edit there — not in your original clones. Stage and commit across the lane's repos:
+
+```bash
+gr2 add . --repo-path ~/ws/.grip/state/lanes/default/feat-x/repos/repo-a
+gr2 commit -m "my change" --workspace-root ~/ws --owner-unit default
+```
+
+`commit` with the lane flags commits every lane repo that has staged changes and names the repos it skipped. If every repo was skipped it exits non-zero with one sentence naming where it looked — and, when it can see them, where your staged changes actually are. Run one command across every lane repo, then turn the lane into one reviewable object:
+
+```bash
+gr2 exec run ~/ws default --actor human:you -- pytest -q   # one command, every lane repo
+gr2 review create-project ~/ws default feat-x              # prints gr:<sha>: one object to review
+gr2 lane show ~/ws default                                 # where am I?
+gr2 lane exit ~/ws default --actor human:you
+```
+
+`exec run` and `lane exit` require `--actor`. Every group and verb takes `--help`; `gr2 --help` lists them all.
+
+## What works today, and what is not there yet
+
+Alpha 2 is a working local workspace layer. Verified by running the walk above:
+
+- `workspace` (init, materialize, status, migrate-gr1 from a gr1 gripspace), `lane` (create, enter, exit, current, lease), `store` (init, commit, log, diff, checkout), `exec run`, `repo status`, `sync status`, `review create-project`.
+- Lanes are independent clones: two lanes, or two agents, never share refs, an index, or a working tree.
+- A lane commit that commits nothing anywhere refuses loudly instead of reporting success.
+
+Not there yet:
+
+- The full walk with **remote** PRs (`gr2 push`, `gr2 pr create`) is documented in `--help` but was not exercised in a clean environment for this README; treat those two as alpha.
+- `gr2 --help` and some verb output still say "prototype" in places; the wording is being cleaned up as verbs land.
+- The Rust `gr` (gr1) still owns `spawn`, `fleet`, and `manifest` until their gr2 ports land. Everything else — workspace sync, lanes, the multi-repo slice, its review — is gr2's job; if a verb is missing or wrong there, that is a bug worth reporting, not a reason to reach for gr1.
+
+## Commands
+
+| Group | Verbs |
+|---|---|
+| `workspace` | init, init-from-topology, materialize, status, convert-clone, detect-gr1, migrate-gr1, migrate-lane-state, bootstrap-gr1, gitinclude |
+| `spec` | show, validate |
+| `lane` | create, enter, exit, show, resolve, bind, lease |
+| (top level) | branch, add, commit, push, prune, status, plan, apply |
+| `sync` | status, run |
+| `pr` | create, status, checks, merge, view |
+| `check` | run, show |
+| `review` | open, close, checkout-pr, run, check, bind, publish, receive, verify, show, merge, rebind, create-project |
+| `exec` | status, run |
+| `repo` | status, projection-run |
+| `hooks` | trust, revoke, status, show, run |
+| `store` | init, commit, check, push, status, log, diff, checkout, materialize, migrate, migrate-reviews |
+| `target`, `config` | stored PR target; config overlays |
+
+## Overlay substrate
+
+gr2 also carries the config-overlay substrate (capture, compose, and materialize configuration layers over a workspace): see [docs/OVERLAY-SUBSTRATE.md](docs/OVERLAY-SUBSTRATE.md).
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+pip install -e "gr2[dev]"    # from the repository root
+cd gr2 && pytest             # the gr2 suite (tests + overlay tests)
+cd gr2 && ruff check .       # lint, same config as CI
+```
+
+The Rust development binary is **`gr2-dev`** — built by `cargo build -p gr2-cli --release`, `publish = false`, and not shipped with `cargo install gitgrip`. It answered to the name `gr2` until 2026-09-30, so a branch written before that rename goes red on `cargo test -p gr2-cli` with `CARGO_BIN_EXE_gr2 is unset`; the repair is `cargo_bin("gr2-dev")`, from which Cargo derives `CARGO_BIN_EXE_gr2-dev`.
+
+Migration: use `gr2 review check` for compiled review requirements. `review requirements`
+remains a hidden alias with a warning on stderr until beta. Both report `satisfied`
+in the same JSON payload, and a missing reviewer remains a reported status with exit 0.
+
+A bare `gr2 review open <workspace>` uses the workspace's sole review bind. Its default directory is `<workspace>.review/<sha8>` in the workspace's parent directory, and the command announces that path on stderr. Give `--lane-dir` to choose another location.
+
+New review binds record the binder's Git `user.name` from the workspace root.
+Set it with `git config user.name 'Your Name'` there if Git has no configured name.
+`review show --json` and `review verify --json` include this author; older binds
+remain readable without an author field, and reading them does not invent one.
+
+
+## Transfer a native review
+
+Publish an existing bound review and receive it in another native workspace:
+
+```bash
+gr2 review publish gr:<full-review-id> --remote https://example.org/workspace.git
+gr2 review receive gr:<full-review-id> --remote https://example.org/workspace.git
+gr2 review show gr:<full-review-id>
+gr2 review verify gr:<full-review-id>
+gr2 review open gr:<full-review-id> --lane-dir /absolute/fresh-review
+```
+
+The root defaults to the current workspace. Use `-C /absolute/workspace` to override
+it. Transport requires an independently supplied full 40-character lowercase
+review ID and an explicit HTTPS URL or absolute local remote path. It does not
+infer the expected ID from the remote. A review is published at
+`refs/dev.synapt.grip/__reviews__/v1/<full-review-id>`; `--ref`, when supplied, must be
+exactly that, or the older `refs/dev.synapt.grip/__reviews__/<full-review-id>`. Invalid explicit input is
+refused without falling back to context.
+
+Publish transfers only that review ref and confirms its returned target. Receive
+compares both the advertised and actual fetched raw target with the expected ID,
+requires a commit and recomputable review content, then creates the canonical
+local bind ref. A valid same-ID receive is idempotent. A conflicting existing ref
+is refused. Object downloads may remain after refusal. The owned temporary ref
+is removed separately, and cleanup failure is reported without replacing a
+primary failure.
+
+The review commit carries its trees, blobs and range patches. It does not make
+its recorded base or original member head reachable as Git parents. Keep each
+member's base reachable at its recorded remote for reconstruction. `verify`
+checks content consistency, not current remote state, provenance or approval.
+`open` checks reconstructed member trees. Commit identity can differ from the
+original head. Receiving content grants no local approval, allocation, selection
+or cleanup authority. Opening a reconstruction remains a separate operation.
+
+
+## External PR adapters
+
+External packages can expose a zero-argument factory through the
+`gr2.platform_adapters` entry-point group. See [the adapter contract](docs/PR-LIFECYCLE.md#51-adapter-protocol-and-capabilities)
+for registration, optional operation capabilities and merge head-pin requirements.
+Select the installed adapter with `gr2 pr create ... --platform NAME` on a
+materialized lane. The bound-lane path currently pushes and returns its receipt.
+
+PRs start as drafts by default. `--draft` is explicit draft creation, while
+`--no-draft` explicitly creates non-drafts. The same default applies to
+`CreatePRRequest` and `create_pr_group`. Existing Python callers can retain
+non-draft creation with `draft=False`. Plugins execute trusted Python from the
+existing environment. The CLI never installs or downloads them.
+
+## Checks on a plain Git remote
+
+Run a command at an exact full commit id in a disposable checkout, then publish
+its exit status to the repository's remote:
+
+```sh
+gr2 check run ./repo -- python -m pytest
+gr2 check show ./repo --json
+```
+
+With no flags, the remote is the current branch's upstream (else `origin`) and the head is `HEAD`,
+as a full commit id. gr2 prints what it resolved on stderr. `--remote` (a URL, an absolute path or a
+remote's name), `--head` and `--name` override them. With no upstream and no `origin`, it refuses and
+asks for `--remote`.
+
+Absolute paths to local bare remotes also work. Observations live at
+`refs/dev.synapt.grip/__checks__/v1`, keyed by commit id. `check show` fetches a
+fresh snapshot; a different commit has no check even when its tree is identical.
+Supplied `--require` names replace the default `test` requirement. For both
+checks, use `--require test --require lint`.
+
+The read JSON contains `status`, `record_id` (the head's record-set blob id or
+null), `snapshot_oid`, `head`, `member_key`, `records`, and `reason`. Each
+observation retains its fields and adds a SHA-256 `observation_id`.
+
+A failed command is recorded and `check run` exits 1. Publication or execution
+refusals exit 2. `check show` returns `pass`, `fail` or `absent` in its JSON;
+failed or unmeasurable reads exit 2. Conflicting pass and fail observations both
+survive and refuse readiness. Rerunning a check does not erase its earlier
+failure at that commit. Concurrent writes union observations with bounded
+compare-and-swap retries. An unmeasurable push acknowledgement is reported as
+indeterminate unless a fresh remote read confirms the observation.
+
+## Merge a bound review into plain Git remotes
+
+```sh
+gr2 review merge
+```
+
+This merges the review bound at the members' current heads, from their current branch, into the
+branch on each remote that still sits at the reviewed base, and prints what it resolved. If several
+branches sit there, it asks for `--into`. It merges only if every member's remote feature
+branch is still the reviewed head, the target is still the reviewed base, and the exact-head check
+passes. If any member fails that preflight, nothing is pushed. Merges are separate pushes, not atomic
+across repos: a member that moves after an earlier member was pushed is refused, and the run exits 4.
+
+Exit codes:
+- 0: all merged;
+- 3: none merged (refused);
+- 4: partial or unknown.
+
+A review id, `--from` and `--into` override the defaults. Zero or several matching binds, or members on
+different branches, refuse and name the value to pass.
+
+These records are attestations by writers trusted with remote access, not signed
+proof against a writer who can forge Git objects. Test output and environment
+contents are not uploaded. Read this custom ref through gr2; plain `git notes`
+cannot read notes outside `refs/notes/`.
