README

FrankenGit

**A clean-room, pure-Rust, Git-compatible forge designed for humans, autonomous coding agents, extreme scale, and independently verifiable recovery.**

**Status:** active implementation and pre-release integration (spec-first design, transitioning from pre-implementation). FrankenGit now contains substantial final-abstraction slices and a narrow executable one-node boundary, but it is not yet a general-purpose Git server, a production-ready forge, or a GitHub replacement.

**License:** `LicenseRef-MIT-OpenAI-Anthropic-Rider` — the MIT licence plus the OpenAI/Anthropic rider. Decision D14 was resolved by the repository owner on 2026-08-23.

Because that rider withholds rights from named parties, the licence is **not** OSI-approved open source; the repository is source-available and must be described that way. See [`docs/LICENSING_DECISION.md`](docs/LICENSING_DECISION.md).

**Normative contract:** [`docs/NORMATIVE_PROTOCOL_CONTRACTS.md`](docs/NORMATIVE_PROTOCOL_CONTRACTS.md) governs identity, admission, publication, authority, cancellation, repair, and release-blocking invariants.

FrankenGit is not “GitHub rewritten in Rust.” It is a forge designed around a different center of gravity:

one immutable repository decision stream and one tiny conditional authority head, rather than a mutable bare repository plus a separately authoritative product database;
a production implementation that is pure Rust, strictly memory-safe in first-party code, and never links or invokes C Git, libgit2, or another Git engine;
parallel, per-core preparation and microbatched publication instead of forcing expensive work through one repository process;
Git-object-aware adaptive transport, sparse semantic workspaces, typed graph fabrics, evidence-carrying agent changes, and locally reproducible releases;
**repair, checkpoints, indexes, policy promotion, and release publication that all follow the same body-first/root-last, anti-rollback di
