Foremerge

https://github.com/naw103/foremerge

Agents publish intents (symbol scopes, an operation, dependencies) to a shared ledger with a hash-chained log before editing; fixed rules flag colliding plans and suggest a split, advisory only, over CLI, JSON and MCP.

The summary describes what the project says it does; inclusion is not an endorsement.

Take

It catches collisions between plans before any code exists, and gives the same verdict for the same inputs every time. Because it never blocks, a crashed agent can't stall the others.

Git compares diffs, not plans

One agent replaced PaymentService while another extended it; the branches merged cleanly, but the extension depended on a point the first had deleted.

Take

Names three failures file isolation can't catch: destructive versus additive edits, duplicate work and contract drift. The tool's own vendor blog.
