+# Pull Request URL Support - Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation adds the ability for WizardMerge to accept GitHub Pull Request URLs and automatically resolve merge conflicts using the existing three-way merge algorithm with advanced heuristics.
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 1. GitHub API Integration
+- **PR URL Parsing**: Extracts owner, repository, and PR number from GitHub URLs
+- **Metadata Fetching**: Retrieves PR information including base/head refs and commit SHAs
+- **File Content Retrieval**: Fetches file versions at specific commits with base64 decoding
+
+### 2. HTTP API Endpoint
+- **Endpoint**: `POST /api/pr/resolve`
+- **Input**: PR URL, optional GitHub token, branch creation flags
+- **Output**: Detailed resolution results with file-by-file conflict status
+
+### 3. CLI Integration
+- **Command**: `pr-resolve --url <pr_url>`
+- **Environment**: Supports `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable
+- **Options**: `--token`, `--branch`, `--output`
+
+### 4. Resolution Algorithm
+For each modified file in the PR:
+1. Fetch base version (from PR base SHA)
+2. Fetch head version (from PR head SHA)  
+3. Apply three-way merge algorithm
+4. Use auto-resolution heuristics:
+   - Non-overlapping changes
+   - Identical changes from both sides
+   - Whitespace-only differences
+5. Return merged content or conflict markers
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+GitHub API
+    ↓
+github_client.cpp (C++)
+    ↓
+PRController.cc (Drogon HTTP handler)
+    ↓
+three_way_merge.cpp (Core algorithm)
+    ↓
+JSON Response
+```
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### Backend Core
+- `backend/include/wizardmerge/git/github_client.h` - GitHub API client interface
+- `backend/src/git/github_client.cpp` - GitHub API implementation with libcurl
+- `backend/src/controllers/PRController.h` - PR resolution HTTP controller header
+- `backend/src/controllers/PRController.cc` - PR resolution controller implementation
+
+### Build System
+- `backend/CMakeLists.txt` - Added libcurl dependency, conditional compilation
+- `backend/conanfile.py` - Added libcurl/8.4.0 to Conan requirements
+- `backend/build.sh` - Added non-interactive mode support
+
+### Frontend
+- `frontends/cli/src/main.cpp` - Added `pr-resolve` command with argument parsing
+
+### Testing
+- `backend/tests/test_github_client.cpp` - Unit tests for PR URL parsing
+
+### Documentation
+- `README.md` - Added PR resolution examples and API documentation
+- `backend/README.md` - Detailed API endpoint documentation with curl examples
+- `backend/examples/pr_resolve_example.py` - Python example script
+- `spec/WizardMergeSpec.tla` - Updated formal specification with PR workflow
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Required for PR Features
+- **libcurl**: HTTP client for GitHub API communication
+- **jsoncpp**: JSON parsing (transitive dependency from Drogon)
+
+### Optional
+- **Drogon**: Web framework for HTTP server (required for API endpoint)
+- **GTest**: Testing framework (required for unit tests)
+
+All dependencies can be installed via Conan package manager.
+
+## Build Instructions
+
+### With Conan (Recommended)
+```bash
+cd backend
+conan install . --output-folder=build --build=missing
+cd build
+cmake .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=conan_toolchain.cmake
+ninja
+```
+
+### Without Full Dependencies
+```bash
+cd backend
+WIZARDMERGE_AUTO_BUILD=1 ./build.sh
+```
+
+This builds the core library without GitHub API features.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### CLI Usage
+```bash
+# Basic PR resolution
+./wizardmerge-cli-frontend pr-resolve --url https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
+
+# With GitHub token
+./wizardmerge-cli-frontend pr-resolve \
+  --url https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 \
+  --token ghp_xxx
+
+# Save to file
+./wizardmerge-cli-frontend pr-resolve \
+  --url https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 \
+  -o result.json
+```
+
+### HTTP API Usage
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/pr/resolve \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "pr_url": "https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123",
+    "github_token": "optional_token"
+  }'
+```
+
+### Python Script
+```bash
+python backend/examples/pr_resolve_example.py https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
+```
+
+## Response Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "pr_info": {
+    "number": 123,
+    "title": "Feature: Add new functionality",
+    "base_ref": "main",
+    "head_ref": "feature-branch",
+    "base_sha": "abc1234",
+    "head_sha": "def5678",
+    "mergeable": false,
+    "mergeable_state": "dirty"
+  },
+  "resolved_files": [
+    {
+      "filename": "src/example.cpp",
+      "status": "modified",
+      "had_conflicts": true,
+      "auto_resolved": true,
+      "merged_content": ["line1", "line2", "..."]
+    }
+  ],
+  "total_files": 5,
+  "resolved_count": 4,
+  "failed_count": 0,
+  "branch_created": false,
+  "note": "Branch creation requires Git CLI integration (not yet implemented)"
+}
+```
+
+## Limitations and Future Work
+
+### Current Limitations
+1. **Branch Creation**: Not yet implemented; requires Git CLI integration
+2. **Merge Base**: Uses simplified merge logic (base vs head) instead of true merge-base commit
+3. **Large Files**: GitHub API has file size limits (~100MB)
+4. **Rate Limiting**: GitHub API has rate limits (60/hour unauthenticated, 5000/hour authenticated)
+
+### Future Enhancements
+1. **Git Integration**: Clone repo, create branches, push resolved changes
+2. **Merge Base Detection**: Use `git merge-base` to find true common ancestor
+3. **Semantic Merging**: Language-aware conflict resolution (JSON, YAML, etc.)
+4. **Dependency Analysis**: SDG-based conflict detection (from research paper)
+5. **Interactive Mode**: Present conflicts to user for manual resolution
+6. **Batch Processing**: Resolve multiple PRs in parallel
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+```bash
+cd backend/build
+./wizardmerge-tests --gtest_filter=GitHubClientTest.*
+```
+
+Tests cover:
+- PR URL parsing (valid and invalid formats)
+- Special characters in owner/repo names
+- Different URL formats (with/without https, www)
+
+### Integration Testing
+Requires:
+- Running backend server with Drogon + CURL
+- GitHub API access (public or with token)
+- Real or mock GitHub repository with PRs
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **API Calls**: One call for PR metadata + N calls for file contents (where N = modified files)
+- **Rate Limits**: Use GitHub tokens to increase limits
+- **Caching**: File contents could be cached by SHA for repeated resolutions
+- **Concurrency**: File fetching could be parallelized
+
+## Security
+
+- **Token Handling**: Tokens passed via headers, not logged
+- **Input Validation**: URL parsing validates format before API calls
+- **Base64 Decoding**: Custom decoder avoids potential vulnerabilities in external libs
+- **Rate Limiting**: Respects GitHub API limits to avoid abuse
+
+## Formal Specification
+
+The TLA+ specification (`spec/WizardMergeSpec.tla`) has been updated to include:
+- PR resolution workflow model
+- File processing state machine
+- Success criteria and invariants
+- Proof of correctness properties
+
+## Compliance with Roadmap
+
+This implementation completes **Phase 1.2** of the roadmap:
+- ✅ Parse pull request URLs
+- ✅ Fetch PR data via GitHub API
+- ✅ Apply merge algorithm to PR files
+- ✅ HTTP API endpoint
+- ✅ CLI command
+- ✅ Documentation
+- ⏳ Git branch creation (future)
+
+## Contributing
+
+To extend this feature:
+1. Add new merge strategies in `three_way_merge.cpp`
+2. Enhance GitHub client for additional API endpoints
+3. Implement Git CLI integration for branch creation
