-## PR1 — baseline migration (this branch: `build/neo4j-groovy4-baseline`)
+Note on Groovy version: PR1 originally targeted Groovy 4.0.x to match core-impl at the time it was
+written. Core-impl was later rebased onto Groovy 5 (`c024658181`, "fix: resolve Neo4j regressions
+surfaced by rebasing onto Groovy 5"), so by the time PR2 folded neo4j into root `settings.gradle`,
+the module resolves `org.apache.groovy:groovy:5.0.7` like everything else in the unified build
+(verified via `./gradlew :grails-datastore-gorm-neo4j:dependencies --configuration compileClasspath`).
+No neo4j-specific action was needed for this — it's a side effect of consuming `grails-bom`'s
+version constraints once folded into the same build graph, not something PR2 configured directly.
+
+Standing apart as a separate build was always a holding pattern, not a design decision: `neo4j` and
+`grails-data-graphql` were moved into this repo together in `0e04cf1463` ("Move graphql & neo4j to
+root since they have not been converted to grails 7 yet"), both flagged as lagging modules kept
+buildable via a standalone `settings.gradle`. `grails-data-graphql` migrated to the current baseline
+and folded into root `settings.gradle` as real subprojects in a single PR (`#15587`, dependency-wired
+via `project(...)` refs and `platform(project(':grails-bom'))` instead of published coordinates,
+its own standalone `settings.gradle`/`gradlew` deleted). PR2 below does the same for neo4j — folded
+in right after the baseline lands, rather than deferred to the end of the stack, so the module is a
+real subproject of root as early as possible.

+coordinates, matching the `grails-data-graphql` precedent. The standalone `settings.gradle`,
+top-level `build.gradle`, and `gradle.properties` are deleted; their version properties either
+already existed in root (`javassistVersion`, `elApiVersion`, `defaultElImplementationVersion`,
+`gparsVersion`) or were added (`neo4jVersion`, `neo4jDriverVersion`, `geantyrefVersion`,
+`logbackClassicVersion`). Gradle project names were kept as-is rather than renamed to the
+`-core`/`-spring-boot` suffix convention, to avoid touching internal cross-module `project(...)`
+references.
+
+Deviations and fixes discovered while folding, in case they're useful context for PR3/4/5:
+
+- **Latent Spring Boot 4 incompatibility, pre-existing, surfaced for the first time**: PR1's test
+  plan only ever ran `:grails-datastore-gorm-neo4j:test`, never actually building/testing
+  boot-plugin or grails-plugin against the Spring Boot 4.1 baseline. `DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration`
+  moved packages (`org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.servlet` →
+  `org.springframework.boot.webmvc.autoconfigure`) and modules (`spring-boot-autoconfigure` →
+  `spring-boot-webmvc`) in Boot 4 — fixed in `Neo4jAutoConfiguration.groovy` and boot-plugin's
+  `build.gradle`.
+- **The Jetty-binary-incompatibility and `neo4j-java-driver` version forces** (documented in PR1 as
+  scoped to `grails-datastore-gorm-neo4j`'s own configurations) needed to be **replicated in
+  boot-plugin and grails-plugin's own `build.gradle` files too** — Gradle dependency resolution
+  forces don't propagate from a project dependency to its consumers; each project resolves its own
+  classpath independently. Same for `useJUnitPlatform()` and the `--add-opens java.lang`/`sun.nio.ch`
+  JVM args the embedded Neo4j 3.5.x harness needs — these had only ever been configured for core.
+- **`codenarcFix` is unsafe on this module and must not be used.** Two of its six auto-fixable
+  CodeNarc rules (`SpaceAroundMapEntryColon`, `UnnecessaryGString`) rewrite string *contents*, not
+  just formatting — and this module embeds Cypher queries in string literals throughout
+  (`"MATCH (n:Label)"`, `$1`-style parameter placeholders). Running it silently corrupted a `char`
+  constant and a Cypher query string in one pass before being caught and fully reverted. If a future
+  cleanup wants to use it, first exclude those two rules or verify every touched file compiles and
+  its tests still pass — don't trust the "Fixed CodeNarc violations in ..." log output alone.
+- **codeStyle (Checkstyle + CodeNarc) is temporarily disabled for these three modules**
+  (`tasks.withType(Checkstyle/CodeNarc).configureEach { ignoreFailures = true }` in each
+  build.gradle) rather than fixed. This Grails 3-era code was never checked against this repo's
+  style rules before (it was never a subproject of root until this PR), and surfaced ~1,400
+  pre-existing violations across the three modules — fixing them safely (given the `codenarcFix`
+  danger above) requires a dedicated, careful pass. Tracked as PR5 below.
+- Discovered the total neo4j test count grew from PR1's documented 215 (181 passing / 34 pending)
+  to ~545 once wired to the *live* `grails-datamapping-tck` via `project(...)` instead of whatever
+  snapshot was published when PR1 ran — expected and desirable, but it also surfaced a few
+  previously-invisible TCK gaps (marked `@PendingFeatureIf({ Boolean.getBoolean('neo4j.gorm.suite') })`
+  in `FindWhereSpec`/`OneToManySpec`/`BuiltinUniqueConstraintWorksWithTargetProxiesConstraintsSpec`
+  in `grails-datamapping-tck`, following that file's existing per-adapter opt-in convention) and one
+  stale pending annotation removed (`NullValueEqualSpec`'s "null as a query value" case now passes).
+  `OptimisticLockingSpec`'s "Test optimistic locking" remains a known pre-existing flaky test
+  (self-documented `// heisenbug` in a hardcoded `sleep(2000)` race simulation, untouched by this PR).

+- `grails-data-neo4j/docs` needs a genuine rewrite, not a mechanical port: it downloads GORM source

+  `rootProject.subprojects` assuming it's the root of a small standalone build — both wrong in the

+Fix the ~1,400 pre-existing Checkstyle/CodeNarc violations across the three modules and remove the

+warning under PR2 above. A safe approach: fix the 4 non-string-touching auto-fixable CodeNarc rules
+(`ClassStartsWithBlankLine`, `UnnecessarySemicolon`, `SpaceBeforeOpeningBrace`,
+`ConsecutiveBlankLines`) via `codenarcFix` if isolated from the other two, then hand-fix the rest
+(mostly `SpaceAfterIf`/`Indentation`/`SpaceInsideParentheses`-style whitespace rules in Checkstyle's
+Java violations and CodeNarc's Groovy violations), verifying compile + test pass after each file or
+small batch — never in one blind bulk pass.

+## Modules
+
+This project is part of the main Grails monorepo build. The modules are wired into the root
+`settings.gradle`:
+
+| Module         | Gradle path                    | Maven coordinates                                |

+
+## Deferred: example applications and reference guide
+
+The standalone example apps previously declared in this module's own `settings.gradle`
+(`examples-grails3-neo4j`, `examples-grails3-neo4j-hibernate`, `examples-neo4j-standalone`,
+`examples-neo4j-spring-boot`, `examples-test-data-service`) and the `docs` reference-guide module
+are not yet part of the monorepo build. They are expected to be re-added in a follow-up, mirroring
+how `grails-data-graphql`'s example apps were migrated into `grails-test-examples/graphql/`.
