+### Doctests
+
+**All functions and methods MUST have working doctests.** Doctests serve as both documentation and tests.
+
+**CRITICAL RULES:**
+- Doctests MUST actually execute - never comment out `asyncio.run()` or similar calls
+- Doctests MUST NOT be converted to `.. code-block::` as a workaround (code-blocks don't run)
+- If you cannot create a working doctest, **STOP and ask for help**
+
+**Available tools for doctests:**
+- `doctest_namespace` fixtures: `tmp_path`, `asyncio`, `create_git_remote_repo`, `create_hg_remote_repo`, `create_svn_remote_repo`, `example_git_repo`
+- Ellipsis for variable output: `# doctest: +ELLIPSIS`
+- Update `pytest_plugin.py` to add new fixtures to `doctest_namespace`
+
+**`# doctest: +SKIP` is NOT permitted** - it's just another workaround that doesn't test anything. If a VCS binary might not be installed, pytest already handles skipping via `skip_if_binaries_missing`. Use the fixtures properly.
+
+**Async doctest pattern:**
+```python
+>>> async def example():
+...     result = await some_async_function()
+...     return result
+>>> asyncio.run(example())
+'expected output'
+```
+
+**Using fixtures in doctests:**
+```python
+>>> git = Git(path=tmp_path)  # tmp_path from doctest_namespace
+>>> git.run(['status'])
+'...'
+```
+
+**When output varies, use ellipsis:**
+```python
+>>> git.clone(url=f'file://{create_git_remote_repo()}')  # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+'Cloning into ...'
+```

+## Asyncio Development
+
+### Architecture
+
+libvcs async support is organized in `_async/` subpackages:
+
+```
+libvcs/
+├── _internal/
+│   ├── subprocess.py         # Sync subprocess wrapper
+│   └── async_subprocess.py   # Async subprocess wrapper
+├── cmd/
+│   ├── git.py                # Git (sync)
+│   └── _async/git.py         # AsyncGit
+├── sync/
+│   ├── git.py                # GitSync (sync)
+│   └── _async/git.py         # AsyncGitSync
+```
+
+### Async Subprocess Patterns
+
+**Always use `communicate()` for subprocess I/O:**
+```python
+proc = await asyncio.create_subprocess_shell(...)
+stdout, stderr = await proc.communicate()  # Prevents deadlocks
+```
+
+**Use `asyncio.timeout()` for timeouts:**
+```python
+async with asyncio.timeout(300):
+    stdout, stderr = await proc.communicate()
+```
+
+**Handle BrokenPipeError gracefully:**
+```python
+try:
+    proc.stdin.write(data)
+    await proc.stdin.drain()
+except BrokenPipeError:
+    pass  # Process already exited - expected behavior
+```
+
+### Async API Conventions
+
+- **Class naming**: Use `Async` prefix: `AsyncGit`, `AsyncGitSync`
+- **Callbacks**: Async APIs accept only async callbacks (no union types)
+- **Shared logic**: Extract argument-building to sync functions, share with async
+
+```python
+# Shared argument building (sync)
+def build_clone_args(url: str, depth: int | None = None) -> list[str]:
+    args = ["clone", url]
+    if depth:
+        args.extend(["--depth", str(depth)])
+    return args
+
+# Async method uses shared logic
+async def clone(self, url: str, depth: int | None = None) -> str:
+    args = build_clone_args(url, depth)
+    return await self.run(args)
+```
+
+### Async Testing
+
+**pytest configuration:**
+```toml
+[tool.pytest.ini_options]
+asyncio_mode = "strict"
+asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "function"
+```
+
+**Async fixture pattern:**
+```python
+@pytest_asyncio.fixture(loop_scope="function")
+async def async_git_repo(tmp_path: Path) -> t.AsyncGenerator[AsyncGitSync, None]:
+    repo = AsyncGitSync(url="...", path=tmp_path / "repo")
+    await repo.obtain()
+    yield repo
+```
+
+**Parametrized async tests:**
+```python
+class CloneFixture(t.NamedTuple):
+    test_id: str
+    clone_kwargs: dict[str, t.Any]
+    expected: list[str]
+
+CLONE_FIXTURES = [
+    CloneFixture("basic", {}, [".git"]),
+    CloneFixture("shallow", {"depth": 1}, [".git"]),
+]
+
+@pytest.mark.parametrize(
+    list(CloneFixture._fields),
+    CLONE_FIXTURES,
+    ids=[f.test_id for f in CLONE_FIXTURES],
+)
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_clone(test_id: str, clone_kwargs: dict, expected: list) -> None:
+    ...
+```
+
+### Async Anti-Patterns
+
+**DON'T poll returncode:**
+```python
+# WRONG
+while proc.returncode is None:
+    await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
+
+# RIGHT
+await proc.wait()
+```
+
+**DON'T mix blocking calls in async code:**
+```python
+# WRONG
+async def bad():
+    subprocess.run(["git", "clone", url])  # Blocks event loop!
+
+# RIGHT
+async def good():
+    proc = await asyncio.create_subprocess_shell(...)
+    await proc.wait()
+```
+
+**DON'T close the event loop in tests:**
+```python
+# WRONG - breaks pytest-asyncio cleanup
+loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
+loop.close()
+```
+

+### 5. Async Support
+Run VCS operations asynchronously for better concurrency when managing multiple repositories.
+
+[**Learn more about Async Support**](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/topics/asyncio.html)
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+import pathlib
+from libvcs.sync._async.git import AsyncGitSync
+
+async def main():
+    repo = AsyncGitSync(
+        url="https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs",
+        path=pathlib.Path.cwd() / "libvcs",
+    )
+    await repo.obtain()
+    await repo.update_repo()
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+Clone multiple repositories concurrently:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from libvcs.sync._async.git import AsyncGitSync
+
+async def clone_all(repos: list[tuple[str, str]]):
+    tasks = [
+        AsyncGitSync(url=url, path=path).obtain()
+        for url, path in repos
+    ]
+    await asyncio.gather(*tasks)  # All clone in parallel
+
+asyncio.run(clone_all([
+    ("https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs", "./libvcs"),

+# Copy Utilities
+
+```{module} libvcs._internal.copy
+```
+
+Copy utilities with reflink (copy-on-write) support for optimized directory operations.
+
+## Overview
+
+This module provides `copytree_reflink()`, an optimized directory copy function that
+leverages filesystem-level copy-on-write (CoW) when available, with automatic fallback
+to standard `shutil.copytree()` on unsupported filesystems.
+
+## Why Reflinks?
+
+Traditional file copying reads source bytes and writes them to the destination. On
+modern copy-on-write filesystems like **Btrfs**, **XFS**, and **APFS**, reflinks
+provide a more efficient alternative:
+
+| Operation | Traditional Copy | Reflink Copy |
+|-----------|------------------|--------------|
+| Bytes transferred | All file data | Metadata only |
+| Time complexity | O(file size) | O(1) |
+| Disk usage | 2x original | ~0 (shared blocks) |
+| On modification | Original unchanged | CoW creates new blocks |
+
+### Filesystem Support
+
+| Filesystem | Reflink Support | Notes |
+|------------|-----------------|-------|
+| Btrfs | ✅ Native | Full CoW support |
+| XFS | ✅ Native | Requires reflink=1 mount option |
+| APFS | ✅ Native | macOS 10.13+ |
+| ext4 | ❌ Fallback | Falls back to byte copy |
+| NTFS | ❌ Fallback | Windows uses shutil.copytree |
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from libvcs._internal.copy import copytree_reflink
+import pathlib
+
+src = pathlib.Path("/path/to/source")
+dst = pathlib.Path("/path/to/destination")
+
+# Simple copy
+copytree_reflink(src, dst)
+
+# With ignore patterns
+import shutil
+copytree_reflink(
+    src,
+    dst,
+    ignore=shutil.ignore_patterns("*.pyc", "__pycache__"),
+)
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+```{eval-rst}
+.. autofunction:: libvcs._internal.copy.copytree_reflink
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Strategy
+
+The function uses a **reflink-first + fallback** strategy:
+
+1. **Try `cp --reflink=auto`** - On Linux, this command attempts a reflink copy
+   and silently falls back to regular copy if the filesystem doesn't support it
+2. **Fallback to `shutil.copytree()`** - If `cp` fails (not found, permission issues,
+   or Windows), use Python's standard library
+
+### Ignore Patterns
+
+When using ignore patterns with `cp --reflink=auto`, the approach differs from
+`shutil.copytree()`:
+
+- **shutil.copytree**: Applies patterns during copy (never copies ignored files)
+- **cp --reflink**: Copies everything, then deletes ignored files
+
+This difference is acceptable because:
+- The overhead of post-copy deletion is minimal for typical ignore patterns
+- The performance gain from reflinks far outweighs this overhead on CoW filesystems
+
+## Use in pytest Fixtures
+
+This module is used by the `*_repo` fixtures in `libvcs.pytest_plugin` to create
+isolated test workspaces from cached master copies:
+
+```python
+# From pytest_plugin.py
+from libvcs._internal.copy import copytree_reflink
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def git_repo(...):
+    # ...
+    copytree_reflink(
+        master_copy,
+        new_checkout_path,
+        ignore=shutil.ignore_patterns(".libvcs_master_initialized"),
+    )
+    # ...
+```
+
+### Benefits for Test Fixtures
+
+1. **Faster on CoW filesystems** - Users on Btrfs/XFS see 10-100x speedup
+2. **No regression elsewhere** - ext4/Windows users see no performance change
+3. **Safe for writable workspaces** - Tests can modify files; master stays unchanged
+4. **Future-proof** - As more systems adopt CoW filesystems, benefits increase

+# FileLock - `libvcs._internal.file_lock`
+
+Typed, asyncio-friendly file locking based on [filelock](https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock) patterns.
+
+## Overview
+
+This module provides portable file-based locking using the **SoftFileLock** pattern
+(`os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL`) for atomic lock acquisition. It supports both synchronous
+and asynchronous contexts.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Atomic acquisition**: Uses `os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL` for race-free lock creation
+- **Reentrant locking**: Same thread can acquire lock multiple times
+- **Stale lock detection**: Auto-removes locks older than configurable timeout (default 5min)
+- **Async support**: {class}`~libvcs._internal.file_lock.AsyncFileLock` with `asyncio.sleep` polling
+- **Two-file pattern**: Lock file (temporary) + marker file (permanent)
+- **PID tracking**: Writes PID to lock file for debugging
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Synchronous Usage
+
+```python
+from libvcs._internal.file_lock import FileLock
+
+# Context manager (recommended)
+with FileLock("/tmp/my.lock"):
+    # Critical section - only one process at a time
+    pass
+
+# Explicit acquire/release
+lock = FileLock("/tmp/my.lock")
+lock.acquire()
+try:
+    # Critical section
+    pass
+finally:
+    lock.release()
+```
+
+### Asynchronous Usage
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from libvcs._internal.file_lock import AsyncFileLock
+
+async def main():
+    async with AsyncFileLock("/tmp/my.lock"):
+        # Async critical section
+        pass
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+### Atomic Initialization
+
+The {func}`~libvcs._internal.file_lock.atomic_init` function implements the **two-file pattern**
+for coordinating one-time initialization across multiple processes:
+
+```python
+from libvcs._internal.file_lock import atomic_init
+
+def expensive_init():
+    # One-time setup (e.g., clone repo, build cache)
+    pass
+
+# First call does initialization, subsequent calls skip
+did_init = atomic_init("/path/to/resource", expensive_init)
+```

+## Async Fixtures
+
+For async testing with [pytest-asyncio], libvcs provides async fixture variants:
+
+[pytest-asyncio]: https://pytest-asyncio.readthedocs.io/
+
+### Configuration
+
+Add pytest-asyncio to your test dependencies and configure strict mode:
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml
+[tool.pytest.ini_options]
+asyncio_mode = "strict"
+asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "function"
+```
+
+### Available Async Fixtures
+
+- {func}`async_git_repo` - An {class}`~libvcs.sync._async.git.AsyncGitSync` instance ready for testing
+- `async_create_git_remote_repo` - Factory to create temporary git repositories
+
+### Usage Example
+
+```python
+import pytest
+
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_async_repo_operations(async_git_repo):
+    """Test async repository operations."""
+    # async_git_repo is an AsyncGitSync instance
+    status = await async_git_repo.cmd.status()
+    assert 'On branch' in status
+
+    # Update the repo
+    await async_git_repo.update_repo()
+```
+
+### Creating Repositories in Async Tests
+
+```python
+import pytest
+from libvcs.sync._async.git import AsyncGitSync
+
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_clone_repo(tmp_path, create_git_remote_repo):
+    """Test cloning a repository asynchronously."""
+    remote = create_git_remote_repo()
+    repo = AsyncGitSync(
+        url=f'file://{remote}',
+        path=tmp_path / 'clone',
+    )
+    await repo.obtain()
+    assert (tmp_path / 'clone' / '.git').exists()
+```

+
+# Async Support
+
+libvcs provides **async equivalents** for all synchronous APIs, enabling
+non-blocking VCS operations ideal for managing multiple repositories
+concurrently.
+
+## Overview
+
+The async API mirrors the sync API with an `Async` prefix:
+
+| Sync Class | Async Equivalent |
+|------------|------------------|
+| {class}`~libvcs.cmd.git.Git` | {class}`~libvcs.cmd._async.git.AsyncGit` |
+| {class}`~libvcs.cmd.hg.Hg` | {class}`~libvcs.cmd._async.hg.AsyncHg` |
+| {class}`~libvcs.cmd.svn.Svn` | {class}`~libvcs.cmd._async.svn.AsyncSvn` |
+| {class}`~libvcs.sync.git.GitSync` | {class}`~libvcs.sync._async.git.AsyncGitSync` |
+| {class}`~libvcs.sync.hg.HgSync` | {class}`~libvcs.sync._async.hg.AsyncHgSync` |
+| {class}`~libvcs.sync.svn.SvnSync` | {class}`~libvcs.sync._async.svn.AsyncSvnSync` |
+
+## Why Async?
+
+Async APIs excel when:
+
+- **Managing multiple repositories** - Clone/update repos concurrently
+- **Building responsive applications** - UI remains responsive during VCS operations
+- **Integration with async frameworks** - FastAPI, aiohttp, etc.
+- **CI/CD pipelines** - Parallel repository operations
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Running Git Commands
+
+```python
+>>> from libvcs.cmd._async.git import AsyncGit
+>>> async def example():
+...     git = AsyncGit(path=tmp_path)
+...     await git.run(['init'])
+...     status = await git.status()
+...     return 'On branch' in status
+>>> asyncio.run(example())
+True
+```
+
+### Cloning a Repository
+
+```python
+>>> from libvcs.cmd._async.git import AsyncGit
+>>> async def clone_example():
+...     repo_path = tmp_path / 'myrepo'
+...     git = AsyncGit(path=repo_path)
+...     url = f'file://{create_git_remote_repo()}'
+...     await git.clone(url=url)
+...     return (repo_path / '.git').exists()
+>>> asyncio.run(clone_example())
+True
+```
+
+### Repository Synchronization
+
+For higher-level repository management, use the sync classes:
+
+```python
+>>> from libvcs.sync._async.git import AsyncGitSync
+>>> async def sync_example():
+...     url = f'file://{create_git_remote_repo()}'
+...     repo_path = tmp_path / 'synced_repo'
+...     repo = AsyncGitSync(url=url, path=repo_path)
+...     await repo.obtain()  # Clone
+...     await repo.update_repo()  # Pull updates
+...     return (repo_path / '.git').exists()
+>>> asyncio.run(sync_example())
+True
+```
+
+## Concurrent Operations
+
+The primary advantage of async is running operations concurrently:
+
+```python
+>>> from libvcs.sync._async.git import AsyncGitSync
+>>> async def concurrent_clone():
+...     urls = [
+...         f'file://{create_git_remote_repo()}',
+...         f'file://{create_git_remote_repo()}',
+...     ]
+...     tasks = []
+...     for i, url in enumerate(urls):
+...         repo = AsyncGitSync(url=url, path=tmp_path / f'repo_{i}')
+...         tasks.append(repo.obtain())
+...     await asyncio.gather(*tasks)  # Clone all concurrently
+...     return all((tmp_path / f'repo_{i}' / '.git').exists() for i in range(2))
+>>> asyncio.run(concurrent_clone())
+True
+```
+
+## Progress Callbacks
+
+Async APIs support async progress callbacks for real-time output streaming:
+
+```python
+>>> import datetime
+>>> from libvcs._internal.async_run import async_run
+>>> async def with_progress():
+...     output_lines = []
+...     async def progress(output: str, timestamp: datetime.datetime) -> None:
+...         output_lines.append(output)
+...     result = await async_run(['echo', 'hello'], callback=progress)
+...     return result.strip()
+>>> asyncio.run(with_progress())
+'hello'
+```
+
+For sync callbacks, use the wrapper:
+
+```python
+>>> from libvcs._internal.async_run import wrap_sync_callback
+>>> def my_sync_callback(output: str, timestamp: datetime.datetime) -> None:
+...     print(output, end='')
+>>> async_callback = wrap_sync_callback(my_sync_callback)
+```
+
+## Sync vs Async Comparison
+
+### Sync Pattern
+
+```python
+from libvcs.sync.git import GitSync
+
+repo = GitSync(url="https://github.com/user/repo", path="/tmp/repo")
+repo.obtain()  # Blocks until complete
+repo.update_repo()  # Blocks again
+```
+
+### Async Pattern
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from libvcs.sync._async.git import AsyncGitSync
+
+async def main():
+    repo = AsyncGitSync(url="https://github.com/user/repo", path="/tmp/repo")
+    await repo.obtain()  # Non-blocking
+    await repo.update_repo()
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Async methods raise the same exceptions as sync equivalents:
+
+```python
+>>> from libvcs import exc
+>>> from libvcs._internal.async_run import async_run
+>>> async def error_example():
+...     try:
+...         await async_run(['git', 'nonexistent-command'], check_returncode=True)
+...     except exc.CommandError as e:
+...         return 'error caught'
+...     return 'no error'
+>>> asyncio.run(error_example())
+'error caught'
+```
+
+### Timeout Handling
+
+```python
+>>> from libvcs import exc
+>>> from libvcs._internal.async_run import async_run
+>>> async def timeout_example():
+...     try:
+...         # Very short timeout for demo
+...         await async_run(['sleep', '10'], timeout=0.1)
+...     except exc.CommandTimeoutError:
+...         return 'timeout caught'
+...     return 'completed'
+>>> asyncio.run(timeout_example())
+'timeout caught'
+```
+
+## Testing with pytest-asyncio
+
+Use the async fixtures for testing:
+
+```python
+import pytest
+
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_repo_operations(async_git_repo):
+    # async_git_repo is an AsyncGitSync instance
+    status = await async_git_repo.cmd.status()
+    assert 'On branch' in status
+```
+
+See {doc}`/pytest-plugin` for available async fixtures.
+
+## When to Use Async
+
+| Scenario | Recommendation |
+|----------|----------------|
+| Single repository, simple script | Sync API (simpler) |
+| Multiple repositories concurrently | **Async API** |
+| Integration with async framework | **Async API** |
+| CI/CD with parallel operations | **Async API** |
+| Interactive CLI tool | Either (prefer sync for simplicity) |

+| Phase 8 | ✅ Complete | Async Documentation |
+
+---
+
+## Study Sources
+
+The following reference codebases were studied to inform this design:
+
+| Source | Path | Key Learnings |
+|--------|------|---------------|
+| **CPython asyncio** | `~/study/c/cpython/Lib/asyncio/` | Subprocess patterns, flow control, `communicate()` |
+| **pytest** | `~/study/python/pytest/` | Fixture system internals, parametrization |
+| **pytest-asyncio** | `~/study/python/pytest-asyncio/` | Async fixture wrapping, event loop management |
+| **git** | `~/study/c/git/` | VCS command patterns |
+
+### Key Files Studied
+
+- `cpython/Lib/asyncio/subprocess.py` - High-level async subprocess API
+- `cpython/Lib/asyncio/streams.py` - StreamReader/Writer with backpressure
+- `cpython/Lib/asyncio/base_subprocess.py` - Protocol/Transport implementation
+- `pytest-asyncio/pytest_asyncio/plugin.py` - Fixture wrapping, loop lifecycle
+
+---
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| **Scope** | Full stack (subprocess → cmd → sync) | Complete async workflows |
+| **Organization** | Separate `_async/` subpackages | Clean separation, maintainable |
+| **Callbacks** | Async-only for async APIs | Better DX, typing, no runtime overhead |
+| **Testing** | 100% coverage, pytest-asyncio strict mode | Reliability, isolation |
+| **Typing** | Fully typed, no `Any` escapes | Type safety, IDE support |
+
+---
+
+## Verification Before Commit
+
+**REQUIRED**: Before committing any phase or making a PR, run the full verification pipeline:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff check . --fix --show-fixes
+uv run ruff format .
+uv run mypy
+uv run pytest --reruns 0 -vvv
+```
+
+All checks must pass:
+- `ruff check`: No linting errors
+- `ruff format`: No formatting changes needed
+- `mypy`: Success with no type errors
+- `pytest`: All tests pass (0 failures)
+
+---
+
+## DOs
+
+### Subprocess Execution
+- **DO** use `communicate()` for all subprocess I/O (prevents deadlocks)
+- **DO** use `asyncio.timeout()` context manager for timeouts
+- **DO** handle `BrokenPipeError` gracefully (process may exit early)
+- **DO** use try/finally for resource cleanup
+
+### API Design
+- **DO** keep sync and async APIs parallel in `_async/` subpackages
+- **DO** share argument-building logic between sync/async variants
+- **DO** use async-only callbacks for async APIs (no `inspect.isawaitable()`)
+- **DO** provide `wrap_sync_callback()` helper for users with sync callbacks
+- **DO** use `Async` prefix for async classes: `AsyncGit`, `AsyncGitSync`
+
+### Testing
+- **DO** use strict mode for pytest-asyncio
+- **DO** use function-scoped event loops for test isolation
+- **DO** use `@pytest_asyncio.fixture` for async fixtures
+- **DO** use `NamedTuple` with `test_id` for parametrized tests
+- **DO** mirror sync test structure for async tests
+
+### Typing
+- **DO** use `from __future__ import annotations` in all files
+- **DO** use `import typing as t` namespace pattern
+- **DO** provide explicit return type annotations
+- **DO** use Protocol classes for callback types
+
+---
+
+## DON'Ts
+
+### Subprocess Execution
+- **DON'T** poll `returncode` - use `await proc.wait()`
+- **DON'T** read stdout/stderr manually for bidirectional I/O
+- **DON'T** close event loop in user code
+- **DON'T** mix blocking `subprocess.run()` in async code
+- **DON'T** create new event loops manually
+
+### API Design
+- **DON'T** use union types for callbacks (`None | Awaitable[None]`)
+- **DON'T** break backward compatibility of sync APIs
+- **DON'T** leak event loop details into public APIs
+
+### Testing
+- **DON'T** assume tests run concurrently (they're sequential)
+- **DON'T** close event loop in tests (pytest-asyncio handles cleanup)
+- **DON'T** mismatch fixture scope and loop scope
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Core Async Subprocess (Foundation)
+
+**Goal:** Create async subprocess wrapper matching `SubprocessCommand` API.
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `src/libvcs/_internal/async_subprocess.py`
+
+**Key patterns:**
+```python
+@dataclasses.dataclass
+class AsyncSubprocessCommand:
+    args: list[str]
+    cwd: pathlib.Path | None = None
+    env: dict[str, str] | None = None
+
+    async def run(self, *, check: bool = True, timeout: float | None = None) -> tuple[str, str, int]:
+        proc = await asyncio.create_subprocess_shell(...)
+        async with asyncio.timeout(timeout):
+            stdout, stderr = await proc.communicate()
+        return stdout.decode(), stderr.decode(), proc.returncode
+```
+
+**Tests:**
+- `tests/_internal/test_async_subprocess.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Async Run Function
+
+**Goal:** Async equivalent of `_internal/run.py` with output parsing.
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `src/libvcs/_internal/async_run.py`
+
+**Key considerations:**
+- Reuse output parsing logic from `run.py`
+- Async callback protocol: `async def callback(output: str, timestamp: datetime) -> None`
+- Stream output line-by-line using `StreamReader.readline()`
+
+**Tests:**
+- `tests/_internal/test_async_run.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Async Command Classes
+
+**Goal:** Async equivalents of `Git`, `Hg`, `Svn` command classes.
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `src/libvcs/cmd/_async/__init__.py`
+- `src/libvcs/cmd/_async/git.py` - `AsyncGit`
+- `src/libvcs/cmd/_async/hg.py` - `AsyncHg`
+- `src/libvcs/cmd/_async/svn.py` - `AsyncSvn`
+
+**Strategy:**
+- Extract argument-building to shared functions
+- Async methods call `await self.run()` instead of `self.run()`
+- Manager classes (GitRemoteManager, etc.) get async variants
+
+**Tests:**
+- `tests/cmd/_async/test_git.py`
+- `tests/cmd/_async/test_hg.py`
+- `tests/cmd/_async/test_svn.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Async Sync Classes
+
+**Goal:** Async equivalents of `GitSync`, `HgSync`, `SvnSync`.
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `src/libvcs/sync/_async/__init__.py`
+- `src/libvcs/sync/_async/base.py` - `AsyncBaseSync`
+- `src/libvcs/sync/_async/git.py` - `AsyncGitSync`
+- `src/libvcs/sync/_async/hg.py` - `AsyncHgSync`
+- `src/libvcs/sync/_async/svn.py` - `AsyncSvnSync`
+
+**Key patterns:**
+```python
+class AsyncGitSync(AsyncBaseSync):
+    async def obtain(self, ...) -> None:
+        await self.cmd.clone(...)
+
+    async def update_repo(self, ...) -> None:
+        await self.cmd.fetch(...)
+        await self.cmd.checkout(...)
+```
+
+**Tests:**
+- `tests/sync/_async/test_git.py`
+- `tests/sync/_async/test_hg.py`
+- `tests/sync/_async/test_svn.py`
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Async pytest Plugin
+
+**Goal:** Async fixture variants for testing.
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `src/libvcs/pytest_plugin.py` - Add async fixtures
+
+**New fixtures:**
+- `async_create_git_remote_repo`
+- `async_create_hg_remote_repo`
+- `async_create_svn_remote_repo`
+- `async_git_repo`, `async_hg_repo`, `async_svn_repo`
+
+**Pattern:**
+```python
+@pytest_asyncio.fixture(loop_scope="function")
+async def async_git_repo(tmp_path: Path) -> t.AsyncGenerator[AsyncGitSync, None]:
+    repo = AsyncGitSync(url="...", path=tmp_path / "repo")
+    await repo.obtain()
+    yield repo
+```
+
+---
+
+## Test Strategy
+
+### pytest Configuration
+
+```toml
+# pyproject.toml
+[tool.pytest.ini_options]
+asyncio_mode = "strict"
+asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "function"
+```
+
+### Parametrized Test Pattern
+
+```python
+class CloneFixture(t.NamedTuple):
+    test_id: str
+    clone_kwargs: dict[str, t.Any]
+    expected: list[str]
+
+CLONE_FIXTURES = [
+    CloneFixture("basic", {}, [".git"]),
+    CloneFixture("shallow", {"depth": 1}, [".git"]),
+]
+
+@pytest.mark.parametrize(
+    list(CloneFixture._fields),
+    CLONE_FIXTURES,
+    ids=[f.test_id for f in CLONE_FIXTURES],
+)
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_clone(test_id: str, clone_kwargs: dict, expected: list, ...) -> None:
+    ...
+```
+
+### Coverage Goal
+
+- **Target:** 100% coverage for all async code
+- **Approach:** Mirror sync tests, add async-specific edge cases
+- **Tools:** pytest-cov, pytest-asyncio
+
+---
+
+## Type Strategy
+
+### Callback Types
+
+```python
+# Sync callback (unchanged)
+ProgressCallback = Callable[[str, datetime], None]
+
+# Async callback (for async APIs only)
+AsyncProgressCallback = Callable[[str, datetime], Awaitable[None]]
+
+# Protocol for type checking
+class AsyncProgressProtocol(t.Protocol):
+    async def __call__(self, output: str, timestamp: datetime) -> None: ...
+```
+
+### Helper for Sync Callback Users
+
+```python
+def wrap_sync_callback(
+    sync_cb: Callable[[str, datetime], None]
+) -> AsyncProgressProtocol:
+    """Wrap a sync callback for use with async APIs."""
+    async def wrapper(output: str, timestamp: datetime) -> None:
+        sync_cb(output, timestamp)
+    return wrapper
+```

+"""Typed, asyncio-friendly file locking based on filelock patterns.
+
+This module provides atomic file-based locking with support for both synchronous
+and asynchronous contexts. It uses the SoftFileLock pattern (``os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL``)
+for portable, atomic lock acquisition.
+
+Note
+----
+This is an internal API not covered by versioning policy.
+
+Design Principles
+-----------------
+1. **Atomic acquisition**: Uses ``os.O_CREAT | os.O_EXCL`` for race-free lock creation
+2. **Reentrant locking**: Same thread can acquire lock multiple times
+3. **Stale lock detection**: Auto-removes locks older than configurable timeout
+4. **Async support**: :class:`AsyncFileLock` wraps sync lock with ``asyncio.sleep``
+5. **PID tracking**: Writes PID to lock file for debugging
+6. **Two-file pattern**: Lock file (temporary) + marker file (permanent)
+
+Examples
+--------
+Basic synchronous usage:
+
+>>> import tempfile
+>>> import pathlib
+>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir:
+...     lock_path = pathlib.Path(tmpdir) / "my.lock"
+...     lock = FileLock(lock_path)
+...     with lock:
+...         # Critical section - only one process at a time
+...         pass
+...     lock.is_locked
+False
+
+Async usage:
+
+>>> async def example():
+...     import tempfile
+...     import pathlib
+...     with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir:
+...         lock_path = pathlib.Path(tmpdir) / "my.lock"
+...         async with AsyncFileLock(lock_path):
+...             # Async critical section
+...             pass
+...         return "done"
+>>> asyncio.run(example())
+'done'
+
+Two-file atomic initialization pattern:
+
+>>> def do_expensive_init():
+...     pass  # Expensive one-time setup
+>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir:
+...     path = pathlib.Path(tmpdir) / "resource"
+...     path.mkdir()
+...     result = atomic_init(path, do_expensive_init)
+...     result  # True if we did init, False if another process did
+True
