Somewhat confused to be honest, is the shifter moving the cable? But the Derailleur isn?t moving?
As side note GRX is compatible with lots of other group-sets I have GRX/Tiagra/Sora mix on the Gravel bike.

Why are you pulling the gear wire? Is that while riding?
Don't do that.
Or during installation? In that case, ensure the lever is
fully returned to low before securing the wire. Shouldn't
hear any clicks.

I got it working. The connection through the reel is pretty tricky. You
have to hold it in p;lace and then shift up a gear to lock in place. Same
on the other side. Then you pull the wire tight at the other end and
shift down and take out the slack. Then shift bach and take out the slack again. These disk brake bikes are heavy, The complete build on this superlight frame is still 20 lbs at the end.

With road bikes going for wider tyres, and aero bits and bobs, and
electronic gear weights have crept up, this said the uk hill climb bikes do see bikes around the 6KG mark disks or not, do occasionally see bikes
getting sub 5KG but thats more folks having fun with weird and expensive
one of bits of kits than a bike that is race fit!

Always been that way. Beryl Burton showed up at time trials
(and won more often than not for 25 years) with some scary
light machines 60 years ago.

or lack of it though with some spectacular if perhaps not particularly functional machines!
Perhaps bikes at the time were heavy enough to make a difference?

functional machines!

All of these super-light bikes are fearsomely dangerous. Especially the
steel bikes which are .7 mm thick steel tubing custom made and on 48 cm frames. I had a Look 495 that weighed just over 14 lbs without water and
flat kit. It was a 58 cm. It bounced around on the road so much that I
very quickly sold it off.
Using much of the Beryl Burton equipment, here's an example
from when road racing bikes were 21lb.

Notice that that bike is a 52 sm or so. Small bikes wee surprisingly
light since all of the xcomponents and wheels all wwighed the same.
Some of mu bikes (60 cm) are as heavy as 24 lbs and at my old average
speed before 2024, I couldn't tell any real difference. Of course this
was when hill roads were open. They are still mostly closed. California
isn't repairing anything.
My BMC is 19 lbs without water of flat kit. My latest DeRosa Idol will be
20 lbs. My DeRosa Merak is 20 lbs, My Colnago Dream HP is 22 lbs. My Moser M82 is 21 lbs.
