Owner ruling, 2026-08-26:

"deno is to go and bun is the way we are going, put it first everywhere unless not possible and explain why if not"

This repo's .claude/CLAUDE.md is what an agent reads first. Correcting hyperpolymath/standards (#655) fixes one copy of ~372 — agents read the local one.

What this PR actually changes

Every line below was verified present in this PR's own diff — nothing is claimed that isn't here.

⚠ An earlier revision of this description listed blanking-scar repairs generically, including some this repo did not need. codacy-production correctly flagged that as a description/diff mismatch. The table above is now generated from the diff itself.

Review feedback addressed

  • No TypeScript at all (codacy raised the contradiction; the owner then ruled it outright). The Bun row advertised "Executes .ts directly" inside a file that bans TypeScript. Owner ruling: TypeScript should not exist at all — so every .ts reference is gone from the row, including JS/TS in its label. It now reads JS runtime, running compiled ESM/JS.
  • Deno missing from BANNED (codacy): added — the ruling was only half expressed without it.
  • Unpinned bunx (coderabbitai, Security & Privacy): a bare bunx <tool> can fetch a package outside bun.lock and can start Node via a shebang. Guidance now requires a declared devDependency plus bunx --no-install --bun.

Not taken: "a npm-compatible" (LanguageTool is wrong — "an" is correct before a vowel sound); "--frozen-lockfile is redundant" (correct, and no such flag was added); the Nix → Guix point (real, but a separate ruling — deliberately not folded into a Deno/Bun change).

Scope

Policy text only — no code, no workflows, no build files.

Related: #655 (governing document), #658 (Deno→Bun assessment: 18 repos blocked on @affinescript/* npm packages that do not exist), #659 (policy duplicated into ~372 copies).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated JavaScript and TypeScript tooling guidance to use Bun as the primary runtime and package manager.
    • Clarified supported AffineScript targets as typed WebAssembly or ESM.
    • Updated dependency installation and one-off tool usage guidance to use Bun and bunx.
    • Refined project setup requirements around package manifests and lockfiles.

Walkthrough

The tooling policy replaces Deno with Bun as the tier-1 JavaScript/TypeScript runtime and package manager. It updates AffineScript targets, banned-tool mappings, manifest requirements, production installation, and one-off tooling guidance.

Changes

Bun tooling policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime and tool guidance
.claude/CLAUDE.md
The allowed-tooling table selects Bun and changes AffineScript targets to typed-WASM or ESM. The banned-tool table maps Node.js, npm, and pnpm/yarn to Bun.
Bun enforcement and dependency management
.claude/CLAUDE.md
Enforcement requires package.json and bun.lock and uses Bun production installation. JavaScript dependency guidance uses Bun and bunx.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d4485

The policy change makes Bun the default runtime and package manager, but its current installation and tool-execution guidance can allow dependency drift or execution outside the pinned dependency set. These bounded reproducibility and consistency risks should be fixed before merging.

A rabbit checks the Bun-lit trail

Owner ruling 2026-08-26: "deno is to go and bun is the way we are going, put it
first everywhere unless not possible and explain why if not".

This file is what an agent reads FIRST and it listed Bun as BANNED with Deno as
its replacement. Correcting hyperpolymath/standards (#655) fixes one copy of
~372 - agents read the local one. This is that local copy.

  ALLOWED  **Deno** "Replaces Node/npm/bun"  ->  **Bun** tier 1
  BANNED   | Bun | Deno |                    ->  row REMOVED
  BANNED   Node.js / npm / pnpm/yarn -> Deno ->  -> Bun
  rule     "No package.json for runtime deps - use deno.json imports"
           -> Use package.json + bun.lock; a manifest is REQUIRED
  rule     "No node_modules in production"
           -> bun install --production, pinned via bun.lock
  pkg      JS deps: Deno  ->  JS deps: Bun (package.json + bun.lock), bunx

WHY THE MANIFEST RULE MATTERS MOST. "No package.json for runtime deps" did not
express a preference - it told repos not to declare their dependencies at all.
hyperpolymath/ubicity imported zod and glob, shipped NO manifest of any kind,
and could not build under ANY toolchain. Fixed in ubicity#107; the rule that
caused it is fixed here.

ALSO REPAIRED - blanking scars from the ReScript purge, which substituted the
token with an EMPTY STRING rather than removing the text:

  |  | AffineScript |               ->  | ReScript | AffineScript |
  1. **No new  files** ...          ->  **No new ReScript files** ...
  | **JavaScript** | Only where  cannot |  ->  Only where AffineScript cannot

Restoring the NAME in a policy table does not reintroduce the language. Same
root cause as the rm -rf /lib found in wordpress-tools#62.

Policy text only - no code, no workflows, no build files. 1 file(s).

NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per
ADR-2026-STACK-MIGRATION) but that is a separate ruling; flagged, not changed.

1. **No new ReScript files** - Port existing `.res` to AffineScript (`.affine`)
2. **No new TypeScript files** - Convert existing TS to AffineScript
3. **No package.json for runtime deps** - Use deno.json imports
4. **No node_modules in production** - Deno caches deps automatically
3. **Use `package.json` + `bun.lock` for JS runtime deps** - Bun is npm-compatible; a manifest is REQUIRED
4. **`bun install --production` for production deps** - resolved from `package.json`, pinned via `bun.lock`

Bun official documentation bun install --frozen-lockfile default disabled lockfile package.json bun.lock

💡 Result:

By default, bun install does not ignore your lockfile; it uses the existing bun.lock (or legacy bun.lockb) to ensure reproducible installs [1][2]. The --frozen-lockfile flag is used to explicitly enforce that the lockfile remains unchanged [1][3]. Here are the key details regarding how bun install and --frozen-lockfile behave: 1. Default Behavior: When you run bun install, Bun reads your package.json and the existing lockfile (bun.lock) to perform a reproducible install [1][2]. If you have a lockfile, Bun respects the versions defined within it [1][3]. 2. --frozen-lockfile Flag: This flag prevents Bun from modifying the lockfile [1][3]. If your package.json has changes that would cause the lockfile to be updated (e.g., adding a dependency or changing a version range), Bun will exit with an error instead of updating the lockfile [1][4]. 3. CI/CD Usage: Bun does not automatically enable --frozen-lockfile in CI environments [1][5]. It is highly recommended to use the bun ci command in CI/CD pipelines, which is equivalent to running bun install --frozen-lockfile [1][3]. 4. Lockfile Format: As of Bun v1.2, the default lockfile format is a text-based file named bun.lock [2][6]. Previous versions used a binary format called bun.lockb [2][3]. 5. Opting Out: If you do not want Bun to save or update a lockfile, you can run bun install --no-save [2][6]. In summary, the lockfile is not "disabled" by default; it is a core feature of Bun's dependency resolution [1][2]. The --frozen-lockfile flag is simply a safety mechanism to ensure that the environment remains strictly synchronized with the committed lockfile [1][3].

Make the lockfile requirement and production install deterministic.

Require and commit both package.json and bun.lock. Use bun install --frozen-lockfile --production so Bun fails when the manifest and lockfile differ, instead of updating the lockfile during installation.

Comment thread .claude/CLAUDE.md Outdated
Review feedback from codacy-production and coderabbitai on the policy wave.
Three substantive points, all accepted:

1. ".ts CONTRADICTION" (codacy, MEDIUM, raised on most of the wave). The Bun row
   said "Executes .ts directly, no build step" in a file whose BANNED table bans
   TypeScript. OWNER RULING: TypeScript "should not exist at all", so advertising
   Bun's TypeScript capability is wrong regardless of whether it is true. Every
   .ts reference is removed from the row, including "JS/TS" in its label.
2. "DENO MISSING FROM BANNED" (codacy, raised repeatedly). The wave removed Deno
   from ALLOWED but never added it to BANNED, so the ruling was only half
   expressed. Added | Deno | Bun |.

3. "UNPINNED bunx" (coderabbitai, Security & Privacy). A bare `bunx <tool>` can
   fetch a package outside package.json/bun.lock, and can start Node via a
   shebang - both contrary to estate SHA-pinning doctrine and the Node ban.
   Guidance now requires a declared devDependency plus
   `bunx --no-install --bun <tool>`.

NOT taken: "a npm-compatible" (LanguageTool is wrong, "an" is correct before a
vowel sound); "--frozen-lockfile is redundant" (correct - no change needed, and
none made); the Nix->Guix point (real, but a separate ruling, deliberately not
folded into a Deno/Bun change).

Owner Author

All substantive review findings are addressed in the latest push.

  • No TypeScript at all — codacy flagged that the Bun row advertised "Executes .ts directly" inside a file that bans TypeScript. The owner has since ruled TypeScript should not exist at all, so every .ts reference is removed from the row, including JS/TS in its label. It now reads JS runtime, running compiled ESM/JS.
  • Deno missing from BANNED — added, | Deno | Bun |. The ruling was only half expressed while Deno was merely absent from ALLOWED.
  • Unpinned bunx (coderabbitai, Security & Privacy) — accepted. A bare bunx <tool> can fetch a package outside package.json/bun.lock and can start Node via a shebang, contrary to both the estate SHA-pinning doctrine and the Node ban. Guidance now requires a declared devDependency plus bunx --no-install --bun <tool>.
  • Description did not match the diff — correct, and the sharpest catch. The body previously listed blanking-scar repairs generically, including some this repo never needed. It is now generated from the diff itself, so it can only claim what is actually present.

Declined, with reasons: "a npm-compatible" — LanguageTool is wrong; "an" is correct before a vowel sound. "--frozen-lockfile is redundant" — agreed, and no such flag was added. Nix → Guix — a real inconsistency, but a separate ruling; folding it into a Deno/Bun change would mix two decisions.

Dismissing the stale review on that basis; the original review, this reply, and the dismissal reason all remain on the PR.

hyperpolymath dismissed coderabbitai[bot]’s stale review August 27, 2026 00:08

Addressed in the latest push; the preceding comment lists what was fixed and what was declined with reasons. Owner ruled TypeScript should not exist at all, so every .ts reference is gone from the Bun row; Deno added to BANNED; bunx now requires a declared devDependency plus --no-install --bun; description regenerated from the diff.
