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.

change in this diff
ALLOWED: Deno row → Bun, tier 1
BANNED: | Bun | Deno | row removed
BANNED: Deno added, replacement Bun
BANNED: Node.js/npm/pnpm/yarn → Bun
rule: manifest now required (package.json + bun.lock)
rule: bun install --production replaces the node_modules rule
pkg mgmt: JS deps → Bun, bunx --no-install --bun
repaired blanking scar: Only where cannot → Only where AffineScript cannot

⚠ 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).

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.

46-46: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality

Reconcile the Deno ban with repository-owned tooling.

mise.toml still provisions node, denojs, npm, yarn, and pnpm. examples/web-project-deno.json still runs Deno tasks. If these files remain supported, the new policy conflicts with the repository's actual tooling. Migrate the supported paths to Bun, or document a scoped legacy exception. This repeats the earlier mise.toml finding.


70-70: 🩺 Stability & Availability

No package.json exists in the repository, and mise.toml declares bun = "latest". No runtime optionalDependencies usage is established.


📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

    • Updated development guidance to standardise Bun for JavaScript and TypeScript workflows.
    • Clarified package installation, dependency management and production setup instructions.
    • Revised supported and recommended tooling guidance for greater consistency across development environments.
  • User Impact

    • No changes to the application’s user-facing features or behaviour.
    • Development and deployment workflows now follow Bun-based instructions.

Walkthrough

The project instructions replace Deno with Bun for JavaScript and TypeScript execution, dependency management, production installation, and one-off tooling.

Changes

Bun runtime policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime and tooling rules
.claude/CLAUDE.md
The allowed and banned language tables define Bun as the supported runtime and replacement for Node.js ecosystem tools.
Dependency management rules
.claude/CLAUDE.md
The enforcement and package management rules require package.json, bun.lock, frozen production installs, and bunx --no-install --bun.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5bbf6

The policy now prioritizes Bun, bans Deno, and requires Bun manifests, while repository tooling still includes Deno paths and no package manifest is present. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness that these supported paths and requirements must be reconciled.

Poem

A rabbit hops where Deno stood,
Bun now runs the scripts as it should.
Lockfiles rest in tidy rows,
bunx keeps the tooling close.
New rules guide each package bright,
And keep the project steps precise.

Comment thread .claude/CLAUDE.md
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).

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
hyperpolymath dismissed coderabbitai[bot]’s stale review August 27, 2026 00:12

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.

Addresses the two live static-analysis findings on this PR.

ReScript was absent from the BANNED table although canon bans it (destination
AffineScript), so the table read as permitting it.

Enforcement Rule 3 said `bun install --production` with no `--frozen-lockfile`,
so a lockfile mismatch silently re-resolved instead of failing, which defeats
the point of committing `bun.lock`.

Enforcement Rule 1 is deliberately untouched: standards#655 records that
collision as not resolvable unilaterally.
