policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed — correct local CLAUDE.md - #83
Conversation
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NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per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.

Pull Request Overview
This PR successfully updates the .claude/CLAUDE.md policy to promote Bun to Tier 1 and deprecate Deno, aligning with the project's standardization goals. Codacy analysis indicates the changes are up to standards.
However, there is a clear gap in the implementation: the PR description details 'ReScript purge' repairs that are missing from the file diff. Furthermore, a logical contradiction exists in the Bun runtime description which claims direct TypeScript execution, potentially conflicting with the project's 'No new TypeScript files' rule. These issues, along with a minor markdown syntax error, should be addressed before merging.
About this PR
- The PR description details several 'ReScript purge' repairs, such as restoring the ReScript name to the banned list and fixing truncated rule text. However, these changes are absent from the diff. Please verify if these updates were intended for this PR or if the description needs to be adjusted.
Test suggestions
- Verify Bun is promoted to Tier 1 and Deno is removed from Allowed Tools
- Verify Bun replaces Deno as the designated replacement for Node/npm/yarn in the Banned table
- Verify Enforcement Rules require package.json and bun.lock files
- Verify Enforcement Rules specify 'bun install --production' for production deps
- Verify ReScript names and rule text are restored in policy tables

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The phrase 'Executes .ts directly, no build step' contradicts Enforcement Rule 1 ('No new TypeScript files'). Clarify that Bun is used as a runtime for AffineScript-compiled JS or glue code. Try running the following prompt in your coding agent: > Remove the phrase 'Executes .ts directly, no build step' from the Bun entry in .claude/CLAUDE.md to resolve the contradiction with the 'No new TypeScript files' rule.
| 2. **No package.json for runtime deps** - Use deno.json imports | ||
| 3. **No node_modules in production** - Deno caches deps automatically | ||
| 2. **Use `package.json` + `bun.lock` for JS runtime deps** - Bun is npm-compatible; a manifest is REQUIRED | ||
| 3. **`bun install --production` for production deps** - resolved from `package.json`, pinned via `bun.lock` |

⚪ LOW RISK
The command formatting is missing an opening backtick. Try running the following prompt in your coding agent: > Correct the markdown formatting on line 51 of .claude/CLAUDE.md by adding a starting backtick before 'bun install' and ensuring the command is correctly enclosed in backticks.

Bun’s
--productionoption automatically implies--frozen-lockfile, sobun install --productionenforces the versions inbun.lock.
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.
Declined, with reasons: "a npm-compatible" — LanguageTool is wrong; "an" is correct before a vowel sound. " Dismissing the stale review on that basis; the original review, this reply, and the dismissal reason all remain on the PR. |
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Align the documented workflow with the new tool policy.
README.adoc still requires Deno, Node.js, and npm in its prerequisites and development commands at Lines [99-120] and [300-330]. This policy now bans those tools and requires Bun. Update README.adoc to use the supported Bun workflow, or add an explicit transition exception to this policy.
