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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated development guidance to identify Bun as the default JavaScript and TypeScript runtime and package manager.
    • Replaced references to Deno with Bun across supported tooling, package management, and enforcement guidance.
    • Updated JavaScript usage notes to reference AffineScript and Bun APIs.
    • Added guidance requiring frozen Bun lockfiles for production dependency installation.
    • Updated one-off tooling guidance to use Bun’s bunx command without installing packages.

Walkthrough

The project guidance replaces Deno with Bun for JavaScript and TypeScript execution, dependency management, enforcement rules, and one-off tooling. It also updates JavaScript guidance from ReScript and Deno APIs to AffineScript and Bun APIs.

Changes

Runtime policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bun runtime and package management guidance
ipv6-only/.claude/CLAUDE.md
The allowed tools, banned tools, enforcement rules, and package management sections now require Bun with package.json and bun.lock. JavaScript guidance now references AffineScript and Bun APIs.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b7d4e

The policy now prioritizes Bun, but repository enforcement still directs contributors toward Deno and rejects Bun-related lockfiles, so following the documented policy can fail repository checks. The policy also names two different replacement targets for TypeScript. Merge should wait for enforcement synchronization and one deterministic language target.

Pull Request Overview

This PR successfully updates the runtime policy to promote Bun to Tier 1 and remove Deno. It correctly mandates the use of package.json and bun.lock for dependency management.

The primary concern is the incomplete transition from 'ReScript' to 'AffineScript'. The policy currently contains contradictory instructions—defining 'ReScript' as the primary application code in one section while referencing 'AffineScript' as the target in others. Additionally, the PR description indicates that Rule 1 should be changed to 'No new ReScript files', but the code maintains 'No new TypeScript files'.

These inconsistencies should be resolved to provide a clear, machine-readable policy for AI assistants. Codacy analysis indicates the file is up to standards, but these logic and terminology gaps in the instructions are significant enough to warrant revision.

About this PR

  • The document currently presents a contradictory language policy. While some sections point to AffineScript, 'ReScript' is still listed as the primary application code (line 22) and the replacement for TypeScript (line 40). These must be unified to prevent AI agents from generating code in the wrong format or following outdated standards.
  • The PR description references specific changes to the BANNED table (regarding ReScript and AffineScript) that do not appear in the code changes. Please verify if these changes were missed or if the description needs updating.

Test suggestions

  • Bun is promoted to tier 1 in the ALLOWED languages table
  • Deno is removed and replaced by Bun in the BANNED replacements table
  • Enforcement Rule 2 is updated to mandate package.json and bun.lock
  • Enforcement Rule 3 is updated to specify production installation via Bun
  • JavaScript use-case notes are updated to reference AffineScript and Bun APIs

TIP Improve review quality by adding custom instructions
TIP How was this review? Give us feedback

1. **No new TypeScript files** - Convert existing TS to ReScript
2. **No package.json for runtime deps** - Use deno.json imports
3. **No node_modules in production** - Deno caches deps automatically

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The implementation on this line diverges from the PR description. The description claims the rule is 'No new ReScript files', specifically regarding the conversion of '.res' files to '.affine', but the code currently states 'No new TypeScript files'.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The language policy is inconsistent. While lines 29 and 62 have been updated to 'AffineScript', references in lines 22, 40, and 66 still point to 'ReScript'. This creates a contradiction in the instructions for the AI assistant. Standardize the language policy by replacing all remaining instances of 'ReScript' with 'AffineScript' (specifically in lines 22, 40, and 66) to ensure consistent instructions for code conversion and application development.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use one replacement language throughout the policy.

This file now names ReScript and AffineScript as the replacement for TypeScript. Line 40 maps TypeScript to ReScript, and Line 22 still calls ReScript the primary application language, but these changed rules direct migration and JavaScript fallback to AffineScript. Align the table and rules so assistants receive one deterministic migration target.

Comment thread ipv6-only/.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
hyperpolymath dismissed coderabbitai[bot]’s stale review August 27, 2026 00:18

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, across every
subproject CLAUDE.md in this repository.

ReScript was absent from the BANNED table although canon bans it (destination
AffineScript). Enforcement Rule 3 omitted `--frozen-lockfile`, so a lockfile
mismatch silently re-resolved instead of failing.

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

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Synchronise repository enforcement with the Bun policy.

ipv6-only/Mustfile.epx still allows Deno and bans Bun. ipv6-only/.github/workflows/ci.yml and ipv6-only/scripts/pre-commit still direct contributors to Deno and reject Bun-related lockfiles. Following these new instructions can therefore fail the repository’s own enforcement. Update those enforcement files before making Bun tier 1.
