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
repaired blanking scar: | **** |AffineScript

⚠ 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. 2 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

  • Chores
    • Updated project guidance to use Bun as the standard JavaScript and TypeScript runtime and package manager.
    • Standardised dependency installation, lockfiles, and one-off tooling around Bun and bunx.
    • Replaced references to Deno, Node.js, npm, pnpm, and yarn in development workflows.
    • Clarified supported AffineScript targets and preferred tooling for JavaScript-based workflows.
    • Added guidance for reproducible production dependency installation.

Walkthrough

The project guidance changes its JavaScript runtime and package-management policy from Deno to Bun. It updates runtime targets, banned-tool replacements, dependency enforcement, production installation, dependency declarations, and one-off tooling guidance.

Changes

Bun policy migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime and tool policy
.claude/CLAUDE.md, aletheia/.claude/CLAUDE.md
Bun replaces Deno as the default JavaScript runtime and package manager. Runtime targets, API references, and banned-tool replacement rules now use Bun.
Dependency enforcement
.claude/CLAUDE.md, aletheia/.claude/CLAUDE.md
JavaScript dependencies now require package.json and bun.lock. Production installation uses bun install, and one-off tools use bunx --no-install --bun.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0e0c1

The policy changes are mergeable with explicit owner follow-up because some repository-owned tooling still advertises Deno/npm behavior and the local production-install guidance may need a frozen lockfile; these create bounded consistency and reproducibility risk but no supported high-impact runtime or security risk.

Pull Request Overview

The PR updates the repository policy to establish Bun as the Tier 1 JS/TS runtime and package manager. However, there are significant discrepancies between the PR description and the implementation: the promised restoration of ReScript terminology in Enforcement Rule 1 is missing, and the claim regarding 'blanking scar' repairs in the JavaScript column appears inaccurate as the text already exists. Additionally, while Deno is being removed as a tier 1 runtime, it should be explicitly added to the BANNED tables to prevent regression and ensure full transition to Bun. Codacy analysis confirms the code is otherwise up to standards.

About this PR

  • Discrepancy in Acceptance Criteria: The restoration of ReScript terminology in Enforcement Rule 1 and the policy tables is missing from the diff, despite being highlighted in the PR description as a primary goal. Please update the files to ensure ReScript is correctly referenced where intended.
Low confidence findings
  • The PR description mentions repairing a 'blanking scar' in the JavaScript policy column ('Only where AffineScript cannot'), but the diff indicates this text was already present in the existing version of the file.

No lockfile flag change is required.

Bun’s --production mode already enables --frozen-lockfile behaviour and rejects manifest/lockfile drift in both policy files.

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
hyperpolymath dismissed coderabbitai[bot]’s stale review August 27, 2026 00:20

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.

Do not add the ReScript prohibition.

aletheia documentation explicitly permits ReScript for application code and lists it as the replacement for TypeScript. The local policy therefore has an established ReScript policy, so adding a prohibition would conflict with aletheia’s documented standards.
