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. 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

  • Documentation
    • Updated development guidance to use Bun as the standard JavaScript runtime and package manager.
    • Added instructions for managing dependencies with package.json, bun.lock, and frozen production installs.
    • Updated tooling guidance to use Bun-compatible commands and clarified supported and prohibited tools.

Walkthrough

The two CLAUDE.md files replace Deno guidance with Bun guidance. They update allowed and banned tools, require package.json and bun.lock, and document frozen production installs and local tool execution.

Changes

Bun toolchain policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bun toolchain and replacement rules
augmented/.claude/CLAUDE.md, config-reporter/.claude/CLAUDE.md
The policy identifies Bun as the default JavaScript runtime and package manager. It updates JavaScript API references and replacement rules. It adds ReScript with AffineScript as its replacement.
Bun manifest and dependency enforcement
augmented/.claude/CLAUDE.md, config-reporter/.claude/CLAUDE.md
The policy requires package.json and bun.lock. It requires bun install --production --frozen-lockfile and documents bunx --no-install --bun <tool> for declared tooling.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bafaf

The PR makes Bun the mandated JavaScript runtime in local guidance, but repository task aliases still allow npm fallbacks, leaving conflicting instructions and a bounded risk of inconsistent build or test invocation. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to align the aliases or document the exception.

Poem

A rabbit taps Bun through the shell,

With bun.lock tucked in its dell.
Frozen installs march in a row,
Local tools run without fetch flow.
Deno hops off; Bun rings the bell.

Pull Request Overview

While this PR correctly establishes Bun as the Tier 1 runtime and package manager, there is a major gap between the implementation and the PR description. The 'Also repaired' section of the PR description claims to restore ReScript mentions to fix 'blanking scars,' but these changes are absent from the provided code.

Furthermore, although Deno is being removed as a primary runtime, it should be explicitly added to the BANNED table in the AI instructions (CLAUDE.md) to prevent the AI from defaulting to it based on training data or previous context. Codacy analysis indicates the files are otherwise up to standards.

About this PR

  • The PR description claims to restore 'ReScript' mentions in policy tables and enforcement rules, but these changes are missing from the diff. If this restoration is intended for this PR, please include the missing line changes.

Test suggestions

  • Verify Bun is promoted to Tier 1 in the ALLOWED table
  • Verify package.json and bun.lock requirements are added to Enforcement Rules
  • Verify 'ReScript' text is restored in BANNED table and rule #1
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify 'ReScript' text is restored in BANNED table and rule #1

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).
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.

70-70: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Keep the production install rule unchanged.

Bun’s --production flag excludes devDependencies, but does not omit optionalDependencies. Bun uses --omit=optional for that behaviour. Neither tree contains a package manifest or production entry point.

mise.toml:51-56 still permits repository build and test tasks to execute npm as a fallback. Align the task aliases with Bun, or document the fallback as an explicit exception.
