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: **No new files**No new ReScript files

⚠ 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 standardise on Bun for runtime execution and package management.
    • Clarified required project files, dependency installation, and one-off tooling commands.
    • Documented Node.js, npm, pnpm, and yarn as unsupported alternatives.

Walkthrough

The project guidance switches the JavaScript and TypeScript runtime from Deno to Bun. It updates allowed and banned tools, requires package.json and bun.lock, and defines Bun commands for production dependencies and one-off tooling.

Changes

Bun runtime policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime and package management guidance
.claude/CLAUDE.md
Bun is now the default runtime. The guidance requires package.json and bun.lock, uses frozen production installation, and defines bunx --no-install --bun for one-off tooling. Deno, Node.js, npm, pnpm, and yarn are listed as banned tools.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c4d92

The policy now bans npm, but existing task aliases still retain npm fallbacks that may run after a failed primary command. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to replace those fallbacks or document the exception.

Poem

A rabbit reads Bun in the guide,
With bun.lock safely tied.
Deno leaves the nest,
Frozen installs do the rest,
And bunx tools stay inside.

Pull Request Overview

This PR updates the project's runtime policy to establish Bun as Tier 1 and remove Deno. While the core runtime changes are present, there is an implementation gap regarding the restoration of 'ReScript' terminology in policy tables, which was noted as a requirement but is missing from the diff.

Furthermore, the description for Bun's capabilities contradicts existing project rules (Rule 1) prohibiting new TypeScript files; this needs clarification to avoid misleading AI agents. While the PR is technically 'up to standards' per Codacy, the main policy file is becoming monolithic and should be refactored for better maintenance.

About this PR

  • The PR description mentions restoring 'ReScript' in policy tables and enforcement rules (specifically lines 51 and 75), but these lines appear as unchanged context in the diff. Please verify if these changes were omitted or if the base branch already contains them.

Test suggestions

  • Verify Bun is listed as Tier 1 in the ALLOWED table
  • Verify Deno is replaced by Bun in the BANNED/Replacement table
  • Verify Rule 3 and 4 mandate package.json and bun.lock
  • Verify restoration of 'ReScript' text in blanking scars (lines 51, 75)
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify restoration of 'ReScript' text in blanking scars (lines 51, 75)

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

The description for Bun contradicts Rule 1. Since new TypeScript is banned, highlighting native .ts execution as the default workflow is misleading for the AI. Clarify that Bun is the runtime target for compiled AffineScript/JS output.

Suggested change
| **Bun** | JS/TS runtime & package management (tier 1) | Default for all new work. Executes `.ts` directly, no build step. Uses an npm-compatible `package.json` plus `bun.lock` — both are expected, not anti-patterns. |
**Bun** | JS/TS runtime & package management (tier 1) | Target runtime for AffineScript/JS output. Uses an npm-compatible package.json plus bun.lock — both are expected, not anti-patterns. |

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 01:15

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.

Mirrors the TypeScript row's own replacement cell rather than assuming the
literal string, so bold, qualified and extra-column table variants are all
handled without reformatting the surrounding table.

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

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Align the task aliases with the Bun policy.

In mise.toml, Lines [51-57] still define npm run build and npm test fallbacks. These commands can execute when the preceding command fails, which conflicts with the new rule that bans npm. Replace the fallbacks with the repository’s Bun commands, or document an explicit exception.
