policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed — correct local CLAUDE.md - #42
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NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per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.

Clarify the runtime scope.
If .claude/CLAUDE.md defines the repository runtime, update all Deno instructions in README.adoc, including the checks at Lines 153–154. Otherwise, state that the Bun policy applies only to new agent-directed work. The README currently requires Deno and invokes deno run, while .claude/CLAUDE.md makes Bun the default for new work.

Make the TypeScript migration target consistent.
The BANNED table maps TypeScript to ReScript at Line [41], but this rule directs existing TypeScript to AffineScript. These rules give different outputs for the same source files. Use one target, or state explicitly that new TypeScript uses ReScript while existing TypeScript migrates to AffineScript.

Commit bun.lock with the required manifest.
The repository currently has package.json but no bun.lock. Lines [64-65] and [74] require the lockfile and state that production dependencies are pinned by it. Add and commit the generated bun.lock, or make this requirement conditional until the Bun migration is complete.

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).

Pull Request Overview
The PR successfully updates the policy to favor Bun as the Tier 1 runtime and enforces more secure usage of bunx and manifest files. Codacy analysis indicates the changes are technically up to standards.
However, there is a critical naming inconsistency regarding the primary language: the PR introduces 'AffineScript' in some sections while leaving 'ReScript' in the core definition tables (lines 22 and 41). This contradiction in a policy file is a major blocker as it creates ambiguity for any AI agent following these instructions. Additionally, the change fails to move Bun to the absolute top of the ALLOWED table as requested by project-wide rulings.
About this PR
- The project is currently transitioning from 'ReScript' to 'AffineScript', but this PR only applies the update to certain lines (29, 64). To maintain a valid policy for AI agents, the naming must be unified across the entire document, specifically in the primary definition and banned tables.
Test suggestions
- Verify Bun is listed as Tier 1 and Deno is removed from the ALLOWED table.
- Verify Deno, Node.js, and npm-related tools are correctly moved to the BANNED table.
- Verify the enforcement rules explicitly require package.json and bun.lock.
- Verify the JS deps section specifies the secure bunx flags (--no-install --bun).
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify Bun is listed as Tier 1 and Deno is removed from the ALLOWED table.
2. Verify Deno, Node.js, and npm-related tools are correctly moved to the BANNED table.
3. Verify the enforcement rules explicitly require package.json and bun.lock.
4. Verify the JS deps section specifies the secure bunx flags (--no-install --bun).
Low confidence findings
- The PR description mentions fixing a 'blanking scar' in the JavaScript row, but the diff indicates that existing text ('ReScript') was replaced. Ensure the PR description accurately reflects the changes for historical clarity.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The terminology for the primary language is inconsistent. This line and line 64 introduce 'AffineScript', while the primary definition (line 22) and the banned list (line 41) still refer to 'ReScript'. Unified naming is required to ensure the AI agent uses the correct language context.
Try running the following prompt in your coding agent:
Update all remaining references of 'ReScript' to 'AffineScript' in .claude/CLAUDE.md to ensure the language policy is consistent throughout.

| | **ReScript** | Primary application code | Compiles to JS, type-safe | | ||

⚪ LOW RISK
Suggestion: To fully comply with the owner ruling ('put it first everywhere'), the Bun row should be moved above the ReScript row in the ALLOWED table.

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>
