policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed — correct local CLAUDE.md - #72
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NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per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.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The policy update changes runtime, production-install, and one-off tooling guidance. As written, it could be misread as permitting new TypeScript, leave development dependencies in production artifacts, or allow unpinned tools, creating bounded consistency and reproducibility risk; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Pull Request Overview
The PR successfully updates the runtime policy to promote Bun to Tier 1 and mandates the use of package manifests. Codacy results are up to standards with no quality issues detected in the documentation.
There is a critical discrepancy between the PR description and the implementation: the description claims to repair 'ReScript' related rules and corruption (specifically Rule 1), but the code diff shows no such changes were made. Additionally, while Deno is removed from allowed sections, it is not yet explicitly added to the BANNED table. This omission should be addressed to ensure AI agents do not revert to Deno-centric patterns when interpreting the policy.
About this PR
- The PR description references several fixes for 'ReScript' related 'scars' and an update to Rule 1 that are not present in the current diff. Please verify if these changes were intended to be part of this PR or if the description needs updating to reflect the actual scope.

The implementation does not reflect the description's claim of updating Rule 1 to mention ReScript. It currently still refers to TypeScript.

Suggestion: To ensure AI agents strictly follow the new runtime policy, Deno should be added to the BANNED table with Bun as the recommended replacement.

permitted JavaScript tooling and running existing TypeScript, without
authorizing creation of new TypeScript or changing the default authoring
language. Preserve AffineScript as the default for new work and keep the
existing TypeScript restrictions consistent with the rules referenced elsewhere

usage: require one-off tools to be added to package.json at an exact version,
use that pinned version when invoking bunx, and commit the corresponding
bun.lock changes.

Bun documentation bun install --production existing node_modules devDependencies bun prune --production
💡 Result:
To manage production dependencies in Bun, it is important to understand the distinct roles of bun install --production and bun prune --production. 1. bun install --production: This command installs only production dependencies from your package.json, excluding devDependencies [1][2]. Importantly, if devDependencies are already present in your node_modules directory (from a previous installation), this command will not remove them [1][3]. It simply ensures that no new devDependencies are added to the directory [1]. 2. bun prune --production: This command is specifically designed to clean up your node_modules directory [4]. It removes any packages that would not be installed in a production environment, such as devDependencies [4]. This combination is commonly used in workflows like Docker builds, where you may need devDependencies to perform a build step but want to exclude them from the final production image [4]. A standard pattern is as follows: 1. Install all dependencies (including devDependencies) to perform the build: bun install [4]. 2. Run your build process: bun run build [4]. 3. Remove the unnecessary devDependencies: bun prune --production [4]. In summary, use bun install --production when you want to start a fresh, production-only dependency install [3]. Use bun prune --production if you have already installed all dependencies and need to remove the devDependencies from an existing node_modules folder [1][4].

Clarify the production install contract.
If this rule must produce production-only artefacts, require a clean install or bun prune --production; bun install --production does not remove existing devDependencies from node_modules.

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).

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.
