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NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per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.
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe language policy replaces Deno with Bun for JavaScript and TypeScript runtimes, package management, enforcement rules, and banned-tool replacements. ChangesBun language policy
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This policy update makes Bun the preferred package manager in local guidance, but another required startup document is described as retaining a conflicting Deno preference. Agents could therefore receive contradictory instructions, so the documents should be synchronized or given explicit precedence before merge. Poem

💡 Result:
In Bun, the lockfile has evolved from a binary format to a text-based format [1][2]. bun.lock Beginning with Bun v1.2, bun.lock is the default, human-readable, and JSONC-formatted lockfile [1][3][4]. It provides native git-diff support without requiring additional configuration [3][4]. bun.lockb This is the legacy binary lockfile format used in versions prior to Bun v1.2 [1][2]. While older projects may still contain this file, it is recommended to migrate to the new text-based format [1][2]. Migration To migrate an existing bun.lockb to the new bun.lock format, run the following command in your project root and then delete the old binary file [1][2]: bun install --save-text-lockfile --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only You can also control this behavior via your bunfig.toml file using the install.saveTextLockfile setting, which defaults to true in Bun v1.2 and later [5].

Pull Request Overview
While this PR successfully promotes Bun to a Tier 1 tool, it fails to deliver on the promised restoration of ReScript terminology. The PR description explicitly mentions repairing 'blanking scars' and restoring 'ReScript' to the Banned table and Enforcement Rule 1, yet the code retains 'TypeScript' in those locations. This creates a disconnect between the stated intent and the actual changes.
Furthermore, there is a technical contradiction in the documentation for Bun. The notes suggest Bun executes .ts directly without a build step, which contradicts Rule 1 and the Banned list that prohibit TypeScript in favor of AffineScript. To avoid AI confusion, the documentation should clarify that Bun executes the compiled ESM output. Deno removal is partially handled, but explicitly banning it would improve clarity.
About this PR
- The PR description states that this change repairs 'blanking scars' from the ReScript purge by restoring missing terminology in the Banned table and Enforcement Rule 1. However, the implementation still refers to 'TypeScript' in those sections. Please ensure the terminology is updated as intended.
Test suggestions
- Verify Bun is listed as Tier 1 in the Allowed Languages & Tools table.
- Verify Deno is removed from Allowed list and Bun replaces Deno for Node/npm/pnpm/yarn in Banned list.
- Verify Enforcement Rule 2 and 3 mandate package.json and bun.lock usage.
- Verify ReScript terminology is restored in Banned rows and Enforcement Rule 1.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The mention of direct .ts execution and the lack of a build step contradicts Rule 1 (Line 66) and the Banned list (Line 44). This may cause the AI to generate prohibited TypeScript files instead of using the AffineScript compiler. Update the notes to focus on Bun's role in executing the compiled ESM output.

⚪ LOW RISK
Suggestion: Deno should be explicitly added to the 'BANNED' list to provide clear instructions to the AI that it has been replaced by Bun, consistent with the removal of other JS tools like Node.js and npm.

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.
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>

Synchronise the package-manager policy.
0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml is the universal entry point and requires agents to read it at session start. Its Deno preference conflicts with .claude/CLAUDE.md, which makes Bun tier 1 and replaces Deno with Bun. Update the manifest or define explicit precedence for consumers that read both files.
