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

repaired blanking scar: | **** |AffineScript

⚠ 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 use Bun as the JavaScript/TypeScript runtime and package manager.
    • Updated build, dependency installation, tooling, and JavaScript integration instructions to reflect Bun-based workflows.
    • Clarified supported output formats and required project manifests.

Walkthrough

The assistant instructions replace Deno with Bun for JavaScript and TypeScript execution, package management, dependency installation, one-off tooling, and AffineScript output guidance.

Changes

Bun runtime guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime and dependency rules
.claude/CLAUDE.md
The instructions use Bun for JavaScript and TypeScript execution. They map related tools to Bun, require package.json and bun.lock, use frozen production installs, and specify bunx --no-install --bun <tool> for tooling. AffineScript guidance now targets typed-wasm or ESM and references Bun APIs.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e11b8

The change updates local runtime and package-management policy, but the document still conflicts with existing tool-provisioning guidance and retains TypeScript references despite the stated removal goal. This is a bounded policy-consistency risk that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit updates the runtime guide
Bun keeps the scripts on its side
bun.lock records each planned run
Frozen installs guard what is done
Deno hops away beneath the moon

Pull Request Overview

Although the PR successfully promotes Bun to a Tier 1 runtime and removes Deno from the allowed tools, it fails to implement the 'ReScript restoration' repairs described in the PR summary. Specifically, the BANNED table and Rule 1 still incorrectly target TypeScript instead of ReScript. While Codacy results indicate the PR is technically 'up to standards', these missing policy corrections are major logic gaps relative to the stated intent. Additionally, the transition is incomplete without explicitly banning the decommissioned Deno runtime.

About this PR

  • The PR description and acceptance criteria mention restoring ReScript references and updating enforcement rules, but these changes are absent from the submitted files. Please ensure all 'blanking scar' repairs are included in the commit.

Test suggestions

  • Bun is correctly listed as the primary runtime and package manager for new work
  • Deno references are replaced with Bun in the allowed tools and API notes
  • JavaScript dependencies are managed via package.json and bun.lock as required
  • ReScript is restored to the BANNED table and the 'No new files' rule as specified in the description
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. ReScript is restored to the BANNED table and the 'No new files' rule as specified in the description

The table entry for AffineScript still identifies TypeScript as the banned item. Based on the PR description to fix 'blanking scars', this should be updated to ReScript.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: Add Deno to the BANNED table to explicitly prevent its use and point to Bun as the replacement.

Try running the following prompt in your coding agent:

In .claude/CLAUDE.md, add the row | Deno | Bun | to the BANNED table.

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.

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.

45-49: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Remove the remaining TypeScript references.

The new ReScript and Deno rows are correct, but .claude/CLAUDE.md still contains TypeScript in the BANNED table at Line 44 and in Enforcement Rule 1 at Line 68. This repeats the previous review finding and contradicts the PR objective. Remove those references.
