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: Only where cannot → Only where AffineScript cannot

⚠ 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. 2 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.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated development guidance to use Bun as the standard JavaScript and TypeScript runtime and package manager.
    • Clarified required project manifests and production installation commands.
    • Updated tooling guidance for one-off JavaScript commands and dependency management.

Walkthrough

The project guidance changes its JavaScript runtime and package-management policy from Deno to Bun. It updates runtime tables, banned-tool replacements, manifest requirements, production installation, dependency management, and one-off tooling guidance.

Changes

Bun policy migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bun runtime and replacement policy
.claude/CLAUDE.md, scripts/.claude/CLAUDE.md
Bun becomes the tier-1 JavaScript runtime. The guidance updates JavaScript API references and maps Node.js, npm, and pnpm/yarn to Bun.
Bun manifest and installation rules
.claude/CLAUDE.md, scripts/.claude/CLAUDE.md
The guidance requires package.json and bun.lock, uses bun install --production for production dependencies, and documents bunx for one-off tooling.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0e45a

The policy now presents Bun as the default while existing script instructions still use Deno for key development commands, which could lead contributors or agents to follow conflicting guidance. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to align those commands or document the exception.

Suggested reviewers: metadatastician

Poem

A rabbit checks the runtime nest,
Bun now keeps the scripts at rest.
bun.lock guards each package door,
bunx hops where tools were before.
Deno’s old sign fades from view.

Pull Request Overview

While the PR successfully establishes Bun as a Tier 1 runtime and removes Deno, it fails to correctly implement the 'ReScript to AffineScript' terminology restoration described in the PR intent. Specifically, the enforcement rules still incorrectly ban TypeScript instead of ReScript, and the naming remains inconsistent across the policy documents.

Codacy analysis indicates the changes are technically 'up to standards', but the logic gaps regarding the migration terminology present a high risk of confusing AI assistants relying on these instructions. This divergence from the acceptance criteria should be addressed before merging.

About this PR

  • The PR implementation only partially fulfills the stated intent to repair 'ReScript purge scars'. There is significant terminology drift where 'AffineScript' is introduced in some rules while 'ReScript' or 'TypeScript' remains in others (e.g., the primary language table and banned tools table). This inconsistency creates ambiguity for AI agents using this policy.

Test suggestions

  • Verify Bun is listed as Tier 1 JS/TS runtime in the ALLOWED table
  • Verify Deno is replaced by Bun in the BANNED table
  • Verify enforcement rules mandate package.json and bun.lock
  • Verify restoration of ReScript/AffineScript terminology in table rows and rules
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify restoration of ReScript/AffineScript terminology in table rows and rules

🔴 HIGH RISK

Divergence from requirement: This rule maintains a ban on 'TypeScript' despite the PR description stating it should be updated to ban 'ReScript' files. Standardize the language naming to 'AffineScript' to match the updates on lines 29 and 62 and resolve conflicts with lines 22, 40, and 66.

🔴 HIGH RISK

Divergence from requirement: The PR description specifies this rule should be updated to 'No new ReScript files — convert .res to AffineScript', but the code still incorrectly bans 'TypeScript'. Additionally, 'ReScript' is still used in lines 22, 40, and 66, while this line uses 'AffineScript'. Standardize the naming to ensure consistent instructions for AI assistants. Suggestion: Replace all occurrences of 'ReScript' with 'AffineScript' (or vice-versa as per the final policy) to maintain a unified terminology.

Align the ReScript commands with the Bun policy. scripts/Justfile still runs the build, watch, format, and check commands through Deno's npm:rescript entry point. Run these commands through Bun, or document an explicit exception for the existing Deno tooling.

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.

  • 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 dismissed coderabbitai[bot]’s stale review August 27, 2026 00:17

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.
