policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed — correct local CLAUDE.md - #109
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NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per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 project guidance replaces Deno with Bun for JavaScript and TypeScript runtime use, package management, production installation, dependency locking, and one-off tooling. ChangesBun runtime policy
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes Bun the tier-1 runtime and removes Deno guidance from the local policy, but contradictory repository guidance remains, so users or agents may continue following Deno instructions; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Synchronise the repository-wide runtime policy.
README.adoc:129-153 still declares Deno as the runtime and says that the project does not use Node.js, npm, or Bun. This conflicts with the Bun guidance at Line 27, Lines 45-47, Lines 67-68, and Line 77. Update README.adoc in this change so users receive one consistent runtime and dependency policy.

Pull Request Overview
The pull request successfully updates the local CLAUDE.md to designate Bun as the Tier 1 JS/TS runtime and package manager, effectively replacing Deno. The implementation mandates the use of package.json and bun.lock files and establishes 'bun install --production' for dependency management. Codacy quality analysis indicates that the changes are up to standards.
However, there is a major misalignment between the PR description and the actual diff. The description explicitly mentions repairing 'blanking scars' from the ReScript purge and restoring specific policy rules, but these changes are entirely absent from the code. Additionally, while Deno is being removed from the allowed tables, it should be explicitly moved to the BANNED table to prevent the AI from falling back to it.
About this PR
- Major misalignment: The PR description details 'repairing blanking scars from the ReScript purge' (restoring ReScript rows and updating Rule 1 to 'No new ReScript files'), but the diff does not contain these changes. Lines 44 and 66 remain unchanged from their previous state. Please verify if these changes were intended to be included in this commit.
Test suggestions
- Verify that Bun is correctly identified as the Tier 1 runtime and default for new JS/TS work.
- Confirm the enforcement of package.json and bun.lock manifest requirements.
- Validate the removal of Deno and its replacement by Bun in the Banned tools table.
- Verify the restoration of ReScript policy terminology in rules and tables as described in the PR summary.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that Bun is correctly identified as the Tier 1 runtime and default for new JS/TS work.
2. Confirm the enforcement of package.json and bun.lock manifest requirements.
3. Validate the removal of Deno and its replacement by Bun in the Banned tools table.
4. Verify the restoration of ReScript policy terminology in rules and tables as described in the PR summary.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: The project is pivoting from Deno to Bun. To ensure the AI agent does not fallback to Deno or assume it is an acceptable alternative, it should be explicitly added 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).

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>
