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
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.

Pull Request Overview

The PR successfully implements the transition to Bun as the Tier 1 JavaScript runtime and updates package management requirements to include mandatory 'package.json' and 'bun.lock' files. Codacy analysis indicates the changes are up to standards.

However, there are two primary concerns: a missing implementation requirement and a policy contradiction. The 'ReScript' restoration mentioned in the intent and PR description is entirely absent from the diff. Furthermore, the documentation claims a buildless workflow for '.ts' files, which contradicts the repository's strict ban on TypeScript (Rule 1). These issues should be resolved to ensure the AI instructions are accurate and consistent with the project's architecture.

About this PR

  • The PR description explicitly mentions repairing 'blanking scars' by restoring the 'ReScript' token in the Banned table and Enforcement Rules (Rule 1). However, these changes are not present in the current file diff. Please ensure these additions are included as intended.

Test suggestions

  • Verify Bun is established as Tier 1 and the default for new work in the ALLOWED table
  • Verify Deno is replaced by Bun in the BANNED table and Package Management sections
  • Verify Rule 2 is updated to require 'package.json' and 'bun.lock'
  • Verify Rule 3 is updated to specify 'bun install --production'
  • Verify the restoration of the 'ReScript' name in the Banned table and Rule 1
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify the restoration of the 'ReScript' name in the Banned table and Rule 1

🟡 MEDIUM RISK

Suggestion: The note about Bun executing '.ts' directly and having 'no build step' contradicts the project's ban on TypeScript and the required AffineScript-to-ESM compilation workflow. Try running the following prompt in your coding agent: > In .claude/CLAUDE.md, update the Bun entry to focus on ESM execution performance and remove references to .ts and the buildless workflow to avoid confusion with the TypeScript ban.

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).
