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.

Walkthrough

The project guidance now uses Bun instead of Deno for JavaScript runtime, package management, dependency installation, and one-off tooling. AffineScript targets typed-WASM or ESM.

Changes

Bun tooling policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime and tool replacements
.claude/CLAUDE.md
The guidance names Bun as the JavaScript runtime and package manager. AffineScript targets typed-WASM or ESM. Node.js, npm, pnpm, and yarn replacements now use Bun.
Dependency and production installation rules
.claude/CLAUDE.md
The guidance requires package.json and bun.lock. Production dependencies use bun install --production. One-off tools use bunx.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fbb4c

This change directs contributors and agents to use Bun, while the repository’s enforced policy still requires Deno-only dependencies and prohibits Bun-based dependencies, so resulting changes may fail validation. Merge should wait until the policies are aligned or the conflict is explicitly accepted.

Pull Request Overview

The PR successfully updates the runtime policy to designate Bun as a Tier 1 tool and removes Deno from the allowed list. However, it fails to implement the restoration of the 'ReScript' name in the Banned table and Enforcement Rules, which was a primary goal stated in the description.

Additionally, the documentation for Bun's tier-1 status needs clarification. Describing Bun as having 'no build step' and executing '.ts directly' contradicts Enforcement Rule 1 ('No new TypeScript files'), which is intended to enforce AffineScript/ESM patterns. Clarifying that Bun is used for package management and executing compiled ESM output is necessary to prevent confusion for AI agents using this policy. Codacy analysis currently rates the changes as up to standards, but these functional gaps should be addressed.

About this PR

  • The PR description explicitly mentions repairing 'blanking scars' from the ReScript purge, but no such changes appear in the diff. The names 'ReScript' are still replaced by 'TypeScript' in the Banned table and the Enforcement Rules.

Test suggestions

  • Found recommended test scenario: Verify Bun is listed in the ALLOWED table with tier 1 status
  • Found recommended test scenario: Verify Deno is removed from the ALLOWED table
  • Found recommended test scenario: Verify JS package management policy requires package.json and bun.lock
  • Missing recommended test scenario: Verify 'ReScript' text is restored in the Banned table and rule 1
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Missing recommended test scenario: Verify 'ReScript' text is restored in the Banned table and rule 1

bun install --production automatically enables frozen-lockfile behaviour. The frozenLockfile default does not change this command’s behaviour, so adding --frozen-lockfile is not required.

Align the Bun guidance with the enforced language policy.

.machine_readable/MUST.contractile states that K9 validators enforce Deno-only dependencies and prohibit npm, Bun, yarn, and pnpm dependencies. .claude/CLAUDE.md instead requires Bun and package.json plus bun.lock for JavaScript dependencies. These instructions can produce changes that fail repository validation.

Update the authoritative contract and its consumers, or change .claude/CLAUDE.md to follow the Deno-only policy.

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.

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.

…Bun ruling (#78)

Owner ruling 2026-08-27: **migrate the validators first.**

## The collision

`.machine_readable/MUST.contractile` asserted:

```scheme
(must "no npm/bun/yarn/pnpm dependencies — Deno only")
```

That names **Bun itself** as a prohibited dependency source. The
estate-wide Bun ruling of 2026-08-26 requires `package.json` +
`bun.lock`, so an agent obeying `.claude/CLAUDE.md` in this repo
produced a change its own K9 validators reject.

CodeRabbit put it exactly: *"These instructions can produce changes that
fail repository validation."*

This is why the repo was **held out of the fleet rollout** — the
instruction and the enforcement disagreed, and an agent had no way to
know which won.

## The change

```diff
- (must "no npm/bun/yarn/pnpm dependencies — Deno only")
+ (must "JS deps via Bun — package.json + bun.lock; no npm/yarn/pnpm lockfiles")
```

The prohibition is **preserved where it still applies** — competing npm,
yarn and pnpm lockfiles remain banned — and lifted only for Bun, which
canon now mandates. A narrowing of the rule to match ratified policy,
not its removal.

## Sequencing

With this landed, the Bun policy change for this repo (#77) can follow
without ever producing a self-contradictory state. That ordering is the
point of the ruling: enforcement moves first, then the instruction that
depends on it.
