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: | | AffineScript || ReScript | AffineScript |
repaired blanking scar: **No new files**No new ReScript files
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. 7 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 project guidance to standardise Bun as the JavaScript runtime and package manager.
    • Added requirements for package.json and bun.lock dependency management.
    • Updated production installation and tooling guidance for Bun.
    • Clarified AffineScript usage and prohibited ReScript files.

Walkthrough

Seven project guidance files switch JavaScript runtime and package-management guidance from Deno to Bun. They update tool restrictions, AffineScript rules, Bun manifests, production installation, and bunx tooling guidance.

The allowed and banned tool tables now define Bun as the JavaScript runtime and identify ReScript and AffineScript.
Enforcement rules

The rules now require package.json, bun.lock, and bun install --production. They prohibit new ReScript files and require AffineScript conversion.
Dependency management guidance
.claude/CLAUDE.md files across the seven projects
JavaScript dependencies now use Bun manifests. Tooling runs through bunx --no-install --bun.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff1db

The policy update may steer assistants toward Bun for non-JavaScript work and override language-specific tooling choices. This is a bounded documentation risk, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up to limit the default to JavaScript work.

Pull Request Overview

This PR updates multiple local CLAUDE.md files to establish Bun as the Tier 1 JS/TS runtime and package manager, while removing Deno and restoring ReScript to the banned list. The changes are consistent with project standards according to Codacy analysis.

While the intent is well-implemented, there are gaps in the documentation that could lead to ambiguity for AI assistants. Specifically, the 'default' designation for Bun should be scoped strictly to JS/TS to avoid conflicting with domain-specific languages like Rust or Julia. Additionally, while Deno is removed from the allowed list, it is not yet explicitly listed in the 'BANNED' table, which is a necessary step to prevent agents from leveraging their training data to suggest Deno-specific solutions. No critical security or logic bugs were identified.

About this PR

  • Ensure the restoration of ReScript and the Tier 1 Bun policy are applied identically across all seven CLAUDE.md files included in this PR to maintain repository-wide consistency.

Test suggestions

  • Verify 'Bun' is listed in the ALLOWED table as the Tier 1 runtime
  • Verify removal of 'Deno' from the ALLOWED table and its use as a replacement
  • Verify 'Node.js', 'npm', and 'yarn' entries in the BANNED table point to Bun
  • Verify enforcement rule requiring both 'package.json' and 'bun.lock'
  • Verify 'ReScript' is restored in Rule 1 and the BANNED table
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify 'Bun' is listed in the ALLOWED table as the Tier 1 runtime
2. Verify removal of 'Deno' from the ALLOWED table and its use as a replacement
3. Verify 'Node.js', 'npm', and 'yarn' entries in the BANNED table point to Bun
4. Verify enforcement rule requiring both 'package.json' and 'bun.lock'
5. Verify 'ReScript' is restored in Rule 1 and the BANNED table

⚪ LOW RISK

Suggestion: Since Deno is being removed from the tier 1 stack, consider adding it to the 'BANNED - Do Not Use' table with Bun as the replacement. This ensures that AI assistants do not inadvertently suggest Deno-specific APIs or project structures as a fallback.

Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent:

In all modified CLAUDE.md files, add '| Deno | Bun |' to the 'BANNED - Do Not Use' table to explicitly prevent AI assistants from using the deprecated runtime.

⚪ LOW RISK

Suggestion: The phrase 'Default for all new work' is ambiguous. Since the repository allows multiple languages for specific domains (Rust, Julia, Gleam), it is more precise to specify Bun as the default for JS/TS development.

Suggested change

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).

No change is required. Bun’s --production flag already implies --frozen-lockfile, so the prescribed command enforces the existing bun.lock and fails when it diverges from package.json in all four files.

In Bun, --production already implies --frozen-lockfile. The three commands already reject inconsistent package.json and bun.lock files; adding the flag is redundant.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Limit the Bun default to JavaScript work. Default for all new work can override the separate AffineScript, Rust, and Guile choices. Use Default JavaScript runtime and package manager for new JavaScript work. Apply the same wording at the corresponding Bun rows in journal-theme/.claude/CLAUDE.md, praxis/.claude/CLAUDE.md, and sinople-theme/.claude/CLAUDE.md.
