policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed — correct local CLAUDE.md - #63
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. 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NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per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.
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughSeven 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 ChangesBun policy migration
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 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. Poem

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.
| | **Bun** | JS/TS runtime & package management (tier 1) | Default for all new work. Executes `.ts` directly, no build step. Uses an npm-compatible `package.json` plus `bun.lock` — both are expected, not anti-patterns. | | |

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).

🎯 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.
