policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed — correct local CLAUDE.md - #367
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. 2 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NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per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 documentation replaces Deno runtime and dependency guidance with Bun guidance. It updates runtime tables, banned-tool mappings, manifest and lockfile requirements, production installation commands, and one-off tooling instructions. ChangesBun tooling policy
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR replaces Deno and Node-oriented guidance with Bun commands and requirements, but current documentation and repository enforcement are not fully aligned: the playground lacks frozen-lockfile enforcement, the existing hook may reject Bun installs, and local policy still has ReScript and Deno inconsistencies. These concrete issues should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge. Poem

Pull Request Overview
This update successfully establishes Bun as the Tier 1 runtime and mandates the use of Bun-specific manifests, fulfilling the primary intent of the policy change. Codacy analysis indicates the changes are up to standards. However, a documentation inconsistency exists where Deno is still referenced as the server for AffineScript-TEA components, contradicting the runtime shift. Additionally, several enforcement rules regarding file conversions and package definitions lack flexible escalation paths for technical blockers, which may cause friction in automated workflows.
About this PR
- While the policy updates are clear, several enforcement rules (specifically regarding .scm conversion and Guix definitions) are phrased as absolute prohibitions. Consider adding language for architectural review exceptions to prevent operational deadlocks during edge cases.

line 83⚪ LOW RISK
This rule mandates a conversion process without providing an escape hatch for edge cases where automated or manual conversion might be blocked or inappropriate. Try running the following prompt in your IDE agent: > Update the rule for .scm file conversion on line 83 of .claude/CLAUDE.md to include an escape hatch, such as: '...you MUST (unless technical blockers prevent conversion, in which case open an architectural review issue):'
line 90⚪ LOW RISK
The requirement that Guix definitions 'must NOT be deleted' lacks an escalation path or exception criteria for future decommissioning or authorized migration efforts.package definitions (not metadata files) and must NOT be deleted without explicit architectural review.
Test suggestions
- Verify that Bun replaces Deno in the 'Allowed Languages' tables in both policy files.
- Confirm that Node.js, npm, and Deno are listed as 'Banned' with Bun as the replacement.
- Verify that Enforcement Rule #2 explicitly requires 'package.json' and 'bun.lock'.
- Verify that the ReScript purge 'blanking scars' are corrected in the Banned table and Rule #1.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: The Use Case column still mentions 'served via Deno', which is inconsistent with the removal of Deno in favor of Bun throughout the rest of the 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.
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>

Add ReScript to the playground ban table.
The root policy bans both TypeScript and ReScript, but this table only lists TypeScript. A contributor following the playground-local policy can therefore add ReScript despite the repository-wide ban. Add | ReScript | AffineScript |.
