policy: Bun is tier 1, Deno is being removed — correct local CLAUDE.md - #726
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe repository guidance replaces Deno with Bun for JavaScript runtime and package management. It updates required dependency files, installation commands, banned-tool replacements, and one-off tool usage. ChangesBun policy update
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes Bun the tier-1 runtime, but the file still contains an unlabeled rule row and separate text that bans Bun, creating contradictory guidance for agents. The change is otherwise localized policy text and is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to remove these inconsistencies. Suggested reviewers: Poem

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 NOT FOLDED IN: "Fallback: Nix (flake.nix)" is stale (Guix superseded Nix per ADR-2026-STACK-MIGRATION) but that is a separate ruling; flagged, not changed.

exemption table and the rules near the “no Node.js / no Bun” wording and banned
Bun APIs so they consistently reflect Bun as the approved tier-1 runtime,
removing contradictory prohibitions while preserving restrictions on unsupported

at lines 105-106 to use bun install --frozen-lockfile --production and preserve
exact lockfile-based pinning. Also update the bunx guidance at line 166 to

unversioned bunx invocations.

Pull Request Overview
The PR successfully establishes Bun as the Tier 1 JS/TS runtime and mandates the use of Bun-specific lockfiles and installation commands. However, the PR is not yet complete according to its stated intent.
Two primary issues remain: First, while Deno has been removed from the allowed tools, it has not been added to the BANNED table and remains listed as a supported runtime in the 'Runtime Exemptions' section, creating a policy contradiction. Second, several acceptance criteria related to restoring 'ReScript' terminology and repairing corrupted text mentioned in the PR description are entirely missing from the diff (specifically lines 77 and 104). These gaps should be addressed to ensure policy consistency for AI assistants.
About this PR
- The PR description mentions repairing a specific corrupted line ('Only where AffineScript cannot'), but this change is missing from the diff. Ensure all manual text repairs intended for this policy update are included in the final commit.
Test suggestions
- Verify Bun is listed as the Tier 1 runtime in the ALLOWED tools table
- Verify Deno is removed as the primary replacement for Node.js/npm in the BANNED table
- Verify Enforcement Rule 3 requires package.json and bun.lock
- Verify Enforcement Rule 4 specifies 'bun install --production'
- Verify 'ReScript' name is restored in the BANNED table (line 77)
- Verify 'ReScript' name is restored in Enforcement Rule 2 (line 104)
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify 'ReScript' name is restored in the BANNED table (line 77)
2. Verify 'ReScript' name is restored in Enforcement Rule 2 (line 104)

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The policy change removes Deno as a Tier 1 tool, but it is missing from the BANNED table. To align with the goal of removing Deno and ensuring AI assistants avoid its use, it should be explicitly listed as banned for new code (e.g., mapping to Bun). Additionally, the runtime compatibility list at line 139 (marked 'Deno ✅') needs reconciliation with this removal.

Pull Request Overview
The PR successfully establishes Bun as the Tier 1 runtime in the repository's AI policy file. While the analysis shows the changes are up to standards, the implementation of the 'Deno removal' is incomplete within the instructional tables, which may lead to inconsistent AI behavior.
There are two primary concerns that should be addressed before merging: an incomplete BANNED tools table that fails to explicitly prohibit Deno, and a broken reference in the policy rules that points to the wrong data table for exemptions. Additionally, several areas identified as 'repaired' in the PR description appear to remain blank in the final diff, suggesting a partial implementation of the intended document restoration.
About this PR
- The PR description claims to have repaired several 'blanking scars' (e.g., lines 45, 69, 77, and 78), but these areas remain blank or poorly formatted in the current diff. Ensure that all intended terminology and formatting restorations are included in the final commit.
Test suggestions
- Verify that AI agents identify Bun as the primary runtime and reject Deno for new work.
- Verify that AI agents require 'package.json' and 'bun.lock' when adding new JS dependencies.
- Verify that AI agents use 'bun install --production' for production build context.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
The reference in Rule 1 (line 103) is incorrect. The mentioned exemptions (.d.ts and Deno-test) are in the Approved table at line 116, not the Closed table. Correcting this reference is critical for the AI agent to properly distinguish between active exemptions and resolved legacy items.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
Suggestion: To complete the removal of Deno as a primary tool and provide clear guidance for the AI agent, add Deno to the BANNED table with Bun as the recommended replacement, mirroring the existing entries for Node.js and npm.
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.
Mirrors the TypeScript row's own replacement cell rather than assuming the literal string, so bold, qualified and extra-column table variants are all handled without reformatting the surrounding table. Enforcement Rule 1 is untouched: standards#655 records that collision as not resolvable unilaterally. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
