Closes #734.

What changed

  • adds --bun-esm and implicit .bun.js routing alongside the compatibility profile
  • splits direct ESM generation into Bun-specific, compatibility, and shared runtime preludes
  • supplies Bun/Node-compatible filesystem, process, environment, subprocess, stdin/stdout/stderr, exit, URL, error, and WebAssembly lowerings
  • keeps filesystem/process resolution lazy so pure webview bindings such as Gossamer remain importable without a process global
  • adds the checked stdlib/Bun.affine capability namespace; unknown bun_ operations fail compilation
  • removes the active Deno entry and invalid pseudo-tools from mise.toml, replacing the deprecated task aliases with real mise tasks
  • restores SQLite schema/bulk/error lowerings that had drifted out of compiler source while surviving in committed generated fixtures
  • restores the deleted synthetic res-to-affine scanner fixture that made the root test suite fail before execution
  • documents the runtime-neutral core, migration contract, and compatibility boundary

Verification

  • dune build bin/main.exe
  • dune runtest (537 core tests plus res-to-affine suites pass)
  • ./tools/run_codegen_bun_tests.sh
    • public exports imported and exercised under Bun
    • filesystem/bytes/arguments/environment/subprocess/stdin/stdout/exit paths
    • syntax check and case-insensitive legacy-runtime absence check
    • byte-for-byte reproducibility check
    • planted unsupported-host operation fails non-zero
  • ./tools/run_codegen_deno_tests.sh (all compatibility fixtures/harnesses pass)
  • actual Gossamer Gossamer.affine compiled with --bun-esm, parsed by Bun, contains no legacy-runtime reference, and imports with process absent
  • shellcheck tools/run_codegen_bun_tests.sh
  • actionlint .github/workflows/ci.yml
  • git diff --check

The remaining estate-wide removal of compatibility files and historical/current references is intentionally handled per consumer after this source capability lands; this PR removes the compiler/toolchain blocker without relabelling old generated output.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Bun ES module output via the --bun-esm option.
    • Added Bun host capabilities for files, environment variables, processes, standard input/output, and exit status.
    • Added migration guidance and capability documentation.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Unsupported Bun host operations are now rejected instead of generating invalid runtime calls.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive Bun runtime acceptance tests, reproducibility checks, and CI coverage.

Walkthrough

The compiler now supports a native Bun ESM profile through --bun-esm and .bun.js output. It adds Bun host bindings, compile-time rejection for unsupported capabilities, executable acceptance probes, reproducibility checks, CI integration, and migration documentation.

Changes

Bun ESM backend

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bun code generation and CLI integration
bin/main.ml, lib/codegen_deno.ml, tests/codegen-deno/*
The compiler selects Bun output, emits Bun-specific runtime preludes and builtins, adds database shims, rejects unsupported bun_ capabilities, and generalises direct ESM comments.
Bun host contract and acceptance probes
stdlib/Bun.affine, tests/codegen-bun/*, tools/run_codegen_bun_tests.sh, tools/res-to-affine/test/fixtures/sample.res
The Bun module declares host externs. Fixtures and harnesses test filesystem, process, stream, environment, subprocess, exit, unsupported bindings, syntax, and reproducibility.
CI and local Bun test tasks
.github/workflows/ci.yml, .gitignore, mise.toml
CI and local tasks install Bun, run the native Bun ESM checks, and ignore generated acceptance outputs.
Bun ESM documentation
docs/CAPABILITY-MATRIX.adoc, docs/guides/bun-esm-migration.adoc
Documentation describes Bun ESM selection, host operations, runtime separation, and verification.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ce21d

The new Bun ESM backend can fail with an uncaught exception when conflicting backend flags are supplied, rather than producing a usable compiler diagnostic. The Bun capability entry also lacks a matching enforcement anchor, so merge should wait for these bounded readiness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

No resolver change is required for current Bun versions.

Current Bun implements process.getBuiltinModule, and CI does not select an older Bun version. The claim that subject.make_directory(...) must throw because Bun does not implement this API is false.

Pull Request Overview

The PR successfully implements the native Bun ESM host profile, adhering to the majority of acceptance criteria including lazy host module resolution and checked capability namespaces. While Codacy indicates the code is up to standards, there are several opportunities to improve cross-platform robustness and code reuse.

A notable gap exists in the test coverage: the requirement for mutual exclusivity between the --deno-esm and --bun-esm CLI flags is currently untested. Additionally, while the Bun profile leverages Node-compatible APIs, the manual path concatenation logic introduced in the preludes is brittle on Windows systems compared to using the available node:path module.

Test suggestions

  • Missing: Verify that using both --deno-esm and --bun-esm triggers a mutual exclusivity failure.
  • Found: Verify that an unknown 'bun_' prefixed extern fails compilation with E0825/Error.
  • Found: Verify that filesystem operations (write, read, stat, remove) work correctly under Bun using the native profile.
  • Found: Verify that environment variables and command-line arguments are correctly lowered to Bun's process/argv.
  • Found: Verify that standard I/O (stdin, stdout, stderr) and process exit status function as expected in a Bun harness.
  • Found: Verify that the generated code contains no case-insensitive references to 'deno' (legacy runtime leakage).
  • Found: Verify that SQLite schema introspection and CSV bulk I/O shims are correctly emitted in the ESM prelude.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
