Problem

  • The agent rule that bun init writes (CLAUDE.md and/or .cursor/rules/use-bun-instead-of-node-vite-npm-pnpm.mdc, template at src/runtime/cli/init/rule.md:111) ends with: read the Bun API docs in node_modules/bun-types/docs/**.mdx.
  • bun-types is a transitive dependency (bun init installs @types/bun, which depends on it). With the isolated linker (--linker=isolated, install.linker in bunfig.toml, or the default for a new workspace) it is not linked at the top level: node_modules/bun-types does not exist and the package is at node_modules/.bun/bun-types@<version>/node_modules/bun-types. init_command.rs writes the rule before the install runs and regardless of linker, so the pointer is dead in those projects.
  • docs/**.mdx also only names the 6 top-level pages (**.mdx is *.mdx to glob engines, Bun.Glob included); the package ships 331 pages, most of them in subdirectories.
  • Incorrect link to API docs in bun init CLAUDE.md #27950 and Incorrect link to API docs in bun init CLAUDE.md #27964 reported the pointer as wrong. fix(init): correct API docs URL in generated CLAUDE.md #27969 and fix(init): correct docs link in generated CLAUDE.md #28302 replaced it with a URL and were closed: the package really does ship the docs, so the local pointer is the right thing to keep. This keeps it and makes it hold in both layouts.

Fix

  • src/runtime/cli/init/rule.md: the footer names the hoisted path and, in parentheses, the isolated store path, both as docs/**/*.mdx.
    • node_modules/.bun/bun-types@*/node_modules/bun-types is the location the isolated linker always creates: the store entry is named <name>@<version> (plus a peer suffix the * absorbs, Store.rs:403), and node_modules/.bun/node_modules/bun-types would have been shorter but is skipped with install.hoist = false.
    • Not a single node_modules/**/bun-types/docs/... glob: .bun is a dot directory, which glob tools skip by default (Bun.Glob finds 0 files with it in an isolated project), while a literal .bun segment matches everywhere.
  • packages/bun-types/scripts/build.ts turns the same template into the package's own CLAUDE.md. It already stripped node_modules/bun-types/; it now also drops the parenthesized store path, so the packed copy says docs/**/*.mdx.
  • scripts/glob-sources.ts: the template is embedded with include_bytes! but was not an input of the cargo edge, so after editing it bun bd reported nothing to do and the new init test would have run against the previous binary (checked: edit, bun bd, binary unchanged). The bun init template tree is added next to the existing .html entry that exists for the same reason, and the list is deduplicated since the templates contain three .html files. build: rebuild libbun_rust when an include_bytes! asset changes (cargo dep-info as the edge's depfile) #38026 replaces this list with cargo's dep-info; if it lands first, this entry goes away along with the .html one.
  • Tests:
    • test/cli/init/init.test.ts: bun init -y in a project whose bunfig.toml selects the hoisted and the isolated linker (CURSOR_TRACE_ID makes the rule get written on every platform), then evaluates every .mdx glob in the rule with Bun.Glob and compares the set of pages found with the set of pages actually installed under any bun-types/docs. Before: hoisted finds 6 of 331, isolated finds 0 of 331. After: both find all 331.
    • test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts: the packed CLAUDE.md must contain no node_modules path and its glob must cover every packed page. Before: 6 of 334. After: 334.
    • Both verified with the fix stashed (src/ and packages/) and restored; the full init.test.ts (17 tests) and bun-types.test.ts pass with bun bd test; test/internal/build-codegen-declared-outputs and a source lint consuming globAllSources() still pass.

Background

  • Agent rule: bun init (non-minimal templates) writes src/runtime/cli/init/rule.md as .cursor/rules/*.mdc when Cursor is detected and as CLAUDE.md when a claude binary is on PATH (Template::create_agent_rule, init_command.rs:1471). packages/bun-types/scripts/build.ts ships the same file inside the bun-types package, rewritten to be package relative, and bun-types also ships the docs as docs/**/*.mdx.
  • Hoisted vs isolated linker: hoisted installs flatten every package, transitive ones included, into the top-level node_modules. The isolated linker (pnpm style) installs each package into the store node_modules/.bun/<name>@<version>/node_modules/<name> and links only the project's direct dependencies into the top-level node_modules; it is the default for new workspace projects and can be enabled per project or globally in bunfig.toml.
  • Cargo edge inputs: ninja decides whether to re-invoke cargo from a configure-time file list (scripts/glob-sources.ts, rust). Cargo itself tracks include_bytes! files, but only gets to look once ninja runs it, so an embedded file missing from that list is silently stale on warm builds.

The rule template that bun init writes as CLAUDE.md / the cursor rule ends
with a pointer to node_modules/bun-types/docs/**.mdx. bun-types is only a
transitive dependency (of @types/bun), so with the isolated linker it is not
linked at the top level and that directory does not exist; the package lives
in node_modules/.bun/bun-types@<version>/node_modules/bun-types. The glob
also only matched the six top-level pages, since **.mdx does not recurse.

Name both locations with a recursive glob. packages/bun-types/scripts/build.ts
rewrites the same template into the package's own CLAUDE.md, so it now drops
the isolated-linker path as well as the node_modules/bun-types/ prefix.

The template is embedded with include_bytes! and was not an input of the
cargo edge, so editing it left `bun bd` with nothing to do; list the init
templates next to the existing .html entry and dedupe the overlapping
matches.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR updates generated Bun documentation paths for package-store and isolated-linker layouts. It includes all init templates in source globs, removes duplicate matches, and adds validation for generated and packed documentation references.

Documentation paths and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Path generation and source inclusion
packages/bun-types/scripts/build.ts, scripts/glob-sources.ts, src/runtime/cli/init/rule.md
The build removes package-store paths. Source globs include init templates and deduplicate results. The init rule supports standard and isolated-linker documentation paths.
Init rule validation
test/cli/init/init.test.ts
A parameterized test validates generated Cursor rules with hoisted and isolated dependency linkers.
Packed documentation validation
test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts
The integration test verifies that packed CLAUDE.md references existing .mdx files and covers all packed documentation pages.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c1ac3

The change updates documentation paths and supporting tests/build inputs; the only remaining issue is that two independent test cases run serially, which may slightly increase test time but does not affect product behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Status: fix pushed, waiting on CI.

Reproduced with the released binary (1.4.0-canary.1): in an empty directory with a bunfig.toml containing [install]\nlinker = "isolated", CURSOR_TRACE_ID=1 bun init -y writes the rule pointing at node_modules/bun-types/docs/**.mdx, while the top-level node_modules only contains @types and typescript; the package is at node_modules/.bun/bun-types@1.3.14/node_modules/bun-types. With the hoisted linker the directory exists, but docs/**.mdx matches 6 of its 331 pages.

Proof: with src/ and packages/ stashed, the two new cases in test/cli/init/init.test.ts fail (hoisted finds 6 of 331 pages, isolated 0 of 331) and the new case in test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts fails (6 of 334); with the change restored all of them pass, as do the rest of both files.

Follows up on #27950 / #27964 (the closed PRs #27969 and #28302 swapped the pointer for a URL, which was rejected because bun-types does ship the docs).

LGTM — the only user-visible change is the last line of the bun init agent-rule template.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced the packed CLAUDE.md transform in build.ts: the new regex strips the parenthesized store path before the existing node_modules/bun-types/ strip, leaving docs/**/*.mdx; the pre-computed endOfFrontMatter index stays valid because both replacements only touch the final line.
  • Confirmed src/cli is a symlink to src/runtime/cli, so build.ts's ../../../src/cli/init/rule.md reads the file this PR edits.
  • glob-sources.ts: the new pattern overlaps src/runtime/**/*.html on the init template's .html files, and the array→Set change deduplicates that; sort and non-empty assertion preserved.
  • New tests follow the file's existing describe.concurrent / tempDir / pipe-drain conventions; CURSOR_TRACE_ID + CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_RULE_DISABLED correctly forces only the cursor rule per init_command.rs:1454/1567.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes a dead docs pointer in the bun init agent rule template. The one-line change to src/runtime/cli/init/rule.md corrects docs/**.mdx → docs/**/*.mdx and adds the isolated-linker store path in parentheses. Three supporting changes keep everything consistent: packages/bun-types/scripts/build.ts strips the new parenthetical when packing the template into the bun-types package (so it reads docs/**/*.mdx package-relative); scripts/glob-sources.ts adds the init template tree to the cargo edge inputs (so editing the embedded template invalidates the build) and deduplicates the source list; and two tests verify the globs resolve to every installed/packed doc page under both linkers.

Security risks

None. The runtime change is a static markdown string embedded via include_bytes! and written verbatim to the user's project during bun init. No parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto, no path handling on user data. The build-script regex operates on a repo-controlled template.

Level of scrutiny

Low. The user-visible surface is documentation text in a scaffolded file. The glob-sources.ts change only affects when ninja re-invokes cargo (worst case: an unnecessary rebuild). The build.ts change is a string transform on a known-shape template, and the new integration test locks its output.

Other factors

The PR description documents that the tests fail with the fix stashed and pass with it applied, and that unrelated consumers of globAllSources() still pass. The one CodeRabbit comment (test.concurrent.each) was correctly rebutted (enclosing describe.concurrent already handles it) and resolved. I verified the src/cli → runtime/cli symlink so the two consumers of rule.md read the same file, and checked that CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_RULE_DISABLED gates only the CLAUDE.md path (not the cursor rule) in init_command.rs, matching what the test relies on. The new tests' network usage (real bun install inside bun init) matches every other test in init.test.ts and reuses its cache-priming beforeAll.
