budget2.0/CLAUDE.md

Default to using Bun instead of Node.js.

• Use bun <file> instead of node <file> or ts-node <file>
• Use bun test instead of jest or vitest
• Use bun build <file.html|file.ts|file.css> instead of webpack or esbuild
• Use bun install instead of npm install or yarn install or pnpm install
• Use bun run <script> instead of npm run <script> or yarn run <script> or pnpm run <script>
• Use bunx <package> <command> instead of npx <package> <command>
• Bun automatically loads .env, so don't use dotenv.

APIs

• Bun.serve() supports WebSockets, HTTPS, and routes. Don't use express.
• bun:sqlite for SQLite. Don't use better-sqlite3.
• Bun.redis for Redis. Don't use ioredis.
• Bun.sql for Postgres. Don't use pg or postgres.js.
• WebSocket is built-in. Don't use ws.
• Prefer Bun.file over node:fs's readFile/writeFile
• Bun.$ls instead of execa.

Testing

Use bun test to run tests.

import { test, expect } from "bun:test";

test("hello world", () => {
  expect(1).toBe(1);
});

Frontend

Use HTML imports with Bun.serve(). Don't use vite. HTML imports fully support React, CSS, Tailwind.

Server:

import index from "./index.html"

Bun.serve({
  routes: {
    "/": index,
    "/api/users/:id": {
      GET: (req) => {
        return new Response(JSON.stringify({ id: req.params.id }));
      },
    },
  },
  // optional websocket support
  websocket: {
    open: (ws) => {
      ws.send("Hello, world!");
    },
    message: (ws, message) => {
      ws.send(message);
    },
    close: (ws) => {
      // handle close
    }
  },
  development: {
    hmr: true,
    console: true,
  }
})

HTML files can import .tsx, .jsx or .js files directly and Bun's bundler will transpile & bundle automatically. <link> tags can point to stylesheets and Bun's CSS bundler will bundle.

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
    <script type="module" src="./frontend.tsx"></script>
  </body>
</html>

With the following frontend.tsx:

import React from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";

// import .css files directly and it works
import './index.css';

const root = createRoot(document.body);

export default function Frontend() {
  return <h1>Hello, world!</h1>;
}

root.render(<Frontend />);

Then, run index.ts

bun --hot ./index.ts

Project invariants (Budget 2.0)

• src/domain/ is pure: no React, no IndexedDB, no Date.now(), no new Date() without an explicit argument. It must be testable with no DOM.
• Money is a float. Always round with roundMoney from src/domain/money.ts after any division, after any FX conversion, and before persisting.
• When splitting an amount, never round the last part independently. Compute it as total - sum(others) so the parts sum exactly to the whole.
• MonthId is the string "YYYY-MM". Stored data never contains Date objects.
• The envelope rollover fold has exactly one implementation, in src/domain/fold.ts. Year and summary views aggregate over it — they never reimplement the math.
• Over-budget is always allowed. Never add validation that blocks it.
• Base path comes from BUN_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH; never hardcode a subpath.
• Read the spec at docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-01-budget-app-design.md.
