+description: Implement a spec or ticket in Claude Code by delegating the work to the cheapest Claude model that can handle each piece (Haiku for mechanical edits, Sonnet for normal work), then independently verify the final change on the orchestrator's model. Use when the user asks to implement, build, or fix work and wants it done cheaply, on a cheaper model, or with delegated implementation and a verification pass.
+---
+
+# Tiered Verified Implement
+
+Invoke `/implement` and follow it as the baseline workflow. This skill is its cost-saving, delegated, verified variant: cheap models write the code, the orchestrator's model checks it.
+
+## Model tiers
+
+Pick the cheapest tier that can do each piece without guessing:
+
+- `haiku`: mechanical work with no design decisions — renames, boilerplate, fixture or snapshot updates, wiring an existing pattern into one more place, translations, doc edits.
+- `sonnet`: the default — new logic, bug fixes, tests for real behavior, anything touching several files in one seam.
+- Orchestrator (yourself): only for work a cheap agent failed on twice, or that needs a consequential design call the spec leaves open. Ask the user about such calls before delegating rather than letting a cheap agent guess.
+
+When unsure between two tiers, choose the lower one; escalation is cheaper than defaulting high.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Read the spec or ticket, repository guidance, affected flow, and existing worktree changes. Record the starting commit and task-owned scope; preserve unrelated changes.
+2. Split only genuinely independent, bounded work. If the change is small or one seam owns it, use one implementation agent; do not manufacture parallelism. Assign each piece a tier.
+3. Spawn each implementation agent with the Agent tool: `subagent_type: "general-purpose"` and `model` set to its tier. Never use `subagent_type: "fork"` for this — forks ignore the `model` override and run on the expensive orchestrator model. Fresh agents start cold, so the brief carries everything: exact owned files/seam, acceptance criteria, relevant file paths and existing patterns to copy, required checks (targeted tests, typecheck), and an instruction not to overwrite or revert other agents' work. A precise brief is the main cost lever: it stops the cheap agent from re-exploring the repo.
+4. Wait for agents, inspect their diffs (not their whole exploration), resolve overlaps minimally, and run the checks required by `/implement`: targeted tests and typecheck during work, then the full relevant suite once.
+5. If an agent's result fails checks or misses the spec, send it back once with the concrete failure (SendMessage keeps its context). If it fails again, escalate one tier: haiku → sonnet → orchestrator.
+6. Spawn a fresh, read-only verification agent (`subagent_type: "general-purpose"`) with `model` set explicitly to the orchestrator's own tier (e.g. `opus` when you run on Opus). Set it explicitly rather than omitting it, since a configured default subagent model could silently downgrade the verifier. Give it the original request, starting commit, current diff, and test output, but not implementation conclusions. Ask it to check correctness, regressions, specification coverage, and test evidence, and to report findings without changing files.
+7. Fix confirmed findings (delegate back to the cheap tier when the fix is mechanical), rerun affected checks, and repeat verification once if fixes were needed. Run `/code-review` on the current working result (including staged, unstaged, and new files), passing the original spec, starting commit, and task-owned scope. Follow `/implement`'s commit boundary: commit only when requested, otherwise hand off the verified diff.
+
+In the final report, list which tier did each piece and any escalations, so the user can see where the cheap models held up.
+
+## Delegation rules
+
+- Keep all agents in the same workspace; assign non-overlapping ownership before they edit.
+- Do not delegate secrets, production writes, destructive operations, or changes requiring new user authority.
+- If subagents are unavailable, implement directly, run the same checks, and state that delegated implementation and verification were unavailable.

 All AI agents (including Cline, Antigravity, Cursor, and Copilot) must adhere to the following rules before declaring a task complete:

+   - The overall project line coverage must be maintained at **80% or higher**. Bun reports line data only; statement, branch and function coverage are no longer measured.
    - Verify coverage by running:

    - If your changes introduce new code or modify existing code in a way that drops the coverage below 80%, you must write appropriate unit tests in `.spec.ts` files to bring it back up.
 
 2. **Code Formatting (Prettier)**:
-   - All code files must be correctly formatted according to the project's Prettier config before finishing.

    - You must execute the local validation commands before completing your task. The Gitea workflow is `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`; owner activation is tracked in issue #268, and local checks do not satisfy the migration gate. All of the following commands must pass:
      - **Linting check**: `bun run lint` (or use `bun run lint:fix` to resolve auto-fixable issues)
      - **Formatting check**: `bun run format:check`
-     - **TypeScript Type check**: `bunx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.app.json` and `bunx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.spec.json`
+     - **TypeScript Type check**: `bun run typecheck` (`bun check` for application and test code; it does not replace the production build, which alone checks Angular templates)
      - **Unit Tests and Coverage**: generate the language registry, then run the coverage command in rule 1, matching the Gitea functional-test job.
-     - **CI policy and publication**: `node scripts/ci-policy.test.mjs` and `node scripts/ci-image.test.mjs`

+
+Project scripts run Node-shebang tools (`ng`, `eslint`, `prettier`) on Bun even when Node is installed: `bunfig.toml` sets `[run] bun = true`, which is the `--bun` flag for every `bun run`. Start them through the scripts above. A bare `bunx` or `bun x` uses Node when it is on `PATH`; for a one-off tool, use `bun --bun x <tool>`.
+
+Angular compiles with TypeScript 6. `bun check` is Bun's TypeScript 7 checker for standalone type errors in application and test code. Neither replaces the other: only `bun run build` (Angular's compiler) checks templates, so a passing `typecheck` does not replace the production build. ESLint and Prettier stay until a stable Bun release ships its native linter and formatter ([bun-adoption](docs/bun-adoption.md#status)).
 
 ## Performance benchmark
 
 Build or start the application, then open `/benchmark`. The isolated harness covers a representative year, typed obligations, chained earned entitlements, a deliberate conflict, a loaded year, and two- and three-year horizons with dated annual balances. It reports preparation time, planning latency, planning-work time, total wall time through explanation delivery, UI timer delay, available main-thread heap measurements, outcome, last completed stage, placement count, and determinism.

+The release protocol, recorded desktop measurements, and hardware limitations are documented in [docs/benchmark/README.md](docs/benchmark/README.md).

CI runs the complete seven-scenario protocol with `bun test` and requires each scenario to stay within its budget relative to a frozen-engine calibration, with a 600-second hang guard. Bun measurements do not establish browser or reference-phone speedups.

+The image builds the Angular application and the server bundle with Bun alone (no Node), then runs `dist/vac-optimizer/server/server.js` with Bun.

+The server answers `GET` and `HEAD` only (other methods get 405).

A missing path with a file extension is a 404 rather than HTML, malformed or escaping paths are a 400, and unexpected failures are logged and answered with a plain 500.
 
 ## Continuous integration
 
 [`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`](.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) defines Gitea Actions validation, functional coverage, production builds, security scans, and Docker image publication. [Issue #268](https://gitea.nessar.fr/nessar/vac-optimizer/issues/268) tracks activation. Actions is enabled with owner approval; publisher credentials and live workflow validation are still pending. The [activation guide](docs/gitea-actions.md) records runner, credential, permission, and merge-gate requirements.
 
-The workflow runs on branch/tag pushes, PR opening/reopening/synchronization/edits, and manual dispatch. Manual runs validate without publishing images. Required jobs cover policy regression tests, GitFlow and Conventional Commits, ESLint, Prettier, application/test type checks, Vitest coverage, the production build, Semgrep SAST, and Trivy dependency/secret scans. Coverage, build output, and SARIF reports are retained for seven days.

Coverage, build output, and SARIF reports are retained for seven days.
 
-Functional tests use one worker and a 2 GiB Node heap. The separate benchmark job runs without coverage and keeps its five-minute protocol timeout. At the user's request, it has `continue-on-error: true` while [#78](https://gitea.nessar.fr/nessar/vac-optimizer/issues/78) is open. #78 must restore the benchmark gate after the protocol passes. Passing functional checks during this exception does not establish benchmark acceptance.
+Jobs that run project commands install Bun 1.4.3 with `scripts/install-bun.sh` (a checksum-verified download, no npm) and run their steps with a `PATH` that holds Bun but no Node. The job containers keep Node only for Gitea's checkout and artifact actions, which are JavaScript actions the runner executes itself; see the [activation guide](docs/gitea-actions.md#runners-and-permissions).
+
+Functional tests run with `bun test --isolate`; coverage is line-level only (Bun reports no branch or function data). The separate required benchmark job runs without coverage in a container limited to 3 GiB (JavaScriptCore has no heap-size flag, so this replaces the former 2 GiB Node heap cap) and keeps its 600-second hang guard, one warm-up and two measured repetitions of all seven scenarios. [#78](https://gitea.nessar.fr/nessar/vac-optimizer/issues/78) restores this gate after a complete local pass in 298.6 seconds; see [the measurements and hardware limits](docs/benchmark/issue-78.md). Benchmark success is required for image publication and the aggregate `required` job. The narrow local timing margin still needs confirmation on the CI runner.
 
 The `required` job aggregates successful validation and expected image publication, accepting the image job's intentional skip for fork PRs and manual runs. Image jobs require successful validation and are limited to pushes and same-repository PRs. Registry credentials are confined to the publishing step.

+# Bun Runtime and Native Tooling
+
+VacOptimizer will use Bun as the runtime for project-owned JavaScript in
+development, CI, and production, adopting its native test runner, linter,
+formatter, type checker, and HTTP server even without measured performance gains.
+This deliberately accepts Bun-specific tooling and migration work while retaining
+Angular's standard compiler and build pipeline, including TypeScript 6 for
+Angular compilation alongside `bun check` for standalone TypeScript checking.
+
+Verification on stable Bun 1.4.3 narrowed this: ESLint and Prettier stay,
+run by Bun, until a stable release ships the native linter and formatter;
+Angular builds a client-only bundle, because its server build relies on Node
+loader hooks Bun does not apply, and a small `Bun.serve` server delivers it,
+giving up `@angular/ssr`; coverage is line-level, converted from lcov to the
+existing HTML and Cobertura reports; and the benchmark's heap cap becomes a
+container memory limit.
+
+Existing behavior, tests, lint rules, coverage reporting, and benchmark budgets
+must be preserved; incompatibilities must be fixed or reported as blockers before
+declaring completion, and a Node.js fallback does not meet the runtime requirement.
+The [development spec](../bun-adoption.md) records the agreed boundaries,
+acceptance criteria, and remaining verification.

+are unchanged; the test now prints its existing report.
+
+## Relative CI gate
+
+The relative gate replaces the 300-second acceptance protocol named in
+[#78](https://gitea.nessar.fr/nessar/vac-optimizer/issues/78) as the benchmark
+policy. This is an explicit policy change from #279/#285: runners differ in
+speed, so a fixed wall-clock limit was flaky.
+
+Before the protocol, in the same process, the spec times the frozen engine
+(`src/app/services/frozen-engine/leave-planner.core.frozen.mjs`, the engine at
+a871f8f) on the `two years` scenario, best of three, and prints the result.
+Each scenario's budget is its multiplier times that calibration; the mean
+`planningMs` of its two measured repetitions must not exceed it. A scenario
+without a multiplier fails too. `#286` tightens the multipliers once the speed
+target is met.
+
+The job log shows a Markdown table with one row per scenario, printed as soon
+as that scenario finishes. Each row gives both measured planning times, their
+mean, the budget, the ratio to the calibration, the multiplier, the outcome,
+placements, determinism and `ok`, `OVER` or `no budget`. The complete
+tab-separated report follows the table.

+srvhome is about 1.9 times slower than nessar-desktop, so its whole protocol
+needs roughly 400 seconds. The original 300-second `timeout` killed it during
+the loaded year, while every completed scenario was within budget. The CI
+`timeout` is therefore 600 seconds and the test timeout 570 seconds. They are
+only hang guards and do not judge speed; #286 lowers them once the speed
+target is met.
+
+The protocol now runs on Bun's test runner, outside coverage:
+`timeout 600s bun test src/app/benchmark --timeout=600000`. JavaScriptCore has
+no equivalent of Node's `--max-old-space-size`, so the CI benchmark job enforces
+memory with a 3 GiB container limit instead of the former 2 GiB heap cap.
+Scenarios, calibration, warm-up, repetitions, determinism checks and
+multipliers are unchanged. One local run (Bun 1.4.3, Node unavailable) took
+268 seconds and passed every scenario; the frozen-engine calibration was
+3.79 s and the ratios were 0.14 (representative year), 1.43 (typed
+obligations), 0.01 (chained earned entitlements), 0.00 (deliberate conflict),
+17.50 (loaded year), 0.64 (two years) and 2.18 (three years). These are Bun
+measurements; they do not establish browser or reference-phone speedups.

+## Frozen-engine differential check
+
+`src/app/services/frozen-engine.spec.ts` runs 5,000 seeded random planning
+requests (seeds 280000 to 284999, one test per 200 seeds) through the current
+engine and through a frozen copy of the engine at `a871f8f`, develop after
+PR #278. For each request, the planning outcome, stable plan explanation,
+explanation error and final-state snapshot must be strictly deep-equal,
+including `PlanningConflict` and `InvalidInput` outcomes. Timings are not
+compared.
+
+Start dates span 2025 to 2027. About 15% of requests start in late December and
+cross a year boundary, and about 15% start shortly before a weekday French
+public holiday. Most horizons last 7 to 28 days; about 10% last 29 to 70 days
+with optimization presets and at most one calendar rule. Requests cover
+obligation and preference rules, `IF_THEN` rules with earned leave
+entitlements, `TIME_WINDOW` rules, optimization presets in random order and
+subsets, random composed optimization configurations, disabled rules, declared
+non-working days and a few deliberately invalid requests. The last test fails
+if an outcome kind, rule type, year-crossing horizon or public-holiday horizon
+stops appearing. Requests stay small because candidate search grows quickly
+with horizon length and balances; the slowest case takes about one second.
+
+The fixture is `src/app/services/frozen-engine/leave-planner.core.frozen.mjs`,
+a generated bundle with `date-holidays` left external, and its hand-written
+`leave-planner.core.frozen.d.mts`. Rebuild it only for an intended behavior
+change, in its own reviewed commit, from the commit that introduces the change:
+
+```sh
+bun build src/app/services/leave-planner.core.ts --target=node --external date-holidays --outfile src/app/services/frozen-engine/leave-planner.core.frozen.mjs
+```
+
+A failure prints the seed and the full request as JSON. To run only that seed:
+
+```sh
+FROZEN_ENGINE_SEED=<seed> bun test --isolate src/app/services/frozen-engine.spec.ts
+```
+
+The check runs in the functional suite. On the development laptop with Bun
+1.4.3 it takes about 54 seconds with or without coverage
+(`bun test --config=bunfig.coverage.toml --isolate src/app/services/frozen-engine.spec.ts`; coverage is line-level only).
+A flipped objective direction in `compareObjectiveValues` made 26 of its tests
+fail, starting at seed 280002; the change was reverted.

+# Issue #279: incremental exact scoring
+
+Step-by-step record for [issue #279](https://gitea.nessar.fr/nessar/vac-optimizer/issues/279).
+Each step keeps planning outcomes, stable explanations and final states identical
+to develop after PR #278 (`a871f8f`). The
+[frozen-engine differential check](README.md#frozen-engine-differential-check)
+guards every step.
+
+All measurements use Node 24.18.0, Bun 1.3.14 and Vitest 5.0.3 on the development
+laptop, with no other test, build or profiling workload running alongside the
+protocol. Only same-session before/after pairs are comparable.
+
+```sh
+NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=2048 timeout 300s bunx vitest run src/app/benchmark/leave-planner-benchmark.spec.ts --maxWorkers=1
+```
+
+The per-scenario figures below are the means of the two measured calculations.
+
+## Baseline profile
+
+A CPU profile of the bundled core over all seven scenarios, with
+`calculationDate: '2024-01-01'`, put 50.5 of 67.0 loaded-year seconds in
+candidate evaluation (`evaluateRuleCandidate`). Of those, 41.3 seconds went to
+active-objective evaluation: 15.6 seconds in time-off-period observations,
+11.5 seconds in building observations and 7.6 seconds in sorting placement dates
+for the placement tie key and the observation cache key. The asynchronous
+adapter's 1 ms timer yields cost about 7% on typed obligations.
+
+## #282: consolidate plan observations
+
+Time-off periods, work sequences, public-holiday weeks, balance observations,
+the placement list and both tie keys now live in
+`src/app/services/plan-observations.ts`. The code moved without behavior
+changes. All seven scenarios produce byte-identical outcomes, explanations and
+final states compared with `a871f8f`.
+
+| Measurement         |    Before |     After |
+| ------------------- | --------: | --------: |
+| Vitest duration     | 262.000 s | 262.030 s |
+| Loaded year         |  66.010 s |  66.497 s |
+| Typed obligations   |   4.887 s |   4.964 s |
+| Two years           |   2.914 s |   2.977 s |
+| Three years         |  10.203 s |  10.049 s |
+| Representative year |   0.557 s |   0.569 s |
+
+The differences are within run-to-run noise. The functional suite passes
+666 tests across 34 files, including the frozen-engine check.
+
+## #283: incremental plan observations
+
+Each placements map now carries an immutable occupancy: its sorted placement
+dates, time-off period groups, public-holiday-week completeness and lazily
+computed calendar observations. A candidate derived from its parent by one added
+or removed date, or by a copy with the same dates, updates only the affected
+groups and holiday weeks. Unchanged groups keep their cached periods and
+observation objects. Maps built from snapshots, maps observed against another
+calendar and dates that are not in-horizon working days fall back to the
+from-scratch computation.
+
+The from-scratch computation remains the oracle. A fast-check property test
+applies random add, remove and retype sequences across year boundaries, horizon
+edges, declared days, weekends and public holidays, and compares every step with
+it. An opt-in shadow mode (`VAC_OBSERVATION_SHADOW=1` or
+`setObservationShadowMode(true)`) compares both on every observation and throws
+on any mismatch. It passed across the frozen-engine check and all seven
+benchmark scenarios, whose outcomes, explanations and final states stay
+byte-identical.
+
+| Measurement         |    Before |     After |
+| ------------------- | --------: | --------: |
+| Vitest duration     | 262.030 s | 193.680 s |
+| Loaded year         |  66.497 s |  48.489 s |
+| Typed obligations   |   4.964 s |   4.947 s |
+| Two years           |   2.977 s |   1.906 s |
+| Three years         |  10.049 s |   6.152 s |
+| Representative year |   0.569 s |   0.441 s |
+
+A fresh loaded-year CPU profile of the bundled core took 46.8 seconds. Of the
+1.68 million observed placement maps, one was built from scratch; the rest were
+derived. Observations now take about 4 seconds. Candidate evaluation still
+dominates: 24.3 seconds in `evaluateRuleCandidate`, including 15.2 seconds of
+active objectives and 6.9 seconds of candidate finalization, plus 6.2 seconds
+assigning dates and about 5 seconds each of garbage collection and timer idle
+time.
+
+The functional suite passes 669 tests across 35 files.
+
+## #284: prune candidates that cannot beat the protected prefix
+
+Before #284, `evaluateRuleCandidate` finalized every candidate before comparing
+its objectives. In the loaded year, 650,369 of 1,233,535 evaluations (53%) then
+ended at a worse protected prefix. For typed obligations it was 74,336 of
+273,470, and for three years 38,048 of 193,621.
+
+Finalizing never moves or retypes a placement. It edits only rule
+provenance, supporting status, earned activations and earned balances. Before
+finalizing, the evaluation therefore walks the candidate's protected prefix in
+objective order, using only objectives whose pre-finalize value is already their
+exact final value, so the bound is tight:
+
+- time-window and if-then preferences read only placement dates and types,
+  plus declared days;
+- public-holiday-week, time-off-period and work-sequence optimizations read
+  only the placement dates;
+- leave-balance optimizations are exact only when no enabled if-then rule earns
+  days and the candidate has no earned activation;
+- leave-placement optimizations have no safe bound, because finalizing rewrites
+  supporting status.
+
+The walk prunes at the first differing objective when it is worse than the
+baseline. It stops without pruning at a better value or at an objective without
+a safe bound. A pruned candidate would have failed finalization or returned at
+the same comparison, and incumbents are retained only after the full objective
+vector is built. Pruning therefore never changes which candidate wins or which
+incumbent is retained.
+
+The frozen-engine check now also runs every tenth seed through both engines'
+asynchronous adapter, cancelled after a seed-derived number of steps. It
+compares outcomes, artifacts, every checkpoint, the explanation and outcome
+callbacks, and the step count. Of those 500 cases, 422 end incomplete and 217
+of those keep an incumbent. Pruning on any differing objective breaks both
+variants. Wrongly treating leave-placement or earning leave-balance objectives
+as exact went undetected, because the generated requests rarely put those
+objectives in a protected prefix, so their exclusion rests on the argument
+above. The check now takes about 60 seconds with coverage.
+
+| Measurement         |    Before |     After |
+| ------------------- | --------: | --------: |
+| Vitest duration     | 193.680 s | 180.250 s |
+| Loaded year         |  48.489 s |  44.287 s |
+| Typed obligations   |   4.947 s |   5.023 s |
+| Two years           |   1.906 s |   1.837 s |
+| Three years         |   6.152 s |   5.935 s |
+| Representative year |   0.441 s |   0.400 s |
+
+All seven scenarios keep byte-identical outcomes, explanations and final states.
+The functional suite passes 684 tests across 35 files.
+
+## #286: speed target not reached
+
+The target is a loaded year under 10 seconds and every other scenario under 3
+seconds, using the existing protocol in Node on the development laptop. The
+exact optimizations of #282 to #284 do not reach it. Means from the latest
+protocol run, with the #285 calibration of 2.854 seconds:
+
+| Scenario                    | Target |   Latest | Gap factor |
+| --------------------------- | -----: | -------: | ---------: |
+| Loaded year                 | < 10 s | 44.094 s |       4.4x |
+| Typed obligations           |  < 3 s |  5.071 s |       1.7x |
+| Three years                 |  < 3 s |  5.887 s |       2.0x |
+| Two years                   |  < 3 s |  1.865 s |        met |
+| Representative year         |  < 3 s |  0.402 s |        met |
+| Chained earned entitlements |  < 3 s |  0.025 s |        met |
+| Deliberate conflict         |  < 3 s |  0.013 s |        met |
+
+From develop after PR #278 to now, the loaded year went from 66.0 to 44.1
+seconds (−33%), three years from 10.2 to 5.9 seconds and two years from 2.9 to
+1.9 seconds. Typed obligations is unchanged at about 5 seconds. The protocol went
+from 262.0 to 180.3 seconds.
+
+Because the target is not met, the #285 multipliers stay at current speed and
+the hang-guard timeout is not lowered. #286 remains open for a
+separate decision on search changes.
+
+### Remaining loaded-year profile
+
+A fresh CPU profile of the bundled core at the #285 commit took 43.5 seconds,
+with outcomes still byte-identical:
+
+| Inclusive cost                                                          | Seconds |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------: |
+| Candidate evaluation (`evaluateRuleCandidate`)                          |    21.4 |
+| — active objectives, including the pruning walk                         |    16.7 |
+| — of which objective evaluation (`evaluateOptimization`)                |     7.7 |
+| — of which plan observations                                            |     4.2 |
+| — candidate finalization                                                |     2.7 |
+| Date assignment and release (`assignDateToBalance`, `releasePlacement`) |     8.1 |
+| Garbage collection                                                      |     5.1 |
+| Idle time between asynchronous slices                                   |     4.6 |
+
+The remaining cost is spread over about 1.2 million candidate evaluations
+rather than concentrated in one computation. Further exact work could:
+
+- yield with something cheaper than a 1 ms timer between 8 ms slices, saving up
+  to the 4.6 seconds of idle time;
+- validate optimization configurations once instead of on every evaluation,
+  about 1 second;
+- copy fewer balances and earned activations when assigning a date.
+
+Together these are worth perhaps 8 to 10 seconds, still well above 10 seconds
+for the loaded year. Reaching the target needs fewer candidate evaluations,
+which is a search change outside #279's exactness constraint.
+
+### ADR 0003
+
+ADR 0003 targets five seconds for the dependency-free planner. Under composable
+optimization rules, the loaded year takes about 44 seconds in Node on the
+development laptop even after these exact optimizations. That target should be
+revisited for the loaded year, together with the decision on search changes.
+This record does not revise the ADR.

+integrated planner at `2f4af14869c47836d2c1008157136f75c9d3e98b`.
+[Issue #78](https://gitea.nessar.fr/nessar/vac-optimizer/issues/78) supplies the
+acceptance criteria. The original spec, baseline source, profiles, diagnostic
+runners and complete local logs are retained in `/tmp/vac-issue-78`.
+

+
+The passing run includes the existing typed-obligation precheck, all seven
+warm-ups, and two measured repetitions of every scenario. Coverage is disabled,
+the Node heap is limited to 2048 MiB and the full command retains its 300-second
+timeout. No other build, test or profiling workload ran alongside it.
+
+[The complete 14-row report](issue-78-protocol.tsv) preserves every measured row.
+Every repetition has its expected outcome, placement count and final stage;
+each second repetition matches its first complete outcome. The deliberate
+conflict remains a conflict with zero placements. The other scenarios complete
+through `dates`, with 30, 10, 3, 72, 60 and 90 placements respectively.
+
+The fixture module is byte-for-byte unchanged, SHA-256
+`16e057fa042c898d203f71e018f183c9fbecb5cd0edbf0ce0f3f25277cb00d3a`.
+The test change only prints its existing report; all correctness assertions,
+configurations, quotas, horizons, warm-ups and repetition counts remain intact.
+There are no trace counters, transfers or acknowledgement waits.
+
+The passing command has only **1.449 seconds of external-timeout headroom**.
+This is a local pass, not a runner-speed guarantee. Gitea Actions now requires

+
+## Environment and memory
+
+AMD Ryzen 5 7640U, 12 logical CPUs, approximately 16 GiB RAM; Linux
+`6.18.33.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2`. Node 24.18.0, Bun 1.3.14, Vitest 5.0.3,
+TypeScript 6.0.3, Angular core 22.2.1 and date-holidays 3.30.2. The calculation
+calendar date is fixed to `2024-01-01`, matching the benchmark test. Node runs
+are unthrottled. These versions differ from the configured CI container's
+Node 24.21.0 and Bun 1.4.2; live CI performance has not been measured here.
+
+The passing protocol's sampled peak process-tree RSS is **1,528,056 KiB**,
+sampled every 500 ms across the timeout/Bun/Vitest process tree. RSS includes
+multiple processes and runtime overhead; it is not a JS-heap measurement.
+Chromium's `performance.memory` is unavailable in the Node protocol, so its
+`peak_main_thread_heap_bytes` cells remain blank.
+
+## Profile and changes
+
+A separate, explicitly interrupted 20-second loaded-year diagnostic used Node's
+inspector CPU and allocation sampling. Candidate finalization, state copying,
+calendar observation construction, period bounds and work-sequence scanning
+were substantial costs. Allocation sampling included collected objects; its
+cumulative allocation estimates are not peak live memory or protocol timings.
+The diagnostic retained a valid 72-placement partial plan on cancellation.
+
+A separate 20-second repeated-work probe observed 29 preference-pass executions
+and no identical input-state revisit among cache misses. Complete obligation
+previews remain in place; there is no new state-equivalence or search-budget
+shortcut.
+
+The change addresses those measured paths:
+
+- Evaluate objectives in their actual priority order. Once a protected prefix
+  loses, or an admissible candidate loses to the current best candidate, lower
+  objective values cannot reverse that lexicographic comparison. Full vectors
+  remain available for retained improvements, displayed explanations and date
+  analysis; tied-prefix additions keep their original retention behavior.
+- Build cached calendar observations only when an evaluated objective needs
+  them. The existing request-local, 4096-entry geometry cache retains its
+  boundary; balance quantities, provenance and supporting status remain outside
+  it. Work-sequence lengths use the prepared working-day prefixes and period
+  anchors instead of rebuilding every sequence's date array for scoring.
+- Share existing placements for reading during a single-date assignment, while
+  continuing to copy balances and earned activations. Bundle and relocation
+  paths detach placements before changing supporting status. Snapshot,
+  provenance and other mutable-copy paths retain their deep copies.
+- Reuse calendar-request validation during finalization instead of looking up
+  and scanning the same provenance again for each placement.
+
+No candidate destinations, allocation choices, obligation previews or rule
+priorities are removed. Search limits, earned-entitlement chronology, final
+quality criteria and deterministic tie-breaks are unchanged. No elapsed-time
+engine cutoff is introduced.
+
+## Differential and diagnostic measurements
+
+Complete outcomes, stable explanations and final-state snapshots are compared
+with the saved baseline. The configuration matrix contains 182 cases: supported
+conditions, aggregations and directions; personal objectives before and after
+loss prevention; typed obligations and preferences; declarations; at-risk and
+deferred balances; custom deficit thresholds; and empty/disabled rule lists.
+Three permanent regression cases also pin reordered and custom objective
+vectors, placement dates, provenance and first decisive objectives.
+
+All seven completed diagnostic comparisons also match in full, including the
+loaded year and both longer horizons. Table cells show **before → after**.

+
+The cold diagnostics run each unchanged scenario once, without warm-up or
+coverage, through `calculatePlanningAsyncInternal`, with the same 2048 MiB heap
+and calculation date. They are separate from the acceptance protocol. Occasional
+focused/static checks ran during the baseline investigation; those diagnostic
+timings are informational, not an isolated speedup estimate. The final diagnostic
+run has no competing build/test workload.
+
+Diagnostic preparation ends at the first non-preparation progress callback;
+planning work comes from the core's timing artifact; wall time ends after
+explanation delivery. In the protocol TSV, `preparation_ms` instead measures
+request cloning, while calendar preparation is included in `planning_ms`.
+
+Diagnostic timer delay and `process.memoryUsage().heapUsed` are sampled every
+50 ms. Heap is the whole Node process, including earlier scenarios' live data
+and caches. A dash means no interval sample was taken before a fast scenario
+finished. These are neither allocation totals nor worker-isolated heap claims.
+
+## Native browser checks
+
+Production build, native Chrome 150.0.7871.186 Workers, 375×915 viewport,
+device scale 1, reduced motion and 4× CPU throttling on the laptop above.
+Each completion uses a new page and worker in one isolated Chrome process,
+without a planner warm-up; browser/resource caches are shared between pages.
+The cancellation checks use a separate isolated Chrome process. No other
+build, test or profiler runs alongside these measurements.
+
+| Scenario            | Outcome usable (s) | Calendar ready (s) | Full artifact delivery (s) | Maximum page timer delay (ms) | Peak page heap (MiB) | Chrome RSS before / after outcome (MiB) |

+
+Every completion returns `Plan` through `dates`, with 30, 60 or 90 placements,
+its stable explanation and one planning request. Worker heartbeats continue
+through the long calculations. There are no unexpected page exceptions or
+page-level horizontal overflow at the measured viewport.
+
+During the three-year worker calculation, keyboard editing changed the first
+visible balance from 20 to 99. The captured request remained at 20, the plan
+still contained 90 placements, and no second calculation was sent. Its displayed
+estimate therefore followed the pending edited configuration (22–136 seconds).
+The unchanged 90-day inputs in the cancellation runs retain their 11–68 second
+range; cancelled outcomes add no completion calibration sample. The existing
+session calibration and request-to-rendered-calendar contract are unchanged;
+these samples do not justify changing the rough initial estimate.
+
+Page heap is Chromium's main-thread `performance.memory` sample every 50 ms;
+it excludes the worker heap. Chrome RSS sums the isolated browser process tree
+at 500 ms intervals and outcome/artifact boundaries, including workers,
+renderers and shared pages counted in each process's RSS. It is not a unique
+physical-memory or worker-heap measurement. The post-outcome samples extend
+through calendar readiness and artifact delivery. Calendar readiness is
+observed by a 50 ms page timer after the loading overlay disappears, rather
+than a physical paint measurement.
+
+The observed page timer delays include calendar rendering and reach about
+**2.0 seconds**. Inputs accept edits during worker planning; final calendar
+rendering remains a visible main-thread pause.
+
+Both cancellation flows activate Cancel with Enter and send one cancel message,
+with no additional planning request:
+
+| Cancellation point                                         | Cancel to outcome (ms) | Cancel to artifacts (ms) | Retained placements |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------- |
+| Before a valid plan, controlled startup                    | 61.3                   | 155.0                    | 0                   |
+| Active optimization, after a valid 90-placement checkpoint | 20.6                   | 1979.4                   | 90                  |
+
+The preparation probe queues outgoing worker messages until the keyboard action,
+then releases the plan and cancel in order. It verifies cancellation before any
+valid plan, rather than ordinary startup-latency performance. It reports
+`PlanningIncomplete` without an incumbent or a false conflict. The active
+cancellation displays **Calculation cancelled — partial plan**, retains all 90
+placements and delivers its partial-plan explanation. The first keyboard probe
+omitted the Enter character event and issued no cancel; it was corrected and
+excluded from cancellation evidence.
+
+No physical reference-phone run is available. Desktop CPU throttling does not
+establish phone performance or a duration ceiling. The browser reference
+protocol still uses three measured repetitions; the required Node protocol uses
+two. These counts are unchanged.
+
+## Correctness, static checks and build
+
+```sh
+NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=2048 bunx vitest run --coverage --maxWorkers=1 --exclude='src/app/benchmark/**'
+bunx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.app.json
+bunx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.spec.json

+bunx prettier --check 'scripts/ci-*.mjs' '.gitea/workflows/*.yml'
+node scripts/ci-policy.test.mjs
+node scripts/ci-image.test.mjs
+bun run build
+git diff --check
+```
+
+All pass. Functional coverage: **633 tests across 33 files**, 93.61% statements,
+85.99% branches, 95.70% functions and 95.44% lines, in 92.05 seconds with the
+existing 2 GiB Node heap. The separate benchmark also passes, as recorded above.
+Coverage settings and thresholds are unchanged. The source changes were also
+checked with the 266-test focused planner suite during implementation.
+
+A local probe runs the actual aggregate shell body for 12 combinations of
+benchmark and image outcomes. Failed, cancelled and skipped benchmarks block
+it; successful benchmarks still preserve the intentional fork/manual image
+skip. Both `images` and `required` depend on `benchmark`. The aggregate's first
+failed check exits explicitly, without depending on the runner's shell flags.
+
+The production build retains the existing warning budgets: initial bundle
+2.57 MB against 2.50 MB, and calendar-year styles 12.98 kB against 8 kB. Both
+remain below their unchanged error limits. Sandbox restrictions prevented the
+first build/policy attempt; reruns with local socket/child-process permissions
+passed. Semgrep and Trivy are not installed locally, so their security jobs,
+actual image publication and a live Gitea PR run remain unverified.
+
+## Reproduction
+
+Use the recorded Node/Bun versions and frozen lockfile. Run the exact acceptance
+command above from the integrated baseline checkout for the before measurement,
+and from this working result for the after measurement. The test prints the
+entire TSV report, including failures of its unchanged assertions.
+
+For the separate cold diagnostics, `measure-core.mjs` runs the bundled baseline
+or optimized core over the unchanged `benchmarkScenarios()` JSON in fixture
+order. Generate that JSON in a separate process so the measured Node process
+does not include Angular fixture-export overhead:
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p tmp /tmp/vac-issue-78
+cat > tmp/issue78-fixtures.ts <<'TS'
+import '@angular/compiler';
+import { benchmarkScenarios } from '../src/app/benchmark/leave-planner-benchmark';
+console.log(JSON.stringify(benchmarkScenarios()));
+TS
+bun build tmp/issue78-fixtures.ts --target=node --outfile /tmp/vac-issue-78/fixtures.mjs
+node /tmp/vac-issue-78/fixtures.mjs > /tmp/vac-issue-78/scenarios.json
+```
+
+The diagnostic runner supplies `calculationDate: '2024-01-01'`, captures
+outcome/explanation/final-state callbacks, observes preparation progress and
+samples timer delay and process heap every 50 ms:
+
+```sh
+bun build src/app/services/leave-planner.core.ts --target=node --outfile /tmp/vac-issue-78/optimized-core.mjs
+node --max-old-space-size=2048 /tmp/vac-issue-78/measure-core.mjs optimized
+node --max-old-space-size=2048 /tmp/vac-issue-78/compare-configurations.mjs
+```
+
+The baseline bundle and complete requests, results and profiling sources are
+kept beside those runners. CPU/allocation profiling and the cancelled repeated-
+work probe are diagnostics only; neither counts as a completed benchmark run.
+
+Save the following as `/tmp/vac-issue-78/measure-core.mjs` to recreate the cold
+measurements and complete comparison snapshots. Build `baseline-core.mjs` from
+the recorded baseline with the same `bun build` command, then run with
+`baseline`; use `optimized` for this implementation.

+
+The unchanged benchmark finished in 299.372 seconds before this change, leaving
+only 0.628 seconds before its 300-second timeout. A separate loaded-year CPU
+profile attributed 8.27 of 66.57 seconds to `placementTieKey`, including its
+callees. That function runs when looking up cached calendar observations and
+when comparing final placement dates.
+
+The one-line optimization sorts the placement map's date keys directly, using
+native string sorting. It removes the intermediate placement-to-date array and
+the comparison callback. Every placement map entry is keyed by its placement's
+date, and native string sorting preserves the existing lexical date order, so
+the resulting keys are identical. Search choices and scoring are unchanged.
+
+## Before and after
+
+Both runs used Node 24.18.0, Bun 1.3.14, Vitest 5.0.3, the same local machine,

+
+Measured on 2026-10-16 against `c7e7abc`, which already includes the
+[direct date-key optimization](pr-278-date-keys.md).
+
+A loaded-year CPU profile attributed 4.06 of 69.37 seconds to repeatedly counting
+distinct non-working dates for time-off-period objectives. The existing calendar
+cache already shares frozen date arrays between candidate plans, but each score
+rebuilt a `Set` to count the same dates again.
+
+The objective evaluator now keeps those counts in a `WeakMap` keyed by the frozen
+array. Mutable arrays are recounted on every evaluation. The weak keys allow
+unused arrays to be collected, and configuration validation and duplicate-date
+handling remain intact. This change touches only that scoring operation.
+
+## Before and after
+
+Both protocol runs used Node 24.18.0, Bun 1.3.14 and Vitest 5.0.3 on the same local
+machine. The baseline is the completed run recorded for `c7e7abc`; its saved core
+bundle is byte-for-byte identical to a fresh bundle of that commit. No other

+
+The full command was 4.7% faster in this pair. Both runs completed successfully,
+and every repeated scenario remained deterministic. Live CI performance still
+needs confirmation.
+
+An isolated check using the loaded-year plan's frozen date arrays took
+551–554 ms before and 46–57 ms after for 100,000 scoring calls, following 5,000
+warm-ups per run in before/after/after/before order. That result isolates the repeated

+Both protocol runs use Node 24.18.0, Bun 1.3.14 and Vitest 5.0.3 on the same local
+machine. This comparison uses a fresh baseline from this session. No other test,
+build or profiling workload runs alongside either protocol measurement.
+
+```sh
+NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=2048 timeout 300s bunx vitest run src/app/benchmark/leave-planner-benchmark.spec.ts --maxWorkers=1
+```
+
+All seven warm-ups, fourteen measured calculations, the typed-obligation precheck,
+fixtures, assertions and resource limits remain unchanged.
+
+| Measurement                                          |    Before |     After |
+| ---------------------------------------------------- | --------: | --------: |
+| Vitest duration                                      | 232.630 s | 228.130 s |
+| Benchmark test                                       | 231.483 s | 227.011 s |
+| Loaded year, mean of two measured calculations       |  59.255 s |  57.850 s |
+| Typed obligations, mean of two measured calculations |   4.552 s |   4.368 s |
+| Headroom before timeout (Vitest duration)            |  67.370 s |  71.870 s |
+
+The Vitest duration was 1.9% shorter in this pair. External wall time was not
+recorded for these runs. Both runs completed successfully, and every repeated
+scenario remained deterministic. The baseline is faster than the one recorded
+for the preceding optimization, so only same-session pairs are comparable.
+Live CI performance still needs confirmation.
+
+## Correctness checks
+
+Complete outcomes, stable explanations and final-state snapshots match the
+baseline for all seven scenarios. Baseline snapshots come from the preceding
+optimization's saved run, whose bundle matches a fresh build of `433a8b0` byte for
+byte; the loaded-year snapshot was also regenerated in this session. Diagnostic
+comparisons ran alongside functional checks, so their timings are not used for
+the protocol comparison.
+
+The functional coverage suite passes all 640 tests across 33 files. Two additional
+regression cases cover obligations and lower-priority preferences when a calendar
+objective competes for the same leave balance. Both cases pass before and after
+the optimization. Existing tests also exercise typed reassignments, complete
+multi-day patterns, earned entitlements and counterfactual explanations.
+Application and spec type checks, lint, source formatting and `git diff --check`
+pass.
+
+No browser timing run or live CI rerun was performed for this change.

+Diagnostic sources, profiles, bundles and full logs are retained in
+`/tmp/vac-opt278-step3`. The original core diagnostic runner is documented in

+# Bun Runtime and Native Tooling — Development Spec
+
+Status: the agreed decisions are amended by the verification results in #289,
+recorded below. ADR 0009 remains proposed until the migration passes its final
+gate.
+
+## Status
+
+Implementation status after #290 and the local parts of #293. "Verified locally"
+means a command ran with Node unavailable (or a tripwire `node` that logs every
+start); it is not a result from the live Gitea workflow.
+
+**Done, verified locally:**
+
+- **One pinned release.** Bun 1.4.3 is pinned by `packageManager`, the
+  checksum-verified `scripts/install-bun.sh` that every CI job running project
+  commands uses (no npm), the
+  `@types/bun` version and both Docker stages. The installer refuses a
+  `package.json` that names another version. Frozen installs leave `bun.lock`
+  unchanged.
+- **Node-shebang tools on Bun.** `bunfig.toml` sets `[run] bun = true`, so
+  `start`, `build`, `watch`, `lint`, `lint:fix`, `format` and `format:check` run
+  `ng`, `eslint` and `prettier` on Bun even when Node is on `PATH`. CI also runs
+  project steps with a `PATH` that has Bun and no Node.
+- **Standalone type checking.** `bun run typecheck` runs `bun check` on the
+  application and test projects. The production build remains the only check of
+  Angular templates.
+- **Tests, coverage, benchmark, server, container** (#291, #292), and the policy
+  and image-publisher scripts with their regression tests, under Bun. The fake
+  `docker` fixture uses a `bun` shebang.
+
+**Still open:**
+
+- **Native lint and format (#290, user story 5).** Replace ESLint and Prettier in
+  one change when a stable Bun ships `bun lint` and `bun fmt`; today they exist
+  only in canary builds. Until then user story 5 and the matching #290 criteria
+  stay open.
+- **Live Gitea validation (#293).** The custom job `shell` template, the Bun
+  installer, JavaScript actions beside Node-free project steps, the benchmark's
+  timing margin and the required checks on the final PR revision have not run on
+  the live runner. The `images` job still has Alpine's `nodejs` on `PATH` for the
+  checkout action, which the project command does not use. These and the Gitea
+  activation steps remain unverified until a live pull-request run.
+- **ADR 0009** stays `proposed` until the final gate.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The maintainer wants VacOptimizer to use Bun as its actual JavaScript runtime and
+adopt its native tooling wherever agreed, even without measurable performance
+gains. Today Bun installs dependencies, generates the language registry, and runs
+the deployed server, but development commands can launch Node-based CLIs, CI uses
+Node containers, and the Docker build explicitly installs Node.
+
+The toolchain is also inconsistent: the local Bun installation is 1.3.14, CI pins
+1.4.2, and Docker uses a floating Bun image. Merely prefixing commands with Bun
+does not establish which runtime executes their JavaScript.
+
+## Solution
+
+Use Bun for project-owned JavaScript in development, CI, and production. Adopt
+Bun's native test runner, linter, formatter, standalone type checker, and HTTP
+server. Retain Angular and its standard compiler and build pipeline, running the
+JavaScript tooling under Bun.
+
+Preserve the application's existing behavior and verification standards. The
+planner remains client-side: planning horizons, planning rules, leave placements,
+planning outcomes, plan statistics, and plan explanations retain their current
+meaning. Browser code and Web Workers continue to run in the user's browser.
+
+## User Stories
+
+The following acceptance criteria define completion:
+
+1. **Actual Bun execution.** Development serving and watch mode, production
+   builds, language generation, repository CI scripts, tests, and the production
+   server execute their project-owned JavaScript under Bun, including spawned
+   tools and test fixtures. A Node.js fallback does not satisfy this criterion.
+2. **Reproducible setup.** Development instructions, CI, and both Docker stages
+   specify the same exact, verified Bun version. Frozen dependency installation
+   succeeds from a clean checkout without changing the lockfile, and the
+   production image installs only production dependencies.
+3. **Native tests with preserved behavior.** All existing functional and Angular
+   component tests execute under `bun test`, preserving assertions, parameterized
+   cases, clock control, global mocks, cleanup, isolation, and real worker
+   integration. Tests cannot be dropped or weakened to make the migration pass.
+4. **Preserved coverage.** Functional tests retain coverage reporting and CI
+   artifacts, including useful output when tests fail. Preserve the current
+   production-code coverage scope and exclusion of the frozen engine baseline;
+   report unsupported coverage capabilities or report formats as compatibility
+   gaps rather than silently removing them.
+5. **Native linting and formatting.** Bun's native linter and formatter replace
+   ESLint and Prettier, preserving the current rule severities, type-aware checks,
+   unused-name exceptions, formatting options, and Angular-template formatting.
+   CI continues to reject violations. Checks cover the same application,
+   repository-script, and workflow content as before.
+6. **Type checking alongside Angular.** `bun check` checks application and test
+   TypeScript. Angular's compiler retains its supported TypeScript 6 dependency
+   and continues to check templates during builds. Type errors still fail the
+   appropriate checks; successful standalone checking does not replace a
+   successful Angular build.
+7. **Native HTTP serving.** `Bun.serve` replaces Express, preserving Angular's
+   request-handler integration, configured rendering modes, static assets and
+   cache behavior, configurable port, error handling, and container health check.
+   Development and production routes continue to work, including direct visits
+   to the benchmark page. The current catch-all route uses client rendering;
+   this migration does not enable server rendering for that route.
+8. **Existing CI guarantees.** Policy and image-publication regression checks,
+   security scans, production builds, artifact retention, and required checks
+   continue to work. The separate required seven-scenario benchmark preserves
+   its calibration protocol, warm-up, measured repetitions, determinism checks,
+   timeouts, and performance budgets. A runtime change cannot justify weakening
+   these gates.
+9. **Honest completion.** Fix incompatible required tooling before declaring the
+   migration complete. If a fix proves infeasible, report the failing behavior,
+   evidence, and remaining blocker. Local success must be distinguished from
+   successful live Gitea checks.
+
+## Implementation Decisions
+
+- **Agreed: runtime and native tools.** Bun adoption is a requirement independent
+  of speed gains. Use its native test runner, linter, formatter, standalone type
+  checker, and HTTP server. Compatible Node API imports may remain when executed
+  by Bun; rewriting every import is not required to satisfy the runtime goal.
+- **Agreed: Angular boundary.** Keep Angular's standard compiler, bundler,
+  development server, and framework build support. Preserve the existing
+  rendering configuration and browser-based planner, consistent with ADR 0002.
+- **Agreed: TypeScript coexistence.** Keep TypeScript 6 for Angular compilation
+  and use Bun's TypeScript 7-based checker for standalone checking. An Angular
+  upgrade is not required for this arrangement.
+- **Agreed: tests and server integration.** Adapt the Angular test compilation
+  and setup, mocks, DOM environment, worker harnesses, and subprocess fixtures to
+  the chosen runtime and runner. Use Angular's web request API with Bun's HTTP
+  server, preserving its development/build handler contract and static-file
+  protections.
+- **Migration reach.** Update package commands, test configuration and typings,
+  generated executable fixtures, server entry and exports, container build and
+  runtime stages, project-owned CI invocations, and development documentation.
+  Remove superseded dependencies and configuration after checking their callers.
+- **Proposed implementation order.** Verify the Bun release, an Angular
+  production build, representative Angular component tests, and native
+  lint/format/type checks first. Extend that verified setup to the full suite,
+  server, containers, and CI before removing the replaced tools.
+- **Proposed version.** Bun 1.4.3 is the initial candidate based on the researched
+  native-tool documentation. Select the exact version only after verifying the
+  required capabilities together.
+
+## Verification Results and Decisions (#289)
+
+Probes ran on 2026-10-17 against the stable Bun `1.4.3` release (`1.4.3+c6da4a4d3`)
+from a clean checkout. "Node unavailable" means a `PATH` holding only a `bun`
+executable plus `/usr/bin:/bin`, with `command -v node` failing.
+
+**Verified:**
+
+- **Install.** `bun install --frozen-lockfile` succeeds and leaves `bun.lock`
+  unchanged.
+- **Runtime.** Package binaries with a `#!/usr/bin/env node` shebang (`ng`,
+  `eslint`, `prettier`, `tsc`) run on Bun only with `--bun`. Without it they use
+  Node when Node is on `PATH`, so every such command must pass `--bun`
+  explicitly. #290 sets it once for every `bun run` script with `[run] bun = true`
+  in `bunfig.toml`. Spawned build children are native executables (esbuild,
+  dart-sass); Angular's workers are threads of the Bun process.
+- **Development server.** `bun --bun x ng serve` serves the application and
+  direct navigation to `/benchmark` with Node unavailable.
+- **Type checking.** `bun check -p tsconfig.app.json` and
+  `-p tsconfig.spec.json` match `tsc` 6 on the clean tree and catch injected
+  application and test type errors. Only the Angular build catches template
+  errors, as expected.
+- **Tests.** `bun test` runs the whole functional suite with a preload that
+  compiles components through Angular's JIT transform with inlined templates,
+  sets up jsdom, TestBed and zoneless change detection, plus a small shim for
+  the Vitest APIs Bun lacks (`stubGlobal`, `unstubAllGlobals`, `waitFor`,
+  `advanceTimersByTimeAsync`, `expect.poll`, `toHaveBeenCalledExactlyOnceWith`,
+  `setSystemTime` ordering and Date-only fake timers). Real-worker specs work
+  with Node unavailable. `--isolate` or `--parallel` is required for per-file
+  isolation. No spec uses snapshots.
+- **Server.** `Bun.serve` passes route, asset, cache-header, missing-file and
+  path-traversal checks.
+- **CI scripts.** The policy regression script passes under Bun. The image
+  regression script needs its fake `docker` shebang changed from `node` to
+  `bun`.
+
+**Decisions taken after the probes:**
+
+- **Linter and formatter.** Native `bun lint` and `bun fmt` exist only in canary
+  builds (`1.4.4-canary.1`), not in stable `1.4.3`. Pin stable `1.4.3`
+  everywhere and keep ESLint and Prettier, executed by Bun, until a stable
+  release ships them. Then replace them in one change. Until then, user story 5
+  stays open.
+- **Client-only Angular build and a Bun static server.** Angular's production
+  build fails under Bun whenever a server or SSR entry is configured: route
+  extraction loads the server bundle through Node `module.register` loader
+  hooks, which Bun accepts but never applies. Every route is client-rendered
+  today, so the Angular build drops its server and SSR entries and a small
+  `Bun.serve` server delivers static assets with the same cache behavior and
+  falls back to `index.html`. This replaces the agreed Angular web request
+  handler integration and gives up `@angular/ssr`. Adding server rendering later
+  requires revisiting this decision.
+- **Coverage.** `bun test` reports text and lcov with line data only. HTML and
+  Cobertura reports are generated from the lcov with the istanbul report
+  libraries. Branch and function coverage are no longer reported; this
+  reduction is accepted.
+- **Benchmark memory guard.** JavaScriptCore has no `--max-old-space-size`
+  equivalent. The CI benchmark job enforces the limit with a container memory
+  limit instead of a heap-only cap.
+
+**Platform constraints, not project commands:**
+
+- **Gitea actions.** `actions/checkout@v4` (`node20`) and
+  `actions/upload-artifact@v3` (`node16`) are JavaScript actions, so the job
+  container must still provide `node` for the runner. Project commands must not
+  use it.
+- **Allowed hosts.** Found while probing: the current Express server answers 400
+  unless `NG_ALLOWED_HOSTS` is set, and the compose files only set `PORT`. The
+  static Bun server removes this dependency.
+
+## Testing Decisions
+
+- Test observable behavior and failure outcomes, rather than configuration text
+  or internal adapter shapes. Reuse the existing behavior-level tests and change
+  harnesses only where the runtime or runner requires it.
+- **Runtime and installation:** exercise clean frozen installs, development and
+  production commands, and project-owned subprocesses with Node unavailable to
+  those commands. Verify actual execution by Bun, rather than relying on a
+  command's name. Keep any CI-platform Node requirement separate from this check.
+- **Angular and planning:** use the existing TestBed-based component and service
+  suites as prior art for compilation and DOM behavior. Retain the planning
+  integration, property-based, migration, date-sensitive, and cancellation tests
+  to check planning outcomes, saved inputs, and plan explanations.
+- **Workers and subprocesses:** preserve the existing real-worker tests for
+  submitted-configuration isolation, outcome and explanation delivery, and worker
+  cleanup. Run policy and publisher regression scripts with Bun, keeping their
+  temporary Git repositories and fake Docker executable so verification remains
+  independent of real registry writes.
+- **Lint, format, and types:** compare the current checks with the native tools.
+  Use small representative invalid inputs to establish that unused variables,
+  deprecated APIs, formatting violations, application/test type errors, and
+  Angular template errors still fail the intended command. Verify formatting
+  options and representative Angular templates without an unrelated reformat.
+- **HTTP and containers:** add focused HTTP behavior checks around the native
+  server, since the explored test suite provides no equivalent server coverage.
+  Exercise configured routes, direct navigation, static JavaScript/CSS assets,
+  cache and content-type headers, missing assets, error responses, and traversal
+  protection. Smoke-test the production container and its health check.
+- **Coverage and benchmark:** verify functional coverage artifacts, including
+  failure-path uploads, and run the existing benchmark outside coverage. Keep the
+  frozen-engine calibration and current budget assertions. Record Bun results as
+  new measurements rather than claiming browser or phone speedups from them.
+- **CI:** use the existing policy/publisher regression scenarios as prior art for
+  push, pull-request, fork, manual, and release-event behavior. Obtain successful
+  required checks on the final PR revision; live publication and activation
+  validation remain subject to the repository's existing Gitea process.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Replacing Angular's build pipeline with Bun's bundler, rewriting the framework,
+  or bypassing Angular's TypeScript support checks.
+- Moving leave planning to the server, changing planning rules or objectives,
+  altering saved data, or adding accounts, synchronization, or backend services.
+- Changing configured rendering modes or treating Bun as the browser runtime.
+- Dropping tests, weakening lint rules or benchmark budgets, or silently using
+  Node to complete otherwise incompatible project commands.
+- Replacing security scanners, changing registry publication policy, provisioning
+  CI credentials, modifying branch protections or activation settings, creating
+  releases, publishing this spec, or deploying the application.
+- Rewriting compatible Node API imports solely because their names mention Node.
+
+## Further Notes
+
+This spec records the decisions made in the interview. The architecture record
+remains proposed; the Status section lists what is implemented.
+The glossary receives no new terms because the choices concern general tooling,
+rather than new leave-planning concepts.
+
+Remaining verification (everything else is recorded as verified under Status):
+
+- Native lint and format wait for a stable Bun release that ships `bun lint` and
+  `bun fmt` (#290).
+- Live Gitea validation (#293): the custom job `shell` template, the Bun download
+  in each job, the `images` job with publisher credentials, and the benchmark's
+  timing margin on the runners.
+- The `images` job keeps Alpine's `nodejs` on `PATH` because the checkout action
+  needs it (a runner requirement); project commands do not use it and no Node
+  fallback for them is agreed.
+- `src/test-setup.ts` imports Analog's internal `jitTransform` by path; replace it
+  when Angular or Analog exports a JIT transform.

+## Bun toolchain and Node
+
+Project commands run on Bun 1.4.3 only. `package.json` (`packageManager`),
+`@types/bun`, both Docker stages and `scripts/install-bun.sh` carry the same
+version. To upgrade, change all of them together and replace the installer's
+four SHA-256 values with those of the new release's `SHASUMS256.txt`; the
+installer refuses a `package.json` that names a different version, so a bump of
+only one place fails CI instead of drifting.
+
+- **Install.** `policy`, `validate`, `test`, `benchmark`, `build` and `images`
+  run `sh scripts/install-bun.sh`. It downloads the release zip for the
+  runner's architecture (x64 or aarch64) and libc (glibc, or musl on Alpine),
+  verifies its pinned SHA-256, and installs `/opt/bun/bin/bun`. It uses no npm.
+- **Node-free project steps.** The five Debian jobs set
+  `defaults.run.shell: env PATH=/opt/bun/bin:/usr/bin:/bin bash -e {0}`. Every
+  `run:` step then sees Bun but not `/usr/local/bin`, where the `node` image keeps
+  `node`, `npm` and `yarn`. `bun run` additionally runs Node-shebang tools on Bun
+  through `bunfig.toml`. The security scanners are not project JavaScript, so
+  `security` has no Bun and no custom shell.
+- **Why the containers keep Node.** `actions/checkout@v4` (`node20`) and
+  `actions/upload-artifact@v3` (`node16`) are JavaScript actions. The runner
+  starts them with the container's `node`; the custom shell does not affect
+  `uses:` steps. This is a platform requirement, not permission to run project
+  commands on Node.
+- **`images` exception.** Alpine's `nodejs` package installs `node` into
+  `/usr/bin`, beside `git`, and checkout's post step needs it, so `PATH` cannot
+  hide it there. The project command is `/opt/bun/bin/bun scripts/ci-image.mjs`;
+  it starts only `process.execPath`, `docker` and `git`. Hiding Node there needs
+  an infrastructure decision (for example a runner image that ships Node outside
+  `PATH`), which this conversion does not make.
+- **Needs live validation.** The custom shell template is a GitHub Actions
+  feature that Gitea's runner implements. A local run of the real engine
+  (`gitea-runner exec` v5.1.0, with the job containers above) executed it, but
+  only a live Gitea run confirms the instance's runner version, the checkout
+  action and the privileged Docker-in-Docker `images` job.

 The public cancellation tests cover immediate cancellation, a stable partial outcome despite late completion or artifact error, distinct worker failure and replacement (including non-browser explanation metadata), and cancellation after settlement. Core regressions verify retained validity, provenance, earned chronology and the best available partial plan through the existing checkpoint seam. The CalendarYear tests cover keyboard activation, translated statuses with and without an incumbent, focus, no implicit recalculation, explicit recalculation, and obsolete explanation delivery.
 
-The real-worker suite bundles the production worker source with Bun and runs it on a separate Node worker thread. Its small host adapter maps browser worker messages to the thread's message port; the planner, CPU work, cancellation handling, and outcome and explanation delivery protocol are real. It checks interruption after preparation has started, before the first obligation solution, during active obligation CPU work after a solution exists, and after a completed checkpoint. It also compares an uncancelled outcome with the synchronous adapter's deterministic result. These checks complement the controlled worker boundary tests.

 For a browser check, serve the production browser build and use native Chromium Web Workers with a saved annual horizon. Check cancellation during calendar preparation, a broad obligation search, and a quality pass. Confirm one planning request per Calculate, no new request on Cancel, the appropriate translated status, joint rule satisfaction and balance accounting for an incumbent, and stable explanation delivery after the outcome. Also check the Cancel control with the keyboard, at 375px width, and in light and dark themes.
