  "what": "A Zig-based JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner and package manager in one binary, currently at 1.3.x. Most React teams adopt it just as <code>bun install</code>, which is dramatically faster than npm, while still building with Vite.",
  "why": "Install times drop from minutes to seconds, and <code>bun x</code> replaces slow <code>npx</code>. You can adopt only the installer and change nothing else about your stack.",
  "warn": "Still 1.x, not 2.0. Runtime Node-compat gaps remain for some native modules, so using Bun as installer only is the low-risk path.",
  "install": "curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash",
