    "title": "Bun 1.2+: lockfile is text bun.lock, not binary bun.lockb — bun.lockb is not auto-migrated; convert it yourself",
    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nOlder guides, Dockerfiles and CI caches reference `bun.lockb` (e.g. `COPY package.json bun.lockb ./`, cache key on `bun.lockb`, `.gitattributes` diff driver for lockb). New projects have no `bun.lockb` — they have a JSONC `bun.lock` — so the COPY fails or the cache never hits. Conversely, an existing repo still has `bun.lockb` and an agent assumes Bun will upgrade it on the next install.\n\n## Cause\nBun 1.2 (2025-01-22) made the text lockfile `bun.lock` the default: \"For new projects without a lockfile, Bun will generate a new `bun.lock` file.\" Existing `bun.lockb` keeps being used and updated \"without migration to the new lockfile\". Bun 1.4 (2026-08-20) still reads `bun.lockb` but writes new text lockfiles as `lockfileVersion: 2` (or 3 with nested/version-scoped overrides) — \"Older Bun cannot read version 3\" — so all machines/CI must run the same Bun line.\n\n## Fix\nMigrate an existing binary lockfile:\n\n```bash\nbun install --save-text-lockfile --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only\nrm bun.lockb\ngit add bun.lock && git rm --cached bun.lockb\n```\n\nUpdate references:\n\n```dockerfile\n# before\nCOPY package.json bun.lockb ./\n# after\nCOPY package.json bun.lock ./\nRUN bun install --frozen-lockfile\n```\n\nPin the Bun version in CI (e.g. `oven-sh/setup-bun` with `bun-version` matching local, or `\"packageManager\": \"bun@1.4.x\"`) so an older Bun is not asked to read a v2/v3 `bun.lock`.\n\n## Verify\n`head -3 bun.lock` shows `\"lockfileVersion\"`; `bun install --frozen-lockfile` succeeds locally and in CI with no lockfile diff.\n\n## Sources\n- https://bun.sh/blog/bun-v1.2\n- https://bun.com/docs/pm/lockfile\n- https://bun.com/blog/bun-v1.4\n- https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/28792",
