+# BUN-001: Bun PTY Migration
+
+**Version:** v0.18.5  
+**Status:** Planned  
+**Author:** Nax Dev  
+**Date:** 2026-03-04
+
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+nax uses `node-pty` (a native C++ addon) to spawn interactive Claude Code sessions and drive the TUI. This creates several pain points:
+
+| Pain Point | Impact |
+|:---|:---|
+| Requires `python`, `make`, `g++` at build time | CI `before_script` must `apk add python3 make g++`; `--ignore-scripts` is a fragile workaround |
+| Native build fails on Alpine if workaround is removed | Blocks moving to 1GB runners (CI-001) |
+| Not Bun-native — `require("node-pty")` uses CJS | Inconsistent with Bun-first codebase |
+| No type safety without `@types/node-pty` | Interface `IPty` lives in node-pty types |
+
+---
+
+## Solution
+
+Replace `node-pty` with **`Bun.spawn`** configured with `stdin: "pipe"` and `stdout: "pipe"` for interactive mode, OR `Bun.Terminal` API if it provides PTY semantics in Bun 1.3.7+.
+
+### Research Gate (first task)
+
+Before writing any code, verify Bun PTY support:
+
+```bash
+# Check if Bun.Terminal exists
+bun -e "console.log(typeof Bun.Terminal)"
+
+# Check for any PTY-related Bun APIs
+bun -e "console.log(Object.keys(Bun).filter(k => k.toLowerCase().includes('pty') || k.toLowerCase().includes('term')))"
+```
+
+**If `Bun.Terminal` is available:** Use it directly for full PTY semantics.  
+**If not available:** Use `Bun.spawn` with piped stdio. Claude Code works headlessly — no raw TTY required for nax's use case.
+
+---
+
+## Scope
+
+### Files to change
+
+| File | Change |
+|:---|:---|
+| `src/agents/claude.ts` | `runInteractive()` — replace `nodePty.spawn()` with Bun equivalent |
+| `src/agents/types.ts` | `PtyHandle` interface — remove dependency on `IPty` |
+| `src/tui/hooks/usePty.ts` | Replace `nodePty.spawn()` + `pty.IPty` state with Bun equivalent |
+| `package.json` | Remove `node-pty` from `dependencies` |
+| `.gitlab-ci.yml` | Remove `--ignore-scripts` from both `bun install` calls |
+| `.gitlab-ci.yml` | Remove `python3 make g++` from `apk add` in `before_script` |
+
+### Files NOT to change
+
+- `src/agents/adapters/` — use `runInteractive()` via interface only
+- `src/pipeline/` — no pty usage
+- Test files — `_deps` pattern already covers mocking
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1 — Research
+
+1. Run research gate on Mac01 (Bun 1.3.9) to confirm `Bun.Terminal` availability
+2. Test `claude -p "hello"` with `Bun.spawn` piped stdio to confirm headless operation
+3. Determine if `resize()` is actually called during nax runs (check execution logs)
+
+### Phase 2 — `src/agents/claude.ts`
+
+Replace `runInteractive()`:
+
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (node-pty)
+const ptyProc = nodePty.spawn(cmd[0], cmd.slice(1), {
+  name: "xterm-256color", cols: 80, rows: 24,
+  cwd: options.workdir, env: this.buildAllowedEnv(options),
+});
+ptyProc.onData((data) => options.onOutput(Buffer.from(data)));
+ptyProc.onExit((e) => options.onExit(e.exitCode));
+
+// AFTER (Bun.spawn)
+const proc = Bun.spawn(cmd, {
+  cwd: options.workdir,
+  env: { ...this.buildAllowedEnv(options), TERM: "xterm-256color" },
+  stdin: "pipe", stdout: "pipe", stderr: "pipe",
+});
+// Stream stdout chunks to onOutput
+(async () => {
+  for await (const chunk of proc.stdout) {
+    options.onOutput(Buffer.from(chunk));
+  }
+})();
+proc.exited.then((code) => options.onExit(code ?? 1));
+```
+
+New `PtyHandle` mapping:
+
+| `IPty` API | Bun equivalent |
+|:---|:---|
+| `ptyProc.write(data)` | `proc.stdin.write(data)` |
+| `ptyProc.kill()` | `proc.kill()` |
+| `ptyProc.pid` | `proc.pid` |
+| `ptyProc.resize(c, r)` | no-op (or `Bun.Terminal.resize()` if available) |
+
+### Phase 3 — `src/tui/hooks/usePty.ts`
+
+Replace `pty.IPty` state with `Bun.Subprocess`:
+
+```typescript
+// Remove:
+import type * as pty from "node-pty";
+const [ptyProcess, setPtyProcess] = useState<pty.IPty | null>(null);
+
+// Replace with:
+const [proc, setProc] = useState<ReturnType<typeof Bun.spawn> | null>(null);
+```
+
+All `ptyProc.*` calls map directly to Bun subprocess equivalents.
+
+### Phase 4 — CI cleanup
+
+```yaml
+# before_script: remove python3 make g++
+- apk add --no-cache git
+
+# bun install: remove --ignore-scripts
+- bun install --frozen-lockfile
+```
+
+### Phase 5 — package.json
+
+Remove `"node-pty": "^1.1.0"` from `dependencies`.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+| # | Criteria |
+|:---|:---|
+| AC1 | `node-pty` removed — `bun install` completes without native build |
+| AC2 | `bun run typecheck` passes — no `IPty` or `node-pty` references |
+| AC3 | CI `before_script` no longer installs `python3 make g++` |
+| AC4 | CI `bun install` runs without `--ignore-scripts` |
+| AC5 | `runInteractive()` spawns Claude Code via `Bun.spawn` — sessions complete |
+| AC6 | `usePty` hook — output streams and lifecycle work correctly |
+| AC7 | All existing tests pass (2126 pass, 0 fail) |
+| AC8 | `nax run` works end-to-end on Mac01 with a real story |
+
+---
+
+## Risks
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|:---|:---|
+| `Bun.Terminal` not available/stable in 1.3.9 | Fall back to `Bun.spawn` pipe mode (test first) |
+| Claude Code requires a real PTY | Test `claude -p "hello"` piped before committing |
+| TUI rendering degrades without PTY | Acceptable — TUI is rarely used in headless nax runs |
+| `resize()` breaks | nax doesn't actively call resize during agent sessions; safe no-op |
+
+---
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- `Bun.Terminal` advanced features (if not stable)
+- CI-001 memory sharding (separate item)
+- Windows PTY support
