-# Research Report: CLI Frameworks and Libraries for Bun Runtime
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-This research explores the best CLI frameworks and libraries for building command-line applications with Bun as the runtime. After comprehensive analysis of multiple sources, the key findings indicate that **CAC** or **Commander.js** are the most suitable CLI parsing frameworks, **prompts** or **@clack/prompts** are ideal for interactive prompts, and **ora** or **cli-progress** work well for progress indicators. All major Node.js CLI libraries are compatible with Bun due to its strong Node.js API compatibility.
-
-**Key Recommendations:**
-- **CLI Parsing**: Use CAC for lightweight TypeScript projects or Commander.js for mature, feature-rich applications
-- **Interactive Prompts**: Choose prompts for simplicity or @clack/prompts for modern, beautiful UIs
-- **Progress Indicators**: Use ora for spinners or cli-progress for progress bars
-- **Distribution**: Leverage Bun's native compilation (`bun build --compile`) for standalone executables or npm publish for registry distribution
-
-## Research Methodology

-```
-
-**Entry Point Setup:**
-```typescript
-#!/usr/bin/env bun
-// index.ts - CLI entry point
-
-import { cac } from 'cac'
-import { version } from '../package.json'
-
-const cli = cac('my-cli')
-
-cli
-  .command('download <url>', 'Download a file')

-  .action(async (url, options) => {
-    // Implementation
-  })
-
-cli.help()
-cli.version(version)
-cli.parse()
-```
-
-**Package.json Configuration:**
-```json
-{
-  "name": "my-cli",
-  "version": "1.0.0",
-  "type": "module",
-  "bin": {
-    "my-cli": "./src/index.ts"
-  },
-  "scripts": {
-    "dev": "bun run src/index.ts",
-    "build": "bun build --compile --minify --sourcemap src/index.ts --outfile my-cli",
-    "publish": "bun publish"
-  },
-  "dependencies": {
-    "cac": "^6.7.14",
-    "prompts": "^2.4.2",
-    "ora": "^9.0.0"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**TypeScript Configuration:**
-```json
-{
-  "compilerOptions": {
-    "target": "ESNext",
-    "module": "ESNext",
-    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
-    "lib": ["ESNext"],
-    "types": ["bun-types"],
-    "strict": true,
-    "esModuleInterop": true,
-    "skipLibCheck": true,
-    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
-    "resolveJsonModule": true,
-    "jsx": "react",
-    "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
-    "noEmit": true
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### Development Workflow
-
-1. **Initialize Project:**
-   ```bash
-   bun init -y
-   bun add cac prompts ora
-   bun add -d @types/prompts
-   ```
-
-2. **Add Shebang:**
-   Always include `#!/usr/bin/env bun` at the top of your entry file
-
-3. **Global Installation for Testing:**
-   ```bash
-   bun link
-   # Then test with:
-   my-cli --help
-   ```
-
-4. **Build for Distribution:**
-   ```bash
-   # Standalone executable
-   bun build --compile --minify --sourcemap src/index.ts --outfile my-cli
-
-   # Cross-platform builds
-   bun build --compile src/index.ts --target=bun-windows-x64 --outfile my-cli.exe
-   bun build --compile src/index.ts --target=bun-linux-x64 --outfile my-cli
-   bun build --compile src/index.ts --target=bun-darwin-arm64 --outfile my-cli
-   ```
-
-### 4. Security Considerations
-
-**Input Validation:**
-- Always validate user inputs, especially file paths and URLs
-- Use schema validation libraries like Zod for complex inputs
-- Sanitize inputs before using in shell commands
-
-**Dependency Security:**
-- Keep dependencies updated regularly
-- Use `bun audit` to check for vulnerabilities
-- Minimize dependency count (CAC and prompts have zero dependencies)
-
-**File Operations:**
-- Validate file paths to prevent directory traversal
-- Check file permissions before read/write operations
-- Handle errors gracefully with try-catch blocks
-
-**Network Operations:**
-- Validate URLs before fetching
-- Implement timeout mechanisms
-- Handle SSL/TLS certificate validation properly
-
-**Example Secure Input Validation:**
-```typescript
-import prompts from 'prompts'
-import { z } from 'zod'
-
-const urlSchema = z.string().url()
-
-const response = await prompts({
-  type: 'text',
-  name: 'url',
-  message: 'Enter URL:',
-  validate: (value) => {
-    const result = urlSchema.safeParse(value)
-    return result.success ? true : 'Invalid URL format'
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### 5. Performance Insights
-
-**Bun Runtime Performance:**
-- File I/O is 2x faster than GNU `cat` for large files on Linux
-- Package installation is 80x faster than npm
-- Direct TypeScript execution without transpilation overhead
-- Optimized system calls for file operations
-
-**CLI Framework Performance:**
-
-**Argument Parsing:**
-- CAC: Lightweight with minimal overhead, zero dependencies
-- Commander: Well-optimized, suitable for quick parsing
-- Yargs: Slightly more overhead due to extensive features
-
-**Progress Indicators:**
-- Ora: Lightweight, excellent for simple spinners
-- cli-progress: Efficient for progress bars, supports single and multi-bar
-- Picocolors: Fastest for single-color styling (vs Chalk)
-
-**Best Practices for Performance:**
-1. Use Bun's native APIs (Bun.write, Bun.file) instead of Node.js fs module
-2. Stream large files instead of loading into memory
-3. Use `FileSink` for incremental writes
-4. Minimize dependencies to reduce bundle size
-5. Leverage Bun's optimized fetch implementation
-
-**Download with Progress Example:**
-```typescript
-import ora from 'ora'
-
-async function downloadWithProgress(url: string, outputPath: string) {
-  const spinner = ora('Starting download...').start()
-
-  try {
-    const response = await fetch(url)
-    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`)
-
-    const totalSize = parseInt(response.headers.get('content-length') || '0')
-    let downloadedSize = 0
-
-    const reader = response.body?.getReader()
-    const writer = Bun.file(outputPath).writer()
-
-    while (true) {
-      const { done, value } = await reader!.read()
-      if (done) break
-
-      writer.write(value)
-      downloadedSize += value.length
-
-      const percent = ((downloadedSize / totalSize) * 100).toFixed(1)
-      spinner.text = `Downloading... ${percent}% (${downloadedSize}/${totalSize} bytes)`
-    }
-
-    await writer.end()
-    spinner.succeed('Download complete!')
-  } catch (error) {
-    spinner.fail('Download failed')
-    throw error
-  }
-}
-```

-
-### Common Pitfalls
-
-#### 1. **Shebang Issues**
-❌ **Wrong:**
-```typescript
-// Missing shebang
-import { cac } from 'cac'
-```
-
-✅ **Correct:**
-```typescript
-#!/usr/bin/env bun
-import { cac } from 'cac'
-```
-
-#### 2. **Not Handling Errors in Actions**
-❌ **Wrong:**
-```typescript
-cli
-  .command('download <url>')
-  .action(async (url) => {
-    const response = await fetch(url) // Can throw
-    await Bun.write('file', response)
-  })
-```
-
-✅ **Correct:**
-```typescript
-cli
-  .command('download <url>')
-  .action(async (url) => {
-    try {
-      const response = await fetch(url)
-      if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`)
-      await Bun.write('file', response)
-    } catch (error) {
-      console.error('Download failed:', error)
-      process.exit(1)
-    }
-  })
-```
-
-#### 3. **Not Validating User Input**
-❌ **Wrong:**
-```typescript
-const response = await prompts({
-  type: 'text',
-  name: 'path',
-  message: 'Enter path:'
-})
-// Directly using response.path without validation
-await Bun.write(response.path, data)
-```
-
-✅ **Correct:**
-```typescript
-const response = await prompts({
-  type: 'text',
-  name: 'path',
-  message: 'Enter path:',
-  validate: (value) => {
-    if (!value || value.trim() === '') return 'Path cannot be empty'
-    if (value.includes('..')) return 'Invalid path'
-    return true
-  }
-})
-```
-
-#### 4. **Memory Issues with Large Files**
-❌ **Wrong:**
-```typescript
-// Loading entire file into memory
-const response = await fetch(url)
-const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer()
-await Bun.write(outputPath, buffer)
-```
-
-✅ **Correct:**
-```typescript
-// Streaming to avoid memory issues
-const response = await fetch(url)
-const reader = response.body?.getReader()
-const writer = Bun.file(outputPath).writer()
-
-while (true) {
-  const { done, value } = await reader!.read()
-  if (done) break
-  writer.write(value)
-}
-await writer.end()
-```
-
-#### 5. **Incorrect Package.json bin Configuration**
-❌ **Wrong:**
-```json
-{
-  "bin": "./src/index.ts" // String instead of object
-}
-```
-
-✅ **Correct:**
-```json
-{
-  "bin": {
-    "my-cli": "./src/index.ts"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### 6. **Not Respecting Process Exit Codes**
-❌ **Wrong:**
-```typescript
-cli.action(async () => {
-  try {
-    await someOperation()
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Failed')
-    // No exit code
-  }
-})
-```
-
-✅ **Correct:**
-```typescript
-cli.action(async () => {
-  try {
-    await someOperation()
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Failed:', error)
-    process.exit(1) // Non-zero exit code for errors
-  }
-})
-```
-
-#### 7. **Spinner/Progress Bar Not Stopped**
-❌ **Wrong:**
-```typescript
-const spinner = ora('Loading').start()
-await fetch(url) // If this throws, spinner keeps running
-```
-
-✅ **Correct:**
-```typescript
-const spinner = ora('Loading').start()
-try {
-  await fetch(url)
-  spinner.succeed('Done')
-} catch (error) {
-  spinner.fail('Failed')
-  throw error
-} finally {
-  spinner.stop() // Ensure it stops
-}
-```
