This is a first iteration of the Rust CLI to replace the in-app server.ts generator.

Replace Yarn with Bun as the package manager across the workspace.
Update all scripts to use bun commands and replace lock files.
Implement a high-performance Rust CLI that parses TypeScript router
files and generates tRPC AppRouter types. Includes:

- Parser for @router, @query, @mutation decorators using swc
- Zod schema extraction and flattening
- Import resolution with barrel file support
- TypeScript/JavaScript config file support (nestjs-trpc.config.ts)
- Watch mode with file system events
- JS bin wrapper for npm distribution
- Migrate github actions workflow to use bun
- Add rust cli verification job (fmt, clippy, test, build)
- Update husky hooks to use bun
- Add bun installation instructions to READMEs
- Add claude code instructions
Include a standard header comment in generated schema files to indicate
they are auto-generated and should not be manually edited.
Remove TypeScript generators and move all schema generation to the
Rust CLI. TRPCModule now handles runtime-only configuration while
the CLI handles build-time generation with auto-discovery.

Changes:
- Deleted lib/generators/ directory entirely
- Removed autoSchemaFile from TRPCModuleOptions
- Added auto-discovery of TRPCModule from package.json
- CLI defaults to ./@generated output
- Changed --module flag to --entrypoint
- Added parsers for module, context, and middleware metadata

Breaking changes:
- autoSchemaFile option removed from TRPCModule.forRoot()
- Users must run 'npx nestjs-trpc generate' to generate schemas
- No automatic generation on app startup

Request Review

Flatten deeply nested code using let-else guards, helper function
extraction, and early returns. Maximum nesting reduced to 2 levels
following the never-nester principle.

Files refactored:
- config.rs: extract_default_export, parse_config_object
- procedure.rs: extract_procedures_from_class
- flatten.rs: flatten_call
- router.rs: extract_router_from_item, extract_from_call_expr
- middleware.rs: extract_from_module_item
- context.rs: extract_from_module_item
- decorator.rs: extract_from_call_expr, extract_arguments_from_object
Update gitignore to include @generated output directory.
Remove config file and update middleware/service test data.
Remove CLI changelog and todo files that are no longer needed.
Remove deprecated config directory with TypeScript config helpers.

Complete Rust CLI migration for nestjs-trpc with tRPC v11 support
Mode: yolo
Depth: comprehensive
Parallelization: enabled
Files:
- STACK.md (Rust CLI stack: SWC, clap, notify, error handling)
- FEATURES.md (Table stakes vs differentiators for CLI tools)
- ARCHITECTURE.md (Hexagonal architecture, file organization)
- PITFALLS.md (14 pitfalls from unwrap bombs to module resolution)
- SUMMARY.md (Executive summary with 6-phase roadmap implications)

Key findings:
- Stack: SWC + thiserror/anyhow/miette for production quality
- Architecture: 11 files exceed 300-line limit, need refactoring
- Critical pitfall: 249 unwrap/expect calls must be replaced

50 requirements across 5 categories
- Error handling: 7 requirements
- CLI features: 8 requirements
- Code quality: 10 requirements
- Compatibility: 11 requirements
- Architecture: 8 requirements
- Testing infrastructure: 6 requirements

Advanced features deferred to v2
Phases:
1. Foundation: Error handling + testing infrastructure (10 requirements)
2. Code Organization: Refactor 11 large files <300 lines (10 requirements)
3. Watch Mode: Auto-regeneration with notify crate (6 requirements)
4. Migration Compatibility: tRPC v11 + TypeScript parity (7 requirements)
5. Advanced Features: CLI polish + validation (5 requirements)
6. Production Ready: Integration tests + docs (6 requirements)

All 50 v1 requirements mapped to phases.
Phase 1: Foundation
- Standard stack identified: miette 7.6.0, assert_cmd 2.1.2, criterion 0.8.1
- Architecture patterns documented for error handling and testing
- Key finding: production code has 0 unwrap/expect (all 217 are in tests)
- Pitfalls catalogued: test vs production code distinction, miette source context

Wow dude, you've been busy!

Thanks 😅
I can't take all the credit, I started this a while ago and had claude code help me bring this to the finish line.

There are more tweaks and checks I need to do before I release this, but I would expect this library to start getting updates pretty frequently from now on.

I am also planning on merging the v2 repo @mguay22 have been maintaining to this one, and starting to chew through the issues.

ESLint 9.x removed the useEslintrc and extensions options that Next.js
14.2.4 is trying to use. Downgraded to ESLint 8.57.1 to fix Vercel CI
build failures.

Also removed prettier/prettier rule from ESLint config as
eslint-plugin-prettier is not installed.
