Two bodies of work, both reviewed before merge. SECURITY AUDIT of 0.8.4. The repo's own gates were already green, so every finding came from manual review and each was reproduced before being claimed: safeFetch re-attached credentials after a cross-origin redirect; its private-network guard was advisory only and defeated by DNS rebinding; three IPv6 forms bypassed the private-address check; sanitizeUrl returned protocol-relative input verbatim (open redirect); the gateway threw on malformed Basic credentials, truncated passwords at the first colon, and leaked password length by timing; RBAC namespace wildcards matched only the first segment; the brace-expansion override was pinned to the exact vulnerable version. PERMISSIONS SYSTEM in @wrnexus/authz. Declaration catalog discovered from app/authz, a pluggable PermissionStore with memory and sqlite adapters held to one 24-test conformance suite, a resolution engine with deny-wins precedence and fail-closed error handling, request middleware, an audit sink, type codegen, a wrnexus authz CLI, and dev/prod boot wiring. Behaviour changes needing release notes: authorizeDecision's 403 body no longer carries reason or policy (opt back in with exposeReason); RBAC wildcards now match at every depth, which widens access for anyone relying on the old behaviour; Router gained a required authz field; subject.id must be a non-empty string.

WRNexusJS
WRNexusJS is a compiler-driven, SSR-first, Bun-native full-stack framework for building secure, fast, maintainable applications with .wrn pages, layouts, components, stores, server functions, client functions, typed outputs, APIs, validation, authentication, realtime rooms, and production tooling.
Current framework version: 0.8.0
Core principles
- Secure by default with CSP, CSRF, safe serialization, URL policies, request limits, SSRF protection, secret scanning, and release gates.
- Performance-first SSR with zero framework JavaScript for static pages and selective hydration for interactive pages.
- One compiler-understood
.wrnmodel for markup, props, state, outputs, and runtime-specific functions. - Backward-compatible package upgrades with migrations, generated references, validation scripts, and private publishing controls.
- Package kits that give developers public helpers, package tests, documentation, and complete UI blocks where a package has a developer-facing interface.
Quick start
bun install
bun run validate:0.8
bun run check
bun run dev
Create or upgrade a project:
bunx @wrnexus/cli@0.8.0 create my-app
bunx @wrnexus/cli@0.8.0 update --version=0.8.0 --report
Package kits in 0.8
All 39 framework packages expose a documented helper/API surface and package tests. UI-facing packages additionally own complete .wrn blocks composed from @wrnexus/ui:
@wrnexus/auth— complete account, sign-in, sign-up, MFA, passkey, recovery, device, provider, and security blocks.@wrnexus/captcha— challenge, field, status, extraction, verification, response, and context helpers.@wrnexus/i18n— recursive locale loading, fallback chains, request resolution, SSR/browser translations, language controls, and formatters.@wrnexus/image— responsive picture plans, secure loaders, placeholders, preload hints, audits, and image blocks.@wrnexus/realtime— typed messages, room connections, presence, typing, metadata, composer, status, and message blocks.@wrnexus/uploader— upload attributes, result validation, formatting, dropzone, and status blocks.@wrnexus/validation— parse/throw helpers, consistent error responses, summaries, and field errors.@wrnexus/ui— the complete shared design-system component catalog.
Infrastructure packages remain helper/API-only so database, encryption, security, compiler, server, and build packages do not pull browser UI into production server code.
Security note for encrypted HTTP bodies
@wrnexus/encryption supports authenticated application-layer request and response envelopes with method, path, request-ID, timestamp, expiry, key-rotation, body-size, and replay binding.
This feature does not replace HTTPS. It is appropriate for service-to-service calls, native/mobile clients, controlled agents, or selected fields with server-managed keys. It cannot hide data from an end user when a browser receives the decryption key.
