Bug: `bun install -g czottmann/linearis` installs repo without `dist/`, no binary linked (works fine with `linearis@latest`)

[j2h4u]

Side note: Linearis is awesome!

Just wanted to say: this tool is really nice to use--super practical for LLM/automation workflows.
Love you guys for building and maintaining this, linearis already lives in my Antigravity scaffolding ❤️

What happened

When installing from the GitHub repo using Bun, the installed package lacks the dist/ directory, even though the package.json declares the binary as:

{
  "bin": {
    "linearis": "dist/main.js"
  }
}

Because dist/main.js does not exist, Bun does not create the executable symlink in ~/.bun/bin.

However, installing from npm (bun install -g linearis@latest) works correctly — dist/ is present and ~/.bun/bin/linearis appears as expected.

---

Expected behavior

Running either of the following should install a working CLI binary:

bun install -g czottmann/linearis
# or
bun install -g --install-links czottmann/linearis

After installation:

linearis --help

should execute successfully.

---

Steps to reproduce

1. bun --version → 1.3.5
2. bun install -g --install-links czottmann/linearis
3. Inspect installation:

   ls -la ~/.bun/bin | grep linearis  # no symlink created
   ls -la ~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/linearis  # has src/ but no dist/

4. Compare working version:

   bun install -g linearis@latest
   ls -la ~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/linearis/dist  # dist/ present
   linearis --help  # works fine

---

Notes

It appears that installing directly from GitHub fetches the raw repository, not the prebuilt npm package.
If the build step relies on a prepare or postinstall script to generate dist/, Bun may skip it unless the dependency is marked as trusted.

This results in an incomplete installation and no global CLI link.

---

Workarounds

• Use published npm package:

  bun install -g linearis@latest

• Or fall back to:

  bunx linearis ...

---

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 24 (WSL2)
• Bun version: 1.3.5
• Node version (if applicable): v20.19.5
• Linearis version (GitHub or npm): 2025.12.3

---

Additional context

bun install -g czottmann/linearis log output:

$ bun install -g --install-links czottmann/linearis
bun add v1.3.5 (1e86cebd)

installed linearis@github:czottmann/linearis#3b3ccd1 with binaries:

warn: To run "linearis", add the global bin folder to $PATH:

export PATH="/home/j2h4u/.bun/bin:$PATH"

I would love this tool to be a single binary executable. I'm having a lot of related trouble installing it with npm/pnpm.
