Bun originally wrote a binary lockfile, bun.lockb, which showed up in pull requests as an unreadable blob and required bun bun.lockb to inspect. Bun 1.2 made a JSONC text lockfile, bun.lock, the default for new installs. It diffs normally and can be reviewed like any other file.
Migration is not automatic in every direction. Running a Bun 1.2 install in a repository that has bun.lockb generates the text lockfile alongside it; commit the new file and delete the binary one in the same change, or tooling on both versions will keep regenerating whichever it prefers.
Bun can also adopt another manager's lockfile: bun install reads an existing package-lock.json and converts the resolutions rather than resolving from scratch, which makes a trial migration cheap and reversible. In CI use bun install --frozen-lockfile so an out-of-date lockfile fails the job instead of being silently rewritten.
