Knot

An early native JavaScript toolchain written in Bend 2. Current functionality includes an npm-compatible package-management path, dependency inspection, TypeScript-subset transpilation, import scanning, and initial build/watch commands.

Bend coordinates the tooling while host effects provide platform operations; generated JavaScript runs in an external runtime. The repository documents deterministic lockfiles, package integrity, and isolated dependency layouts. There is no installable release yet, transpilation is not type-checking, and the proposed test runner remains design-only.
