Conversation
A plain bun update (with or without --latest, -r, or a --filter that selects the root) rewrites the root catalog entries. Once the update is narrowed with package names, patterns, or --dev/--prod/--no-optional, the entries stay as written and only bun.lock moves within their ranges. The update page claimed the entries were rewritten unconditionally.

- Around line 241-242: Update the catalog update guidance to qualify the `bun
update --latest` behavior as applying only to unrestricted updates, while
preserving that narrowed updates leave catalog entries unchanged. Include
`--latest` in the interactive `bun update -i -r` command when selecting entries
to move past their ranges.
In `@docs/pm/cli/update.mdx`:
- Line 130: Update the CLI documentation sentence containing “afterwards” to use

meaning or wording.

LGTM — docs-only clarification of when bun update rewrites catalog entries.
What was reviewed:
- Checked the new claims against the PR's verification table and the described gate in
updatePackageJSONAndInstall.rs(update_requests.is_empty()+ root-as-target) — the plain-vs-narrowed split is stated correctly across both pages. - Verified the two pages agree with each other after 09ce75e (the
--latestcondition is now stated the same way on both). - Checked internal links (
/pm/catalogs,/pm/cli/update,#--interactive) resolve to existing anchors.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR touches two documentation files only: docs/pm/catalogs.mdx (one new paragraph under "Updating Versions") and docs/pm/cli/update.mdx (expands the catalog bullet under "How package.json is rewritten" into two bullets, and adds catalog notes to the --interactive, --recursive/--filter, and --latest sections). The change corrects an over-claim in the existing docs — the previous text said Bun always rewrites the catalog entry, but that only holds for a plain bun update; narrowed updates (package names, patterns, --dev/--prod/--no-optional, or a --filter that excludes the root) leave entries as written.
Security risks
None. This is prose in .mdx files with no code, config, or build changes.
Level of scrutiny
Low. Docs-only, no behavioral change, and the PR description includes a detailed verification table showing each new sentence was checked against a debug build of main with a local registry fixture. The one CodeRabbit correctness concern (unqualified --latest in catalogs.mdx) was addressed in 09ce75e and the thread is resolved; the "afterwards" spelling nit was correctly declined as pre-existing text used consistently across docs/.
Other factors
The internal links added (/pm/catalogs, /pm/cli/update, and the #--interactive anchor) all point to real pages/headings. The two pages now describe the same behavior in consistent terms. The bug hunting system found nothing. No outstanding review comments remain.

Problem
docs/pm/cli/update.mdxsays "Bun never rewritescatalog:references; it updates the catalog entry in the rootpackage.jsoninstead", with no condition. On main that only holds for a plainbun update.bun update <name>(also glob patterns,--dev/--prod/--no-optional, and a--filterthat does not select the root) leaves the catalog entry as written. Thecatalog:rows re-resolve inbun.lockwithin the entry's range and--latesthas no effect on them:bun update react --latest -ragainst a catalogreact: ^18.2.0printsChecked ... (no changes)and leaves the entry alone. This is the intended split (the catalog hook inupdatePackageJSONAndInstall.rsis gated onupdate_requests.is_empty()and on the root being a target, andbun-update.test.ts"a catalog reference keeps the member's literal and the root catalog entry" pins it), so the page over-claimed.--latestparagraph ("regardless of the declared range") and the--recursive/--filterintro ("only rewrites thepackage.jsonof the workspace you run it in") had the same gap in the other direction: a plain run rewrites the root's catalog entries even from inside a member, and--filterdoes so only when the root is selected.bun update --latestgets an↑ name old → newrow in the summary, is a behavior bug rather than a docs one. install: print the update row for catalog entries moved by bun update #38763 adds the row, so this PR leaves that sentence as is.Fix
update.mdx, "Howpackage.jsonis rewritten": split the catalog bullet in two. A plainbun updaterewrites the root catalog entries by the same rules as direct dependencies (operator kept, exact pins and1.xstyle ranges left alone until--latest), from any workspace directory. A narrowed update leaves the entries as written, onlybun.lockmoves within range,--latestdoes not apply, andbun update -i -r --latestor editing the entry is how to move one entry past its range.update.mdx,--interactive: catalog-backed dependencies are listed and selecting one rewrites the catalog entry; from the root you need-rfor them to show up.update.mdx,--recursive/--filter: a plain run also rewrites the root's catalog entries;--filterdoes so only when the root is among the selected workspaces.update.mdx,--latest: same condition stated next to the "regardless of the declared range" sentence.catalogs.mdx, "Updating Versions": one paragraph pointing atbun update/bun update --latest/bun update -i -r, and noting thatbun update <package>does not touch the entries, so the two pages agree.catalog.no-depsandcatalogs.testing.a-dep, membersapp/uiconsuming them viacatalog:; once with the entries at the newest in-range version (so only--latestcan move anything) and once with a stalebun.lock(so an in-range update has something to do). Runs and outcomes are in the details block.bun run prettieron both files: unchanged.Background
package.json(catalogfor the default group,catalogs.<name>for named groups, optionally nested underworkspaces). Members reference an entry with"react": "catalog:"or"catalog:<name>"so one range is shared across the monorepo; the entry, not the reference, is what carries a version.bun updatehas two code paths. With no package names it re-resolves every dependency of the workspace it runs in and rewrites that workspace'spackage.json; the root catalog entries are treated as part of that root rewrite (PackageJSONEditor::edit_catalogs_before_update/edit_catalogs_after_update). With package names (glob patterns and the--dev/--prod/--no-optionalselectors expand to names) it re-resolves only the rows that name those packages, within the ranges those rows already declare, and acatalog:row declares its range through the entry, so the entry is left alone.Runs used to check the new wording
