March 2026 highlights: Bun runtime support shipped across Pulumi core, including a Bun runtime shim, runtime discovery, debugging, and policy-pack integration, enabling runtime: bun for Pulumi programs and bun-based plugin execution. Introduced RunPlugin2 bidirectional streaming RPC and wired cancellation to the language host Run to support in-band cancellation. Strengthened dependency resolution and packaging with lockfile-aware Bun/pnpm discovery, added ListPackages support, and introduced Python toolchain lockfile detection to improve cross-language reliability. Hardened Bun with stability-focused tests (fixes for flaky debugger attach and explicit function-serialization error messaging) and progressed TS6 compatibility and moduleResolution updates across templates and examples. Improved CI reliability and observability: more robust .NET codegen CI, larger Node.js test partitions, and enhanced OTEL tracing/OTLP exporter instrumentation for CLI/providers, delivering better visibility and performance insight.
