Replace the emit_decorator_metadata bool in the parser features, the
transpiler options, the bundler parse task, the resolver result flags
and the Bun.Transpiler config with a three-state enum
bun_ast::ts::DecoratorMetadata { Off, Loose, Strict }. Every producer
composes it from the tsconfig through TSConfigJSON::decorator_metadata,
which for now always yields Off or Loose.
The runtime transpiler cache hashes the mode as its u8 value in the
byte slot the bool used, so Off and Loose produce the same key as
false and true did.
Behaviour change: none.
tsc's type serializer elides null and undefined from a union or intersection only when strictNullChecks is off. With it on they serialize to void 0, so `string | undefined` becomes Object. Bun always took the non-strict branch. TSConfigJSON now reads `strict` and `strictNullChecks` (an explicit strictNullChecks wins, otherwise strict decides, otherwise off, the TypeScript 5 default). The child config wins through extends. The effective value becomes DecoratorMetadata::Strict and the union and intersection merge helpers in bun_ast::ts take it as a parameter. Visible change: a project with emitDecoratorMetadata and strict: true (or strictNullChecks: true) now reflects `Dto | undefined` as Object, like tsc. Setting strictNullChecks: false restores the old output. Co-authored-by: x04 <admin@splay.dev>
WalkthroughDecorator metadata now records whether metadata is off, uses loose null checks, or uses strict null checks. Tsconfig strict settings flow into parser configuration. Union and intersection metadata serialization uses the effective strict-null-check setting. ChangesDecorator metadata serialization

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things and ruled them out: the runtime transpiler cache key in hash_for_runtime_transpiler (src/js_parser/parser.rs) hashes the mode as its u8 in the slot the old bool occupied, so Strict entries get a distinct feature hash and cannot falsely hit an old Loose entry; and ResultFlags bit 4 (DECORATOR_METADATA_STRICT) was genuinely unused on the base branch and the flags are in-memory only, so no persisted encoding changes.
Extended reasoning...
The change replaces the emit_decorator_metadata bool with a three-state DecoratorMetadata enum across tsconfig parsing, resolver merging, bundler, runtime transpiler and Bun.Transpiler, and threads strictNullChecks into the design:* metadata union/intersection serializer. No security-sensitive surface is touched. The inline findings (cwd-vs-nearest tsconfig at runtime, path_pair max-merge, extends handling, conditional-type arm) already signal a human should look; the note above only records what else was examined.

Only the primary path of a resolution is parsed, so only its tsconfig decides how design:* metadata is serialized. Also use the Off constant instead of Default::default() inside map_or, which clippy rejects.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
The primary-path guard in 415ecf8 (src/resolver/resolver.rs:1589) takes care of the resolver concern from the earlier round. Beyond the one inline note, I also checked the runtime transpiler cache key in src/js_parser/parser.rs (the [u8; 17] array writes the same bytes as the old [bool; 17] for Off/Loose, so only Strict entries re-key) and the new DECORATOR_METADATA_STRICT bit in src/resolver/result.rs (bit 4 was unused on the base branch and ResultFlags is not persisted), so neither introduces a false cache hit or a flag collision.
Extended reasoning...
The latest push narrows the resolver merge to the primary path and swaps Default::default() for the explicit Off constant in JSTranspiler.rs; the rest of the diff is unchanged since the prior review. The runtime per-cwd mode point raised earlier still applies to src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:2524 and is left to the linked follow-up rather than restated here.
