Problem

• new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true }) (also what tlsServer.emit("connection", socket) does) crashes the process with an uncaught TypeError: upgradeTLS requires an established socket when the wrapped net.Socket holds a handle the native upgrade cannot adopt:
  • Windows: a named-pipe connection accepted by net.createServer().listen("\\\\.\\pipe\\...") (the STARTTLS-over-pipe pattern). The client side, tls.connect({ socket: pipeSocket }), already works.
  • Every platform: a socket that is still looking up or connecting when it is wrapped, which includes new TLSSocket(net.connect(...), { isServer: true }) written in one tick.
  • Every platform: an outgoing socket the peer reset while a byte was still unread. The native socket is gone, but the net.Socket is not destroyed yet and still carries the dead handle.
• Cause: Socket.prototype[bunUpgradeServerTLS] (src/js/node/net.ts:2353 before this change) picks fd adoption unless !socket || connection.encrypted || hasUnflushedWrites(connection), so all three cases take the adoption branch, which calls handle.upgradeTLS() from process.nextTick. upgrade_tls_impl (src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:3375) accepts only InternalSocket::Connected and throws; inside nextTick there is no caller, so the throw is an uncaught exception.
• The client path (Socket.prototype.connect, net.ts:1990) checks isNamedPipeSocket and waits for a connecting socket before adopting; the server path never got the equivalent.

Fix

• Named pipes take the stream-level engine branch that already serves handle-less Duplexes, TLS over TLS and pending plain writes. A pipe has no us_socket_t to adopt, and this is the branch the client path already uses for pipes.
• A connecting socket waits for 'connect' and then runs the same deferred adoption a connected socket gets; if the connection closes first, the wrap is destroyed (Node closes the wrap, without an error of its own, when the wrapped socket fails; the failure itself stays on that socket). Adopting after connect rather than switching such sockets to the stream engine keeps them identical to a wrap made one event later: peer address, setNoDelay/setKeepAlive, native read backpressure and destroy() propagation all come from the adopted fd, which the stream engine has none of. A wrap destroyed while the connection was still connecting destroys the connection once it connects, like the client-side 'connect' path; otherwise it would stay open and refed with no owner.
• The deferred step (now adoptServerTLS) re-reads connection._handle, because family autoselection swaps handles while connecting and a connecting socket can turn out to be a pipe, and checks for a pipe alongside the existing queued-writes check, mirroring the client path's post-connect check.
• handle.upgradeTLS() is wrapped so a refused adoption destroys the wrap with the error, next to the existing Invalid socket branch; the deferred stream-engine attach is guarded the same way (the synchronous one keeps throwing to the constructor's caller). Every failure exit of the deferred step goes through one helper that destroys the connection along with the wrap: with the inline new TLSSocket(net.connect(...), { isServer: true }) idiom nothing else holds the connection, so leaving it would pin the event loop with an unowned open socket. By then the constructor has returned, so the wrap's 'error' (which tls.Server turns into 'tlsClientError') is the only surface left, and it is where Node reports failures of a wrapped socket.
• The change is in JS because that layer owns the choice between the two engines and is the only one that sees the stream state (connecting, queued writes) the choice depends on. The native Connected check is the right invariant for adoption and is unchanged.
• Verified:
  • test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts: six new tests. A wrap of a still-connecting socket completes a round trip and reports the peer's address (which pins adoption; the stream engine reports none) and releases the wrapped socket afterwards; a wrap destroyed mid-connect releases the connection once it connects; a wrap of a connecting socket whose connect fails emits 'close' and nothing else; a wrap of a connection whose handle is gone emits 'error' then 'close'; a deferred refusal (a fake secureContext object, which the constructor never validates) lands on the wrap's 'error' instead of escaping nextTick uncaught and releases the connection, covered through both the adoption branch and the stream-engine branch (queued corked write). All six fail on the current release and pass with this change: 10/10 runs on Linux (ASAN debug), 5/5 on a Windows x64 debug build for the first three.
  • test/js/node/tls/node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts (Windows only): direct wrap and tls.Server emit('connection') of an accepted named-pipe connection complete a handshake and a round trip. Both fail on the current Windows canary with the same TypeError and pass on a Windows x64 debug build of this branch, 10/10 runs.
  • The verbatim repro from the report prints client got: echo:hi on Windows with this change.
  • A probe wrapping a connecting socket in the same-tick IP-literal shape, the hostname + autoSelectFamily shape, and destroying the wrap against a silent peer produces the same event sequence as Node 26 on all three (peer address present, setNoDelay honored, wrapped socket destroyed). On the current release the IP-literal shape adopts the half-connected socket and then keeps the process alive after the exchange; waiting for 'connect' removes that as well.
  • Existing wrap coverage still passes (list in the details below).
• Reported separately, not changed here: once a wrap runs over a pipe, an error on the underlying plain socket (for example EPIPE from a close_notify the peer never read) still surfaces on the plain socket instead of the TLSSocket. That is pre-existing stream-engine behavior, reproducible today with the client-side pipe upgrade; the new pipe test reads through to close_notify so it does not depend on it.

Background

• A net.Socket keeps its native connection in _handle. For TCP and Unix sockets that is a uSockets us_socket_t (InternalSocket::Connected). A Windows named pipe is a libuv pipe (InternalSocket::Pipe) with no us_socket_t, and a socket that is still resolving or connecting is Detached or Connecting. net.connect() creates the handle object up front and connects it in place (or replaces it per attempt under family autoselection), so connection._handle is non-null for the whole connecting phase.
• node:tls has two ways to put TLS on an existing connection. Adoption (handle.upgradeTLS) moves the us_socket_t into the TLS socket group so the native read path drives the handshake; it needs a Connected socket and gives the TLSSocket everything the fd offers (addresses, socket options, read backpressure via pause/resume). The stream-level engine (upgradeDuplexToTLS) runs BoringSSL over the JS stream's 'data'/'end'/'drain'/'close' events and its write(), so it works over anything Duplex-shaped but exposes none of the fd-level features; it is the fallback for generic Duplexes, TLS over TLS and pending plain writes.
• The server-side wrap defers adoption by one tick on purpose: the user's 'connection' listener runs after tls.Server's own and may still write a plain banner that has to leave before any TLS bytes. That deferral is what turns a throwing upgradeTLS into an uncaught exception rather than an exception from the constructor, and it is why the connecting case can reuse the deferred step as-is after 'connect'.
• Node's _wrapHandle (lib/_tls_wrap.js) wraps whatever handle the socket has, connecting or pipe included, and reports what happens to the wrapped socket on the TLSSocket.

Other suites run against this change

All with the Linux ASAN debug build unless noted.

• test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts: 72 pass; the one remaining failure in this container (listen("localhost") binding a different address than connect dials) reproduces without this change and does not touch the wrap path.
• test/js/node/tls/node-tls-upgrade.test.ts, node-tls-connect.test.ts, node-tls-duplex-close-throw-uaf.test.ts: pass.
• Vendored Node tests that wrap sockets server-side or inject connections: test-tls-starttls-server, test-tls-delayed-attach, test-tls-delayed-attach-error, test-tls-socket-destroy, test-tls-retain-handle-no-abort, test-tls-socket-failed-handshake-emits-error, test-tls-exportkeyingmaterial, test-tls-snicallback-error, test-tls-error-servername, test-tls-socket-constructor-alpn-options-parsing, test-tls-transport-destroy-after-own-gc, test-tls-ticket, test-double-tls-server, test-tls-socket-close, test-tls-handshake-exception, test-tls-destroy-stream, test-http2-client-connection-tunnelling, test-http2-client-proxy-over-http2, test-http2-autoselect-protocol, test-http2-socket-close: all pass.
• Windows x64 debug build: the new node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts tests 10/10 runs, the three new node-tls-server.test.ts tests 5/5 runs, all green. (The pre-existing 400-connection named-pipe test in that file exceeds 5 s on a debug build there; it does not use the wrap path and CI runs it on release builds, where it takes well under a second.)

Earlier revision of this PR: connecting sockets were sent to the stream engine as well. Review pointed out that this would have permanently cost them the fd-level behavior listed under Background, and that a failed connect then produced a spurious 'error' and no 'close' on the wrap; the current revision adopts after 'connect' instead and the new tests pin the address and close behavior.

Walkthrough

Server-side TLS wrapping now uses stream TLS for non-adoptable transports, defers native adoption until connecting sockets connect, preserves buffered data, and handles failed upgrades. Tests cover named pipes, connection failures, cleanup, and missing handles.

Changes

Server-side TLS wrapping

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Transport selection and stream TLS wiring src/js/node/net.ts, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts	Named pipes and other non-adoptable transports use stream-based TLS. Tests cover direct TLSSocket wrapping and tls.Server handling for named pipes.
Deferred native TLS adoption src/js/node/net.ts, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts	Connecting sockets defer native TLS adoption until connect. The implementation rechecks handles, passes buffered bytes to native TLS, and handles failed upgrades. Tests cover successful adoption, destruction, and connection errors.
Deferred failure and cleanup validation test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts	Tests cover missing handles, deferred stream-engine failures, deferred native-adoption failures, wrapper errors, and underlying connection cleanup.

Status: fix pushed (reworked after self-review, see the PR body's details block), waiting on CI.

Reproduced on Windows x64 with the current canary (uncaught TypeError: upgradeTLS requires an established socket from the report's repro) and on Linux with the three new node-tls-server.test.ts cases, which fail on the current release and pass with this branch. The Windows named-pipe tests and the three Linux tests were also run against a Windows x64 debug build of this branch.

[claude]

LGTM — targeted crash fix that routes non-adoptable handles to the existing stream engine, mirroring what the client path already does.

What was reviewed:

• The two new conditions (connection.connecting, isNamedPipeSocket(socket)) match the client-side check at net.ts:1990 and route to the same upgradeDuplexToTLS branch already used for handle-less Duplexes.
• The try/catch around handle.upgradeTLS() follows the exact shape of the existing !result branch immediately below it (this._handle = null; this.destroy(err)).
• Four new tests cover the three failure modes (connecting socket, dead handle after peer reset, Windows named pipe direct wrap and via emit('connection')); all wire failure events to reject and clean up in finally.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes an uncaught TypeError: upgradeTLS requires an established socket that crashes the process when new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true }) is called on a socket whose native handle the fd-adoption path cannot use: a Windows named pipe, a still-connecting socket, or a socket whose native connection was reset behind an unread byte. The runtime change is ~20 lines in one function (Socket.prototype[bunUpgradeServerTLS] in src/js/node/net.ts): two extra conditions on the existing stream-engine fallback, plus a try/catch around the deferred handle.upgradeTLS() call. Four new tests cover the three scenarios.

Security risks

None identified. This does not touch the TLS handshake, certificate verification, or crypto. It only decides which of two pre-existing engines (native fd adoption vs. the stream-level BoringSSL engine) drives an already-configured server-side wrap, and converts a deferred throw into socket.destroy(err). The stream engine is the same one already used for TLS-over-TLS, generic Duplexes, and client-side pipe upgrades.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. It's in the node:tls server wrap path, but the change is mechanical: it adds connection.connecting || isNamedPipeSocket(socket) to a condition list, exactly mirroring the client-side check at line 1990 (which the PR description references). The try/catch is a defensive backstop that turns an uncaught exception from nextTick into a proper 'error' → 'close' sequence on the TLSSocket — the same shape as the !result fallthrough right below it. No new code paths are introduced; failing cases are routed to existing, tested infrastructure.

Other factors

The PR description is thorough: it identifies the root cause (upgrade_tls_impl requires InternalSocket::Connected), explains why the fix belongs in JS (the JS layer owns the engine choice and sees connecting/buffered-write state), verifies the new tests fail on the current release and pass 10/10 on both Linux ASAN and Windows x64, and lists ~20 vendored Node wrap tests that still pass. Tests follow harness conventions (withResolvers, error-event rejection wiring, finally cleanup, it.if(isWindows) gating). The one scoped-out item (underlying-socket errors surfacing on the plain socket rather than the TLSSocket for the stream engine) is pre-existing behavior explicitly noted as reported separately.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it reworks the server-side TLS wrap state machine (new connecting branch with cross-removed connect/close listeners, and a try/catch around the deferred native upgradeTLS), a human look would still be worthwhile — and the comment-cop flags on the multi-line comments in net.ts are still open.

What was reviewed:

• The isNamedPipeSocket / connecting gates mirror the existing client-path checks; the extracted attachServerTLSEngine/adoptServerTLS preserve the prior nextTick body's ordering, kUpgradeAttached emit, and kupgraded assignment.
• The new once('connect')/once('close') pair remove each other, and adoptServerTLS re-checks self.destroyed/connection.destroyed first, so a wrap destroyed while waiting is not adopted.
• New tests await observable events (no sleeps), wire failure paths to reject, and the connecting-socket test asserts remoteAddress/remotePort to prove fd adoption happened rather than the stream engine.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes an uncaught TypeError: upgradeTLS requires an established socket when new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true }) wraps a socket the native adoption cannot take: Windows named pipes, still-connecting sockets, and sockets whose native connection has already closed behind buffered bytes. The fix is entirely in src/js/node/net.ts's bunUpgradeServerTLS: named pipes are routed to the existing stream-level engine (matching the client path), connecting sockets defer adoption until 'connect' (with a paired 'close' handler to tear down the wrap on failure), and the deferred handle.upgradeTLS() call is wrapped in try/catch so a refused adoption destroys the wrap with the error instead of escaping nextTick. The two duplicated upgradeDuplexToTLS blocks are extracted into attachServerTLSEngine, and the nextTick body into adoptServerTLS. Three new tests in node-tls-server.test.ts and two Windows-only tests in node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts cover each case.

Security risks

This is TLS server-side wrap logic. The change does not weaken any verification — it only widens the set of underlying transports the existing stream engine will run over (named pipes) and defers adoption until the socket is connected. The try/catch converts what was an uncaught process-level exception into a per-socket 'error', which is strictly safer. No new user-controlled input reaches native code without the same validation as before. Still, any change to how a TLS handshake is initiated on an accepted connection warrants a human sanity check.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The logic itself is a targeted bugfix that mirrors existing client-side handling, and the refactor is behavior-preserving as far as I can trace (the kUpgradeAttached emit, _handle assignment, kupgraded bookkeeping, and pending-read handoff are all retained). But it introduces a new event-listener pair on a connecting socket with mutual removal, and reorders when connection._handle is re-read — both are the sort of state-machine detail where a maintainer familiar with the wrap lifecycle should confirm nothing is missed.

Other factors

• The github-actions comment-cop bot left seven inline flags on multi-line comments in net.ts that have not been addressed. Several of those comments were already present pre-PR (just moved), but per repo guidance the author should decide whether to trim them.
• Test coverage is thorough: each of the three failure modes has a dedicated test that awaits real events, wires every error path to reject the awaited promise, and asserts specific values (the connecting-socket test checks remoteAddress to prove native adoption ran, not the fallback engine).
• The bug hunter examined the multi-line-comment style concern and ruled it out as a functional issue; no correctness bugs were found.

[claude]

I re-reviewed after the latest commits and found no further bugs — the two connection-leak paths and the deferred stream-engine throw flagged earlier are now all routed through failServerAdoption, and each has a test. Because this reworks the server-side TLS adoption path (new connecting-socket branch, and every failure exit now destroys the wrapped connection where the pre-existing path did not), a maintainer look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed

• All failure exits of adoptServerTLS (destroyed, !handle, engine throw, upgradeTLS throw, !result) now destroy both wrap and connection via one helper; verified against _destroy's instanceof Socket skip at net.ts:2149.
• The connecting branch's connect/close listener pair — checked that a wrap destroyed mid-connect is cleaned up when either event later fires (covered by the new test).
• The named-pipe and post-connect re-check mirror the existing client path at net.ts:1987-2041; events.once(server, "listening") in the pipe test already rejects on 'error', so the unaddressed CodeRabbit nit is a non-issue.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes an uncaught TypeError: upgradeTLS requires an established socket thrown from process.nextTick when new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true }) wraps a socket whose handle the native upgradeTLS cannot adopt: Windows named pipes, still-connecting sockets, and sockets whose native fd is already gone but whose net.Socket is not yet destroyed. The fix in src/js/node/net.ts (a) adds isNamedPipeSocket to the synchronous engine-selection check, (b) adds a connection.connecting branch that waits for 'connect'/'close' before adopting, (c) extracts the deferred step into adoptServerTLS and the stream-engine attach into attachServerTLSEngine (deduplicating two inline copies), (d) wraps both handle.upgradeTLS and the deferred attachServerTLSEngine in try/catch, and (e) routes every failure exit through a new failServerAdoption helper that destroys both the wrap and the underlying connection. Six new tests in node-tls-server.test.ts and two Windows-only tests in node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts cover the happy path, destroy-mid-connect, failed connect, dead handle, and refused options through both engine branches.

Security risks

None identified. The change does not touch TLS crypto, certificate validation, or handshake logic — it only selects which of two existing I/O engines (native fd adoption vs. stream-level BoringSSL over the JS stream's events) drives the handshake, both of which are already in production use on the client-side path. No new user-controlled input reaches native code that didn't before.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. This is Node-compat code in the server-side TLS wrap path — a deferred adoption sequence with event-listener juggling and error propagation across async boundaries, where getting a failure path wrong produces either an uncaught exception or a silent connection leak that pins the event loop. The area is subtle enough that this PR went through three review-driven fixes: two connection-leak bugs I flagged (destroy-mid-connect and the upgradeTLS catch branch, both now covered by failServerAdoption and tests) and one uncaught-throw path CodeRabbit flagged (the deferred stream-engine call, now wrapped). The current revision looks correct and closely mirrors the established client-side pattern at net.ts:1987-2041, but the number of iterations it took to converge argues for a maintainer sign-off rather than an automated approval.

Other factors

• Behavior change on pre-existing paths: failServerAdoption now unconditionally calls connection.destroy() on the self.destroyed, !handle, and !result exits, where the pre-PR code destroyed only the wrap. The PR body justifies this (an inline-wrapped connection has no other owner and would otherwise pin the loop), and it matches Node's ownership model, but it is a semantic change a maintainer should confirm.
• Test coverage: strong. Each failure exit added or changed here has a dedicated test; the connecting-socket happy-path test asserts remoteAddress/remotePort to pin fd adoption over the stream engine; the destroy-mid-connect and refused-options tests assert the connection is released. All failure events are wired to promise rejections; cleanup is in finally.
• Unaddressed CodeRabbit nit: the named-pipe test's await once(server, "listening") was flagged as not handling listen errors, but Node's events.once() already rejects on 'error' from the same emitter, so no change was needed.
• No CODEOWNERS file in the repo; suggested reviewers per CodeRabbit are cirospaciari / Jarred-Sumner, who own this area.

I reviewed this revision and found no new issues — both connection-leak paths I flagged earlier are now routed through failServerAdoption, which destroys the underlying connection on every deferred-adoption failure exit. Because this reworks the server-side TLS wrap engine selection and adds a deferred-adopt-on-connect path, a human look at the Node-compat behavior would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Every exit of adoptServerTLS (destroyed, !handle, stream-engine throw, upgradeTLS throw, !result) now goes through failServerAdoption, which calls connection.destroy() — the inline new TLSSocket(net.connect(...)) idiom no longer orphans the socket.
• Destroying the wrap mid-connect: onConnect → adoptServerTLS → self.destroyed branch → connection released; covered by the new test.
• The synchronous attachServerTLSEngine call still throws to the constructor's caller; only the deferred call is guarded — matches the stated intent.
• once(server, "listening") in the named-pipe test already rejects on 'error' via node:events.once, so the earlier CodeRabbit note about a missing server-error listener does not apply.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes Socket.prototype[bunUpgradeServerTLS] in src/js/node/net.ts (~100 lines of production JS), extracting two helpers (attachServerTLSEngine, adoptServerTLS) and one shared failure-exit helper (failServerAdoption). It routes named-pipe handles and connecting sockets away from the native upgradeTLS adoption that would throw uncaught from nextTick, and wraps every deferred failure so it lands on the wrap's 'error' and releases the underlying connection. Six new tests in node-tls-server.test.ts and two new Windows-only tests in node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts cover the happy path, destroy-while-connecting, connect failure, dead-handle refusal, and deferred stream-engine/adoption refusals.

Security risks

The change is in the JS layer that chooses between the two existing TLS engines (native fd adoption vs. stream-level BoringSSL) — it does not touch certificate validation, the handshake itself, or any option parsing. failServerAdoption fails closed (destroys both wrap and connection). No new user-controlled data reaches native code that didn't before. I see no injection, auth-bypass, or data-exposure surface introduced here; the risk is behavioral (Node compat / lifecycle correctness) rather than cryptographic.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. This is the server-side TLS wrap path — a hot Node-compat surface where lifecycle bugs manifest as fd leaks or hung event loops rather than crashes. The change went through several revisions after two connection-leak findings from earlier runs of this review and one from CodeRabbit (deferred stream-engine throw), all now addressed and covered by tests. The remaining CodeRabbit minors (the pre-existing "Invalid socket" message text and a test-hardening suggestion that was applied) do not block. Given the scope and the Node-compat implications (the PR body documents behavior parity checks against Node 26), a maintainer familiar with the tls/net wrap machinery should confirm the design choice of adopt-after-connect vs. stream-engine for connecting sockets.

Other factors

Test coverage is thorough for the new paths, including the peer-address assertion that pins fd adoption over the stream engine. All prior inline review threads are marked resolved. The "Invalid socket" error string in the !result branch is unchanged from before this PR, so I did not flag it as a regression.

[claude]

I re-reviewed after aae11ea and 71ef987 and didn't find any new issues — both connection-leak paths I flagged earlier now go through failServerAdoption, which destroys the underlying connection on every deferred failure exit. Because this touches the server-side TLS wrap/handshake path and its lifecycle across several deferred branches, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Every failure exit of adoptServerTLS (destroyed, !handle, engine throw, upgradeTLS throw, !result) routes through failServerAdoption → connection.destroy(); no orphaned fd remains.
• The connecting-socket branch's onConnect/onClose pair remove each other, so a failed connect closes the wrap once and a destroyed wrap releases the connection after connect.
• isNamedPipeSocket and hasUnflushedWrites are re-checked after connect (family autoselection can swap the handle), matching the client path.
• The synchronous attachServerTLSEngine call still throws to the constructor's caller; only the deferred call is guarded.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes an uncaught TypeError: upgradeTLS requires an established socket that escaped process.nextTick when new TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true }) (or tlsServer.emit('connection', socket)) wrapped a socket the native upgrade cannot adopt: Windows named pipes, still-connecting sockets, and connections whose native fd is already gone. The change is confined to src/js/node/net.ts (Socket.prototype[bunUpgradeServerTLS]), refactored into three helpers — attachServerTLSEngine, failServerAdoption, and adoptServerTLS — plus eight new tests across node-tls-server.test.ts and node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts.

Security risks

This is TLS server-side wrap logic. The change routes non-adoptable transports to the existing stream-level TLS engine (upgradeDuplexToTLS) rather than a new codepath, and defers native adoption until 'connect' fires. It does not touch certificate validation, SecureContext construction, or the native handshake itself. The main risk class is lifecycle: an orphaned open connection or a wrap that never reports its failure. Two such leaks were found and fixed during review (5503b70, aae11ea); the current revision funnels every deferred failure exit through failServerAdoption, which destroys both the wrap and the underlying connection. I did not identify a way for the change to weaken TLS validation or bypass a security check.

Level of scrutiny

High. TLS and socket lifetime are both areas where subtle ordering mistakes turn into DoS (leaked fds, pinned event loops) or, worse, silent handshake bypasses. The change itself is well-scoped and heavily tested (six cross-platform tests plus two Windows named-pipe tests, and the PR body lists ~20 vendored Node TLS tests re-run against it), but the number of deferred branches, the interaction with _destroy's kupgraded guard, and the fact that this went through two rounds of leak fixes all argue for a human reviewer familiar with the TLS wrap machinery to sign off.

Other factors

• Both of my prior findings (destroy-while-connecting leak; upgradeTLS throw leaving the fd live) were addressed by routing all failure exits through failServerAdoption, and the new tests pin both.
• CodeRabbit's remaining minor points (the pre-existing "Invalid socket" error string, and wiring server.on('error') in the Windows-only pipe test helper) are marked resolved and neither blocks correctness.
• No native (.rs/.cpp) changes; the native Connected invariant in upgrade_tls_impl is unchanged.
• The PR has been iterated across ~10 commits with comment-cop and review feedback; the diff is now compact and the comments are single-line as required.

CI state for the latest push (71ef987): 177 of 179 jobs passed, zero failed. The two remaining jobs are both darwin 14 aarch64 test lanes that have sat in the agent queue for over 5 hours, so the build shows as incomplete on infra starvation rather than any red lane. The five flaky-test annotations are unrelated files that passed on retry. The diff itself is green everywhere it ran, including all the new tls wrap tests.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Superseded by #44618, which consolidates the open TLS pull requests. This fix and its tests are in there, either as written, rewritten smaller, or merged with the other PRs that patched the same cause (see the "By area" list in that PR). Closing in favor of it.
