Problem

  • A node:tls socket whose write is the first to see the peer's reset ends as a clean close: no write error, 'end', hadError false. Node fails the write with write ECONNRESET.
  • The cause is us_socket_write_check_error (packages/bun-usockets/src/socket.c:548). For an SSL socket it never set *fatal_write_error. TLS ciphertext goes out through us_socket_raw_write, which folds a rejected send() to 0. On Linux that send() also consumes the pending socket error, so the next recv() returns 0 and the reset is lost.

Fix

  • The raw sends of a TLS write classify a failed send(). The code travels up through per-loop scratch (loop_ssl_data, no socket state) and out of the fatal_write_error channel that plain TCP already uses.
  • The records SSL_write sealed for the failed write are discarded, so a retry cannot send the same plaintext twice.
  • Bun.connect write()/end() return the documented -1 for a fatal send (TCP leaked -104). HTTP/2 over TLS is unchanged: it already ends as in Node.
  • Verified: four test files on linux-x64 and Windows x64, the Node-compatible fixtures also on node v26.3.0. Self-reviewed: 10 concerns raised, 9 addressed (Notes).

Background

  • SSL_write seals records into a custom write BIO, which sends them in one batch. A short send parks the rest in a per-loop spill slot.
  • socket_body.rs writes node:net and node:tls data through us_socket_write_check_error. Its fatal_write_error out-parameter carries a peer-gone send() up to net.ts failWrite, which fails the write like Node.
  • The classification existed for TCP. The first commit only moves it into us_internal_classify_failed_send.
Notes

How it was found. By inspection during work on #42182, not from a tracker report.

Reach. tls.connect({ socket }), https.request and Bun.connect({ tls }) go through the same write path and change with it, as the table shows.

Repro (the peer resets while the client's loop is blocked, then the client writes. The peer runs under node in every row):

node:tls socket
  node v26.3.0, linux + windows:  write()->false | writecb:ECONNRESET | error:ECONNRESET:write | close(hadError=true)
  bun 1.4.3, linux:               write()->true  | writecb:ok | end | close(hadError=false)
  bun canary, windows:            write()->true  | writecb:ok | error:ECONNRESET:read | close(hadError=true)
  this branch, linux + windows:   write()->true  | writecb:ECONNRESET | error:ECONNRESET:write | close(hadError=true)
tls.connect({ socket }): the same three results.
https.request (100-continue, then the reset, then req.write)
  node, linux + windows:          req.writecb:ECONNRESET | req.error: write ECONNRESET
  bun 1.4.3, linux:               req.writecb:ok | req.error: socket hang up
  bun canary, windows:            req.writecb:ok | req.error: read ECONNRESET
  this branch, linux + windows:   req.writecb:ECONNRESET | req.error: write ECONNRESET
Bun.connect({ tls }) write(), twice
  bun 1.4.3 / canary:             4, 0
  this branch:                    -1, -1      (TCP: -104, -32 before, -1, -1 now)

write() returning true is pre-existing and shared with the TCP path.

Why HTTP/2 over TLS is left alone. The report that started this said an https h2 session ends clean where Node reports ECONNRESET. Node's answer depends on the kernel. With #42182's own fixture, node v26.3.0 on linux-x64 ends the request clean, 6 of 6 runs (stream.end, rstCode 8, session.close, no 'error'), because the failed send() consumed the socket error and Node's Http2Session::OnStreamAfterWrite does not act on the write status. On Windows the reset stays readable and Node reports ECONNRESET on the stream and the session. bun over TLS already gives exactly those two results, through the read side, and it also delivers a response that arrived before the reset, as Node does. The parser's reaction to a fatal write is close_transport_after_fatal_write on its deferred tick. Over TLS that close discards the unread response and the session gets EBADF from the write that follows (what plain TCP does on main). So NativeSocketWrite for &TLSSocket calls write_maybe_corked_without_fatal_report, and h2 over TLS is byte for byte what it was. The new h2 test pins that. #42182 owns what the parser does with a fatal write over TCP.

Why the sealed records are discarded. When the raw send fails, SSL_write has already taken the plaintext and the sealed records sit in the batch or the spill. node:net keeps the failed chunk for internal_flush, and a Bun.connect user can call write() again. If the wire came back (the classification also reports an unclassified errno after 32 consecutive failures), the spill would drain and the retry would put the same plaintext on the stream again. Without the records the stream has a gap, which the peer rejects (bad record MAC), so the connection fails instead of being corrupted. A close that follows also no longer waits behind bytes that cannot drain. ssl_fatal_error is not set: it would stop the read side.

Relation to other open PRs.

Self-review. Ten concerns came out of it and nine are addressed: no socket field, the false size comment is gone with it, the Bun.connect return value, the h2 decision and its test, Windows verified on a Windows x64 machine, tests that run on release lanes, on Windows and on Node, the stale comments in socket_body.rs, socket.rs and libusockets.h, the retry hazard above (found while doing this), and this section. Not done: a stack of separate PRs, for the reason given under #34510.

Review follow-ups. The send-error owner in loop_ssl_data follows a socket relocation like the other owner slots. The two child fixtures that report from their close handler also report on a 20 s deadline. The new comments under src/ are one line each.

Tests.

  • test/js/node/tls/tls-syscall-fault.test.ts: fault injection, send fails with ECONNRESET. Times out on stock bun.
  • test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts: real reset, tls.connect({ port }) and tls.connect({ socket }). The child blocks its loop until the parent confirms the reset. Fails on stock bun on Linux and on the Windows canary. Passes on node v26.3.0 on both.
  • test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts: Bun.connect write() returns -1, TCP and TLS. Stock bun returns -104, -32 and 4, 0.
  • test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js: h2 over TLS, real reset. Passes before and after by design. Passes on node v26.3.0 on both platforms.

Suites, linux-x64 debug+ASAN: test/js/node/tls/ 316 pass, test/js/node/http2/ 521 pass, test/js/bun/net/ 143 pass, test/js/node/net/ 266 pass, bun-serve-ssl + serve.test.ts 315 pass, test/js/node/http/ 372 pass, node's parallel test-tls-* 185/186, test-https-* 58/59, test-net-* 139/139, test-http2-* 256/256. Every failure is also there without this change in the same container (tests that need localhost name resolution or the public internet, test-https-timeout on a debug build, a 5 s limit around a 5.09 s debug run). Windows x64 debug: test/js/node/tls/ 315 pass (2 named-pipe timeouts that fail identically without the change), test/js/node/http2/ 511 pass, test/js/node/net/ 252 pass, test/js/bun/net/ 120 pass.


no test proof · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/tls/tls-syscall-fault.test.ts, test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts

us_socket_write_check_error decided inline whether a failed send() is
retried from a writable event or reported as fatal. Move that decision
into us_internal_classify_failed_send. No behaviour change: the TCP path
calls it and acts on the result exactly as before.
…ing clean

A TLS write reaches the wire from inside the write BIO and from the batch
and spill flushes. All of them fold a rejected send() into "the wire
blocked", so us_socket_write_check_error never reported a fatal send for
an SSL socket. The writer counted the bytes as written, nothing reported
the peer's reset (on Linux the failed send() consumes the socket's pending
error, so the read side sees a plain EOF), and the connection ended as a
clean close. Node fails the write with ECONNRESET.

The raw sends of the write in progress now classify a failed send() and
hand the code to us_internal_ssl_write_check_error through per-loop
scratch, so no socket state is added. The SSL branch of
us_socket_write_check_error reports it through the channel plain TCP
already uses. The records SSL_write sealed for the failed write are
discarded, so a writer that retries cannot put the same plaintext on the
stream twice.

node:tls, https and tls.connect({ socket }) now fail the write like Node
(write callback, 'error' with syscall write, 'close' with hadError).
Bun.connect's write() and end() return the documented -1 for a fatal send
instead of the raw negative errno, for TCP as well. The HTTP/2 frame
parser keeps a rejected send on a TLS transport as backpressure: its only
reaction to a fatal write is to close the transport at once, which would
drop what the peer sent before it went away, and the session already ends
the way it does in Node.
- node:tls under fault injection: send() fails with ECONNRESET.
- node:tls with a real reset, for tls.connect({ port }) and
  tls.connect({ socket }). The child blocks its event loop until the
  parent confirms the reset, then writes.
- Bun.connect write() returns -1, over TCP and over TLS.
- node:http2 over TLS: the session and the stream both close, no
  response appears, and any error is the reset.

Status: open, waiting for CI and review.

How it was reproduced. Two processes. The peer is a tls.createServer that writes to the client and then resets the raw TCP socket it captured from the server's 'connection' event (resetAndDestroy()), so no TLS alert precedes the RST. The client blocks its event loop inside its 'data' handler until the reset is done, then calls socket.write(), so that write is the first operation that observes the reset.

  • bun 1.4.3, linux-x64: the write callback reports success, then 'end' and 'close' with hadError false.
  • node v26.3.0 and this branch: write ECONNRESET on the write callback and on 'error', then 'close' with hadError true.

test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts ("a write that is the first to observe the peer's reset fails with a write error") runs exactly this. Run it with USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test to see the failure, and with bun bd test to see it pass.

…reset fixtures

us_internal_ssl_socket_relocated moves every owner slot of the per-loop
SSL data to the new block. The send-error owner follows it too, and the
reporting wrapper continues on the live block after the write.

The two child fixtures that report from their close handler also report
on a 20 s deadline, so a missing close shows the recorded state instead
of a bare test timeout (CI runs with a 90 s per-test limit).

Review findings so far, and what happened to each:

  • ssl_send_error_owner across a relocation (coderabbit): fixed in 7e742ef. us_internal_ssl_socket_relocated moves it like the other owner slots, and the reporting wrapper continues on the live block after the write.
  • Fixtures that report only from close (coderabbit): fixed in 7e742ef. Both child fixtures also report on a 20 s deadline. CI runs with a 90 s limit for each test, so a missing close now shows the recorded state and not a bare timeout.
  • h2 over TLS should propagate the failed send and close a spill that cannot drain (coderabbit): declined, with the reasons in the thread. That path is unchanged from main by design. A real reset always reaches the read side, which is what closes the session, and that is measured on Linux and Windows and pinned by the new h2 test. The spin with a live peer is 100% cpu if use sslmode on mysql #24845, which usockets: close a TLS socket whose send() keeps failing instead of spinning the writable dispatch #34510 owns.
  • Four comments of more than one line under src/ (comment lint): each is one line now, in 6dd9136.

All review threads are resolved.

For readers of the latest bot review: its "outside diff range" note and its merge-risk line ask again for TLSSocket::write_maybe_corked in the HTTP/2 adapter. That is the same finding the bot raised twice before and withdrew both times, after the evidence in the threads:

Nothing changed in that code since. The call stays as it is: with the suggested call, a real reset over TLS gives the session EBADF and drops a response that already arrived, where stock bun and node v26.3.0 end the request the same way this branch does. test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js pins it.

The comment still described an earlier shape of the change, where the
frame parser was told about the failed send. Over TLS it is not, and the
reset reaches JS through the read side.

… parked (#43698)

### Problem
- An accepted `node:tls` socket whose write is the first to see the
peer's RST emits `'end'` and nothing else: no write callback, no
`'error'`, no `'close'`. The server counts it forever, so
`server.close()` never completes. On main, 16 of 30 connections end this
way. Node: 0 of 30.
- The last block of `SocketEmitEndNT` (`src/js/node/net.ts:875`) fails a
parked write only when the native close carries an error or the socket
is destroyed. Here the failed `send()` consumed the socket error, so the
close carries none.

### Fix
- A half-open `'end'` runs the same function, and its write can still
drain. Tell the two apart by `kclosed`, which only the native close
handlers set. A parked write on a closed handle fails with
`ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`, as the client-side close handler already does.
`'error'` and `'close'` follow.
- #42336 fixes the cause in the TLS write path, and alone it also
removes this state (0 of 30, measured). #38176 alone does not (18 and 26
of 30). This change is the JS-side guarantee for any clean close that
leaves a write parked.
- Verified: new test in `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts`
(fails on main with `events: []` and 2 connections, passes here).
`test/js/node/tls/`, `test/js/node/net/` and Node's 325
`test-net-*`/`test-tls-*` files: same failures as main.

### Background
- A write the kernel does not take whole is parked: the native socket
buffers the rest, and `net.ts` keeps the callback in `kwriteCallback`
until the drain.
- Accepted sockets are half-open natively, so a peer FIN dispatches only
`'end'`.
- After a native close the fd is gone, and nothing parked can drain.

#### The ledger's repro (30 connections, the peer resets on the first
byte of a 1 MiB write, node peer, linux-x64)

| build | never closed | the other connections |
|---|---|---|
| node v26.3.0 | 0 of 30 | `error:ECONNRESET`, `close:true` |
| main (release 367d939) | 16 of 30 (8 to 25 over other runs) |
`error:ECONNRESET`, `close:true` |
| main + #38176 | 18 and 26 of 30 | same |
| main + #42336 | 0 and 0 of 30 | `cb:ECONNRESET`, `error:ECONNRESET`,
`close:true` |
| this branch | 0 of 30 | 16 took `end`, `cb:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`,
`error:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`, `close:true` |

For the two PR rows I merged each PR's head into main @a2b69f7b. #38176
merges cleanly. #42336 conflicts in two test files only, which I
resolved to main's side. `src/` and `packages/` merged without
conflicts.

#### Mechanism, traced with the `Socket` debug scope

```
[socket] write(1048576) = 393216      the write takes many send() calls; one of them meets the RST
[socket] onEnd S                      recv() returns 0: the failed send() consumed the error
[socket] onClose S                    hangup, close code 0
```

The TLS write path folds a rejected `send()` to "wire blocked" and keeps
no errno (that is #42336). A plain `net.createServer` does not reach
this state, because `us_socket_write_check_error` reports the errno and
`failWrite` fails the write.

#### What still differs from Node after this change

The sockets that took this path report `'end'`, then
`ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`. Node reports `write ECONNRESET` and no `'end'`. The
errno is gone by the time the close reaches JS, so only the native fix
can restore it. With #42336 the write fails at write time and nothing is
parked at the close, so the two changes do not overlap. If #42336 lands
first, the new test here passes without this change, and this becomes a
guard with no known trigger on Linux.

#### The test

The server runs in a child process so that it can stop polling. It
reports the accepted socket, then blocks in `fs.readSync(0)` until the
test has reset the connection, and only then writes. The write is
therefore the first operation to see the reset on every run, with no
timing involved:

```
node v26.3.0:  write()=false | cb:ECONNRESET | error:ECONNRESET | close:true   connections 0
main:          write()=false | end                                            (nothing more, 3 of 3)
this branch:   write()=false | end | cb:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED | error:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED | close:true   connections 0
```

A socket that never closes gives no event to wait for, so the server
reports when a second connection arrives. That handshake takes several
turns of the server's loop, and the reset socket closes in the first of
them or not at all. The server then destroys both sockets, so the child
exits in both outcomes and the test fails with the recorded state, not
with a timeout (about 2 s on a debug build of main).

The test asserts what holds in Node and on every platform: `'error'`,
then `'close'` with `hadError` true, then a `getConnections()` of 1,
which is the second connection. It also asserts that the child exited on
its own. It does not pin the error code or the write callback. On main
the read-error path never calls a parked write's callback, which is
#43250. If the reset were seen by a read first, a fixed build would
still pass.

#### Overlap with open PRs

#43392 rewrites the same block into a helper and keeps the same
`destroyed || _err` condition, so it does not cover this case. The two
conflict textually in that one hunk. The resolution is to keep its
helper and call it when `kclosed` is set.

### Problem
- `net.Socket#write()` returns `true` when the send fails inside the
same call: the kernel rejects it (`ECONNRESET`, `EPIPE`) or the handle
is already closed (`EBADF`). Node v26.3.0 returns `false` and sets
`socket.errored` before `write()` returns.
- The cause is `Socket.prototype._write` (`src/js/node/net.ts:2968` and
`:2976`). It hands the error to the stream callback with
`process.nextTick`. `Writable.write()` computes its return value before
that tick.

### Fix
- `_write` calls the stream callback with the error in the same call, in
both branches, like Node's `afterWriteDispatched`
([stream_base_commons.js#L158-L159](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v26.3.0/lib/internal/stream_base_commons.js#L158-L159)).
- The stream still runs the write callbacks and destroys the socket on
the next tick. The order of write callback, `'error'` and `'close'` does
not change.
- `_write` does not call `failWrite` there. `failWrite` destroys the
socket at once, so a second write in the same tick would get
`ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED`. Node gives both writes the original errno.
- Verified: `test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts` and
`test/js/node/net/net-syscall-fault.test.ts` (8 new tests, all fail on
main's `src/`). Also node's `test-net-*`, `test-http-*`, `test-tls-*`
and `test-http2-*` files.

### Background
- `Writable.write()` calls `_write(chunk, encoding, callback)`. If
`callback(err)` runs before `_write` returns, the stream sets `errored`
at once and `write()` returns `false`. The user callbacks and the
destroy wait for the next tick.
- The native `$write` returns a negative errno when `send()` fails
because the peer is gone.

### Downsides
- Code that reads `socket.errored` or `socket.writable` right after a
failed `write()` sees the failure one tick earlier. Node reports the
same values.
- A TLS socket still returns `true`. The native TLS write does not
report the errno to `_write` (#42336 adds that).

**Repro** (from a differential run of bun against node):

```js
import net from "node:net";
let accepted, connected, client;
const go = () => {
  if (!accepted || !connected) return;
  accepted.resetAndDestroy();
  const ret = client.write("x", e => console.log("wcb", e ? e.code + " " + e.syscall : "ok"));
  console.log("write() returned", ret, "destroyed=" + client.destroyed, "errored=" + client.errored?.code,
    "writable=" + client.writable, "writableLength=" + client.writableLength);
  console.log("2nd write() returned", client.write("y", e => console.log("wcb2", e?.code, e?.syscall)));
};
const server = net.createServer(s => { s.on("error", () => {}); accepted = s; go(); });
server.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => {
  client = net.connect(server.address().port, "127.0.0.1", () => { connected = true; go(); });
  client.on("error", e => console.log("error", e.code, e.syscall));
  client.on("close", hadError => { console.log("close", hadError); server.close(); });
});
```

node v26.3.0 and this branch (Linux and Windows, line for line):

```
write() returned false destroyed=false errored=ECONNRESET writable=false writableLength=0
2nd write() returned false
wcb ECONNRESET write
wcb2 ECONNRESET write
error ECONNRESET write
close true
```

bun 1.4.3 and main:

```
write() returned true destroyed=false errored=undefined writable=true writableLength=1
2nd write() returned true
wcb ECONNRESET write
wcb2 ECONNRESET write
error ECONNRESET write
close true
```

The same comparison holds for a unix socket whose peer closed (`EPIPE`),
for `socket._handle.close()` followed by `write()` (`EBADF`, `EPIPE` on
Windows), for `cork()` / `uncork()`, and for `end(data)`.

#43705 notes this bug as found on the way and leaves it alone. The two
changes are independent.

**Why the stream still destroys the socket.** The `Socket` constructor
forces `autoDestroy: true`. `Writable`'s `onwrite` sees `state.sync`, so
it queues `onwriteError` with `process.nextTick`. `onwriteError` runs
the write callback, fails the buffered writes with the same error, and
calls `destroy(err)`. This is the path the deferred `failWrite` call
reached before, one tick later.

**Tests**
- `node-net.test.ts`: a unix socket whose peer closed (POSIX, the kernel
reports it inside the peer's `close(2)`), a TCP socket whose peer reset
the connection, a handle that was closed directly, and a corked batch
that `uncork()` sends through `_writev`. The TCP test takes a fresh
connection until the kernel rejects the send, because loopback does not
promise that the RST is processed before the next `send(2)`. On Linux
and Windows the first connection hit in 500 of 500 runs (release
builds), so the loop is a guard for other kernels.
- `net-syscall-fault.test.ts`: an injected `ECONNRESET` / `EPIPE` on the
first `send()`, for the connecting socket and for the accepted socket.
These run on ASAN builds only, where the fault hooks exist.
- With only one of the two branches of the fix applied, the tests of the
other branch fail.
- Windows debug build of this branch: the TCP, closed-handle and corked
tests pass, and `node-net.test.ts` is 114 pass, 0 fail.

**Suites run on the Linux debug build**: `test/js/node/net/*.test.ts`,
`test/js/node/tls/node-tls-{connect,server,upgrade}.test.ts`,
`tls-syscall-fault.test.ts`, and the `test-net-*`, `test-http-*`,
`test-https-*`, `test-tls-*`, `test-http2-*`, `test-child-process-*`,
`test-cluster-*` files of `test/js/node/test`. Every failure there also
fails without this change: the container resolves `localhost` to
`127.0.0.1` only while `Bun.listen("localhost")` binds `::1`, and a few
tests exceed their timeout on a debug build. On Windows,
`test-net-pingpong.js` fails with and without this change (#39723, with
#39727 open for it).

**TLS.** After the peer's raw socket resets, node's `tlsSocket.write()`
also returns `false` with `ECONNRESET`. Bun returns `true`, reports the
write as done and closes without an error, with and without this change.
The native TLS write never returns the errno, so `_write` cannot see the
failure. #42336 makes the native side report it. With both changes the
TLS path reaches the same `res < 0` branch.

**Not changed**: `tlsSocketWrite` in `src/js/node/_http2_upgrade.ts`
treats any truthy `$write` result as success. A TLS handle never returns
a negative errno today, so that path is unaffected.

…ed records dropped, http2 unchanged

A TLS write now learns of a rejected send() through
us_internal_classify_failed_send, the classification plain TCP already
uses, on every platform. The records SSL_write sealed for the failed write
are discarded, so a retry cannot send the same plaintext twice and a close
that follows has nothing undeliverable to wait for.

The HTTP/2 frame parser does not take the report over TLS. Its reaction to a
fatal write is to close the transport, which dropped a response that had
arrived before the reset and gave the session EBADF.

Bun.connect write() and end() return the documented -1 for a fatal send.

This replaces this branch's own variant of the report.

Correction: #43705 no longer carries this change (head 3c6598b416).

For a few hours #43705 included the code of this PR, because it deferred a peer reset for TLS sockets too, and such a socket learns of the reset only from its next write. A review of #43705 said that this send report is its own change and must land on its own. #43705 now defers the reset for plain TCP node:net sockets only, whose write already reports a rejected send() on main. A TLS socket keeps the behavior of main there.

The TLS half of #43705 waits for this PR. It is on the branch robobun/1d28c412/defer-reset-with-tls (d8b0408109): this PR's code merged with main at ad60a9b7bb, the same report for a write to the net.Socket under a TLS socket (us_socket_raw_write_check_error), and a second HTTP/2 test for a response that arrived before the reset. On that branch the four tests of this PR passed on every CI lane, Windows x64 and aarch64 included (build 122105).

This branch conflicts with main and needs a rebase.

… goes back to #42336

A TLS write does not report a rejected send() on main, so a TLS socket that
left the reset in the kernel would never learn of it. That report is #42336
and lands on its own. Until it does, a TLS socket keeps the terminal error
of main, and this branch no longer carries that report, the HTTP/2
exemption or the Bun.connect write() return value.

The opt-out for Windows is by OS: the receive queue is gone after a reset
there, whatever the poll backend is.

…3957)

Follow-up to #43947, which is merged. Rebased on main.

### Problem
- After `shutdown()` or `end()` during a handshake the socket still
seals handshake records. `us_socket_raw_write` sends nothing after a
FIN, so `ssl_flush_write_batch`
(`packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c`) parks them as a spill
that can never drain.
- `us_internal_ssl_close` waits for that spill, so the socket never
closes. The spill holds the loop's one spill slot, so the next
half-closed handshake never finishes.
- No report is linked. 1.4.2 reaches it through `socket.shutdown()`,
node:tls since #42181 (not released).

### Fix
- `ssl_flush_write_batch` and the unbatched path of `BIO_s_custom_write`
drop records that the socket can never send.
- One predicate, `us_internal_socket_can_raw_write`, gates the raw
writes, the raw shutdown and both drops.
- Correct because these records can never reach the peer. Node completes
the same handshakes.
- Verified: 12 new tests, 10 fail without this change when run alone.
Node v26.3.0 passes 34 of 34. Self-reviewed: 16 concerns raised, 14
addressed.

### Background
- A spill is the part of a batch that the kernel did not take. The loop
has one spill slot.
- While the slot is taken, every socket writes record by record.
- Considered a close that ignores the spill, as #43946 does for a
forceful close. The slot stays taken until the close.

### Downsides
- A slow reader still takes the spill slot. This PR removes only the
owner that never lets go.
- The peer never gets the dropped records. Nor does it on the base or on
Node.
- Release `.text`: 58154908 to 58153884 B. Each flush costs 1 more
direct call.

**Cases, each test run alone, on the head of #43947 before its merge
(771b423) and with this change**

Each socket calls `shutdown()` or `end()` while its handshake runs. The
peer keeps the connection open.

| Case | #43947 | This PR |
|---|---|---|
| `Bun.listen`, `requestCert`, `rejectUnauthorized: true`, TLS 1.2,
untrusted client | `handshake(true, authorized=false, error)`, the
socket never closes | same report, then close |
| Same, trusted client (control) | stays open until the client ends the
connection, then both close | same |
| Both rows, while another socket waits for a slow reader | the
handshake never reports | same as the two rows above |
| Two `Bun.connect` clients, TLS 1.3 | `close` never fires | both report
the handshake, both close |
| `Bun.connect` client, TLS 1.2, ended after the server's first flight |
`close` never fires | `handshake(false)`, close |
| `Bun.connect` client that writes to a second TLS socket from its
handshake callback | `close` never fires | the write arrives, close |
| Two `tls.connect` clients, the first (TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2) stays open |
the second never emits `secureConnect` | it emits it, as on Node v26.3.0
|
| `tls.createServer`, TLS 1.2, `end()` in the handshake, untrusted
client (control) | both sockets close | same |
| Four `tls.connect` sockets after one such handshake in the same
process | flight and first write leave in 2 segments | 1 segment |

Run in one process, more tests fail on #43947 than the table shows: a
test that times out leaves the socket that holds the spill slot. That is
also the only way in which `TLS 1.3 client sees 'end', not ECONNRESET,
when the server tears down right after rejecting its certificate
(#40653)` failed. No CI run has shown the lost batching.

The two-client probe gives the same result on the released 1.4.2
(`1.4.2+744846f84`): the second client never reports its handshake.

**Mechanism**

- With batching the handshake records go into the batch, and
`ssl_flush_write_batch` sends them. After a FIN `us_socket_raw_write`
returns 0. The flush parked all of it as a spill and took the spill
slot. A spill drains from the writable event, and a socket that sent its
FIN gets none.
- `us_internal_ssl_close` defers a close with code 0 or 2 while the
socket has a spill.
- Batching needs a free slot (`hs_batching` in
`us_internal_ssl_on_data`, `batching` in `us_internal_ssl_write`). With
the slot taken, `BIO_s_custom_write` writes each record at once. After a
FIN that write returns 0, the BIO asks for a retry, and
`SSL_do_handshake` answers `SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE` until the socket
closes.
- Three places turn a short raw write into a wait for a writable event:
the unbatched write, the flush, and `ssl_drain_spill`. The first two now
drop. `ssl_drain_spill` has no guard on purpose:
`us_internal_ssl_shutdown` defers the FIN behind a spill, and a close
releases the spill, so a socket that sent its FIN has no spill to drain.

**Why a drop is correct**

- SSL counts a sealed record as written. It cannot be sent again, and
after the FIN it cannot be sent at all.
- The base already reports a completed handshake for the first
half-closed socket on a loop: the batch takes the records and the report
runs before the flush. The drop makes the second socket, and a socket
next to a slow reader, behave like the first.
- `us_internal_ssl_write` refuses application data after a FIN, and
`ssl_handle_shutdown` sends no close_notify after one. So only handshake
records and alerts reach the new branches.

**Not in this PR**

- A slow reader takes the spill slot like before. The slot is state of
the loop, and a spill per connection is a different design.
- A close on an open socket whose peer never reads still waits for its
spill. That spill can drain.
- A `send` that the kernel refuses with `ECONNRESET` or `EPIPE` still
parks a spill. That needs the error of the raw write (#42336, #34510),
not the state of the socket.
- An `allowHalfOpen` socket that shut down during its handshake stays
open after the peer's close_notify until the peer's FIN (since 1.4.1,
#40384). Main does the same, and it does not reach the new branches.
- #43946 changes what a forceful close does with a batch that is still
held. It does not cover records that are sealed after a FIN.
- `end()` from the `'connect'` listener sends the FIN before the
ClientHello. Node sends the ClientHello first.

**Self-review**

Rejected, with the reason:

- Move the tests that fail by a timeout into child processes. With this
change no test times out. `afterAll` now releases what a timed-out test
left, so the tests after the block are not affected.
- A test for the case with no relay. The peer has to keep the connection
open after our FIN, and a relay is how a test decides that.

**Measurements**

Call counts are gdb breakpoint hit counts on debug builds with the debug
info stripped. Sizes are from release builds of both trees.

- Healthy handshake, 100 in-process `Bun.listen` / `Bun.connect`
connections: `SSL_do_handshake` 600 and 600, `BIO_s_custom_write` 700
and 700, `ssl_flush_write_batch` 300 and 300, `bsd_send` 600 and 600,
`bsd_recv` 600 and 600, `us_internal_socket_close_raw` 200 and 200.
- Both new branches are behind a write that the wire did not take in
full. A socket that can write pays one more compare there, and nothing
on a full write.
- Release `.text`: 58154908 to 58153884 B (`size -A`). Stripped `bun`:
80844320 B both. `ssl_flush_write_batch` grows from 214 to 254 B and is
no longer inlined into its callers: `BIO_s_custom_write` 683 to 512 B,
`us_internal_ssl_close` 1195 to 999 B, `us_internal_ssl_on_data` 2651 to
2240 B, `us_internal_ssl_shutdown` 608 to 412 B. So each flush is one
direct call more in a release build, 3 per healthy connection pair.
- The shared predicate changes no size: `us_socket_raw_write` 178 B,
`us_socket_raw_writev` 356 B and `us_internal_socket_raw_shutdown` 85 B
before and after.
- Allocations: the change adds none, and a dropped flight saves the
`us_malloc` of its spill.

**Tests**

- `test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts`: 8 new tests, 17 with "while the
handshake runs" in the name. Run alone on #43947, 7 of the 8 fail, and
the trusted TLS 1.2 client is the control.
- `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts`: 3 new tests.
Run alone on #43947, 2 fail, and the TLS 1.2 server is the control. Node
v26.3.0 passes 34 of 34 (`node --test`).
- `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts`: 1 new test, the
one-segment flight. It fails on #43947 with 3 chunks for each
connection.
- The block was run 5 times on this change: 5 passes.
- `test/js/node/tls/` and `test/js/bun/net/` together (728 tests): no
failure is only on this change. Failures on the base too: `SNICallback
runs even when the requested servername matches the bind hostname`,
`should not call drain before handshake`, and tests that wait for a
garbage collection.
- After the rebase on main (ecf3490, with #43947 merged) the two
directories have 802 tests, and 6 fail: 4 tests that wait for a garbage
collection or for workers, a cluster test, and `should not call drain
before handshake`. Each of them fails on main on the test machine too.
Before that rebase, on e375701, the two directories had 765 tests. 6
fail, the same 6 as on #43947 at that base. In one process, #43947 at
that base fails 8 of the 17 tests with "while the handshake runs" in the
name, and the one-segment test.
- The vendored `test-tls-*`, `test-https-*`, `test-http2-*` and
`test-net-*` files: 660 pass, and the 3 that fail do so on #43924 too.
This is a check for regressions only: no vendored file changes its
result with this PR.

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.

…essure (#34510, #38176, #42336)

Every failed TLS write came back as "0 bytes, wait for writable":

- send() rejected (EPIPE, ECONNRESET, ...): us_socket_raw_write folded -1 to 0
  and re-armed writable. The kernel kept reporting writable, so the loop spun
  at 100% CPU (#24845), and a real reset ended as a clean close with the lost
  write reported as done.
- SSL_write failed, or sealed records were lost to an allocation failure: the
  socket was marked fatal and nothing ever closed it.
- SSL_write failed on a later 16 KiB record of one write: a plain partial write.

A rejected send() of sealed records now ends the write side (the state our own
FIN already has, so the BIO and the batch flush drop what can no longer leave)
and asks for one writable event. There, outside any caller's write, the socket
closes with an error, unless the peer's earlier bytes are still queued: then the
read side delivers them first (a 413 sent before the server reset an upload).
A fatal socket is closed at the same boundary. us_socket_write_check_error
reports both: the errno of the send, or EPROTO, so node:tls fails the write like
Node and Bun.connect's write()/end() return the documented -1.

No new per-socket state: one int of loop scratch carries the errno from the raw
send to the write that is still on the stack.

### What does this PR do?

Consolidates the open TLS pull requests into one. Each was reproduced on
`main` and, for `node:*` behavior, on Node v26.3.0 first. About a third
are ported as written, the rest are rewritten smaller or merged into one
fix where several PRs patched the same cause. One commit per fix, so it
can be read commit by commit.

|---|---|---|
| Client certificate disclosure | `https.request()` with a client

#### By area

- **fd engine, write path** (`openssl.c`, `socket.c`): #42352, #34510 +
#38176 + #42336 as one change, #44529, #44458, #44192. A rejected
`send()` ends the write side only and closes at the next writable event
unless the peer's bytes are still queued (a 413 sent before a reset is
still read). No new per-socket state. Also, on kqueue, **a FIN no longer
ends a socket that waits in the low-priority queue** (`loop.c`): with
more than 5 TLS handshakes at once, a client that ended right after its
handshake could be reset and its server socket report `socket hang up`,
because the eof that the sentinel read knote reports was acted on ahead
of the unread Finished. That is on `main` too (the macOS entry for
`node-tls-server.test.ts` in `test/flaky-tests.txt`: 7 of 48 recent
builds of other branches), and this branch made it likelier (6 of 8
builds), since Finished now leaves in one segment with the close_notify.
- **Error reporting, both engines**: #44422, #32929, #44516, #37094,
#41272 + #42324 + #44223 as one change, #44021, #37472, #43946, #33630.
One channel: a fatal error on an established session is reported, then
**the engine closes the connection itself**, whatever the owner does
with the report. `test/js/bun/net/tls-fatal-error-closes.test.ts`
asserts closed-and-nothing-delivered for every owner (node:tls,
`Bun.connect`, `Bun.listen`, `fetch` direct and through CONNECT,
`Bun.serve`, `WebSocket` direct and through a proxy, Postgres, MySQL,
Valkey, Duplex).
- **Duplex engine** (`SSLWrapper`, `UpgradedDuplex`): #44462, #43529,
#42332, #44464. #43877 + #44394 were in and are **out again**, see
"Worth a look" 5.
- **node:tls wrap lifecycle** (`net.ts`, `tls.ts`): #38007, #38058,
#38028 + #38122 + #38076 as one change (six copies of the attach code
become two helpers), #38311, #39008, #38154, #42340 + #42343 + #42339 +
#42453 as one change, #43791, #42425, #44085, #42683, #39088, #39040,
#40375, and what was still real of #36534.
- **SNI, ALPN, server contexts**: #43080, #42050, #37195 + #43849 as one
change (**one** SNI matcher for TCP and HTTP/3), #42355, #42285, #33253,
part of #37896, part of #37013. A `tls.Server` has one `SSL_CTX`.
- **Verification and options**: #44738, #41490, #37005 + the cwd pin of
#40984, #31811, #43982, #33483 + #35245, #41810, #32235, #44441, #38092.
- **node:tls API and CA store**: #41671, #38145, #32824, #43594, #39997,
#41696, #33534, #34748, #42991, #42996, #42970.
- **node:https, Agent, `ws`, node-fetch**: #41672 (https half), #41641,
#38261, #42498, #44346, #35609, #31397, #42325.
- **WebSocket client**: #41648, #37487 + #43048 as one change.

Found on the way and fixed here: an upload that a TLS 1.2 server
interrupts with a renegotiation never completes on `main` (0 of 32 runs
over `https.request`, `fetch`, `node:tls` and `Bun.connect`: the
renegotiation ClientHello lands inside an application record that is
still unsent, or the socket gets no `drain` again) and completes here,
with two tests from robobun; the fix for #40653 (final flight and first
write in one segment) stopped working whenever another TLS socket on the
loop was stalled, on `main` too; the `tls.Server` prototype pinned the
last server constructed and every `SSL_CTX` it owned;
`Object.create(process.env).NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0"` turned
verification off process-wide once a `SHARE_ENV` worker existed; two
debug panics when wrapping a shut-down or still-connecting socket; a
`fetch` POST through a proxy sent its headers twice when the origin
renegotiated; `BlockList` ignored IPv6 zone ids; a test now ties
`root_certs.der` to `certdata.txt`.

#### Behavior changes

- **A server's `ca` without `requestCert` no longer asks for a client
certificate** (`Bun.serve`, `Bun.listen`, HTTP/3, node:tls). It matches
the docs and Node. On `main` such a server refused clients with no
certificate but served any unrelated self-signed one, so it was never
authentication. **Set `requestCert: true` to require a certificate.** A
matrix test pins that `requestCert: true` still refuses no certificate
and an untrusted one on 8 kinds of server, TLS 1.2 and 1.3, with
`NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` unset and `0`.
- `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` no longer relaxes a server.
- `Bun.connect` / `Bun.listen` hear of a fatal TLS error after the
handshake through `error(socket, err)`. With no `error` handler the
socket just closes.
- HTTP/3 server names match like TCP: `*.` covers exactly one label,
case is ignored, a trailing dot is ignored, the last registration of a
name wins.
- `requestCert` on node:https is `=== true`, as in Node.
- An array where a generated options dictionary is expected throws
(`tls: []`, `jest.useFakeTimers([])`).
- `key` / `cert` arrays serve every identity. A client that can use both
gets ECDSA, where `main` served whichever pair came last.
- `ecdhCurve` is forwarded by node:https, `ws` and node-fetch now, so a
group BoringSSL lacks (`X448`) throws there as it already does in
`tls.createServer`.
- A wrapped socket's error is re-emitted on the TLS socket as in Node,
so `raw.destroy(err)` with a listener on `raw` only is uncaught, as in
Node.
- `sql.options.tls` is always an object, never `true`. `RedisClient`
sends SNI.
- `tls: { secureContext }` alone asks for TLS on `Bun.listen` /
`Bun.connect` (it was plain TCP), and a value that is not a
`SecureContext` throws. The context is served as it is: the
`requestCert` / `rejectUnauthorized` it was created with hold whatever
the options next to it say, and `requestCert` in the options over a
context that does not ask throws at `listen()`.
- `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS` reaches every client once assigned (`fetch`,
`WebSocket`, `Bun.connect`, `RedisClient`, `Bun.SQL`, `S3Client`, proxy
tunnels) and servers again. A list that selects no cipher throws
`ERR_SSL_NO_CIPHER_MATCH` at the assignment. `fetch.preconnect()` dials
nothing after an assignment.
- The warning for an unreadable `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` is Node's one
line, without the `warn:` prefix.
- `BUN_CONFIG_WS_CLOSE_TIMEOUT` (default 30 s): how long a `WebSocket`
client waits for the server to close the connection after the closing
handshake.

#### Worth a look in review

1. **#44529**: the kernel-refused remainder of a TLS write moves from
the loop's one slot onto the connection (in the existing rare struct),
so the write BIO never refuses a sealed record. Nothing is allocated on
an unstalled path (200 writes: 0 appends, same `send()` count as
`main`), memory with 16 stalled writers is lower than on `main` (276 KB
vs 340 KB, which `main` holds inside BoringSSL's buffers), `us_socket_t`
stays 80 bytes. It needs a bound on how long a deferred close waits, or
a peer that stops reading pins the fd past `destroy()`:
`US_SSL_CLOSE_AFTER_SPILL_TIMEOUT` is a fixed 10 s, not re-armed on
progress. Separate commits, but the fix that keeps the client
certificate off the wire beside a stalled socket builds on them.
2. **The default name check of node:tls also runs inside the
handshake**, so a wrong-name server gets no client certificate on TLS
1.2 either. JS still runs it after every successful handshake, so a
difference between the two matchers can only refuse. Error objects are
byte-identical.
3. **#44441** widens trust by design: a self-issued leaf whose
`keyUsage` lacks `keyCertSign` (`dotnet dev-certs`) is its own anchor
when the store holds a byte-identical copy. No BoringSSL change. Expired
pin, same subject with another key, wrong EKU and a pinned intermediate
are tested to fail.
4. **#32235** only adds Ed25519 and ECDSA P-521 to the verify list. A
captured ClientHello shows `main`'s list with the two inserted;
`rsa_pkcs1_sha1` stays.

5. **A stream that a TLS socket wraps, when that TLS socket closes.** An
earlier state of this branch lost data here while CI was green (found by
#44709's report): with the peer closing first, 4 of 8 MiB arrived with
TLS in TLS, 4 of 32 MiB on the http2 `emit("connection")` path, and a
`write()` with no `'error'` listener ended the process. Three
Node-parity changes only hold together: destroying the wrapped stream at
the close (#38028 + #38122 + #38076, #38154) is safe only if every write
has really completed (#43877), which in turn needs Node's handling of
the peer's close_notify, which needs half-open sockets that the GC can
collect. So:
- #43877 + #44394 are reverted and reopened. A write over a stream
completes once the stream has taken the ciphertext, as on `main`.
- Until the verdict on the peer lets the session through, the
application cannot have written over it. There the wrapped stream is
destroyed as in Node, with the sessions below it. That keeps the release
of the connection after a failed handshake, a rejected certificate and
an early `destroy()`. The same for an http2 socket the application never
got, and for `resetAndDestroy()`.
- After that it is `main`'s teardown: a `net.Socket` only gets the
engine's `end()`, closes at its peer's FIN, keeps its own timeout and
reports its own errors. Any other stream is destroyed with the TLS
socket.

The regular suites cannot see any of this (999 files were green on every
broken variant), so it was steered by eleven seeded differential fuzzers
run on this build, `main`, Node v26.3.0 and the earlier state: close,
`end()`, `destroy()`, `destroySoon()`, resets, hung and half-open peers,
paused writers, timeouts, two and three sessions deep, over TCP and over
Duplexes, before, at and after the handshake, and http2 requests. See
"How did you verify".

#### Known limits

- `fetch` with a `checkServerIdentity` function still sends the client
certificate (not the request) to a server the function refuses. On TLS
1.2 any verdict a JS callback gives is too late, as in Node.
- `addContext()` / `SNICallback` still do not apply to a server-side
socket on the stream engine (`emit("connection", duplex)`, TLS in TLS,
unflushed writes, named pipes), as on `main`.
- A CA bundled in a pfx extends an explicit `ca` only, for `ws` /
node-fetch / `WebSocket`: the native `ca` can only replace the default
store, and that store keeps `SSL_CERT_FILE` / `SSL_CERT_DIR`.
- P-521 leaves work on TLS 1.3 only. TLS 1.2 needs secp521r1 in every
ClientHello (`it.todo`).
- Once `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS` is assigned, `fetch(url, { protocol:
"http3" })` is `HTTP3Unsupported`, as with an explicit `ciphers`.
- `addCACert()` by hand does not extend the chains of a context with
several identities.
- A throwing `ALPNCallback` sends `no_application_protocol` on both
engines. Node sends nothing and its client sees `ECONNRESET`.
- TLS in TLS, peer FIN while the outer handshake runs: the inner socket
gets one `write EPIPE`, where Node gives `ECONNRESET` (`main` gives it
no error at all).
- `@SECLEVEL` in `ciphers` is dropped by the `ws` / node-fetch shims,
which used to ignore `ciphers`. node:tls keeps throwing
`ERR_SSL_INVALID_COMMAND`.
- Beside a stalled TLS socket only the first record (16 KiB) of the
first write leaves with the handshake flight. The rest goes record by
record, which is what bounds the memory of stalled writers.
- After a fatal error on an established session the socket emits
`'error'` and then `'close'`. Node emits `'error'` and leaves the socket
open.
- A paused reader whose own write the kernel rejects loses what it had
not read yet, with an `EPIPE`, as on Node. `main` reports no error there
and delivers it.
- On `main` too: a `Bun.listen` socket without `allowHalfOpen` that has
unsent ciphertext when the client's `shutdown()` arrives loses that
ciphertext (32 KiB), and over plain TCP `end()` with the peer still
sending is a close over unread input, so a reset.
- Differences from both `main` and Node that the differential runs below
found and that stay, all with a peer that aborts: `ECONNRESET` instead
of a clean `'end'` after the socket's own `'finish'` when the peer
destroyed with unread data; under TLS 1.2, a zero-length `write()`
followed by `destroy()` in `'secureConnection'` leaves the client
without `'secureConnect'` (a plain `destroy()` there matches Node); a
TLS 1.2 client that destroys in `'secureConnect'` gets no `'session'`; a
`ClientRequest` whose handshake fails with an alert emits `'error'` and
`'close'` but no `'finish'` (`writableFinished` is true).
- Once `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS` is assigned, `fetch.preconnect()` opens
nothing: `fetch()` then uses a context of its own, and a socket warmed
under the default one would never be picked up.
- A TLS `send()` that the kernel refuses outside a `write()` call (the
drain of unsent ciphertext) is reported with the close, as `read EPIPE`
/ `read ECONNRESET`. Node says `write EPIPE`. `main` does not report it
at all.
- Once the application has a session over a `net.Socket` (TLS in TLS,
http2 `emit("connection")`), a peer that never sends its FIN holds that
socket after the TLS socket closed, as on `main`. Node destroys it. Two
tests of #38154 are `todo` for this. Closing it any earlier (at its
`'finish'`, say) makes the kernel drop what it has not sent yet as soon
as the peer's close_notify arrives.
- Plaintext that was queued on a socket before it was wrapped (STARTTLS
with a backlog) is dropped when the TLS socket is destroyed, or its
handshake fails, before the session is accepted. Node drops it too,
except on `destroySoon()`. `main` sends it.
- Over a stream that is no `net.Socket`, `end()` can still cut what that
stream has buffered, and there is no backpressure, both as on `main`
(#43877).
- `tls.secureContext` (the undocumented door node:tls uses) is not read
by a Windows named pipe listener, which builds its context from the
options. On `upgradeTLS({ isServer: true })` the options next to it are
the policy, as with Node's `SetVerifyMode`.
- `selectServerName()` rebuilds the name tree per ClientHello for
injected sockets of a server with `addContext()` entries: 0.4 µs for 1
entry, 3.7 µs for 10, 41 µs for 100, against 631–1111 µs for a
handshake.

#### Not included

Left open, because they need a decision or are not TLS: #43877 + #44394
(see "Worth a look" 5; #43874 stays open with them), #38548, #38591
(both shrink who is trusted), #41589 (`verify-full` vs
`NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0`), #37197, #41706, #43216, #33487,
#33545, #36707, #32435, #37255, #28691, #40275, #30314 (features),
#38120 (needs the BoringSSL fork, as did #33517, which the stale bot has
closed since), #38529 (needs a Windows measurement), #34342, #38232,
#43089, #44454, #40451, #42710, #44527, #38088, #38093, #41898. #37896,
#42054 and #37013 stay open for the halves not taken.
`http.createServer({ key, cert })` keeps serving TLS on purpose.

One open question: `tls: {}` (an object that names no TLS option) is
plain TCP on `Bun.listen` / `Bun.connect`, here and on `main`. It is the
same trap as `tls: []`, but changing it changes a Bun default, so it is
left alone.

### How did you verify your code works?

- Every new test fails on `main` for the stated reason and passes here,
except guards that pin existing behavior, each shown to fail when its
clause is removed. `node:*` tests also pass on Node v26.3.0; the few
that cannot say which Node version has the behavior.
- 212 test files that touch TLS, sockets, http, http2, fetch, WebSocket,
SQL, Valkey and workers: 6154 pass, 2 fail. Both are seen on `main` too:
`serve.test.ts` "root range port" (the box runs as root), and
`worker_threads.test.ts` "terminate(): nothing of the worker's runs
after the request", which is flaky there and passed in the run below.
- 58 of those files the way the ASAN lane runs them (LeakSanitizer +
`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks`): 58 files, 48 of them with leak
checking, 4132 pass, 3 fail. All three also fail on `main`:
`serve.test.ts` "root range port", `node-net.test.ts` "should not leak
when connect({path}) fails synchronously on a reused handle" (times out
under this environment), `worker_threads.test.ts` "process.exit() with a
shell cp in flight" (a `ShellCpTask` leak).
- 647 vendored `test-tls-*`, `test-https-*`, `test-net-*`,
`test-http2-*`: the only two failures also fail on `main`.
- The SNI matcher was diffed against both old matchers: 3 seeds × 1.23 M
lookups × 3 registration flavours, every difference in one of the
intended classes, TCP and HTTP/3 identical on every lookup.
- The headline rows were also driven by hand with scripts against this
build, `main` and Node v26.3.0: cleartext https, `crl`, `tls: []` / `{
secureContext }`, the `ca` / `requestCert` matrix, the client
certificate on a wrong-name server, late `setSession()`, `destroy()` in
`ALPNCallback`, `[rsa, ec]` identities with an intermediate from `ca`,
`WebSocket` `checkServerIdentity`, a corrupted record, the Duplex read
above, `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS`.
- The `setSession()` guard was checked against the real `abort()` at 43
handshake states.
- `bun run rust:check-all`: 12 of 12 targets. `tsc`, oxlint, source
lints, prettier, rustfmt, mordant clean.
- usockets' `_Nonnull` is compiled out of debug builds, so 105 of those
files were also run on a local release ASAN build with the CI runner's
environment (92 with leak checking): 4595 pass, 1 fail,
`child_process.test.ts` "spawn reports EPERM after dropping privileges",
which cannot pass as root and fails on `main` too.
- The close of a TLS socket over another stream ("Worth a look" 5):
eleven seeded differential fuzzers, 8,424 scenarios compared, each run
on a release ASAN build of this branch, on `main`, on Node v26.3.0 and
on the earlier state of the branch. Against `main`:
- Data that `main` delivers in full is cut in 5 scenarios, and about 150
that `main` cuts arrive in full. Of the 5, in 2 `main` never notices the
peer's close and keeps the socket for good, 2 call `end()` on the middle
one of three sessions over an in-memory Duplex, and 1 does the same on
Node.
- No dead timeout, no silent reset and no uncaught error that `main`
does not have (4 uncaught errors fewer).
- A socket stays open where `main` closes it in 109, and closes where
`main` keeps it in 295. 92 of the 109 do the same on Node or on the
earlier state (a `destroy()` that an in-memory Duplex does not show its
peer, half-open peers). 14 wait for a peer that paused reading and so
does not read the FIN (#42332's backpressure, as in Node); the socket's
own timeout fires there. 3 are left: one on a 5 ms timer, two with three
sessions over an in-memory Duplex.
- The earlier state of the branch cut data in 173 of the 400 scenarios
of one of them, where `main` cuts none and this cuts none.
- 23 new tests pin what they found. Each earlier attempt at this fix
fails the ones that describe it, the earlier state of the branch fails
7, and all pass on Node.
- After that change: 999 test files on the release ASAN build (20,246
pass; the 11 files that fail need a database, Docker, DNS or a non-root
user, or share a temp directory with a parallel run and pass alone), 61
on the debug build.
- TLS over a file descriptor (`openssl.c`, the path of `fetch`,
`Bun.serve`, `tls.connect`, `Bun.connect`) got the same treatment after
the rebase: seeded differential fuzzers on CI's release build of this
branch, on `main` and, for `node:*`, on Node v26.3.0. Every runtime also
against itself for the noise floor, injected faults and known bugs of
`main` as positive controls, and a difference counts only if it shows in
5 of 5 fresh processes.
- `node:tls` over TCP: 11,500 scenarios (one connection with Node as the
oracle line by line; 2 to 60 connections beside stalled neighbours; raw
peers that break the handshake). HTTPS: about 136,000 runs over
`Bun.serve` + `fetch`, `node:https`, `node:http2` and `wss://`, also
with the two ends in different runtimes. `Bun.connect` / `Bun.listen` /
`upgradeTLS`: 11,500 scenarios and 720 slow connections, with writers
driven by what `write()` returns, beside up to 6 stalled, dripping,
closing or resetting neighbours, and plain TCP as a second oracle. No
crash, hang, duplication, reordering or silent truncation, and no change
in time or in connection reuse.
- They found six things that `main` does better, none of which any test
showed. All are fixed, each with a test that fails on the build before:
what the peer sent lost behind a rejected `send()` (23 scenarios, and an
early HTTPS response lost with only `EPIPE`), the same silently for a
paused reader, `server.close()` never calling back on a half-open server
after a ClientHello and a reset (17), `closeAllConnections()` taking 12
s with a stalled client, `end()` losing up to 1.3 of 4 MiB that
`write()` had reported while the peer still uploads, and `end()` a
little after a stall never closing beside other stalled TLS sockets. The
last two fixes also deliver the 1 to 2 MiB that `main` loses there, and
close the socket that `main` keeps for good without such neighbours.
- All of them again after every fix, on CI's release build of it. That
caught one regression of a fix itself (a reader stopped for backpressure
lost 86,385 bytes, 1 of 6,000 scenarios), fixed too. On the last build:
scenarios that lose data where `main` does not 23 → 2, and Node loses it
in both, with the same `EPIPE`; `server.close()` that never calls back
17 → 0; connections held 4 → 0; requests that end in an error only where
`main` has a response 6 → 0. With a Node server in another process, a
request ends in an error only in 8 and 10 of 1,500 scenarios here, 5 and
3 on `main`, 10 with Node as the client.
- `Bun.connect` / `Bun.listen` on the last build against `main`, in
scenarios: hangs 0 against 1,031, sockets and fds never released 0
against 965, corrupted data 0 against 345, `abort()` 0 against 26
(`setSession()` after the handshake), writers that never close 0 against
101 of 720 connections. No kind of failure shows here and not on `main`.
About a third of the slow connections close later than on `main`, in 1
to 16 s instead of at once, waiting for unsent ciphertext or for the
peer's close_notify, and 79 more of them deliver all that `write()`
reported. RSS and time with 16 to 256 stalled writers are the same.
- What they found that `main` does worse: a `WebSocket` that calls
`close()` with sends pending loses messages in 81 of 999 scenarios (0
here), 37 server sockets left open, 10 `server.close()` that never call
back, 20 write callbacks that never run.
- The kqueue fix cannot be run on Linux. The `connectionListener` count
test now says what became of a missing connection, which is how the
cause was found (`'tlsClientError'` "socket hang up", then `read
ECONNRESET` at the client of the same port, after its
`'secureConnect'`). On macOS x64 it failed every attempt of the three
builds before the fix and passed at the first attempt of the build with
it.
- Windows and macOS were only run by CI. Four new tests asserted what
only the Linux kernel does (a FIN read ahead of a reset, unread bytes
surviving a reset, loopback buffer sizes, `fstat()` on a socket) and now
say so per platform.

Confirmed on linux-x64 with a canary build of main that contains #44618 (1.4.4-canary.1+5f5799ed1):

  • The tests from this PR are on main and pass: the two tls.connect cases in node-tls-connect.test.ts, the two Bun.connect cases in socket.test.ts, and the h2 case in node-http2.test.js. A build from before the merge (367d939d9) fails the four socket cases. The fault-injection test is on main in a wider form, for the client and the server.
  • HTTP/2 over TLS with a reset that a write sees first: the session and the stream now get ECONNRESET (rstCode 2), and a response that arrived before the reset is still delivered first.

Nothing more to do here.
