Problem

• After Readable.fromWeb(stream) ends or is destroyed, a native stream (Blob, Bun.file(), fetch() body) stays readable: finished(stream) never settles. An aborted fetch() body can end like a complete one.
• fromWeb moves the native handle to a NativeReadable (src/js/internal/streams/native-readable.ts). jsFunctionTransferToNativeReadableStream (BunStreamConsumers.cpp:1420) only sets m_transferred. Nothing reports the end.

Fix

• The NativeReadable keeps the stream, closes it at the last chunk or destroy(), and errors it when the source fails.
• It watches the stream's closed promise, as Node watches reader.closed. A falsy abort reason becomes an AbortError, as in Node.
• fromWeb adds signal last. An aborted one ran destroy() before the adapter existed.
• Verified: node-stream.test.js (26 of 29 new tests fail on main), fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts (10 of 11). Also streams.test.js, body.test.ts.

Background

• A NativeReadable pulls from a native stream's Rust source with no reader, so no controller closes or errors the stream. m_transferred locks it.
• finished(stream) waits on the closed promise, which each state change settles.
• Considered: an error that waits for the next read. Then a pipeline() to a stalled destination survives a fetch() abort.

Downsides

• An open Readable.fromWeb() keeps 15 heap objects (main: 10). Its _read() runs 3,540 instructions in the top JIT tier (main: 3,484). child_process pays neither. Binary: +1,761 bytes.
• As in Node, an idle Readable with no 'error' listener gets an unhandled 'error'.
• Merge Bun.serve: keep a complete request body readable after the request ends #39660 first. Without it, a disconnect after a complete upload gives that 'error' to an idle Readable.fromWeb(req.body) (Notes).

Notes

Origin. A differential run against node v26.3.0 after #42416 found this. No user reported it. The readable state and the pending finished() are the same on 1.4.2. #42516 and #42477 (merged) fix the same symptom for the two other takers of a native stream: a body method that lifts the payload, and a native sink. #43699 (merged) fails a native reader that is parked in a read when its fetch() is aborted.

Reproduction.

import { Readable, isReadable } from "node:stream";
import { finished } from "node:stream/promises";
const web = new Blob(["hello"]).stream();
for await (const chunk of Readable.fromWeb(web)) {
}
isReadable(web); // main: true, node and this branch: false
Bun.inspect(web); // main: state: 'readable', this branch: state: 'closed'
await finished(web); // main: never settles

State of the web stream, checked against node v26.3.0 (main is e4c638f):

event	node	main	this branch
read to the end	closed	readable	closed
destroy() or destroy(err), before the first read or after a chunk	closed	readable	closed
break out of for await	closed	readable	closed
abort of the signal option	closed	readable	closed
signal already aborted	closed	readable	closed
the source fails (missing file, dropped connection)	errored	readable	errored

stream.locked is true in every row. finished(stream) settles for a promise requested before or after the end.

Outcome of the Readable after fetch(url, { signal }) and controller.abort(reason), with Readable.fromWeb(res.body):

state when the abort fires	node	main	this branch
a read is parked	reason	reason (#43699)	reason
idle, the consumer reads later	reason	a generic AbortError	reason
idle, the first read runs before the microtasks (abort and resume() in one setImmediate)	reason	a generic AbortError	reason
idle, nothing reads	reason, at once	nothing, the Readable stays open	reason, at once
the body arrived in full before res.body was taken	reason	end	reason

With a falsy reason (null, 0, "", false) this branch gives an AbortError with code ABORT_ERR in all five rows. main gives close only in row 1, a generic AbortError in rows 2 and 3, nothing in row 4 and end in row 5. Node gives an AbortError in all five.

Other ways to error the web stream:

event	node	main	this branch
addAbortSignal(signal, web) aborts under the Readable	AbortError	all the data, then end	AbortError
signal option already aborted, JS source	AbortError, source cancelled	TypeError: Cannot access invalid private field (evaluating 'this.#closed'), source not cancelled	AbortError, source cancelled

One function fails the Readable. fail() takes the error that the web stream already holds, or else errors the web stream with the error of the source. So the result does not depend on which of the two the Readable hears first. After an abort the native source reports a generic AbortError (a ByteStream that nothing was reading, #43699) or an end (a Blob source, which ReadableStream::error only cancels). The web stream holds signal.reason, and that is what the Readable reports. The rejection handler of the closed promise and endOfSource both go through fail(), because process.nextTick work can reach the end of the source before that handler runs. fail() keeps the web stream until _destroy(): destroyer() leaves the Readable alone when readable.req looks like an http request (it calls req.abort(), as in Node), and the end of the source that follows must not pass for an EOF.

A falsy error. Node's adapter calls destroy(readable, error) when reader.read() or reader.closed rejects (adapters.js#L609, #L637-L645). That destroy is destroyer() (destroy.js#L322-L329): a falsy error of an unfinished stream becomes new AbortError(). Under Node, controller.error(null) on a JS source gives the Readable an AbortError with code ABORT_ERR, and the same for 0, "", false and undefined. fail() calls Bun's copy of that helper. Before, destroy(null) only closed the Readable. fetch() passes a falsy reason through unchanged, and main pins that (abort(%p) reaches a native reader unchanged, #43699). Under Node the error is a DOMException, because undici replaces a falsy reason before it errors the body. The reader-based ReadableFromWeb has the same gap on main (close only for controller.error(null)). #43748 changes that class to destroyer(), so this PR does not touch it.

Bun.serve and #39660. The server errors a complete request body when the client disconnects. This handler holds an idle Readable during that:

async fetch(req) {
  await auth(); // the whole 1000-byte upload arrives meanwhile
  const body = Readable.fromWeb(req.body);
  await lookup(); // the client disconnects meanwhile
  await pipeline(body, fs.createWriteStream(path));
  return new Response("stored");
}

	without #39660	with the one functional line of #39660
main	pipeline() resolves, the file has 0 of 1000 bytes	1000 bytes
this branch	Unhandled error (AbortError: The connection was closed.) is reported, pipeline() rejects, 0 bytes	1000 bytes

3 of 3 runs in each cell. The process continues after the report. So this PR turns a silent data loss into a reported one, and #39660 removes the loss. The order: this PR waits for #39660, and it takes no code from it. The functional line of #39660 is this.request_body_take_unref(); in on_buffered_body_chunk (src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs), with its own tests. With an upload that is not complete (400 of 1000 bytes), nothing is destroyed early and pipeline() rejects, on main and on this branch.

Costs, and how they were measured. All numbers compare release builds of the merge base (e4c638f) and of this branch.

• Heap: heapStats().objectTypeCounts after a full GC, over 2,000 open Readable.fromWeb(blob.stream()) and over 60 running children with piped stdout and stderr. An open Readable.fromWeb() keeps 10 objects on main and 15 here, about 235 bytes more. The 5 more are the web stream (main lets it go when the caller drops it), 2 promises (the closed promise and the one then returns), and the rejection handler with its scope. A child keeps 52 objects on main and here: node:child_process does not hand out the web stream of a child's stdio, so constructNativeReadable does not track it. Only constructNativeReadableFromWeb does.
• Native calls: one Readable.fromWeb() makes 3 more. $webStreamClosedPromise when it starts, then that call and closeTransferredReadableStream when the source ends.
• Binary, from size: text 106,379,043 to 106,380,804 bytes (+1,761). data (115,352) and bss (1,823,304) are the same, and so is the file size (106,551,048 bytes).
• Instructions: the user-space count of the hardware instructions counter for the whole process, read through perf_event_open. perf, valgrind and bloaty are not in this container. BUN_JSC_useConcurrentJIT=0 BUN_JSC_useConcurrentGC=0 BUN_JSC_numberOfGCMarkers=1 makes the runs repeat within 0.1%. Each number is a median of 5 to 9 runs.

per unit of work	main	this branch
one _read() of 1 KiB from a Blob stream, top JIT tier (FTL)	3,484	3,540
the same, FTL off	4,706	4,717
the same, baseline JIT only	10,284	10,286
the same, interpreter only	47,731	47,729
one Readable.fromWeb(blob.stream()) of 1 byte, from creation to end	76,790	76,955
one round trip through a child's stdout (cat), with one parked _read()	13,002	13,008

The _read() rows are the slope between 20 and 60 streams of 8 MiB (327,080 more reads). The child row is the slope between 40,000 and 200,000 round trips. Its runs spread by up to 2.2%, so the two numbers are equal.

The 56 instructions in the top tier are one call. On main the FTL inlines handleResult into read. Here handleResult also holds the end-of-source steps, and the FTL calls it from read (both seen with BUN_JSC_dumpGraphAfterParsing=1). With BUN_JSC_maximumInliningDepth=0 the two builds run 4,192 and 4,200 instructions per _read(). A read from a child parks in pull(), so handleResult runs from the promise callback. Both builds compile that path the same way.

read() has a try only around start() and pull(). An earlier revision of this PR put the try in a wrapper function. That cost one more call per _read() in the lower tiers: 79 instructions with the baseline JIT and 311 in the interpreter.

A close in the EOF tick, not at the last chunk, leaves handleResult as on main. It is not used: an abort in the tick of the last pull then fails a Readable that already holds the whole body. a Readable that already holds the whole body still delivers it and ends pins the other result.

Why destroy(err) closes and does not error. Node's _destroy runs reader.cancel(error). ReadableStreamCancel runs ReadableStreamClose whatever the reason is. Bun's reader-based ReadableFromWeb already does the same for a JS source. Only a failure of the source errors the stream. The NativeReadable sees such a failure as a throw from start()/pull() inside _read (Start::Err, streams::Result::Err), or as a rejected pull() promise. The web stream stores the same error object that the Readable emits.

The reference to the web stream is strong on purpose. A pending await finished(web) does not root web. The NativeReadable is what settles that promise, so it has to keep the stream alive, as the reader does in Node.

The stream closes when the handle reports done, not when the Readable emits end. A Blob stream of 9 chunks is closed when the consumer gets chunk 9. Node closes a byte stream when its queue drains, at the same point.

A transferred stream has no reader, so readableStreamCloseIfPossible and readableStreamError only change m_state and settle the closed promise. No user code runs. The closed promise rejects with rejectAsHandled, so an errored stream that nothing observes reports no unhandled rejection.

Body methods after fromWeb consumed response.body give the same results as before (bodyUsed, text(), clone(), new Response(body), tee(), pipeTo(), getReader(), Bun.write). The lock decides them, not the state.

The signal option. fromWeb checks the shape of signal before it takes the stream, so an invalid value leaves the stream usable, as on main. A value that passes the check but has no addEventListener() makes addAbortSignal throw after the adapter exists. fromWeb then destroys the adapter, which cancels the web stream, and throws the error again. fromWeb passes only highWaterMark, encoding and objectMode to the native path, as it already did for the reader path and as Node does. Before, the native path gave the raw options object to new Readable(), so it also honored emitClose, autoDestroy and construct. A falsy signal (null, false, 0, "") means no signal, as before and as in Node, whose Readable constructor checks if (options.signal) (readable.js#L358).

Not changed. isDisturbed(stream) is true right after fromWeb() (the transfer sets m_disturbed). Node reports false until the first read. An idle Readable learns of a failure of its source (a dropped connection) at its next read, and Node fails it at once. A Readable that holds the whole body when the abort fires delivers it and ends, as in Node. One case differs: read(0) and the abort in the same tick. Node's adapter reads asynchronously, so it holds nothing yet and fails. The native path pulls inside read(0), holds the body, and ends.

Other PRs on these lines. #43713 and #43748 are stacked on this branch. #42281 (open) moves the claim of the handle into transferToNativeReadable and builds the Readable in a new fromNativeHandle. It and this PR edit the same lines of constructNativeReadable and newStreamReadableFromReadableStream, so the second one to merge gets a conflict on purpose. The resolution: its tryConstructNativeReadable (the fromWeb entry) sets kWebStream and the closed-promise handler, its catch closes the web stream, and signal stays out of the options bag.

Self-review. The first review raised 8 concerns. Addressed: the abort that read as a clean end, the already aborted signal (two concerns, fixed once in newStreamReadableFromReadableStream), and the history in this text. Not done: the stack on #42281 (two concerns, see above) and a second copy of the tests for node --test (two concerns, optional). A second review covered the follow-up (the falsy reason, the order of the first read, the child_process opt-out). It raised 2 concerns, both addressed: fail() dropped the web stream before destroyer() ran (see above, with a test), and the tracking property was absent on a child's stream (it is now an own property of every native Readable). After that review, read() lost its wrapper function (see the costs above).

Fail before. With src/ from main (e4c638f): 26 of the 29 new tests in node-stream.test.js fail, and 10 of the 11 new or changed tests in fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts. None hangs. The four that pass are controls. An invalid signal is rejected before the stream is taken. A falsy signal is no signal. A parked read gets the abort reason (main has that since #43699). A Readable that already pulled a whole buffered body still ends.

The two changed test files also pass with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1. tsc -p src/js/tsconfig.json reports 0 errors. fetch-backpressure.test.ts: its two Readable.fromWeb tests pass. When the whole file runs on the debug build, 1 or 2 of its 127 tests hit the 5 s timeout. They differ from run to run, read through a reader and not through Readable.fromWeb, and pass alone.

ASan. Checked at 8776e0c (this branch merged with main a2b69f7) on a debug build with ASan. The stress runs Readable.fromWeb over 10 native sources: Blob, a Response body, Bun.file(), a fetch() body, a fetch() body that stalls, Bun.spawn() stdout, a missing file, a dropped connection, and two streams whose reader was taken and released first. Each source stops in 11 ways (the stalled body skips the first one): read to the end, destroy() with and without an error (before the first read and after a chunk), break, an abort, a signal that is already aborted, an abort of the web stream under the Readable, and two cases that abandon the Readable to the GC. A forced GC follows each cell. 1,090 cells ran with the default allocator, 654 with Malloc=1 (system malloc, so ASan also sees JSC memory), 218 with BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1, and 1,090 with both. ASan reported nothing, and finished(web) settled in each cell that did not abandon the Readable. node-stream.test.js also passes with Malloc=1.

The strong reference does not retain abandoned pairs. Of 1,000 abandoned Readable and web stream pairs per scenario (never read, or paused after the first chunk, over Blob, Bun.file() and fetch() bodies), at most 1 of each is alive after a full GC, tracked with WeakRef. A build without this change gives the same count. The reference cycle (the Readable holds the stream, and the closed-promise handler of the stream holds the Readable) is inside the JS heap, so the GC collects it.

A failure in this container with and without the change: child_process.test.ts "spawn still works with more than 10240 fds open" (the fd limit here is 1024).

Walkthrough

Native readable adapters now retain transferred web streams and update their state on completion, errors, and destruction. Signal validation and attachment occur after adapter initialization. Tests cover stream lifecycle behavior and abort handling for response bodies.

Changes

Readable stream lifecycle handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Native stream lifecycle propagation src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/BunStreamConsumers.*, src/js/internal/streams/native-readable.ts	The native readable retains its transferred web stream. It closes the stream on completion or destruction and propagates stream failures.
Signal-safe adapter setup src/js/internal/webstreams_adapters.ts	The adapter factory validates the signal, initializes the adapter without it, and attaches it after construction. Attachment failures destroy the adapter and rethrow.
Readable.fromWeb lifecycle tests test/js/node/stream/node-stream.test.js	Tests cover completion, cancellation, aborts, source failures, and signal validation for native-backed streams.
Fetch body abort behavior test/js/web/fetch/fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts	Tests cover abort reasons for buffered and unread response bodies consumed through Node stream adapters.

Suggested reviewers: dylan-conway, cirospaciari

Priority: ⬆️ High

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4facf

A slow delivery can fail the new lifecycle tests before their intended assertions run. The stream error paths appear sound for the inspected sources, so the change is otherwise mergeable with a test-stability follow-up.

Status

Reproduced on bun 1.4.3 and on main (e4c638f, Linux x64, debug build) with this script:

import { Readable, isReadable } from "node:stream";
import { finished } from "node:stream/promises";
const web = new Blob(["hello"]).stream();
for await (const chunk of Readable.fromWeb(web)) {
}
console.log(isReadable(web), Bun.inspect(web)); // main: true, state: 'readable'. node v26.3.0: false, state: 'closed'
await finished(web); // main: never settles

The second part is an error of the web stream that an idle Readable does not get. A server sends a part of the body and holds the rest. The script calls fetch(url, { signal }) and Readable.fromWeb(res.body), then abort(reason), then reads. main gives a generic AbortError, and end when the whole body had arrived before res.body was taken. Node v26.3.0 gives reason in both cases. With a falsy reason (controller.abort(null)) and a read that waits, main emits close only, and Node emits an AbortError.

The third part: Readable.fromWeb(rs, { signal }) with a signal that is already aborted, over a JS source. main emits TypeError: Cannot access invalid private field (evaluating 'this.#closed') and does not call cancel() of the source. Node v26.3.0 emits AbortError and calls cancel().

With src/ from main, 26 of the 29 new tests in test/js/node/stream/node-stream.test.js fail, and 10 of the 11 new or changed tests in test/js/web/fetch/fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts. With this branch they all pass.

Fix: this PR (#42584).

This branch conflicts with main since #43739 landed. The conflict is in src/js/internal/streams/native-readable.ts. #43713 and #43748 are stacked on this branch, so they wait for it.

The conflict has three sites, and all three are the same. Each site had process.nextTick(() => { stream.push(null); }). #43739 replaced that with process.nextTick(pushEof, stream), where pushEof() skips the push when the stream is destroyed. This PR replaced it with endOfSource(stream).

This resolution passes the tests of both changes. Keep endOfSource(stream) at the three sites, and let endOfSource() schedule pushEof:

   closeWebStream(stream);
-  process.nextTick(() => {
-    stream.push(null);
-  });
+  process.nextTick(pushEof, stream);
 }

I checked it on a local merge of main (a4f1429) into this branch, with a debug build:

• test/js/node/stream/node-stream.test.js: 139 pass, 0 fail. That includes the tests of this PR and the destroy() inside a 'data' listener tests of node:stream: stop 'data' and 'end' after destroy() on a native-backed Readable #43739.
• test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdio-syscall-error.test.ts: 13 pass, 0 fail.
• test/js/node/child_process/child_process.test.ts: the two destroy() inside a 'data' listener tests pass. The two execFile() maxBuffer against a fast writer tests time out on my machine. They also time out there with the src/ of main, so this PR is not the cause.

#43713 and #43748 merge on top of that result without a conflict. I did not push to this branch.

[robobun]

Merged main (620b50f6ab) in fe8b4ef, with the resolution from the comment above. The three EOF sites keep endOfSource(stream), and endOfSource() schedules pushEof from #43739.

On a linux-x64 debug build:

• test/js/node/stream/node-stream.test.js: 139 pass, 0 fail. 25 of them fail without this PR's src/.
• test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdio-syscall-error.test.ts: 17 pass, 0 fail, with a 60 s test timeout. With the default timeout, four node:child_process cases time out on my machine, with and without this PR's src/.
• test/js/node/child_process/child_process.test.ts: the two destroy() inside a 'data' listener tests pass with a longer timeout. The full file has 8 failures on my machine with and without this PR's src/ (timeouts, and one fd limit).

#43713 and #43748 are stacked on this branch. I did not push to them.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

[robobun]

I ran this branch (fe8b4ef) against a case that the description does not list. The branch fixes it.

The case. fetch() receives the whole body before the script takes res.body. The script calls Readable.fromWeb(res.body). Then the signal aborts. On main the Readable ends cleanly with the bytes that it already read, and pipeline() resolves.

State at abort()	main 620b50f	this branch	Node v26.3.0
Readable has not read yet (1000-byte body)	'end' after 0 bytes	fails with signal.reason	fails with signal.reason
pipeline(readable, sink) starts after the abort	resolves, 0 bytes written	rejects with signal.reason	rejects with signal.reason
Readable is paused mid-read (256000-byte body)	'end' after 81920 bytes, 3 of 3 runs	AbortError after 81920 bytes, 3 of 3 runs	fails with signal.reason
Body finishes after res.body is taken, Readable is paused (256000-byte body)	'end' after 167936 bytes, 3 of 3 runs	AbortError in 2 of 3 runs, all 256000 bytes in 1 of 3	AbortError, 3 of 3 runs

All Bun numbers are from debug builds on Linux x64.

Cause on main for the first three rows. A fully buffered body is a Blob source (ByteBlobLoader). ReadableStream::error (src/runtime/webcore/ReadableStream.rs:291) reports the error to a Bytes or a File source (#43699) and only cancels a Blob source. The next pull then answers Done. This branch needs no source arm, because the Readable takes the error from the web stream.

Tests. Branch robobun/214e57b0/fetch-abort-buffered-cells (commit 71b37ce) adds five cells to test/js/web/fetch/fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts: an idle Readable.fromWeb(), an idle Duplex.from(), a mid-read Readable, pipeline(), and a control for a Readable that already pulled the whole body. They assert toBe(signal.reason). On main 4 of 5 fail. With this branch 5 of 5 pass, in 3 of 3 runs. Take them into this PR if they are useful. The fourth row has no cell, because its outcome depends on timing.

One existing test changes. Readable.fromWeb(res.body) that has not read yet fails with an AbortError (same file, from #43699) calls abort(new Error("custom")) and expects name === "AbortError". With this branch the Readable gets the reason itself, so the test receives "Error".

Order with #39660. Bun.serve errors a complete request body at the end of the request when the handler took req.body after the body arrived. With this branch alone, an idle Readable.fromWeb(req.body) is then destroyed at once, before the handler attaches a consumer. This handler gets an uncaught 'error' event in 3 of 3 runs when the client disconnects during lookup(). On main it writes an empty file and resolves.

async fetch(req) {
  await auth(); // the whole upload arrives meanwhile
  const body = Readable.fromWeb(req.body);
  await lookup();
  await pipeline(body, fs.createWriteStream(path));
  return new Response("stored");
}

I added the one functional line of #39660 to this branch (this.request_body_take_unref(); in the buffering last arm of on_buffered_body_chunk). The same handler then writes all 1000 bytes in 3 of 3 runs, and the two paused-Readable rows above keep their results. So #39660 has to merge first, or its line has to be part of this PR.

A source-level alternative that I do not propose. Branch robobun/214e57b0/blob-source-error-arm gives ReadableStream::error a Blob arm. It fixes the first three rows with a generic AbortError at the next pull. It does not fix the fourth row, and it never reports signal.reason. This PR covers more.

Pushed b444898 and 80be1f3.

• The run on fe8b4ef (Buildkite 123906) was red on every platform in one test: Readable.fromWeb(res.body) that has not read yet fails with an AbortError in test/js/web/fetch/fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts. fetch: fail a native reader of an aborted res.body with signal.reason #43699 added that case. It expects a generic AbortError. With this branch the Readable takes the error of the web stream, so it gets signal.reason itself, as in Node. I did not run that file before the push of 10-08.
• 80be1f3 changes the case to expect(await settled).toBe(reason) and renames it.
• b444898 merges main (e4c638fab6). There was no conflict.

Reject explicitly supplied falsy signals.

Readable.fromWeb() currently treats null, false, 0, and "" as omission. These values bypass validateAbortSignal() and abort-listener attachment. This violates the signal?: AbortSignal contract and silently disables cancellation handling.

Suggested fix

-  if (signal) validateAbortSignal(signal, "signal");
+  if (signal !== undefined) validateAbortSignal(signal, "options.signal");
...
-  if (signal) {
+  if (signal !== undefined) {

On the review note about a falsy signal (src/js/internal/webstreams_adapters.ts:597-603): not changed, because Node does the same.

Node's Readable constructor adds the signal only when it is truthy: if (options.signal) addAbortSignal(options.signal, this) (readable.js#L358-L359). Checked with Node v26.3.0, with the merge base and with this branch: Readable.fromWeb(stream, { signal }) accepts null, false, 0 and "" for a JS source and for a native source. It throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE (The "signal" argument ...) for {}, "abc" and 1. A signal !== undefined check would make { signal: null } throw in Bun only.

4facfa4 adds a test that pins this: Readable.fromWeb takes a falsy signal for no signal.

[claude]

I reviewed the latest push (the narrowed try/catch in read() and the falsy-signal test) and found no bugs; since this changes how a transferred web stream's state is settled from the Node side, a maintainer look is still worthwhile before merging.

What was reviewed in this push:

• read(): a throw from ptr.start()/ptr.pull() reaches fail() with kPendingRead still false and kConstructed unchanged, so _destroy still cancels the handle and nothing is left half-pending.
• jsFunctionCloseTransferredReadableStream: on a transferred stream readableStreamClose finds no reader, so it only flips m_state and settles the closed promise; no user JS runs under that call.
• fail() ordering: when the closed promise is already rejected the stored reason wins over the source's generic error, and _destroy's later close is a no-op on an errored stream.

Extended reasoning...

The diff adds a web-stream tracking layer to the native Readable.fromWeb path (src/js/internal/streams/native-readable.ts), moves signal handling after construction in src/js/internal/webstreams_adapters.ts, and adds one small C++ host function in BunStreamConsumers.cpp that closes a transferred JSReadableStream; it touches no auth, injection or data-exposure surface. The two commits since the last review narrow the try/catch to the two native calls and add a test plus a comment on the aborts: 1 assertion; I checked that destroyer() marks the Readable with kIsDestroyed so a second call short-circuits. The change is not approvable as mechanical: it alters observable stream state across fetch abort, Blob, file and child-process sources and relies on a deliberate strong reference for GC behavior, so a human familiar with the streams code should weigh it. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files, and the hunt ran dry with no findings.
