additionalHeaders() converts :status with | 0 before the 101 and 1xx checks, and adds no default :status when the block has none. respond() rejects a 1xx status with ERR_HTTP2_STATUS_INVALID. respondWithFile() and respondWithFD() convert :status before the 204/205/304 check, so a string status throws ERR_HTTP2_PAYLOAD_FORBIDDEN as in node.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the compat-layer callers of additionalHeaders() (writeContinue, writeInformation, writeEarlyHints in src/js/node/http2.ts:1175-1223) — each always passes a numeric 1xx :status, so removing the default-200 injection and adding the |= 0 coercion does not change their behavior.
Extended reasoning...
Findings were reported inline, so this body only records what else was examined. The three Http2ServerResponse methods that call stream.additionalHeaders() all supply :status as a number literal or an already-validated integer (writeInformation validates typeof === "number" and the 100-199 range before calling), so the new != null guard and |= 0 coercion are no-ops for them and the dropped default :status: 200 is never relied on by those paths. The respond() range tightening to 200-599 likewise does not affect writeHead, which passes the compat layer's own validated status.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

src/js/node/http2.ts— A server calling respondWithFile() on a directory, or respondWithFD() on a bad fd, with a 1xx :status now crashes the process with an uncaught exception; the base sent the block and destroyed the stream. doSendFileFD calls this.respond() at src/js/node/http2.ts:2967 and :2986 with no try/catch, and respond() at :3591 now throws ERR_HTTP2_STATUS_INVALID for 100 and 102..199 where the old< 100check let them through. Fix: validate the 200..599 range synchronously in respondWithFile()/respondWithFD() (node's prepareResponseHeadersObject) and wrap the two error-path respond() calls like the one at :3043 so any throw goes to onError/destroy. [also at: src/js/node/http2.ts:3395 - A server calling respondWithFile()/respondWithFD() with a 1xx or >599 :status gets no synchronous error like node; the stream is destroyed asynchronously with ERR_HTTP2_STATUS_INVALID instead.]Extended reasoning...
Server: stream.respondWithFile('/tmp', { ':status': 102 }) or stream.respondWithFD(9999, { ':status': 102 }). respondWithFile() at src/js/node/http2.ts:3335 coerces 102 and only checks 204/205/304, so it returns normally. fs.open succeeds on a directory; afterOpen at :3132 calls fs.fstat with doSendFileFD. stat.isDirectory() is true, so :2982 builds ERR_HTTP2_SEND_FILE and, with no onError, :2986 calls this.respond(headers, options). respond() reaches :3591: 102 < 200 throws ERR_HTTP2_STATUS_INVALID. The throw happens inside the fs.fstat callback, not inside respondWithFile(), so the user's try/catch cannot catch it; it becomes an uncaughtException and kills the process. For respondWithFD with a bad fd, fstat returns EBADF and :2967 hits the same unguarded respond(). On the base commit the same call at :3591 was
< 100 || > 599, so 102 passed, the 102 HEADERS block was sent and the stream destroyed with ERR_HTTP2_SEND_FILE; no process crash. Only :3043 has a try/catch; :2967 and :2986 do not. Node's…Verification: normal — triggers when a server calls respondWithFile()/respondWithFD() with a 1xx :status (100 or 102..199, number or string) and no options.onError, and the target is a directory, a non-regular file with offset/length, or an fd whose fstat fails.

src/js/node/http2.ts— Pre-existing: a Bun http2 server answering a HEAD request throws ERR_HTTP2_PAYLOAD_FORBIDDEN from any 1xx block, where node sends it. In additionalHeaders() the payload-forbidden check at src/js/node/http2.ts:3477-3484 tests this.headRequest, which node's additionalHeaders() does not have. A HEAD request carrying expect: 100-continue reaches response.writeContinue() at src/js/node/http2.ts:1247 inside Bun's own stream dispatch, so the throw is uncaught. Fix: drop the 204/205/304/headRequest block from additionalHeaders() so every 1xx (writeContinue, writeInformation, writeEarlyHints, direct calls) is sent for HEAD like node; the 1xx range check above already excludes 204/205/304. …Extended reasoning...
…The PR notes list this HEAD branch as excluded; the uncaught throw on the compat path is the reason it still matters.
The PR moves the payload-forbidden block into the new
!= nullstatus branch but keepsthis.headRequestin it (src/js/node/http2.ts:3481). Node's ServerHttp2Stream.additionalHeaders() only checks 101 and the 100..199 range; it has no payload/HEAD check because an informational block carries no payload. Trigger 1: compat server, client sends HEAD withexpect: 100-continueand no checkContinue listener. onServerStream at src/js/node/http2.ts:1243-1247 calls response.writeContinue() → additionalHeaders({':status': 100}). kHeadRequest was set at src/js/node/http2.ts:4130 before the 'stream' emit at 4154, so this.headRequest is true and 3483 throws ERR_HTTP2_PAYLOAD_FORBIDDEN out of Bun's own listener; no user code can catch it, it surfaces as an uncaught exception. Node sends 100 Continue and then emits 'request'. Trigger 2: res.writeEarlyHints({link: ...}) or stream.additionalHeaders({':status': 103}) for a HEAD request (frameworks emit 103 for GET and HEAD alike)…Verification: pre-existing; acknowledged in diff: the PR description says "The HEAD branch of additionalHeaders() (this.headRequest inside the status block) is untouched. The issue lists it as a separate bug." — accurate, the base commit has the identical
this.headRequestclause inside itsif (hasStatus)block, so merging makes nothing worse, but the PR rewrites the enclosing conditional (now `if…

respondWithFile() and respondWithFD() check the range before the file is opened, as node's prepareResponseHeadersObject does. Before this, a 1xx status reached respond() inside the fstat callback, where the throw is uncaught.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline note, I also checked two things the narrowed ranges could have broken: the compat layer (writeHead already rejects 1xx at src/js/node/http2.ts:863, and writeContinue/writeInformation/writeEarlyHints send numeric 1xx through additionalHeaders(), so none reach the tightened respond() check), and caller-object mutation (all three sites spread-copy headers before the |= 0 write). Nothing in test/js/node asserts the old 100..199 respond() acceptance or the old default :status: 200 in additionalHeaders().
Extended reasoning...
The latest push adds the 199/599/600 boundary cases raised in the previous round, so the test now exercises each clause of the three range checks. The remaining inline finding (options validation ordering in respondWithFile/respondWithFD versus Node's processHeaders placement) is a minor contract-ordering nit. I additionally traced the compat-layer callers of respond() and additionalHeaders() and confirmed no internal path sends a 1xx through respond(), verified that the |= 0 writes land on a spread copy rather than the user's object, and grepped the Node-derived tests under test/js/node/test/parallel for assertions on the old behaviour (none). Test execution was not available in this environment, so the pass/fail claims in the description are unverified here, which is why this is a defer rather than an approve.

LGTM — the latest push puts the option checks ahead of the status checks in respondWithFile()/respondWithFD(), which was the last open point from my earlier passes.
What was reviewed:
- The four
:statussites (respond()object and raw-array forms,respondWithFile(),respondWithFD(),additionalHeaders()) against node'sprocessHeaders/additionalHeadersorder and 200..599 / 100..199 ranges — all consistent, and|= 0runs on the spread copy so the caller's headers object is not mutated. - The new test covers string coercion, the 199/200/599/600 boundaries, both file entry points, and the doubly-invalid
/file-600-bad-offsetordering case, so each clause of the new range checks is load-bearing.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR touches only src/js/node/http2.ts (the ServerHttp2Stream class) and adds one test to test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js. In respondWithFile() and respondWithFD() the options.offset/length/statCheck validation moves before the status handling, the status is coerced with |= 0 and range-checked to 200..599 before the pre-existing 204/205/304 check. additionalHeaders() no longer injects a default :status: 200 and coerces a present status before the 101 / 100..199 checks. respond() narrows its range check to 200..599 and drops the now-redundant dedicated 101 throw. The five commits since the initial push each addressed an inline comment from earlier runs (synchronous file-path range check, boundary coverage, option/status ordering).
Security risks
None specific to this change. The code validates server-supplied header values before handing them to the native HPACK encoder; the coercion happens on a spread copy of the caller's headers object, and all thrown errors go through the $ERR_* machinery. No untrusted network input is parsed here.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate: this is a user-visible behavior change in a Node compat module, so the check is "does it match node exactly". I compared the control flow to node's lib/internal/http2/core.js (processHeaders range check of 200..599 with ERR_HTTP2_STATUS_INVALID, additionalHeaders |= 0 under a != null guard with ERR_HTTP2_STATUS_101 then ERR_HTTP2_INVALID_INFO_STATUS, and the respondWithFile/respondWithFD option checks running before processHeaders). All sites line up, including the raw-array form of respond(), which also reaches the narrowed range check. The two remaining divergences (null/0 status not defaulting to 200 in the object form; the client emitting 'response' for a block without :status) are pre-existing, were raised inline in earlier runs, and are called out by the author as intentionally left out of scope.
Other factors
The bug hunt ran dry with no findings. The new test drives 13 paths through a single server/client pair, asserts the exact err.code per path via toEqual, and covers both boundaries of the new range checks plus the doubly-invalid ordering case, so removing any clause of the new checks would fail at least one assertion. Cleanup uses try/finally consistent with the surrounding tests in the file. The duplicated validation block across respondWithFile()/respondWithFD() predates this PR (the option checks were already duplicated) and is not worth blocking on.

Problem
ServerHttp2Streaminnode:http2checks the:statusheader differently than Node v26.3.0.additionalHeaders({ ":status": "101" })sends the block instead ofERR_HTTP2_STATUS_101.additionalHeaders({ "x-foo": "bar" })adds a:status: 200that Node does not add.respond({ ":status": 102 })sends a 1xx response instead ofERR_HTTP2_STATUS_INVALID.respondWithFile(path, { ":status": "204" })andrespondWithFD()send the response instead ofERR_HTTP2_PAYLOAD_FORBIDDEN.src/js/node/http2.ts.additionalHeaders()(line 3468) and the two file methods (lines 3335 and 3395) compare the raw header value with===, so a string status passes every check.additionalHeaders()defaults a missing:statusto 200.respond()(line 3598) accepts 100..599 where Node accepts 200..599.Fix
additionalHeaders()converts:statuswith| 0before the 101 and range checks, as Node'score.jsline 3198 does. A block without:statusgoes out as given.respond()rejects a status below 200 withERR_HTTP2_STATUS_INVALID, as Node'svalidatePreparedResponseHeadersdoes. The separate 101 check is gone because 101 is now inside that range.respondWithFile()andrespondWithFD()convert:statuswith| 0and reject a status outside 200..599 before the 204/205/304 check, as Node'sprepareResponseHeadersObjectdoes. Before, a 1xx status reachedrespond()inside the fstat callback, where the throw is uncaught.test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js(fails on the released bun, passes with the fix, same results asnodev26.3.0). Alsotest-http2-status-code-invalid.js,test-http2-info-headers.js, thetest-http2-respond-file*.jstests and thetest-http2-compat-serverresponse-write*.jstests.Background
additionalHeaders()sends an informational (1xx) HEADERS block before the final response.respond()sends the final response. Node splits the valid status range between the two: 100..199 (minus 101) for the first, 200..599 for the second.:statusas a number. The| 0conversion turns a string such as"204"into204before any comparison, and a non-numeric value into0.:statusis a protocol error for the client. Node's client closes the stream withNGHTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERRORand emits no'response'. Bun's client emits a'response'with no:statusfirst, then the same error. The test asserts only the error. The client check is a separate gap.Notes
respond()does not default a coerced 0 to 200 as Node does. Bun's client emits'response'for a HEADERS block without:statusbefore the stream error.additionalHeaders()(this.headRequestinside the status block) is untouched. The issue lists it as a separate bug.node-http2.test.jsrun, theDATA payload survives its ArrayBuffer being detached/resizedblock has tests that take 3 to 5 seconds each under the debug build on this machine and hit the 5 s timeout. The same tests time out on main with the same build. They do not touch the changed code.Fixes #43447
