Problem

  • A socket.write(chunk, cb) that waits for the socket runs its callback, 'drain' and 'finish' with the AsyncLocalStorage store of connect() or listen(). Node 26.3 uses the write's store. On a keep-alive connection that is another request's.
  • The write slot in src/js/node/net.ts (kwriteCallback) kept the bare callback. Socket events complete it, in the context that opened the socket (src/runtime/socket/Handlers.rs:173).

Fix

  • _write binds the waiting callback to its own async context (waitedWrite). What is queued behind that write completes there too, as in Node.
  • The same rule covers TLS end() before the handshake, 'upgrade' and CONNECT sockets, and ServerResponse.
  • 'close' stays where the socket's events run.
  • Verified: nine fixtures under Node and Bun (66 rows fail on main), net-syscall-fault.test.ts, module-graph-net-write.test.ts. Self-reviewed: 36 concerns raised, 33 addressed.

Background

  • The write slot holds the callback of a write that the kernel took part of. Socket events call it.
  • runInSameGraph never installs a context of another Bun.ModuleGraph than the socket's. Those cases behave as on main.
  • Considered a { callback, frame } record: every reader of the slot changes. A native write request adds a branch per drain on every socket.

Downsides

  • A waiting write costs one bound function (96 B). A socket whose write completed in another context keeps 160 B. Binary: +4.6 KB.
  • A reset or a bad TLS record that fails a waiting write reports 'error' in the write's store. Main used the socket's.
  • ClientRequest 'drain' runs in the write's store. 1.4.0 to 1.4.3 used the request's.
Notes

The rule. A write that waits for its handle completes in the async context in which _write handed it to the handle. The stream issues a queued write from the completion of the write before it, so a queued or corked write, an end() callback and 'finish' complete in the context of the write they are behind. A write issued while the socket connects is issued from 'connect'. This is what Node's write request does (lib/internal/stream_base_commons.js, createWriteWrap and onWriteComplete). All of it was measured against Node v26.3.0. The fixtures also pass on Node 24.22.0 and 26.12.0.

Rows against Node 26.3 (Linux x64, debug build, main's builtins against this branch's).

Probes Rows Differ on main Differ on this branch
node:net and node:tls sockets (12 scripts) 147 78 9
ServerResponse, 12 write and end orders, listen() 36 29 0
ServerResponse, same orders, emit("connection") 36 34 0
ClientRequest on a reused keep-alive connection 36 23 0
Teardown with a write waiting, 8 orders, client reconnects from 'close' 75 4 0
The same over TLS, 4 orders 32 2 0

No row of these that equals Node on main differs on this branch. The 9 rows that remain are the same on main: 'close' after an explicit destroy() runs where destroy() was called (4 rows, Node: where the socket was opened), the events of an accepted socket run in the store of listen() (2), a TLS handshake that fails under a write reports 'error' before the write callback and where the socket was opened (2), and 'close' after a small end() behind the peer's FIN (1).

Two cases outside these probes move off main's value. Both are the 'error' of a waiting write that fails for a reason the socket read, and both follow from the write callback being what destroys the socket:

  • A peer's reset with no 'error' listener: the uncaught exception carries the store of the write. Node gives the store of the socket when the socket was reading, and the store of the write when it was not.
  • A TLS record that cannot be decrypted: 'error' runs in the store of the write. Node reports it where the socket's events run and does not fail the write.

What changes, by file.

  • net.ts: waitedWrite at the three places where _write leaves the callback in the slot. The slot still holds a function, and every reader of the slot calls it as before, in the same order. A write that a TLS wrap holds until its handle is attached goes to the handle in the context of the write. When a write that waited completes in another context than the socket's events, the socket keeps the context of its events (kEventFrame), and a private AsyncLocalStorage holds that record while the completion runs. A destroy() of that socket that the completion leads to (a failed write, an end() behind it) schedules 'close' in the context of the events (scheduleClose). Another socket that the callback destroys, and a destroy() that comes after the write, emit 'close' where destroy() was called, as on main. The socket keeps no context of a write. SocketHandlers.error returns after a failed write destroyed the socket, so an adopted fd emits one 'error' (the repro of node:net: emit 'error' once when a buffered write on an adopted fd fails #43038).
  • tls.ts: a _final that waits for the handshake runs in the context of end().
  • _http_server.ts: the tunnel socket of 'upgrade' and CONNECT binds its waiting callback. A ServerResponse keeps the context of the first write that reported backpressure (kWaitingWrite). 'drain', the write callbacks, the 'finish' of an end() behind it, and their failure at close run there. Node corks a response for the rest of the tick, so an end() in the tick of that write takes its place. On the 36 rows of the default path, main had 7 right and this branch has 36.
  • _http_client.ts, http1_server_fallback.ts: the re-entry of a saved context for 'drain' is removed, because the socket's 'drain' now carries the write. It stays for a socket of another Bun.ModuleGraph. The fallback fails the callbacks that wait, at close, through the same kWaitingWrite rule as the native path.

Bun.ModuleGraph. A context of another graph than the socket's is never installed by this change. The stream's own work (the next write, the shutdown, 'close') would go with a graph that only wrote, and a disposed graph drops it: a host socket then never closes, and a host http.Agent never serves its next request. So those cases run exactly as on main. Where main entered the request's or the response's context for 'drain', it still does when the socket is another graph's. This rule (runInSameGraph, isInAnotherGraph in internal/async_context_frame.ts) is new and needs a yes from the owner of Bun.ModuleGraph.

Measurements.

  • A write that completes in the call: the text of _write up to the park is the same, apart from the branch for a send that the kernel rejects and the branch for a write held by a TLS wrap. 80,000 echo writes park 0 times.
  • Per socket that never parks, or whose writes complete in the context of its events: no new property. Out-of-line slots are 16/16 (client), 17/32 (accepted), 46/64 (TLS client) on both builds.
  • Per socket whose write completed in another context: one record of 32 B and one property (a client socket goes from 16/16 to 17/32 out-of-line slots, +128 B). The record holds the context of the socket's events, not of the write.
  • Per parked write: +1 bound function while it waits (heap +96 B to +100 B per parked write over 1,000 parked writes) and nothing after it completes. Main: +0.
  • Per completion in another context than the event's: one AsyncLocalStorage.run() and 2 host calls of the graph check. 0 host calls without AsyncLocalStorage or when the write and the socket have one context. internal/async_context_frame is not loaded by a program that uses node:net without AsyncLocalStorage.
  • Per socket close: one read of a module variable, which is unset until a write has completed in another context. After that, one getStore().
  • How often a write parks: 16 of 1,024 writes (64 MiB in 64 KiB chunks), 0 of 600 after connect, the same on both builds.
  • Socket calls (LD_PRELOAD counter): 4,000 send for 2,000 echo round trips and 400 send for 200 parked writes, on both builds.
  • Bundled builtins (release): six modules, +4,574 B, measured before main removed the http2 allowHTTP1 proxy (a seventh module, +162 B more then). Release binaries (--lto=off) of the first revision: text 101,811,313 B to 101,815,686 B (+4,373 B) for +4,357 B of bundle, file 102,463,288 B to 102,467,384 B.
  • Wall clock, release builds of the first revision, 24 interleaved runs each: 200,000 echo round trips, median 1,658.6 ms on main and 1,669.8 ms here (+0.7%, minimum 1,487.0 and 1,464.1 ms). 256 MiB in 64 KiB chunks, median 263.4 ms and 259.3 ms. Both are inside the run-to-run spread.
  • perf, valgrind and strace are not installed in the build container, so there is no instruction count.

Tests.

  • Fixtures in test/js/node/async_hooks/async-context/, which AsyncLocalStorage-tracking.test.ts runs under Node and Bun on every lane: net-socket-write-waits, tls-socket-write, tls-wrap-socket-write (STARTTLS), http-upgrade-socket-write, http-connect-socket-write, http-clientrequest-write, http-serverresponse-write (both listen() and emit("connection")), http2-allowhttp1-socket-write. Each checks that its write waited, and fails by name if its socket reports an error or closes early. net-socket-write is as on main.
  • net-syscall-fault.test.ts (debug and ASAN builds): the cases that need an injected short or failed send, and the Bun-only rows of 'close' (another socket, a later destroy(), a peer's reset on an accepted socket).
  • test/js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-net-write.test.ts: the Bun.ModuleGraph cases.
  • 23 mutations, each of which reverts one clause of the change in the bundled builtins: the fixtures and tests catch all 23 (run before the last two rebases).
  • Also ran, with no failure that main's builtins do not show: node-http-backpressure, node-net, node-net-server, node-tls-server, node-tls-connect, tls-syscall-fault, node-http, node-https-server, node-http-connect, node-http-upgrade-body, node-http-with-ws, node-http-server-close-drain, node-http-server-socket-end-drain, node-http-agent-free-socket, node-http-syscall-fault, node-http2-upgrade, module-graph-io, module-graph-callbacks, AsyncLocalStorage, async_hooks.node, and 25 of Node's test-net-*, test-tls-* and test-http-* tests.
  • Windows takes a write of any size at once, so no write waits for its socket there. The two fixtures that only test such writes (net-socket-write-waits after its first scenario, http-serverresponse-write) do nothing on Windows. macOS was not run locally.

Self-review, not changed.

  • A TLS handshake that fails under a waiting write: Node fails the write first, so 'error' runs in the context of the write. Here 'error' still comes first and runs where the socket was opened, as on main. The write callback now runs in the context of the write, and the TLS fixture pins that row. The order is a separate defect.
  • The TLS cases that need an injected fault stay in net-syscall-fault.test.ts, next to the slot they test. The cases that need no fault moved to the fixtures.
  • A callback that throws: the exception of a parked write's callback still leaves through the socket's error handler, as on main. Node reports it as an uncaught exception and keeps the socket open.

Still different from Node, and not part of this change.

  • node:http2 stream writes: the write callback and 'drain' see no store.
  • child.stdin (an fs.WriteStream, no write slot), a dgram send that the kernel refused, session.settings(cb), and an IPC send(cb) that did not fit the pipe.
  • Listeners on req.socket of a reused http.Agent connection run in the store of the first request.
  • request.socket.end() with a response write waiting, on the default server path: the connection never closes (Bun 1.4.3 too). The fixture runs that scenario for emit("connection") only.
  • The tunnel socket of 'upgrade' and CONNECT emits a second 'drain' from its native drain event, as on main. The first one, from the stream, now runs in the context of the write. The draft node:http: gate 'drain' on the bytes of the handle, give write callbacks to the stream #46014 removes the second one.
  • A response whose first write of a tick is taken at once and whose next write in that tick waits: Node uses the context of the first write (it corks both), this branch and main use the context of the write that waited.
  • A response write that takes the backlog of an earlier write with it, before the drain event: the callback of the earlier write runs in the context of the later write, as on main. Node runs it in the context of the earlier write.

Open PRs that touch the same lines. #43250, #43392, #43026 and #43877 read or write the write slot: the slot still holds a function, so their calls stay correct. #43038 is covered by the one-line guard in SocketHandlers.error. The draft #46014 rewrites #onDrain of the tunnel socket, which this change leaves as on main.

Status: ready for review.

Reproduction. The script from the report: a 32 MiB socket.write(chunk, cb) to a peer that does not read, issued inside AsyncLocalStorage.run(), with a 'drain' listener. On main and on Bun 1.4.3 the callback and the listener see no store. Node 26.3 gives them the store of the write, and so does this branch. A small write keeps its store on every build.

PR: #46141

Walkthrough

The change captures async-context frames for deferred socket writes and uses them for write callbacks, drain, close, and finish handling across net, HTTP, and TLS paths. It adds module-graph-aware frame helpers and regression tests for backpressure, errors, connection teardown, and graph disposal.

This change makes socket write callbacks, drain and finish events run in the async context of the write that waited. The two earlier concerns, a type error and a cross-socket close-context leak, are fixed at the current head. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains, and CI results for the latest commit should be confirmed as usual.

  • 🟣 src/js/node/_http_server.ts — CONNECT and 'upgrade' tunnel sockets emit 'drain' twice per backpressure episode, and after this change the two events run in different AsyncLocalStorage contexts. #onDrain at _http_server.ts:1782 invokes the parked Writable callback, which makes afterWrite emit 'drain' when needDrain is set, then _http_server.ts:1784 emits 'drain' again. The callback is now bound at _http_server.ts:2232 to the write's frame, so the first 'drain' carries the write's store and the second carries the native event's. Fix: drop the explicit this.emit("drain") at _http_server.ts:1784 and let the stream emit it, or guard on needDrain so one 'drain' is emitted, in the write's frame.

    Why this was flagged

    Trigger: a streaming-mode server socket (CONNECT tunnel or 'upgrade') whose write returns false from handle.write at _http_server.ts:2227, with the chunk at or above the stream's highWaterMark so Writable sets needDrain. Entry: the native drain callback calls #onDrain (_http_server.ts:1778). Line 1782 runs the stored callback, which is Writable's onwrite; afterWrite (writable.ts) emits 'drain' when needDrain && length === 0. Line 1784 then emits 'drain' a second time. The base branch had the same double emission, but both events ran in the same frame. With this change the callback is wrapped by runInSameGraph.bind at _http_server.ts:2232, so the first 'drain' runs in the write's frame and the second in the native frame; a listener keyed on the ALS store (per-request logging, metrics) now sees one event with the store and one without, and any listener that resumes a piped source resumes it twice. Population: every proxy or WebSocket-style server that pipes through a tunnel socket under backpressure. Remedy: emit 'drain' once, from the stream's own afterWrite, in the write's frame.

    Verification: Pre-existing. Trigger: a CONNECT/'upgrade' tunnel socket whose handle.write returns false at src/js/node/_http_server.ts:2227. #onDrain calls the wrapped callback, and afterWrite emits 'drain' inside the write's frame; line 1784 this.emit("drain") emits a second 'drain' in the native event's frame. The base has the identical #onDrain; the fixture only uses once('drain') so it never observes the second.

On the second 'drain' of the tunnel socket ('upgrade' and CONNECT): that is #onDrain as it is on main, and this change does not touch it. The first 'drain' comes from the stream and now runs in the context of the write. The second comes from the native drain event and runs where it ran before. The draft #46014 removes the second one. The description lists this under what still differs from Node.

  • 🔴 src/js/node/net.ts — Servers using AsyncLocalStorage get 'close' of an accepted or adopted-fd socket in the backpressured write's store instead of the socket's when the peer resets. ServerHandlers.close at net.ts:1290 nulls _handle before SocketEmitEndNT fails the parked write, so the destroy() that completion causes takes _destroy's handle-less branch, whose process.nextTick(emitCloseNT) at net.ts:2582 is never routed through the completing event's frame. Fix: emit 'close' in the completing event's frame on every destroy path reached from a waited write's completion, including net.ts:2588-2589, as setCloseImmediate already does for the handle paths. Base and Node run it where the socket's events run. [also at: src/js/node/net.ts:2582 - Servers using AsyncLocalStorage get a 'close' listener run in the parked write's store, not the socket's, when the peer closes an accepted or fd-adopted socket under backpressure.]

    Why this was flagged

    A net.createServer or tls.createServer accepted socket (ServerHandlers), or a socket over an adopted fd (SocketHandlers), has a write parked in [kwriteCallback] via waitedWrite (src/js/node/net.ts:3139) under store A, with no 'error' listener and a write callback like `err => { if (err)…

    Verification: ServerHandlers.close and SocketHandlers.close null _handle before SocketEmitEndNT fails the parked write inside the write's frame, so Socket.prototype._destroy takes the handle-less branch and process.nextTick(emitCloseNT) at src/js/node/net.ts:2582 captures the write's frame; only the _handle branches use setCloseImmediate. On base 'close' stayed in the socket's frame.

  • 🟡 src/js/node/net.ts — TLS users with per-connection AsyncLocalStorage now get a handle-reported 'error' (bad record, peer reset under a parked write) in the write's store instead of the socket's, which main and Node give. SocketHandlers.error at src/js/node/net.ts:918 runs the parked callback in the write's frame; the stream's errorOrDestroy destroys there and queues the only 'error' in that frame, and src/js/node/net.ts:920 then skips the socket-frame emit. Fix: when the failure comes from the handle's own error event rather than the write's completion, emit the single 'error' in the event's frame (for example destroy in the event frame before failing the callback, or emit from the handler and mark errorEmitted) at the three handler sites, keeping one emit. …

    Why this was flagged

    A tls socket with a write parked in [kwriteCallback] (src/js/node/net.ts:3139) receives a record it cannot decrypt, or a reset while reading; the native error arrives through SocketHandlers.error at src/js/node/net.ts:909. The callback stored by waitedWrite enters the write's frame…

    Verification: A socket with a write parked in kwriteCallback under a different AsyncLocalStorage store than its events gets a handle error. In SocketHandlers.error (src/js/node/net.ts:902-917) the callback at line 911 destroys the stream in the write's frame, and line 913 if (self.destroyed) return; skips the socket-frame emit, so the only 'error' runs in the write's store, not the socket's as on the base.

On the two findings outside the diff of 807d367:

  • The destroy path of a socket whose handle is already detached (an accepted socket that the peer closed): fixed in 219f700. That path goes through scheduleClose too, so 'close' runs where the socket's events run. net-syscall-fault.test.ts has the case for a client and for an accepted socket, with a peer's reset and a write callback that destroys the socket.
  • The 'error' of a waiting write that a bad TLS record or a peer's reset fails: not changed. The write is called back first, and the stream destroys the socket from inside that callback, so 'error' runs in the context of the write. To report it first, in the context of the event, the socket must be destroyed before the callback runs. Then a callback that destroys the socket no longer suppresses 'error', which is the crash the earlier review found. The description lists this under Downsides.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟣 src/js/node/_http_server.ts — pre-existing: a response write callback that waited for backpressure runs in a later write's AsyncLocalStorage store when that later write flushes the backlog itself. ServerResponse.prototype.write at src/js/node/_http_server.ts:3813 calls _callPendingCallbacks in the current frame and never consults the kWaitingWrite record this PR adds for exactly those callbacks. Fix: complete the parked callbacks in the first waiting write's frame on every completion path, including a later write's synchronous flush, by routing the :3813 call through runWhereWriteWaited (and keeping the 'drain' at :4208 in that same frame). Node completes them with the first write request, so they see that write's store.

    Why this was flagged

    A handler does res.write(big, cbA) inside als.run("A"); handle.write reports backpressure (NodeHTTPResponse.rs:2192-2204), so src/js/node/_http_server.ts:3804 records kWaitingWrite = A and :3808 pushes cbA. Later, inside als.run("B"), the handler does res.write(chunk, cbB) after the peer has read: uWS AsyncSocket::write first flushes the buffered backlog and then takes the chunk (packages/bun-uws/src/AsyncSocket.h:320-328), so handle.write returns WantMore, result >= 0, and :3813 runs this._callPendingCallbacks(), which process.nextTick's cbA in the current frame, store "B". The owed drain stays armed, so allowWritesToContinue later emits 'drain' in frame A via :4208, and the callback and the 'drain' of the same write disagree. In Node cbA completes with the first write request in A. The base branch runs :3813 the same way; the kWaitingWrite record is not a safeguard here because :3813 never reads it.

    Verification: pre-existing. A response write parks under store A (src/js/node/_http_server.ts:3803-3808 pushes cbA), then a later res.write is issued under store B after the peer has read; NodeHTTPResponse.rs:2187-2190 returns WantMore, and line 3813 this._callPendingCallbacks() nextTicks cbA in the current frame, so cbA runs with store B, never through runWhereWriteWaited.

The description lists "the events of an accepted socket run in the store of listen()" as a remaining difference. I took that row as a separate change. It should land on top of this PR, not alone on main. These notes are for that follow-up.

What Node does

  • A net.Server gives the store of listen() to its own events ('listening', 'connection').
  • The 'data', 'end', 'error' and 'close' of a socket it accepts run in no store. Node 22.23.3, 24.22.0, 26.3.0 and 26.12.0 agree.
  • tls.Server is different. It makes the TLS socket in 'connection', so that socket's events keep the store of listen(). Only 'close' has none.

Tests, ready to carry over (27ba6d9 on robobun/7c4ff86d/net-accepted-socket-async-context)

  • async-context-net-server-accepted-socket.js: TCP, a path and pauseOnConnect, with a clean close and a peer reset.
  • async-context-http-server-from-net-connection.js: an http.Server that gets the socket through emit("connection").
  • async-context-tls-server-accepted-socket.js: a guard for the tls.Server rows. It passes on main.
  • Two tests in test/js/node/net/node-net-server.test.ts. One is a guard that Bun.listen handlers keep the store of the call that gave them.
  • The fixtures pass under the four Node versions above. On main the first two print 15 and 9 failing rows. With this PR alone they print the same.

  • It calls Bun.listen outside the stores and keeps the frame of listen() on the handle. ServerHandlers.open enters that frame for 'connection'. A TLS listener is left as it is.
  • I ran it with this PR's builtins, rebased onto main by hand, on the native binary of main at 9b4284f. The fallback hunk of the second commit on that branch was applied too.
  • Rows equal to Node v26.3.0 over 43 probe runs (378 rows): main 195, this PR 207, this PR with the change 329. No row moves away from Node.

What has to go with it

  • The HTTP/1 path for emit("connection") (http1_server_fallback.ts) has to run its parser in the async context of that call. Without that, 'request' loses the store of listen() that it has today. node:http: stop reading a connection served from JS while the request buffer is full #45841 and node:http, node:http2: give emit('connection') and allowHTTP1 connections the server's timers and error path #46185 edit the same listener.
    • Node frames what the parser reports. For a stream without a handle, what follows execute() ('upgrade', 'connect', a parse error) runs in the stream's 'data'. The hunk on that branch frames the whole 'data' listener. That is wrong for such a stream. 'upgrade' on a duplexPair() side then runs in the hand-over store. Node and main use the writer's store.
    • Node does not frame the socket's 'end'. The 'clientError' of a message cut short runs in no store.
  • The server-side close: "opened" expectations of net-syscall-fault.test.ts here should become undefined, because 'close' of an accepted socket then runs in no store. I did not run that file.
  • 'close' after a local destroy() still runs where destroy() ran. Node uses no store for an accepted socket. scheduleClose is the place for that rule.

Why not alone on main

  • Alone it has to keep the native drain in the store of listen(), because a parked write has no context of its own there. The callback of a waiting write from 'connection' that fails on a peer reset then runs in no store. On main and in Node it runs in the store of listen().
  • 98e4070 is a native form of the rule: a wrap policy in Handlers.rs behind a private doListen. Alone on main it moves 195 to 313 rows. domain: route fs callback throws to uncaughtException, unblocking 4 tests (domain 88%→96%) #34661 adds the same doListen and an owner flag on Handlers, so a native form should build on that PR.

On the response write that takes the backlog of an earlier write with it (_callPendingCallbacks in ServerResponse.prototype.write): not changed here, and the same as on main. That call runs on every write that the handle takes, so a lookup of the waiting context there is a cost for every response. The case also needs a later write to arrive between the moment the kernel has room and the drain event, which a test cannot arrange without a fault in the handle. The description lists it under what still differs from Node.

The branch is rebased on main (one conflict in closeSocketHandle, which main changed to pass arguments in place of a closure) and is one commit again.

I reviewed the new push and found no bugs; the restructured design (callback-first error path, the completion-scoped completingSocket store instead of a retained write frame, runWhereWriteWaited shared by the native and fallback close paths) addresses the points raised on earlier pushes, but a human look is still worthwhile given how many async-context paths this touches and the new runInSameGraph/isInAnotherGraph Bun.ModuleGraph rule that the description itself flags for its owner.

What was reviewed:

  • net.ts: the three waitedWrite sites, scheduleClose routing in _destroy/closeSocketHandle, and the early return in SocketHandlers.error after a callback-destroyed socket.
  • _http_server.ts/http1_server_fallback.ts: kWaitingWrite first-write-wins with the same-tick end() override, and the fallback's settleWaiting now entering a frame only for another graph.
  • Checked 'close' of a stream-engine TLSSocket wrapped outside any store: it now runs in the waited write's store rather than undefined — a minor divergence, not a correctness bug.
  • New fixtures match the glob-driven pattern in AsyncLocalStorage-tracking.test.ts.
Extended reasoning...

The single commit changes how AsyncLocalStorage frames propagate through write completion, drain, finish and close in the JS node:net, node:tls, node:http (server, client, CONNECT/upgrade, http2 allowHTTP1 proxy) and the http1 fallback, adding two helpers to internal/async_context_frame.ts that refuse to install a frame from another Bun.ModuleGraph. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. The push substantively redesigned the mechanism compared with the earlier versions this bot commented on, and the hunt ran dry with no findings. It is deferred rather than approved because the change is large and intricate (many ordering-sensitive async-context paths with Node-timing contracts) and introduces a new cross-cutting ModuleGraph rule that needs a maintainer's judgment.

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 22, 2026
…ack (#46390)

### Problem
- In built-in `ws`, a waiting `send()`/`ping()`/`pong()` callback can
see the wrong AsyncLocalStorage store. Called outside every store, it
sees the store of `new WebSocket()` or of the `terminate()` caller. Bun
1.4.3 gives none (unreleased regression from #45223).
- `bindAsyncContext()` (`src/js/thirdparty/ws.ts:1529`) returns the bare
callback when the async context is `undefined`.
- On the stream transport a `null` callback throws `TypeError: cb is not
a function`. On native transports `this` is the queue.

### Fix
- Each waiting callback is a `{ callback, asyncContext }` record, filled
at the call. Only `runWaitingCallback()` runs it, restoring `undefined`
too. `bindAsyncContext()` is removed.
- A falsy callback is not stored. Callbacks get no receiver.
- Verified: 25 new tests in `test/js/first_party/ws/` and the
Node-checked fixture `async-context-ws-send.js` fail on main. Also ran
that whole directory.
- Self-reviewed: 23 concerns raised, 21 addressed. Not done: the closure
fix, and a `'close'` rule in `ws.ts` (`node:net` owns it).

### Background
- The async context holds the AsyncLocalStorage stores and the current
`Bun.ModuleGraph`. It is `undefined` outside both.
- A callback waits when the kernel takes part of the frame. On the
stream transport (`node:http` socket), each waits.
- Considered a closure per call (128 B per waiting callback) and a
`WebSocket::callHandler` change (it misses `node:net` completions).

### Downsides
- Without AsyncLocalStorage, a waiting callback holds one 32 B object
until it runs. Binary: +469 B.
- On the stream transport, `'close'` has no store after such a callback
calls `terminate()`. Main and Node: the constructor's.
- Unlike Node, a queued callback does not get the store of the send
before it.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Origin and reach.** #45223 rewrote `ws` on native transports and added
`bindAsyncContext()`. It is in no release, and Bun 1.4.3 is not
affected. I found this with probes, and there is no user report. On the
native transports the defect needs a send that hits backpressure, or
callbacks that fail at close. On the stream transport it is every
callback. The client uses the stream transport for `createConnection`,
`lookup`, `family`, `localAddress`, `localPort`, `finishRequest`,
`signal`, `secureContext` or a custom agent. The server uses it for a
late `handleUpgrade()`.

**Repro.** Save as `ws-no-store.cjs` in the repo root. Run it with
`node`, with `bun`, and with `STREAM=1 bun` (the stream transport).

```js
const net = require("node:net"), crypto = require("node:crypto");
const { AsyncLocalStorage } = require("node:async_hooks");
const { WebSocket } = require(process.versions.bun ? "ws" : "./test/node_modules/ws");
const als = new AsyncLocalStorage();
const topLevel = Promise.resolve(); // its reactions run with no async context

  peerSock = s;

    head += chunk.toString("latin1");
    if (!head.includes("\r\n\r\n")) return;
    s.off("data", onHead);
    const key = /sec-websocket-key: (.*)\r\n/i.exec(head)[1];
    const accept = crypto.createHash("sha1").update(key + "258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11").digest("base64");
    s.write(`HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\nUpgrade: websocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nSec-WebSocket-Accept: ${accept}\r\n\r\n`);
    s.on("data", () => {});
    s.pause(); // the peer stops reading, so the send has to wait
  };
  s.on("data", onHead);
});

  als.run("ctor", () => { ws = new WebSocket(`ws://127.0.0.1:${peer.address().port}`, { perMessageDeflate: false, family: process.env.STREAM ? 4 : undefined }); });

    });
    setImmediate(() => peerSock.resume());
  });
});

| | native transport | stream transport |
|---|---|---|
| Node v26.3.0 + npm ws 8.18.3 | `(no store)` | `(no store)` |

| main (a950fc5) | `ctor` | `ctor` |
| this PR | `(no store)` | `(no store)` |

`als.exit(() => ws.send(...))` does not reproduce it, because `exit()`
installs a context object. The context is `undefined` only in code that
never ran inside `run()`.

**A larger probe.** 72 cases: client and server, native and stream
transport, `send`/`ping`/`pong`, completed by a drain or by a peer
reset, called outside every store, inside `run()`, and inside `exit()`.
- 15 cases change. All of them are calls outside every store, and all of
them now equal Node. Those calls are right in 24 of 24 cases (main: 9 of
24).
- No case changes the error that the callback gets.
- 16 cases still differ from Node, as on main: a `ping()` or `pong()`
inside `run()` that is queued behind a send from another context. See
"Differences from Node" below.
- The server-side cases: main ran the callback in the store of
`listen()` when a stream-transport socket closed, in the store of a
`terminate()` caller, and in the store of a later `send()` that found
the backpressure cleared.

**The other fixes of the same record.**
- Falsy callback. `ws.send("a", {}, null)` on the stream transport
stored `null` (`cb && bindAsyncContext(cb)`), and the `socket.write()`
callback then called it. The process gets an uncaught `TypeError: cb is
not a function` with no user frame. `false`, `0` and `""` do the same.
Node with npm `ws`, Bun 1.4.3 and the native transports ignore such a
callback. It is now ignored on the stream transport too (`cb ?
waitingCallback(cb) : undefined`).
- `this`. `runCallbacks()` called `callbacks[i](err)`, so a waiting
callback on a native transport ran as a method of the queue. A callback
could change the queue through `this`. It is now a plain call.
- `Bun.ModuleGraph`. The graph context is part of the async context. On
main, a callback that host code passed to a socket that a graph made ran
in the context of the graph, with no AsyncLocalStorage in the program.
It now runs in the context of the host, as on 1.4.3.
- `checkServerIdentity`. The wrapper used the same helper. The new code
differs from main in one case: a socket made outside every store, with a
handshake that an event-loop tick inside a store delivers (an un-awaited
`expect().resolves` does that). The callback now sees no store.

**Differences from Node.**
- Moved by this PR: on the stream transport, `'close'` runs with no
store after a callback from outside every store ends the connection with
`terminate()`. Main and Node give the store of the constructor. Bun
1.4.3 gives no store. The cause is in `node:net`, which emits `'close'`
in the context of the `destroy()` caller. A direct `terminate()` from
outside every store already gives no store on main. Main matched Node
here only because the callback ran in the wrong store.
- Moved by this PR: a store that a waiting callback enters with
`enterWith()` does not reach the next callback. Main and Node pass it on
to the callbacks that complete in the same batch. Each callback now runs
in the context of its own call only.
- Kept from main: a callback that is queued behind another send runs in
the store of its own call. On Node, npm `ws` runs it in the store of the
write in front of it (stores `A, none, C, D` give `A, A, A, A`). With
permessage-deflate, npm `ws` on Node runs every compressed send in the
store of the first compressed send. The tests of #45223 pin the rule of
Bun.
- Kept from main: a waiting callback that fails gets
`ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED`. Node gives `ECANCELED` or `ECONNRESET`.
- Kept from main: when a waiting callback throws, the
`uncaughtException` handler sees the store of the event, not of the
call.
- Kept from main: the stream transport writes to its socket in the store
of the constructor, for every send. Node writes in the store of the
sender. `WebSocket::callHandler` installs that context around the
`write` handler.
- Kept from main: a truthy callback that is not a function throws when
it is called. Node throws from the call.

**Bun.ModuleGraph.** `runWaitingCallback()` installs the context of the
call, whatever graph it belongs to, as `bindAsyncContext()` did for a
defined context. A `createWebSocketStream()` duplex passes its own write
callback to `send()`. So when host code writes to a duplex that a graph
made, the `'drain'` listener of the graph runs in the context of the
host. On main that was so on the native transport, and on the stream
transport when the host had a store. #46141 proposes a helper
(`runInSameGraph`) that does not install the context of another graph.
If that rule is wanted here, `runWaitingCallback()` is the one place to
apply it.

**Inspect.** The record is in the symbol-keyed `kCallbacks` slot. While
a callback that was passed inside a store waits, `Bun.inspect(ws)` and
`util.inspect(ws, { depth: 4 })` print that store. Main printed a
function. `http.ClientRequest` shows its context the same way
(`kClientAsyncContext`).

**Measurements.** Linux x64, debug build of main a950fc5 with the
bundled `ws.js` of main and of this PR.
- Waiting callback, no AsyncLocalStorage, native transports: +1 Object
(32 B) kept until it runs, 0 Function. Main keeps 0 cells, but allocates
2 JSLexicalEnvironment per call and drops them
(`heapStats().objectTypeCounts`, N=2000).
- Waiting callback sent inside `run()`, native transports: 0 Function, 0
JSLexicalEnvironment, 1 Object (32 B). Main: 1 Function and 2
JSLexicalEnvironment (128 B).
- Stream transport, per send with a callback: 1 Function, 2
JSLexicalEnvironment, 2 Object. Main: 2, 2, 1 (3 Function with a store).
- Send that completes at once on a native transport: same cells on both.
- Stream-transport auto-pong, per received ping: 1 Function, 3
JSLexicalEnvironment, 3 Object. Main: 2, 5, 2.
- Bytecode instructions, main to PR: WebSocket constructor 126 to 126,
`send` 223 to 224, `sendControl` 133 to 134, `scheduleSendCallback` 51
to 53, `runCallbacks` 33 to 34, `write` handler 48 to 45. In `send` and
`sendControl` only the stream-transport branch differs. In
`scheduleSendCallback` only the loop that releases earlier callbacks
differs.
- Executed per waiting callback without AsyncLocalStorage (interpreter
listing): 23 bytecode instructions on main, 40 here.
- `internal/async_context_frame` loads without AsyncLocalStorage: 0 on
the native transport on both (200 waiting callbacks). On the stream
transport `node:_http_agent` loads it on both.
- Release-mode bundle of `thirdparty/ws.js`: 78,381 B to 78,850 B (+469
B). The embedded module blob grows by the same 469 B, and no other
generated file changes. I did not build a release binary.
- Not measured: machine instructions and syscalls. `perf`, `valgrind`
and `strace` are not installed here. The diff does not change when bytes
are written.

**Tests.** All fail with the `ws.ts` of main and pass with this PR,
except where noted.
- `ws-client-compat-send.test.ts`: 6 cases (native and stream transport,
after the peer reads, `terminate()` inside a store, and a peer reset)
check the store and the argument of five callbacks, and the store of
`'close'` on the native transport. 2 cases check `this` and
`enterWith()`. 1 case checks the `Bun.ModuleGraph` context.
- `ws-server-compat-send.test.ts`: `terminate()` inside a store, and a
later `send()` that releases earlier callbacks.
- `ws-stream-transport.test.ts`: client and server over a Duplex, with
and without permessage-deflate, and the falsy callbacks `null`, `false`,
`0` and `""`.
- `ws-stream-compat.test.ts`: the write callback and `'drain'` of
`createWebSocketStream()`. The native-transport case passes on main too.
- `ws-client-compat-agent.test.ts`: `checkServerIdentity` under a nested
event-loop tick.
- `async-context-ws-send.js` runs under Bun and under Node through
`AsyncLocalStorage-tracking.test.ts`.
- 20 mutations of the bundled fix, each of which breaks or reverts one
clause: every one fails at least one of these tests.
- Bun 1.4.3 cannot show the failure (`USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1`), because it
predates #45223.
- Also ran: every file in `test/js/first_party/ws/` (21 files, 3,143
pass), `node-http-with-ws`, `websocket-client`,
`websocket-buffered-amount`, `websocket-server-upgrade-reentrant` and
`module-graph-callbacks`.

**Alternatives.**
- A closure for every call in `bindAsyncContext()`, with the comparison
inside it, is about 7 lines and passes the same tests. It keeps 1
Function and 2 JSLexicalEnvironment (128 B) per waiting callback in
programs that do not use AsyncLocalStorage, and it keeps the `once`
closure of the stream transport.
- A change in `WebSocket::callHandler` does not reach the callbacks that
a `socket.write()` callback, a later `send()`, or the `'close'` of a
`node:http` socket completes.

**Related.** #46141 does the same for `node:net` writes and does not
touch `ws.ts`.

…ntext of the write

A write that the kernel takes only part of waits for the socket. A socket
event then called its callback, so the callback ran in the async context
of connect() or listen(). The write callback, 'drain', 'finish' and the
end() callback read the AsyncLocalStorage store of whoever opened the
socket. On a keep-alive connection that is another request.

`_write` now binds the callback that waits to the context it was called
in, as the write request of Node's handle keeps it. What the stream has
queued behind that write completes there too. The same applies to a TLS
end() before the handshake and to the socket of an 'upgrade' or CONNECT
request. A response of the node:http server keeps the context of its
first write that waited, or of an end() in the same tick.

'close' stays in the context of the socket's events when the completion
of the socket's own write is what destroys the socket. Another socket
that the callback destroys, and a destroy() that comes after the write,
emit 'close' where destroy() was called, as before.

A context inside another Bun.ModuleGraph than the socket's is not
installed. Those callbacks run as before.
