Problem

  • Over HTTP/3, a Bun.serve Response body stream that errors after some chunks were sent is delivered as a complete message. fetch(url, { protocol: "http3" }) resolves with status 200 and res.text() resolves with the bytes sent so far. HTTP/1.1 closes the connection without the chunked terminator for the same case, so the client sees ECONNRESET.
  • Cause: RequestContext::force_close() is the "signal an incomplete message" path. For H3 it reached uws_h3_res_force_close (src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h3.cpp), which called us_quic_stream_close(). That queues a FIN after the buffered tail, and in HTTP/3 a FIN is the end-of-message marker.
  • Second cause: the H3 fetch client (src/http/h3_client/callbacks.rs, on_stream_close) treated every stream close after the response headers as a clean end of body, even a peer RESET_STREAM or a CONNECTION_CLOSE. Before the headers it re-sent the request once for any close, including a RESET_STREAM that means the server may have run the handler.

Fix

  • uws_h3_res_force_close sends RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR). us_quic_stream_reset takes the code as a parameter, quic.c records a peer RESET_STREAM with its code, and the codes live in one place: the Rust H3ErrorCode enum in src/uws_sys/quic/Stream.rs.
  • The client's on_stream_close now calls ClientSession::on_stream_closed with the peer's reset code. A FIN always detaches the stream inside deliver, so a stream still attached at close never got one. After the headers the request fails with HTTP3StreamReset (peer reset) or ConnectionClosed (ECONNRESET in JS, the HTTP/1.1 code for a connection dropped mid-body). Before the headers it is re-sent once only when the connection went away or the code is H3_REQUEST_REJECTED, the one code that promises no application processing (RFC 9114 section 8.1). The h2 client retries only REFUSED_STREAM the same way.
  • Correct because RFC 9114 section 4.1 defines a message as complete only at a FIN, and RESET_STREAM is the stream-level abort. The HTTP/2 server work in Bun.serve: HTTP/2 support via http2: true #40137 sends RST_STREAM(INTERNAL_ERROR) from force_close for the same reason.
  • Verified: test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts (2 new tests: fetch() body read rejects, node:quic sees RESET_STREAM code 258) and test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts (4 new tests against a node:quic server: RESET_STREAM mid-body, CONNECTION_CLOSE mid-body, pre-header reset with 0x10B re-sent once, with 0x102 not re-sent). Five fail with main's src/ and packages/. Also ran the full serve-http3, fetch-http3-*, and test/js/node/quic suites and bun run rust:check-all.

Background

  • In HTTP/3 each request is one bidirectional QUIC stream. The response ends with the stream's FIN. There is no chunked framing, so the peer cannot tell a truncated body from a complete one unless the sender aborts the stream with RESET_STREAM(error code) (RFC 9000 section 3.2, RFC 9114 section 8.1).
  • us_quic_stream_close (packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c) wraps lsquic_stream_close, which shuts down both halves and queues a FIN. us_quic_stream_reset wraps lsquic_stream_maybe_reset, which drops the unsent tail and queues RESET_STREAM instead.
  • lsquic reports a received RESET_STREAM through on_reset(how=0) and later calls on_close. It never reports a FIN for that stream, so on_stream_data(fin=1) does not run. The fetch client learns of a FIN only through that callback.
  • The pre-header retry (ClientSession::retry_or_fail) exists for a pooled session that went stale (GOAWAY, stateless reset, port reuse). It re-sends the request on a fresh session, so it is safe only when the server did not process the first copy.
Notes

Repro on main (debug build): status=200 body-resolved len=2048 for a stream that enqueues two 1 KiB chunks and then calls controller.error(). With the fix: fetch() resolves with status 200, res.text() rejects with code: "HTTP3StreamReset", and a following request on the same connection succeeds.

A node:quic client reading the same response gets ERR_QUIC_STREAM_RESET from its iterator and its closed promise rejects with ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR, errorCode 258 (0x102). It discards body bytes its reader has not consumed when the reset arrives (RFC 9000 section 3.2 allows this), so the test asserts the status and how the stream ended, not a byte count. The fixtures order the wire without a sleep: the body source fails only after the client, which by then holds the status and the first chunk, requests /release.

The "error before the first chunk" case is unchanged here: it still takes end_stream() and sends headers plus FIN, so the client sees a 200 with an empty body. #40596 routes that case through force_close() for HTTP/1.1 and leaves the H3 close semantics to this PR. With both, Bun.serve sends RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) before the headers and this client fails with HTTP3StreamReset without re-sending the request. On the client code of main a pre-header reset re-sends the request once (verified against a node:quic server: two POSTs reach the handler), so this PR should land before #40596.

FileResponseStream.rs also calls force_close() when a file read fails mid-response, so that path now resets the H3 stream too.

Client side: the Aborted check in on_stream_closed keeps the order deliver had (an aborted request reports Aborted, not the transport error). fail() calls Stream::abort(), which is a no-op here because qstream was already cleared, so the dying lsquic stream is not touched. The H3_REQUEST_REJECTED retry test pins the existing retry path (it passes on main too); the H3_INTERNAL_ERROR one fails on main.

Suites run with the debug build: test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts (54 pass), test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts (60 pass), fetch-http3-adversarial, fetch-http3-cold-post, fetch-http3-syscall-fault, test/js/node/quic/ (49 pass).

A Response body stream that errors after the status and some bytes went
out reaches RequestContext::force_close(). For HTTP/1 that closes the
socket without the terminating chunk. For HTTP/3 it called
us_quic_stream_close(), which queues a FIN, and in HTTP/3 a FIN marks a
complete message. The client received the truncated body as a complete
200 response.

uws_h3_res_force_close now sends RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) through
us_quic_stream_reset, which takes the HTTP/3 error code as a parameter.
The H3 fetch client's stream-close callback no longer treats a stream
that closed without a FIN as the end of the body: it fails the request
with HTTP3StreamReset when the peer reset the stream and with
ConnectionClosed when the connection went away under it.

Status: reproduced and fixed, ready for a maintainer. CI is green except for test/js/web/url/url.test.ts on the darwin x64 lane, which fails on main too (ICU version check) and is reported to triage separately. Three builds (106556, 106568, 106647) show the same result.

Reproduced with a debug build of main: a Bun.serve Response over HTTP/3 whose body stream enqueues a 1 KiB chunk and then calls controller.error(). The client's fetch() resolved with status 200 and res.text() resolved with the truncated body. With this change res.text() rejects with HTTP3StreamReset, and a node:quic client sees RESET_STREAM with error code 258 (H3_INTERNAL_ERROR).

The self-review also found that the client re-sent any request whose stream was reset before the headers. It now re-sends only on H3_REQUEST_REJECTED, as the h2 client does for REFUSED_STREAM. Six new tests cover the server reset, the client's handling of a reset or connection close mid-body, and the pre-header retry policy. Five of them fail with main's src/ and packages/.

Walkthrough

Changes

HTTP/3 streams now carry explicit reset error codes and peer-reset state. Client closure handling distinguishes retries, peer resets, aborted clients, and connection closures. Server failures send H3_INTERNAL_ERROR. Tests cover truncated responses and connection reuse.

HTTP/3 stream reset handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
QUIC reset contract and state
packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.*, src/uws_sys/quic.*
Reset APIs accept HTTP/3 error codes. H3ErrorCode defines internal-error and request-cancelled values. The stream exposes peer-reset state.
HTTP/3 client close handling
src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs, src/http/h3_client/callbacks.rs
Stream-close callbacks forward peer-reset state. The client retries closures before headers and reports errors after headers. Detached streams use RequestCancelled.
HTTP/3 failure signaling and regression coverage
src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h3.cpp, test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts, test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts
Failed responses use H3_INTERNAL_ERROR. Tests cover reset errors, connection closure errors, partial bodies, and connection reuse.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes wire-level HTTP/3 stream-close semantics on both the server and client sides and adjusts an FFI signature across C/C++/Rust, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • FFI signature change to us_quic_stream_reset — all call sites (Rust Stream::reset, C++ uws_h3_res_force_close) updated in lockstep; H3ErrorCode #[repr(u64)] matches the C uint64_t.
  • New peer_reset field — zero-initialized via us_calloc at stream allocation, so no uninitialized read.
  • on_stream_closed control flow — qstream is nulled before fail() runs, so Stream::abort() is a no-op and the freed lsquic stream is not touched; the pre-headers path still routes through deliver for the stale-session retry.
  • Tests — extend existing files, use port: 0 and local node:quic servers; the Bun.sleep(10) calls yield to the event loop for lsquic packetization (commented) rather than waiting on a condition.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a correctness bug where Bun.serve over HTTP/3 sent FIN instead of RESET_STREAM when a response body stream errored mid-transmission, causing clients to receive truncated bodies as complete messages. It also fixes the mirror bug in the HTTP/3 fetch client, which treated every post-headers stream close as a clean end-of-body. The change spans packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.{c,h} (new peer_reset flag, us_quic_stream_reset gains an error-code parameter, new us_quic_stream_peer_reset accessor), src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h3.cpp (force_close now resets instead of closes), src/uws_sys/quic/Stream.rs (Rust FFI bindings + H3ErrorCode enum), and src/http/h3_client/{ClientSession.rs,callbacks.rs} (new on_stream_closed that distinguishes FIN from RESET_STREAM/CONNECTION_CLOSE). Four new tests cover both server-emits-reset and client-interprets-reset paths.

Security risks

None identified. This is an RFC 9114 correctness fix — sending RESET_STREAM instead of FIN when a body fails is the spec-mandated behavior. The change does not touch auth, crypto, TLS, or input parsing. If anything, it improves security posture: previously a truncated body could be silently accepted as complete, which is a data-integrity concern.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The change is focused and well-motivated with clear RFC citations, and mirrors the existing HTTP/2 RST_STREAM handling. However, it modifies protocol-level stream lifecycle behavior in both the server and client HTTP/3 stacks, changes an FFI function signature across three languages, and adds new control flow in the h3 client's stream-close callback (which runs inside lsquic's process_conns and interacts with pointer-provenance-sensitive session/stream lifetime code). These are exactly the kind of changes where a subtle ordering or lifetime issue could produce a UAF or a hung request, so a maintainer familiar with the h3 client internals should confirm the reasoning about "a FIN always detaches inside deliver, so an attached stream at close never got one."

Other factors

The bug hunt ran to dry_streak with no findings. I verified: the new struct field is zero-initialized (us_calloc); all us_quic_stream_reset callers were updated; on_stream_closed nulls qstream before calling fail() so the dying lsquic stream is not touched via abort(); the Aborted signal check preserves the ordering deliver had. The tests are well-constructed — they extend existing test files, use local node:quic servers (no external network), assert composite objects with .toEqual, and include both a fetch() end-to-end assertion and a wire-level assertion that RESET_STREAM(0x102) is what goes out. The Bun.sleep(10) calls are under the 50ms REVIEW.md threshold, are commented as event-loop yields for lsquic packetization, and are not waiting on a condition. No CODEOWNERS entries cover the changed paths. The change is not simple/mechanical enough for auto-approval given it alters transport-layer error semantics.

…leep

The fixture servers now fail the body only after the client requests
/release, which it does once it holds the status and the first chunk.
The node:quic reader asserts the RESET_STREAM error code through the
stream's closed promise instead of the error message text.

Review follow-up, pushed in c79e217 and 405ec97:

  • The fixture servers no longer order the wire with a 10 ms sleep. The body source sends one chunk and fails only when the client, which by then holds the status and that chunk, requests /release. The four tests still fail on main's source (checked by building with main's src/ and packages/) and pass with the fix.
  • The node:quic reader asserts the structured reset code (ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR, errorCode 258) from the stream's closed promise instead of the error message text.
  • The doc comments on the new helpers are shortened. They state the protocol contract (a FIN completes an HTTP/3 message, so an attached stream at close never got one), not a workaround.

…REQUEST_REJECTED

The stream-close callback now carries the peer's RESET_STREAM error code.
Before the response headers, the client re-sends the request once only
when the connection went away under it or the code is
H3_REQUEST_REJECTED (0x10B), the one code that promises the server did
no application processing. Any other reset fails the request with
HTTP3StreamReset, as the h2 client retries only REFUSED_STREAM.

The HTTP/3 error codes now live in one place, the Rust H3ErrorCode enum;
uws_h3_res_force_close takes the code from its Rust caller.

Self-review follow-up, pushed in 1256a9c and 4aaf797:

  • The client now carries the peer's RESET_STREAM error code instead of a flag. Before the response headers it re-sends the request once only when the connection went away (the existing stale-session retry) or the code is H3_REQUEST_REJECTED (0x10B), the one code that promises the server did no application processing. Any other reset fails the request with HTTP3StreamReset without a second copy. This mirrors the h2 client, which retries only REFUSED_STREAM. Before this change a RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) before the headers re-sent a POST on a fresh connection (two copies reached a node:quic test server).
  • The HTTP/3 error codes now live in one place, the Rust H3ErrorCode enum. uws_h3_res_force_close takes the code from its Rust caller, so the C macros are gone.
  • Two new tests in fetch-http3-client.test.ts: a pre-header reset with 0x10B is re-sent once and succeeds, one with 0x102 reaches the server once and rejects.
  • The PR body is rewritten for the PR as it now stands. Since Bun.serve: never terminate a failed body stream as a complete message #40596 makes Bun.serve send a pre-header reset for a body that fails before its first chunk, this PR should land first.

Ordering note: the pre-first-byte framing change is now #40648 (stacked on #40596), and it keeps the HTTP/3 path on the normal end when no body byte went out, for the reason described here (a FIN before HEADERS makes the client re-send the request). So this PR no longer has to land before it. Once this PR is in, the !HTTP3 || condition in close_failed_body (src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs) can go, and HTTP/3 gets the same RESET_STREAM before the headers.

…#40596)

### Problem
- A `Bun.serve` Response whose body stream fails before any body byte is
written is delivered to the client as a complete message: the Response's
status and headers, `Transfer-Encoding: chunked`, an empty body and a
clean `0\r\n\r\n`. `curl` exits 0. A proxied upstream body that dies
before its first chunk is forwarded the same way, and nothing is
reported. Only a failure after the first body byte closed the connection
without the terminator (#32842).
- Cause: three sites in `src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs` handle a
body failure after the status line is committed (`handle_reject` for a
direct stream's synchronous `pull()` throw, `handle_reject_stream` for a
JS stream, `end_chunk` for a native byte stream). Each force-closed only
when `is_http_write_called()` and otherwise called `end_stream()`, which
writes the terminating chunk.

### Fix
- The three sites share a new `close_incomplete_stream`: while the
response is still pending, `force_close()` the connection, whether or
not body bytes went out first. Once the sink has already ended the
response, `end_stream()` only releases the context, as before.
- Correct because a chunked message is complete only with its terminator
(RFC 9112 section 7). An empty chunked body with a terminator is as
complete as a truncated one. Closing without it is the only way HTTP/1.1
can signal an incomplete message. When the status is still in the cork
buffer, the close discards it and the client sees an empty reply, the
same as Node's `res.destroy()` before the headers flush.
- `end_chunk` (HTMLRewriter output, a proxied `fetch()` body) no longer
drops the producer's error: it reports it in both modes through the
shared `report_committed_body_error`, which also gives native bodies the
bake dev server error page that JS streams already had. This carries the
remaining parts of #39442, closed in favor of this PR.
- Verified: `test/js/bun/http/serve-stream-body-error.test.ts` (JS
stream variants, pending error after the headers, HTMLRewriter and
proxied fetch bodies in both modes, two dev server rows; 17 of 26 fail
on stock bun). Also `serve.test.ts`,
`serve-direct-readable-stream.test.ts`, `async-iterator-stream.test.ts`,
`serve-http3.test.ts`, `serve-error-handler-stream.test.ts`,
`serve-stream-reject-flush-leak.test.ts`, `text-encoder-stream.test.ts`,
`html-rewriter.test.js`.

### Background
- `RequestContext` is the per-request state of `Bun.serve`.
`do_render_stream` writes the Response's status and headers into the
corked uWS response before it attaches the body stream, so by the time a
body error arrives `has_written_status()` is already true and `error()`
cannot supply a replacement. That contract is unchanged here: `error()`
is still not called once the status is committed.
- uWS corks a socket while a request handler runs: writes go to a
per-socket buffer that is flushed when the handler returns.
`force_close()` closes the socket directly and drops that buffer, so a
synchronous failure leaves nothing on the wire. An asynchronous failure
arrives after the flush, so the client gets the headers and then a
reset.
- Behavior change: the tests that pinned the old contract ("throw on
pull renders headers", "async generator ... continues to send the
headers", the pre-first-byte variants in
`serve-stream-body-error.test.ts`) now expect the connection to close
without a complete response.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Wire before the fix, for `new Response(new ReadableStream({ start(c) {
c.enqueue(chunk); c.error(new Error("boom")); } }))`:

```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8
Date: ...
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

0
```

After: the connection closes with 0 bytes sent (the status was still
corked). For a stream whose first `pull()` is asynchronous, the headers
were already flushed, so the client gets `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` plus headers
and then a connection reset with no terminating chunk. Both are
incomplete messages. The error reaches stderr through the existing
reporters; the production-mode asynchronous JS path stays quiet, as
today.

The forced close sends a RST, and a RST discards data the peer has not
read yet (always on Windows). The tests that expect the status line on
the wire before the failure therefore trigger the failure from the
client's data handler, once the status line has arrived. uWS terminates
the header block only with the first body byte, so those tests wait for
the status line, not for a blank line.

Dev server exception: under a bake dev server (`development: true` plus
an HTML route), a body that fails after the status is committed gets the
dev error page appended and the response ends normally, so the browser
shows the error after what was already streamed. JS streams always did
this; native bodies now take the same branch.

Probed sources, all now closed incomplete: `controller.error` in
`start`, synchronous and asynchronous `pull()` throw, async generator
throw, `Readable.toWeb` of an erroring node stream, a throwing
`TransformStream`, `DecompressionStream` on bad bytes, a `type:
"direct"` stream that throws, an HTMLRewriter handler that throws or
rejects after the first byte, a proxied upstream fetch body reset before
and after its first chunk. `Bun.file()` on a missing path already
reaches `error()` and answers 500 (unchanged). A user `Content-Length`
header on a stream Response is ignored in favor of chunked framing, so
it does not change the outcome.

Related PRs in this area: #35229 deferred the status line until the
first body byte so that `error()` can answer a pre-first-byte failure
with a 500 (a larger change to `do_render_stream` and the sink), closed
in favor of this PR; that design remains a possible follow-up. #38003
touches the same sites for the stored-ByteStream-error case. This PR
only enforces the framing invariant; it does not decide whether
`error()` should be reachable for these failures.

HTTP/3 is not fixed by this change: `uws_h3_res_force_close` closes the
QUIC stream with a FIN, which is a complete message in HTTP/3. That is
tracked separately in #40598.

A note from closing #40648. Since #40596 (ec70edb), close_incomplete_stream() (src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:1358 on main) calls force_close() for a body that fails before its first byte on every transport, HTTP/3 included. uws_h3_res_force_close on main still calls us_quic_stream_close(), so that case ends the H3 stream with a FIN today.

The Notes above say the "error before the first chunk" case still takes end_stream(). That is no longer true on main. After a rebase, the RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) from this PR also covers the before-first-byte case, and the client change here (re-send once only for H3_REQUEST_REJECTED) is what keeps that request from being sent twice. #40648 kept the normal end on H3 before the first byte as a workaround for the FIN. I closed it in favor of this PR.

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 15, 2026
### Problem
- Over HTTP/3, an aborted `fetch()` upload ends with FIN, not
RESET_STREAM. The server takes the truncated body for a complete
request: `await req.text()` resolves `"hello "`. HTTP/1.1 reports an
abort.
- With a declared `content-length`, the server's lsquic answers the
short FIN with CONNECTION_CLOSE (`H3_MESSAGE_ERROR`). The next stream
upload on the pooled session rejects with `TypeError: HTTP3StreamReset
fetching ...` (20 to 26 of 30 rounds).
- Cause: `ClientSession::fail`
(`src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:206`) calls `Stream::abort()`
(`lsquic_stream_close`) before `detach()`. The close queues FIN and sets
`STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`, so the `reset()` in `detach()` sends nothing.

### Fix
- `fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)`, the
teardown behind `detach()`. They no longer close the lsquic stream
first. An unfinished send half ends with
`RESET_STREAM(H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED)`. A finished one closes as before.
`Stream::abort()` is gone.
- `us_quic_stream_reset` always ends with `lsquic_stream_close`.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` shuts only the read half when no
RESET_STREAM is due.
- Correct per RFC 9114 section 4.1.1: RESET_STREAM cancels a request.
The HTTP/2 client sends RST_STREAM(CANCEL) here.
- Verified: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts` (2 new tests,
the released binary fails both) and five other HTTP/3 suites.
Self-reviewed: 10 concerns, 7 addressed (Notes).

### Background
- The fetch HTTP/3 client pools one `ClientSession` (one QUIC
connection) per origin. Each request is a `Stream` bound to one lsquic
stream.
- FIN ends the send half of a QUIC stream: "this is the whole message".
RESET_STREAM aborts it.
- lsquic checks a declared `content-length` when it reads the FIN
(`verify_cl_on_fin`). A mismatch closes the whole connection.
- `fail()` is the client's error path (user abort, malformed response,
decode error). `detach()` tears down every request.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**lsquic calls.** `lsquic_stream_close` runs `stream_shutdown_write`.
That sets `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE` and queues FIN when the headers are out.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` sends RESET_STREAM only when none of
`STREAM_RST_SENT`, `STREAM_FIN_SENT`, `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
`SMQF_SEND_RST` is set. With `do_close`, its other branch runs
`stream_shutdown_read` only. That does not set `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
does not make the connection tickable, and does not call
`maybe_schedule_call_on_close`. So `us_quic_stream_reset` now calls
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset(.., 0)` and then `lsquic_stream_close`. In
the reset branch this equals the old `do_close=1` (`stream_reset` ends
in `lsquic_stream_close`). In the other branch it is a full close.
Neither call runs a stream callback synchronously.

**Shape of the Rust change.** `detach()` is now a wrapper for
`detach_with(stream, false)`. `detach_with` holds the old body of
`detach()`, and its reset condition is `abort || !request_body_done`.
`fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)` where
they called `Stream::abort()` and then `detach()`. One function unbinds,
resets and frees, so no caller can leave an unbound entry in `pending`
(which `on_stream_open` would bind to a new lsquic stream), and lsquic
sees one close per stream.

**Wire, before** (`BUN_DEBUG_lsquic=1`):
```
stream: lsquic_stream_close() called
stream: have to create a separate STREAM frame with FIN flag in it
conn: generated 4-byte STOP_SENDING frame (stream id: 4, error code: 256)
conn: abort error: is_app: 1; error code: 270; error str: number of bytes in DATA frames of stream 4 is 6, while content-length specified of 50
[h3_client] stream_close status=0 delivered=false
[h3_client] conn_close status=8 ''
```
**Wire, after:**
```
stream: reset, error code 268
event: generated RESET_STREAM: stream 4; offset 75; error code 268
event: RX RST_STREAM frame: error code 268, stream 4, offset: 75
```
The next upload runs on the same session.

**Probes by hand (debug ASAN build).**
- A Buffer body aborted while the handler waits. Before (64 MB): the
handler saw `complete 40702` and `complete 103029` (bytes) in 2 of 3
rounds. After (16 MB): `aborted AbortError` in 3 of 3 rounds. String and
Buffer bodies take the same `abort()` path.
- A server that responds without reading the body (Bun.serve sends
STOP_SENDING), with and without an abort during the response: same
result before and after. Each request stream gets its lsquic `on_close`
on both endpoints at once, not at connection teardown.
`fetchH3Internals.liveCounts()` ends at `streams: 0`.
- The original 30-round repro (canary `09bb54630`: 4 to 10 of 30 ok): 30
of 30 ok after the fix.

**Self-review.** The review traced the lsquic calls state by state, the
Rust lifecycle, and the tests. It found no defect. Addressed:
- `abort()` had a contract that only a comment stated (`detach()` must
follow). The fold into `detach_with` removes the contract and the
repeated unbind block.
- Each new comment is one line.
- Test 2 says why the follow-up has a stream body.
- Test 2 asserts that the server saw `content-length: 50`.
- The matcher follows the repo idiom (`rejects.toMatchObject`).

Not changed:
- No test separates the `do_close` change in `us_quic_stream_reset` from
the old call. It matters only when lsquic already reset the send half
(the peer's STOP_SENDING came first), or when FIN is already out. The
difference (prompt `on_close`, connection made tickable) shows in the
lsquic log only, not in public behavior.
- `us_quic_on_reset(how=0)` still closes with `lsquic_stream_close` when
the *peer* resets the stream in the middle of an upload. That is the
same FIN from a different trigger. The peer has abandoned the stream by
then, an lsquic server discards the rest with no `content-length` check,
and no test with Bun.serve as the peer can observe it. The function is
shared with the server role, and #40598 changes it.
- The STOP_SENDING that goes out with the reset still carries
`H3_NO_ERROR`, as before.

**Also not changed.**
- `retry_or_fail` still refuses to re-send a stream body. #42579 and
#41564 change its rules. This PR removes the trigger, not that rule.
- lsquic treats a `content-length` mismatch as a connection error. RFC
9114 section 4.1.2 asks for a stream error, and section 8 lets an
endpoint escalate. A conforming client no longer hits it on abort.

**Related PRs.** #32678 describes the same lsquic guard and fixes only
the malformed-response paths with a new `fail_malformed`. A user abort
still sends FIN there. #40598 is the server-side mirror (a response body
that fails mid-body). Both give `us_quic_stream_reset` an error-code
parameter. The textual conflict with this PR is in that one function.
#42024 is where CI first showed this failure (build 115613). Whichever
of the two lands second should run test 2 again, because it sends a
caller `content-length` with a stream body.

**Tests.** The server route reports how the request body ended and which
`content-length` it saw. The client aborts only after the server has
read the first chunk, so the order is fixed. Test 2 also holds a
response open on the pooled session across the abort and expects its
full body afterwards. Its headers are in, so the client cannot move it
to another session. The test releases it only after the server has seen
the upload end: released sooner, it completes before the server closes
anything, and the check passes on the released binary. On its own this
check fails the released binary 5 of 5 runs (`Received: "first;"`).
Released binary: `"body": "complete"` and `HTTP3StreamReset`, 7 of 7
runs. Debug build: 15 of 15 runs pass. The whole file also passes with
the CI runner's ASAN settings (`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1`,
`BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1`, `detect_leaks=1`).

**Suites run on the debug ASAN build:** `fetch-http3-client` (58 pass),
`serve-http3` (63), `serve-protocols` (20), `fetch-http3-adversarial`
(27), `fetch-http3-cold-post` (2), `fetch-http3-syscall-fault` (7).

### Problem
- Over HTTP/3, an aborted `fetch()` upload ends with FIN, not
RESET_STREAM. The server takes the truncated body for a complete
request: `await req.text()` resolves `"hello "`. HTTP/1.1 reports an
abort.
- With a declared `content-length`, the server's lsquic answers the
short FIN with CONNECTION_CLOSE (`H3_MESSAGE_ERROR`). The next stream
upload on the pooled session rejects with `TypeError: HTTP3StreamReset
fetching ...` (20 to 26 of 30 rounds).
- Cause: `ClientSession::fail`
(`src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:206`) calls `Stream::abort()`
(`lsquic_stream_close`) before `detach()`. The close queues FIN and sets
`STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`, so the `reset()` in `detach()` sends nothing.

### Fix
- `fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)`, the
teardown behind `detach()`. They no longer close the lsquic stream
first. An unfinished send half ends with
`RESET_STREAM(H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED)`. A finished one closes as before.
`Stream::abort()` is gone.
- `us_quic_stream_reset` always ends with `lsquic_stream_close`.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` shuts only the read half when no
RESET_STREAM is due.
- Correct per RFC 9114 section 4.1.1: RESET_STREAM cancels a request.
The HTTP/2 client sends RST_STREAM(CANCEL) here.
- Verified: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts` (2 new tests,
the released binary fails both) and five other HTTP/3 suites.
Self-reviewed: 10 concerns, 7 addressed (Notes).

### Background
- The fetch HTTP/3 client pools one `ClientSession` (one QUIC
connection) per origin. Each request is a `Stream` bound to one lsquic
stream.
- FIN ends the send half of a QUIC stream: "this is the whole message".
RESET_STREAM aborts it.
- lsquic checks a declared `content-length` when it reads the FIN
(`verify_cl_on_fin`). A mismatch closes the whole connection.
- `fail()` is the client's error path (user abort, malformed response,
decode error). `detach()` tears down every request.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**lsquic calls.** `lsquic_stream_close` runs `stream_shutdown_write`.
That sets `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE` and queues FIN when the headers are out.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` sends RESET_STREAM only when none of
`STREAM_RST_SENT`, `STREAM_FIN_SENT`, `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
`SMQF_SEND_RST` is set. With `do_close`, its other branch runs
`stream_shutdown_read` only. That does not set `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
does not make the connection tickable, and does not call
`maybe_schedule_call_on_close`. So `us_quic_stream_reset` now calls
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset(.., 0)` and then `lsquic_stream_close`. In
the reset branch this equals the old `do_close=1` (`stream_reset` ends
in `lsquic_stream_close`). In the other branch it is a full close.
Neither call runs a stream callback synchronously.

**Shape of the Rust change.** `detach()` is now a wrapper for
`detach_with(stream, false)`. `detach_with` holds the old body of
`detach()`, and its reset condition is `abort || !request_body_done`.
`fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)` where
they called `Stream::abort()` and then `detach()`. One function unbinds,
resets and frees, so no caller can leave an unbound entry in `pending`
(which `on_stream_open` would bind to a new lsquic stream), and lsquic
sees one close per stream.

**Wire, before** (`BUN_DEBUG_lsquic=1`):
```
stream: lsquic_stream_close() called
stream: have to create a separate STREAM frame with FIN flag in it
conn: generated 4-byte STOP_SENDING frame (stream id: 4, error code: 256)
conn: abort error: is_app: 1; error code: 270; error str: number of bytes in DATA frames of stream 4 is 6, while content-length specified of 50
[h3_client] stream_close status=0 delivered=false
[h3_client] conn_close status=8 ''
```
**Wire, after:**
```
stream: reset, error code 268
event: generated RESET_STREAM: stream 4; offset 75; error code 268
event: RX RST_STREAM frame: error code 268, stream 4, offset: 75
```
The next upload runs on the same session.

**Probes by hand (debug ASAN build).**
- A Buffer body aborted while the handler waits. Before (64 MB): the
handler saw `complete 40702` and `complete 103029` (bytes) in 2 of 3
rounds. After (16 MB): `aborted AbortError` in 3 of 3 rounds. String and
Buffer bodies take the same `abort()` path.
- A server that responds without reading the body (Bun.serve sends
STOP_SENDING), with and without an abort during the response: same
result before and after. Each request stream gets its lsquic `on_close`
on both endpoints at once, not at connection teardown.
`fetchH3Internals.liveCounts()` ends at `streams: 0`.
- The original 30-round repro (canary `09bb54630`: 4 to 10 of 30 ok): 30
of 30 ok after the fix.

**Self-review.** The review traced the lsquic calls state by state, the
Rust lifecycle, and the tests. It found no defect. Addressed:
- `abort()` had a contract that only a comment stated (`detach()` must
follow). The fold into `detach_with` removes the contract and the
repeated unbind block.
- Each new comment is one line.
- Test 2 says why the follow-up has a stream body.
- Test 2 asserts that the server saw `content-length: 50`.
- The matcher follows the repo idiom (`rejects.toMatchObject`).

Not changed:
- No test separates the `do_close` change in `us_quic_stream_reset` from
the old call. It matters only when lsquic already reset the send half
(the peer's STOP_SENDING came first), or when FIN is already out. The
difference (prompt `on_close`, connection made tickable) shows in the
lsquic log only, not in public behavior.
- `us_quic_on_reset(how=0)` still closes with `lsquic_stream_close` when
the *peer* resets the stream in the middle of an upload. That is the
same FIN from a different trigger. The peer has abandoned the stream by
then, an lsquic server discards the rest with no `content-length` check,
and no test with Bun.serve as the peer can observe it. The function is
shared with the server role, and oven-sh#40598 changes it.
- The STOP_SENDING that goes out with the reset still carries
`H3_NO_ERROR`, as before.

**Also not changed.**
- `retry_or_fail` still refuses to re-send a stream body. oven-sh#42579 and
oven-sh#41564 change its rules. This PR removes the trigger, not that rule.
- lsquic treats a `content-length` mismatch as a connection error. RFC
9114 section 4.1.2 asks for a stream error, and section 8 lets an
endpoint escalate. A conforming client no longer hits it on abort.

**Related PRs.** oven-sh#32678 describes the same lsquic guard and fixes only
the malformed-response paths with a new `fail_malformed`. A user abort
still sends FIN there. oven-sh#40598 is the server-side mirror (a response body
that fails mid-body). Both give `us_quic_stream_reset` an error-code
parameter. The textual conflict with this PR is in that one function.
oven-sh#42024 is where CI first showed this failure (build 115613). Whichever
of the two lands second should run test 2 again, because it sends a
caller `content-length` with a stream body.

**Tests.** The server route reports how the request body ended and which
`content-length` it saw. The client aborts only after the server has
read the first chunk, so the order is fixed. Test 2 also holds a
response open on the pooled session across the abort and expects its
full body afterwards. Its headers are in, so the client cannot move it
to another session. The test releases it only after the server has seen
the upload end: released sooner, it completes before the server closes
anything, and the check passes on the released binary. On its own this
check fails the released binary 5 of 5 runs (`Received: "first;"`).
Released binary: `"body": "complete"` and `HTTP3StreamReset`, 7 of 7
runs. Debug build: 15 of 15 runs pass. The whole file also passes with
the CI runner's ASAN settings (`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1`,
`BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1`, `detect_leaks=1`).

**Suites run on the debug ASAN build:** `fetch-http3-client` (58 pass),
`serve-http3` (63), `serve-protocols` (20), `fetch-http3-adversarial`
(27), `fetch-http3-cold-post` (2), `fetch-http3-syscall-fault` (7).

#42900)

### Problem

- An HTTP/3 `fetch()` whose QUIC connection dies before the response
header can abort the process. ASan: `heap-use-after-free READ of size 8`
in `HTTPClient::fail_from_h2` (`src/http/lib.rs:2108`), from
`ClientSession::retry_or_fail`
(`src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:288`). Release builds panic:
`fetch on the HTTP thread holds a ticket`.
- The retry queues the request on a new session through
`ClientContext::connect`. When no connection opens, connect fails that
session with `PendingConnect::fail_session`, which fails every request
queued on it. That dispatch frees the `AsyncHTTP` the client is part of.
Then the retry fails the same client again.

### Fix

- `connect` takes the request back off the session before it fails that
session. A `false` return leaves the request on no session, so the
caller is its only failure path, which is what the other two callers
assume.
- Correct because the session is one call old: the request `enqueue`
just queued is its only entry, so `detach` leaves `fail_session` nothing
to fail. The teardown, the registry removal and the session's last
reference do not change.
- The retried request keeps the error of the stream that closed.
`start_` still reports `ConnectionRefused` for its own failed connect.
- Verified: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts`, one new test
(main aborts with an empty stdout). Also the three other `fetch-http3-*`
suites, `serve-http3` and `serve-protocols`.

### Background

- The h3 fetch client pools one QUIC connection per origin.
`retry_or_fail` re-sends a stream that closed before any response
header, once, on a fresh connection.
- `ClientContext::connect` finds a pooled connection or opens one, and
queues the request. `enqueue` binds a `Stream` to the request before the
QUIC connect, because that stream has to exist when the handshake
completes.
- `HTTPClient::start_` sets
`defer_terminal_dispatch_until_connecting_is_complete` before its own
connect call, so a failure inside that frame is recorded and dispatched
later. That flag is why the two initial connect sites survived the
double failure.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Fail-before.** With `src/` and `packages/` back on `55c11065f2`, the
new test gives `exitCode: 1` and an empty stdout. That run, the passing
run and the suites above were on `55c11065f2` plus this change, built
with LLVM 21. The branch has since merged main, which needs LLVM 23
(#42851). The build environment used here does not have it, so on the
merged tree only `cargo check` and `cargo clippy` for `bun_http` were
run locally, and CI is the test run for it. The three commits that merge
brought in touch none of the files involved. The ASan frames are the
report above:

```
READ of size 8 at 0x... thread T4 (HTTP Client)
  #2 <bun_http::HTTPClient>::fail_from_h2                src/http/lib.rs:2108

  #4 h3_client::callbacks::on_conn_close                 src/http/h3_client/callbacks.rs:151
freed by thread T4 (HTTP Client) here:

  #10 <bun_http::HTTPClient>::fail_from_h2               src/http/lib.rs:2122

  #13 <ClientSession>::retry_or_fail                     src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:287
```

A release build aborts as well, so the fault is not an ASan artifact:
`on_async_http_callback_raw` resets the client's stage before the
dealloc, so the once-only guard in `fail_from_h2` cannot stop the second
dispatch. Making that guard survive the reset is a separate change.

**How the test reaches it.** A connect to a resolved hostname probes
each address with a throwaway UDP `connect(2)`, and gives up when no
entry is reachable (`packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c`,
`us_quic_connect_result`). An `LD_PRELOAD` shim allows the first probe
and refuses every later one, so the reconnect fails inside `connect`.
`rejectUnauthorized` against the suite's self-signed certificate fails
the handshake, which is what closes the stream before any header and
starts the retry. `localhost` answers from `is_localhost_name` as `[::1,
127.0.0.1]` without the resolver, so no connect waits for DNS, and the
shim refuses the IPv6 entry the way a host without an IPv6 route does,
which pins both connects to the same address. Linux only, and only where
a C compiler exists, like the DPLPMTUD shim test in
`fetch-http3-syscall-fault.test.ts`. 5 runs, 5 passes, about 500 ms each
on the debug ASan build.

**Other ways to reach the same failure.** Any synchronous failure of the
QUIC connect does it: a cached resolver error, an IP literal whose
family the shared client endpoint cannot serve, `lsquic_engine_connect`
returning NULL, or the shared client UDP endpoint dying on a hard
`recvmsg` error and the poll registration for its replacement failing.
The last one needs no resolver, so it reaches this path for an
IP-literal origin too. One test is enough: all of them end in the same
`return false`, and the endpoint-replacement route needs several
iterations of a loop to line up.

**Earlier shape.** The first version of this PR removed the retry's
failure call instead, and documented `connect` as owning the request.
Review pushed back: it left both `if !connect { self.fail(..) }` arms in
`start_` dead, it made the bool unusable by every caller, and it set the
opposite contract from #40385, which removes the same double failure
from the callee side. This version fixes the callee, which also keeps
the closed stream's error in the rejection instead of replacing it with
`ECONNREFUSED`.

**Scope.** `retry_or_fail` is also edited by #41564 (a retry budget) and
#42579 (no replay of a non-idempotent request), and #40598 changes which
pre-header closes retry. None of them touch this branch, so this applies
on top of any of them, and #40385 keeps the same contract.
