Problem

  • The --isolate / --parallel swap only sweeps what exists at the file boundary. Work a finished file left in flight lands later (a thread-pool job settles an old-realm promise, a killed child reports its exit). Its continuation ran during the next file, which adopted the timers, servers, subprocesses and chdir it made.
  • Cause: nothing marks the outgoing realm finished. The swap (src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs) bumps test_isolation_generation, but JSC keeps running the old global's microtasks and Job completions ignore the generation.

Fix

  • The swap first sets the old global's microtaskRunnability to Discard. JSC's drain checks it per task and drops the old realm's reactions, as WebCore does for a stopped document.
  • Job records its generation and complete_erased releases a stale completion unrun. This covers then bodies that call back directly (node:crypto). EventLoop::run_callback* does not enter a function of a retired realm (a killed child's late onExit), checked only under --isolate.
  • Verified: test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts (new cases fail on 1.4.3-canary, pass with the fix), parallel.test.ts, and the password, pbkdf2 and randomBytes suites.
  • Self-reviewed: 3 concerns, all documented limits (see Notes).

Background

  • --isolate gives each file a fresh Zig::GlobalObject on one JSC::VM. The old global stays alive, so native code can still settle its promises and call its functions.
  • JSC attributes each microtask to a global. A promise reaction goes to the promise's own realm (JSPromise::fulfillPromise uses realm()). MicrotaskQueue::drainImpl reads that global's microtaskRunnability() before each task.
  • Job (src/jsc/job.rs) carries thread-pool work back to the JS thread. Timers already record the generation and skip a stale fire.
Notes
  • Reported internally (fuzz ledger fix(bun:test): don't assert when formatting a Set/Map with a non-numeric size property #31292) against 1.4.2 and canary d316760. Repro: a.test.ts leaks Bun.password.hash(argon2id).then(() => { process.chdir("/"); setInterval(...); Bun.serve(...) }). b.test.ts sleeps 2 s and sees the interval tick three times, the kernel cwd at /, and A's server answering its fetch. With this change B sees none of it, in --isolate and in --parallel.
  • The three checks sit at gates that already existed for VM teardown (script_allowed() in complete_erased, the exception gate in run_callback) or inside JSC. No API entry point (Bun.serve, setTimeout, process.chdir, ...) needed its own guard: the finished file's script does not run, so it creates nothing.
  • The swap is the finished file's process exit. A leaked pipeline that needs that file's JS to make progress (an un-awaited Bun.build with async plugins, say) now stalls instead of completing under the next file.
  • What can still reach a retired realm: calls into JS that use neither a microtask nor run_callback (an FFI JSCallback, a napi threadsafe function, a FinalizationRegistry cleanup), and functions of a node:vm context or ShadowRealm that the finished file created (those are separate globals and are not flipped). With a debugger attached (--inspect), JSC wraps microtasks in DebuggableMicrotaskDispatcher, which does not read runnability, so the microtask fence is off there. The Job and run_callback checks still apply in all of these cases, which covers the reported thread-pool path.
  • The new test does not sleep. A's leaked chain hops through the thread pool until B writes a marker, then acts. B turns the loop through the thread pool up to 40 times and asserts that A never acted, that A's killed child's onExit never ran, and that the kernel cwd is still the fixture dir.
  • bun test --isolate: make a finished file's jest timer controls inert #41790 makes the jest fake-timer controls inert when called from a stopped context, one symptom of this root cause. With this change the leaked .then that called them no longer runs. The two changes do not conflict.
  • Self-reviewed before opening.

…tions

The per-file global swap swept what existed at the file boundary. Work the
finished file left in flight (a thread-pool job, a child the swap killed)
landed later and ran the file's continuation while the next file's global
was live, so the timers, servers, subprocesses and chdir it made were
adopted by that file.

Retire the outgoing global at the swap: JSC discards its microtasks from
then on (setMicrotaskRunnability(Discard), as WebCore does for a stopped
document), Job completions scheduled by an earlier file are released unrun,
and EventLoop::run_callback does not enter a function of a retired realm.

Status

Reproduced on main d316760 (1.4.3-canary) with the two-file repro from the internal report, under --isolate and --parallel=2:

b.test.ts:
[dead A] interval tick in /        (x3, while B's test runs)
[B] cwd at start: <dir> | cwd now: <dir> | ./b.test.ts exists: false
[B] fetch to A's late server: served by dead A

With this branch B sees no ticks, ./b.test.ts exists: true, and no port file from A, in both modes. The new late completions cases in test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts encode the same check without sleeps and fail on 1.4.3-canary (acted: true, cwd: <tmp>, onExit: true).

Reviewed: this PR should stay open. #41790 covers one symptom (jest timer controls from a stopped context); this is the fence at the realm itself.

Walkthrough

The runtime retires completed test-isolation realms, blocks callbacks from those realms, fences stale jobs by generation, and adds serial and parallel regression tests for delayed completions.

Changes

Retired test-isolation completion handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Realm retirement and callback entry gate
src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp, src/jsc/JSValue.rs, src/jsc/event_loop.rs
Teardown marks retired realms for microtask discard. New bindings identify retired-realm values. Native callback paths reject callbacks from retired realms.
Generation-based job completion fencing
src/jsc/job.rs
Jobs record the test-isolation generation that scheduled them. Stale completions are released without invoking JavaScript.
Isolation completion regression coverage
test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts
Tests cover delayed thread-pool and child-process completions in serial and parallel isolation runs.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 03e9b

This change fences late asynchronous completions from finished isolated test files, reducing cross-file side effects. A bounded risk remains that the underlying microtask discard behavior may not fully isolate all queued work.

What the swap stops at the boundary (a WebView with a command in flight,
sockets) still delivers its rejection or close to the finished file's
handlers, as before. Only work that lands after the swap is fenced.
Fixes webview-chrome-pipe.test.ts 'retires the transport with the file
that spawned it'. Also shortens the new comments.

4383-4396: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Guard JSMicrotaskDispatcher tasks with the owning global's runnability.

MicrotaskQueue::drainImpl checks microtaskRunnability() only for non-JSMicrotaskDispatcher tasks. Its dispatcher branch checks only currentGlobalObject and then calls dispatcher()->run(task). JSGlobalObject::queueMicrotaskSlow creates this task form when a cross-task token exists or a debugger is attached. A task owned by a retired global can therefore bypass QueuedTaskResult::Discard and run. Apply the same runnability check before dispatching these tasks, and discard them without calling run when the result is Discard.

On the JSMicrotaskDispatcher note: MicrotaskQueue::drainImpl is JavaScriptCore code (vendored WebKit), not part of this tree, so that branch cannot be changed here. It only carries tasks when a debugger or a cross-task token is attached (JSGlobalObject::queueMicrotaskSlow). The PR notes already list this: with --inspect, the microtask fence is off and the Job generation check and the run_callback gate are what hold, which covers the reported thread-pool path. A WebKit-side follow-up can make the dispatcher branch read microtaskRunnability() too.

Status

The fence is in and verified. Repro from the internal report, on this branch, under --isolate and --parallel=2: no interval ticks inside file B, the cwd stays the fixture dir, and A's late server never starts. On 1.4.3-canary B saw three ticks, cwd /, and "served by dead A".

Changes since the first push:

  • The retire point moved to after the swap's teardown. Zig__GlobalObject__stopActiveDOMObjectsForTestIsolation still delivers the rejection for what the swap stops (a WebView with a command in flight, sockets) to the finished file's handlers. Only work that lands after the swap is fenced. This fixes webview-chrome-pipe.test.ts "retires the transport with the file that spawned it", which the first push broke.
  • Both new cases assert stderr when the child run exits non-zero.

Local runs with the debug ASAN build: test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts 35/35, test/js/bun/webview/webview-chrome-pipe.test.ts 15/15, test/cli/test/parallel.test.ts, plus the password, pbkdf2 and randomBytes suites.

CI on 03e9b9a: one red lane, test-crypto-dh-leak.js on debian 13 x64-asan. That test is not in the parallel allowlist, so it never runs with --isolate and this diff cannot reach it. It fails because process.config.variables.asan reports 0 on bun's ASAN build, so common.isASan is false and the test does not take the skip that Node takes under ASAN. Reported for separate triage.

…he swap

The per-file swap closes what the finished file left open. That called the
file's own close and error handlers after the file had exited: a throw printed
`error:` under the next file's header with exit code 0, a node:http request in
flight printed `socket hang up`, and what a handler created was the next
file's problem.

#41831 retires the realm after that teardown, so its fence covered microtasks
and thread-pool completions but not these direct calls. Retire the realm first,
before anything is stopped, and have Bun__JSValue__call treat a callee of a
retired realm the same way it already treats a stopping VM: a silent no-op. The
per-call cost is one bool load, set only once --isolate has retired a realm.
robobun added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 9, 2026
A FinalizationRegistry cleanup that a finished file created reaches none
of the realm fence's checks. JSC schedules it as a DeferredWorkTimer
ticket, and runFinalizationCleanup calls the user callback directly, so
neither the microtask fence, nor the Job generation check, nor
run_callback sees it. It ran in the retired realm while a later file
executed.

Zig::GlobalObject::scriptExecutionStatus now reports Stopped for a
retired realm, and runPendingWork asks the realm's status before it runs
a task, as DeferredWorkTimer::doWork does. A retired realm's deferred
work is dropped, like the file's timers are dropped at the swap.

Still not fenced (unchanged from #41831): calls into JS through an FFI
JSCallback, a napi threadsafe function or async completion, functions
of a node:vm context or ShadowRealm the finished file created, and
microtasks while a debugger is attached.
Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 9, 2026
### Problem
- `bun test --isolate`: a `FinalizationRegistry` cleanup that a FINISHED
file created runs while a later file executes. A throw from it is
charged to the later file, which then loses its remaining tests to
`Cannot call test() after the test run has completed`. In the
constructed repro (fuzz-found, no user report) 7 of 25 tests ran, exit
1.
- The fence of #41831 does not reach it: JSC schedules it as a
`DeferredWorkTimer` ticket and calls the callback directly, so no
microtask, `Job` or `run_callback` check applies. `Bun::runPendingWork`
(`JSCTaskScheduler.cpp:122`) ran it with no realm check.

### Fix
- `Zig::GlobalObject::scriptExecutionStatus` reports `Stopped` for a
retired realm, from the fence's own predicate (`microtaskRunnability()
== Discard`, now `Bun::isRetiredTestIsolationRealm`).
- `runPendingWork` asks that status before it runs a task, as JSC's
`DeferredWorkTimer::doWork` does, and drops the work, like the file's
timers at the swap.
- Correct because the swap is that file's process exit: its script never
runs again. WebCore answers `Stopped` for a detached document.
- Verified: a new `isolation.test.ts` case fails on main 20 of 20,
passes 6 of 6 here. Self-reviewed: 5 concerns, 4 addressed, 1 deferred
(Notes).

### Background
- `--isolate` gives each file a fresh `Zig::GlobalObject` on one
`JSC::VM`. The old global lives until the GC takes it.
- `DeferredWorkTimer` carries native completions (registry cleanups,
wasm compiles, `Atomics.waitAsync` wake-ups) to the JS thread, one
ticket each. Bun installs `onScheduleWorkSoon`, so they run from its
event loop, not JSC's `doWork`.
- `ScriptExecutionStatus` is how JSC asks the embedder whether a realm
may run script. Bun answered from the VM alone, so a retired realm said
`Running`.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

- Reported internally (fuzz ledger #45175) against main d745f03. There
is no user report. The repro is constructed: `a.test.ts` creates a
`FinalizationRegistry` whose callback throws and registers 500 objects,
then six files each run `Bun.gc(true)` and a short sleep per test, all
under `BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1`. On main, 27 of 30 runs lose 15 to
19 of the 25 tests to the `Cannot call test()` path. The organic reach
is lower than that: it needs `--isolate` or `--parallel`, a collection
between the finished file's last loop drain and the swap, and a cleanup
callback that throws or acts on shared state.
- The new test sets `BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1` in the child for the
same reason: natural GC timing queues the cleanup in that window only
sometimes.
- What is still not fenced, unchanged from the list #41831 gave: calls
into JS through an FFI `JSCallback`, a napi threadsafe function or napi
async completion, functions of a `node:vm` context or `ShadowRealm` that
the finished file created (those globals are not retired, so their own
deferred work also still runs), and microtasks while a debugger is
attached. The review of this change also pointed at the Worker `close`
event: `WorkerMessagingProxy::workerGlobalScopeDestroyedInternal`
dispatches it through `Worker::dispatchCloseEvent`
(`src/jsc/bindings/webcore/Worker.cpp:139`), which has no realm check,
so a finished file's `worker.on("close")` handler may run under the next
file when the terminated worker's thread exits late. I have not
reproduced that one and left it out of this PR.
- Scope: this PR is the realm fence only. The separate CRASH face of the
same area (a queued job reads `ticket->scriptExecutionOwner()->vm()`
after the realm's global is collected and the ticket cancelled:
`ASSERTION FAILED: !isCancelled()` on debug, a stale read on release)
belongs to #39994, which moves ticket ownership into JSC through
oven-sh/WebKit#487. The status gate here is orthogonal to that: JSC's
`doWork` performs the same check, so it survives the ownership move. The
two touch adjacent lines in `runPendingWork` and will need a trivial
rebase, nothing more.
- An earlier version of this change also cancelled pending tickets of
unmarked realms at GC end, from a
`VM::ClientData::reconcileWeakReferencesAtGCEnd` hook. That is the shape
#39994 already tried and review rejected, so it is not here.
- `runPendingWork` is the only caller of `scriptExecutionStatus` this
adds. JSC's `doWork` is the only other caller, and with Bun's hooks
installed its task queue and ticket set are both empty, so the new
`Stopped` answer changes nothing else. `Bun__VM__scriptExecutionStatus`
(the VM-wide answer that timers use) is untouched. A debug `ASSERT`
records that no Bun realm reports `Suspended`, which `doWork` would
re-queue rather than drop.
- During process exit (`is_shutting_down`), deferred work that is still
dispatched is now dropped as well, which is what timers already do and
what Node does for a `FinalizationRegistry` callback queued from
`process.on("exit")` (`test-finalization-registry-shutdown.js`).
- #41998 is complementary. It stops an unhandled error during collection
from deleting the active file's tests, which is the sink this bug
reached. With both, a stray error neither runs in a dead realm nor
deletes a live file's tests.
- The new test's fixture re-registers fresh garbage from inside the
cleanup, so the registry has dead entries at every collection for as
long as its realm is alive. The cleanup writes its marker only once the
second file says it is running, so the assertion cannot pass by
accident.

dylan-conway added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 1, 2026
…ses it and whether or not it ever opened (#44327)

### What does this PR do?

Fixes a use-after-free that crashes `bun test --isolate` / `--parallel`,
and the class of bug behind it.

#### The crash

Crash reports on 1.4.0 through canary, always under `bun test`:

```
us_internal_ssl_close / us_internal_socket_close_raw
PostgresSQLConnection::ref_and_close
PostgresSQLConnection::fail_with_js_value
PostgresSQLConnection::on_connection_timeout
__bun_fire_timer
```

1. At the end of a file, the `--isolate` swap calls `close_all` on every
socket group.
2. Closing the pool's socket rejects the pending query. User code
queries again (any polling loop), so the pool dials a new socket into
the same group, from inside `close_all`.
3. The new socket links in at the head, behind the walk. `close_all`'s
force-drain loop then closed it with `us_internal_socket_close_raw`,
which dispatched **nothing** for a socket whose connect had not
completed.
4. The new connection stays `Connecting`, with its timeout timer armed
and a pointer that is freed at the end of the tick. When the timer fires
it closes freed memory.

TLS is not involved: `us_socket_close` takes the SSL path because the
freed memory reads `s->ssl != 0`. The repro has TLS off.

#### The class

Closing a `us_socket_t` that never opened was silent, so every owner and
every bulk closer had to special-case it. Whether a connect gets a
`us_socket_t` or a `us_connecting_socket_t` depends on IP literal vs
hostname and on the DNS cache, which owners cannot see, and closing a
`us_connecting_socket_t` already dispatches `on_connecting_error`. libuv
and Node also complete a pending connect request when its handle is
closed.

Places that did not special-case it:

| Where | Symptom |
|---|---|
| `close_all` force-drain, Postgres | the crash above |
| `close_all` force-drain, MySQL and `RedisClient` | same use-after-free
from their connection timeouts (ASAN) |
| `close_all` force-drain, `Bun.connect` | use-after-free in
`NewSocket::finalize` (ASAN), promise never settles |
| Postgres `connectionTimeout` against a host that never answers | the
query rejects, but the process never exits: `ref_and_close` takes an
event loop ref that is released "on socket close" |

#### The fix

**`packages/bun-usockets/src/socket.c`, the `else if
(!s->connect_state)` branch:** whoever holds a socket hears that it is
gone exactly once, whoever closed it. `on_close` if it opened,
`on_connect_error` if it never did. A happy-eyeballs candidate is held
through its `us_connecting_socket_t`, which is told instead. The
contract is written down at the vtable in `libusockets.h`.

In usockets:

- `us_internal_socket_after_open` closes a failed connect through the
same function, so the three Rust trampolines no longer each "close
first, then notify". The fd is still closed before the handler runs,
which the libuv backend needs.
- `close_all` is one walk: close gracefully, force it if TLS deferred.
The `SEMI_SOCKET` branch and the force-drain loop are gone. What a
handler opens is behind the walk and is not chased: with closes that
notify, a force-drain never ends for a handler that dials again from
`connectError`. No caller that frees its group next can gain a socket
during the walk (`Listener`, the uWS `App`: only through listeners,
closed first; `HTTPContext`: a client holds a ref on it, so none is
attached when it drops), and `us_socket_group_deinit` asserts it.
- A connect that was closed is reported as `ECANCELED` on both arms
(`LIBUS_ECANCELED`; a `us_connecting_socket_t` used to say
`ECONNABORTED`). `connect(2)` cannot fail with it, so a holder can tell
"closed" from "failed", and it is what `uv_close` completes a pending
request with.
- `us_socket_shutdown` does nothing to a socket that is still
connecting. It used to overwrite the poll type with `SOCKET_SHUT_DOWN`,
which passes for a socket that opened (and stops polling for the
connect's completion).

In the `--isolate` swap:

- It sweeps sockets exactly twice, as it already does for every other
kind of handle: once while the finished file's script can hear about it,
and once after the realm is retired, for what its close handlers dialed.
Nothing can dial after that, and a `debug_assert!` says no socket of the
file is left.
- Each sweep walks the loop's groups through `loop->data.iterator`,
which `us_internal_loop_unlink_group` advances past a group it unlinks,
as the timeout sweep does. It used to save `next` and read
`next->linked` after close handlers had run, by when the group's owner
may have freed it.
- That argument needs "nothing enters a retired realm's script again"
(`ZigGlobalObject.h`) to be true, and it was only enforced for
microtasks and in `EventLoop::run_callback*`. A direct `JSValue::call`
(every `Bun.connect` handler) still ran the finished file's script; the
new assertion caught it on its first run. `run_callback`'s check moved
down into `JSValue::call`, still behind `test_isolation_enabled`, and
`AsyncContextFrame::call` and
`ScriptExecutionContext::isJSExecutionForbidden` gained it, next to
their "VM is stopping" and "graph was disposed" checks.

In the owners:

- `NewSocket::on_connect_error` always releases the ref `connect_finish`
took (as `on_close` does) instead of inferring it from the detached
state, and does not enter JS from a finalizer (as `on_close` does not).
It keeps `ECANCELED` and a real `ECONNABORTED` instead of folding them
into `ECONNREFUSED`.
- `node:net` passes `ECANCELED` on to the request as it is. It does so
synchronously, where libuv completes a cancelled request on a later loop
turn: deferred, it lands on a `connect()` made right after `destroy()`
and fails that one, which works on main.
- A Postgres connection that failed sends its close_notify and FIN
(`shutdown()`), then closes without waiting for the peer's. A graceful
TLS close waits for it, and the event loop ref with it, so against a
peer that has gone silent the process never exited; `close()` hid that
with the manual `unref` this PR removes. The close_notify is still sent
because idle and max-lifetime timeouts take this path with a healthy
peer, and PostgreSQL logs a TLS connection that ends without one as an
error.
- MySQL's `clean_queue_and_close` moved from `MySQLConnection` (`&mut
self`) to `JSMySQLConnection` (`&self`), so the event a close now raises
for a connecting socket does not run under a `connection_mut()` borrow.

Hand-written compensation for the silent close, deleted:

- `NewSocket::close` and `NewSocket::terminate` (`is_semi_connect`)
- `ValkeyClient::close` (ran `on_close` by hand)
- `PostgresSQLConnection::close` (manual `poll_ref.unref`)
- `WebSocketUpgradeClient::cancel` (took the ext owner back)
- the `SEMI_SOCKET` branch of the `close_all` walk

Also deleted: `thunk::ext_owner` and `ExtSlot::get`, which only the
trampolines used, and `us_socket_detach`, which had no callers and
queued a socket for freeing without telling anyone.

Kept, with the outdated reasoning removed from the comment: MySQL
`do_close` and Postgres `close` still fail with "Connection closed"
first, because the socket event would otherwise report a failed connect;
the HTTP/2 parser still leaves connecting sockets to the connect-error
path. fetch's HTTP client is unaffected: it marks a socket dead before
every close.

#### Not changed, and the same on main

- `sql.end()` against a connected TLS peer that has gone silent never
resolves (Postgres also keeps the process alive), and a MySQL connection
that fails or idles out against one keeps its fd open: both still close
gracefully.
- `RareData::close_all_socket_groups` still bounds its rounds at 8, and
`us_loop_close_all_groups` still saves `next` across a close. Script is
forbidden there.
- `MySQLConnection::read_and_process_data(&mut self)` still calls into
JS under its borrow.
- A leaked `RedisClient` with the default `autoReconnect` still dials
again from its retry timer, inside the next file. The swap's second
sweep is about what close handlers dial. None of the finished file's
script runs for it.
- What can still reach a retired realm is what #41831 listed and no
general boundary covers: an FFI `JSCallback`, a napi threadsafe
function, functions of a `node:vm` context or `ShadowRealm` the file
created. None is called from a socket's close path.

### How did you verify your code works?

New tests. No step that has to succeed is timed.

| Test | 1.4.2 (`USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1`) | main, debug+ASAN | this branch,
debug and release |
|---|---|---|---|
| `isolation.test.ts`, "what a leaked $client's close handler dials is
gone before next file": Postgres | fail (5/5 runs) | fail | pass |
| MySQL | fail (5/5) | fail | pass |
| `RedisClient` | fail (5/5) | fail | pass |
| `Bun.connect` to a name (its `open` handler runs in the next file) |
fail (5/5) | fail | pass |
| `Bun.connect` to an address (use-after-free in the finalizer, needs
ASAN) | pass | fail | pass |
| `sql-close-pending-connection.test.ts`, "the process exits after the
connection timeout of a dial that never completes": Postgres | fail |
fail | pass |
| MySQL (pins current behaviour) | pass | pass | pass |
| "the process exits after the server's refusal of a TLS connection
whose peer reads nothing more": Postgres | fail | fail | pass |
| after `close()`: Postgres (guards the removed `unref`) | pass | pass |
pass |
| both, MySQL (pins current behaviour) | pass | pass | pass |
| `tls-sql.test.ts`, "postgres sends a close_notify when idleTimeout /
maxLifetime closes a TLS connection" (guards the non-waiting close) | |
pass | pass |
| `connect-autoselectfamily-stale-timer.test.ts`: `destroy()` during an
attempt reports `ECANCELED` | fail | fail | pass |
| `node-net.test.ts`, "closing a handle that was shut down while
connecting fails its attempt" | fail | fail | pass |
| "a socket destroyed while connecting to an address / several addresses
can connect again at once" (guards the synchronous completion: both fail
with it deferred) | | pass / fail (no `connectionAttemptFailed`) | pass
|

The blackhole listener fixture moved from `valkey-gc.test.ts` to
`harness.ts` so three files share it.

Standalone repro of the reported crash (a fake Postgres server, a leaked
polling query, `connectionTimeout: 1`, a second file that outlives it):

| Build | `--isolate` | without |
|---|---|---|
| 1.4.2, Linux x64 | 5/5 crash | 0/5 |
| canary bf42a52, Linux x64 | 5/5 crash | 0/5 |
| 1.4.0, macOS arm64 | 3/3 crash | 0/3 |
| this branch, debug and release | 0/5 | |

The gdb backtrace on canary matches the reported stack frame for frame,
and an ASAN build plus tracing in `close_all` shows the sequence above
(walk closes the first socket, connect, force-drain closes the second
with `semi=1`, use-after-free on the second).

`node:net` against Node 26.7, with a dial to a port that never answers:

| | Node | main | this branch |
|---|---|---|---|
| `destroy()` during an `autoSelectFamily` attempt |
`connectionAttemptFailed` `ECANCELED`, `close` | `close` | as Node |
| `destroy(err)` | `error`, `connectionAttemptFailed` `ECANCELED`,
`close` | `error`, `close` | `connectionAttemptFailed` `ECANCELED`,
`error`, `close` |
| the kernel aborts the first attempt (`ss -K` in a network namespace,
`SO_ERROR` = `ECONNABORTED`) | `ECONNABORTED`, connects to the next
address | `ECONNREFUSED`, connects to the next address | as Node |

The last row has no automated test: producing that error needs
`CAP_NET_ADMIN`. A single connect that is destroyed, ended, or written
to and destroyed, and an attempt that times out, give the same events on
all three.

PostgreSQL's own log, on the `postgres_tls` container, when an idle or
expired connection is recycled: nothing, as on main. Closing without the
close_notify logged `could not receive data from client: Connection
reset by peer` every time.

Every dialer, under ASAN and LeakSanitizer on a debug build, against a
port that never answers, by address and by hostname (the six callers of
`SocketGroup::connect*` are `NewSocket`, the WebSocket upgrade client,
Postgres, MySQL, Valkey and fetch's HTTP client; nothing in C++ dials):

| | main | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| the owner closes its pending dial: `net` `destroy()` and
`_handle.terminate()`, `tls` `destroy()`, `WebSocket` `close()` at once
and later, `wss`, `terminate()`, an aborted `fetch`, a `Bun.connect`
left to process exit (18 cases) | clean | clean |
| a worker is terminated, or exits, with pending dials whose failure
handlers dial again, for `Bun.connect`, `net`, `ws`, `wss`, Postgres,
MySQL, Redis, `fetch` (32 cases) | clean | clean |
| the same eight under `bun test --isolate`, pending at the swap (16
cases) | heap-use-after-free in 4: `Bun.connect`, Postgres, MySQL and
Redis by address | clean |

As a control for the first row, not releasing the ref in
`NewSocket::on_connect_error` and in the upgrade client's
`handle_connect_error` makes LeakSanitizer report all 16 of their cases.

Existing tests, on a debug+ASAN build, Linux x64: 566 files:
`test/js/bun/net`, `node/net`, `node/tls`, `node/http`, Node's
`test-net-*` and `test-tls-*`, `web/websocket`, `first_party/ws`,
workers, `module-graph`, `test/cli/test/{isolation,parallel}`, and `sql`
and `valkey` against Postgres, MySQL and Redis in Docker. Every file
that failed was rerun alone on this branch and on a debug build of main:
nothing fails only on this branch. What fails on both is 5 s timeouts of
heavy tests on a debug build, tests that need `host.docker.internal`,
and tests that flake on both. The usockets change on its own was also
run against 1171 of Node's
`test-{net,tls,http,https,http2,socket,worker}-*`, `web/fetch`,
`bun/http`, `node/http2`, DNS, hot reload, the inspector and third-party
clients.

Cost of the retired-realm check in `JSValue::call`, outside `--isolate`.
`perf stat -e instructions:u`, three runs each, the same tree with and
without the condition, 2,000,000 `HTMLRewriter` element handler calls
(nothing but callbacks):

| | without | with |
|---|---|---|
| release, no LTO | 6.272 to 6.274 billion | 6.277 to 6.285 billion |
| release, LTO | 5.981 to 5.982 billion | 5.988 to 5.990 billion |

`is_from_retired_test_isolation_realm` is `#[cold]` and
`#[inline(never)]` because inlined it keeps `call` itself from being
inlined: that measured 6.339 to 6.341 billion without LTO.
