Problem

  • A node:http2 client session reports closed === false after its transport goes away. Node reports true (destroyed is true in both). An h2c peer that sends SETTINGS and hangs up gives {"closed":false,"destroyed":true} on bun 1.4.3-canary.1 and {"closed":true,"destroyed":true} on node v26.3.0.
  • session.closed reads the #closeCalled latch (src/js/node/http2.ts:5472), and only close() set it. Node's socketOnClose calls session.close() before it destroys the session. ClientHttp2Session.#onClose (src/js/node/http2.ts:5403) only destroyed.

Fix

  • Set the latch in the client session's socket 'close' handler, before the existing destroy. Skip it when the session is already detached: a bare destroy() on a live transport and a transport error keep closed false, as node's socketOnClose does once the socket no longer points at a session.
  • The handler sets the latch instead of calling close(): the GOAWAY has no transport left, the deferred teardown is redundant next to the destroy, and close() would trip a destroy() early-out for a socket that dies before connect and drop the session 'close' event.
  • Verified: test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js (four new tests, the client hang-up one fails on stock bun). Also the 261 vendored test-http2-*.js suites, the rest of test/js/node/http2/, fetch-http2-client and the grpc-js session tests.
  • Self-reviewed: 4 concerns raised, 3 addressed (transport-error test, scope statement, node:http2: destroy the transport when a transport error destroys a client session #42175 interaction check). The fourth is a pre-existing hang in the same handler, described in Notes and left for its own change.

Background

  • Http2Session#close() is the graceful shutdown: send GOAWAY, let in-flight streams finish, then destroy. destroy() is the immediate teardown. Node reports them through session.closed and session.destroyed, independently.
  • socketOnClose is node's handler for the session socket's 'close' event (lib/internal/http2/core.js, v26.3.0). It cancels the streams, calls session.close(), then destroys the session. Bun's equivalent is the private #onClose on each session class.
  • ServerHttp2Session.#onClose already calls this.close(), so only the client side changed. A new test covers the server path too.
Notes: session state after each teardown, node v26.3.0 vs bun

{closed, destroyed} read from the session's 'close' event. The peer is a raw TCP socket that speaks the h2 preface.

                                        node v26.3.0      bun main          this branch
client: peer FIN                        true,  true       false, true       true,  true
client: peer RST                        false, true       false, true       false, true
client: peer GOAWAY(NO_ERROR) then FIN  true,  true       true,  true       true,  true
client: destroy(), live transport       false, true       false, true       false, true
server: peer FIN                        true,  true       true,  true       true,  true
server: peer RST                        false, true       false, true       false, true
server: destroy(), live transport       false, true       false, true       false, true

A client socket that dies before the session connects also reported closed: false and now reports true, which is what node reports for that case.

The detached-session guard is what keeps the destroy() rows at false: the socket's own 'close' arrives after destroy() has already detached the session, and without the guard that late event would flip closed to true. The third new test asserts it by waiting for the socket's 'close' before it reads the session state.

test-http2-forget-closed-streams.js takes about 70s under the debug+ASAN build, before and after the change.

Scope. This PR only aligns the closed getter. The client #onClose still differs from node's socketOnClose in two ways that this diff does not touch:

  • A socket that closes before the session connects does not raise ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED on the session. #onClose derives it from this.connecting, which reads the socket, and bun's net.Socket already reports connecting === false by the time its 'close' fires. Node still reports true there.
  • session.close() while connecting, followed by a socket that closes without an 'error' event, never emits the session 'close' event (stock bun and this branch alike, node emits it). #onClose detaches the parser before it calls destroy(), and the client destroy() returns early on #closed && !#connected && !#parser. That early-out carries its own history (node:http/https/http2: raise Node v26.3.0 compat to ~94%, sync the upstream suites, and fix the Windows/macOS transport-layer teardown bugs they exposed #32488), so removing it belongs in a separate change with its own CI signal.

Interaction with #42175. That PR stops the client #onError from detaching the socket before destroy(). destroy() itself still detaches it, so the !this.destroyed guard keeps closed false on the transport-error path either way. Checked by merging that branch locally and re-running the four new tests.

Node's socketOnClose calls session.close() before it destroys the
session, so a client session whose socket closed reports closed === true
as well as destroyed === true. Bun only set the latch in close(), so
session.closed stayed false after a peer hung up.

Mark the session closed in the client session's socket 'close' handler,
unless the session is already detached: a bare destroy() on a live
transport keeps closed false, like node. The server session already does
this through close().

Reproduction, h2c over a plain TCP peer that hangs up after its SETTINGS frame:

const http2 = require("node:http2"), net = require("node:net");
const SETTINGS = Buffer.from([0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);
const srv = net.createServer(c => {
  c.on("error", () => {});
  c.on("data", () => {});
  c.write(SETTINGS);
  c.once("data", () => c.end());
});
srv.listen(0, () => {
  const ses = http2.connect("http://127.0.0.1:" + srv.address().port);
  ses.on("error", () => {});
  ses.on("close", () => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify({ closed: ses.closed, destroyed: ses.destroyed }));
    srv.close();
  });
});
  • node v26.3.0: {"closed":true,"destroyed":true}
  • bun 1.4.3-canary.1+5f554969b: {"closed":false,"destroyed":true}
  • this branch: {"closed":true,"destroyed":true}

bun bd test test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js -t "after the transport goes away": the client test fails on stock bun and passes with the fix. The other two guard the cases where node keeps closed false.

LGTM — one-line Node-compat alignment with tests covering both the positive and negative contracts.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified the !this.destroyed guard maps to Node's socketOnClose early-return: destroyed reads this[bunHTTP2Socket] === null, which is set by destroy() before the socket's late 'close' lands, so a bare destroy() correctly leaves closed false (third test).
  • Confirmed the server path already calls this.close() in its own #onClose (line 4328), so only the client side needed changing; the new server test is regression coverage.
  • Tests await the 'close'/'remoteSettings' events directly, use listen(0), assert a combined {closed, destroyed} object, and the raw-peer helper drains inbound data so the hang-up is a FIN not an RST.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes one line of logic in src/js/node/http2.ts (ClientHttp2Session.#onClose, the socket 'close' handler): before the existing this.destroy(...), it now sets the private #closeCalled latch when the session has not already been detached. This makes session.closed report true after the peer hangs up, matching Node's socketOnClose which calls session.close() before destroying. The #closeCalled field's doc comment is updated, and a 6-line comment cites the upstream Node source and explains why the latch is set directly rather than calling close() (no transport for the GOAWAY, and close()'s deferred teardown would trip destroy()'s early-out on a not-yet-connected session). Three new describe.concurrent tests in test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js cover client peer-FIN, server peer-FIN, and client destroy() on a live transport.

Security risks

None. This is a state-flag alignment in the node:http2 compat layer with no auth/crypto/permission implications. No untrusted input parsing is added; the raw HTTP/2 preface bytes in the tests are fixture constants sent to a local in-process server.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The behavioral change is a single guarded field write on a well-understood teardown path, and the guard (!this.destroyed) reuses the exact same predicate the neighboring #onError already uses at line 5427 to implement Node's detached-session early-return. I confirmed the server-side #onClose at line 4328 already calls this.close(), so the "fix the whole class" concern is satisfied — the server test is added coverage for existing behavior, not a test that passes for a different reason. The destroyed getter reads this[bunHTTP2Socket] === null, which #onClose nulls only after the new guard, so first-entry ordering is correct.

Other factors

The tests follow the harness conventions well: listen(0, "127.0.0.1"), event-driven awaits with no sleeps, combined-object .toEqual assertions, describe.concurrent for independent server-spawning cases, and try/finally cleanup registered before the assertions. The on('error', () => {}) handlers are teardown-noise swallowers on sockets whose 'close' event is the awaited condition (which fires regardless), matching the pattern used elsewhere in this test file. The new comment is longer than the "one line" ideal but it documents a non-obvious Node-compat invariant with an upstream citation, which REVIEW.md explicitly encourages for ported behavior. Bug hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings and no prior reviewer objections in the timeline.
