Conversation
A pause() before the connection opens, or inside onopen, did not hold the frames that arrived in the same read as the 101 response. The upgrade client hands those bytes to the connected client, which parsed them in a microtask that did not look at the pause. The client now keeps a paused flag. While it is set, the handshake overflow and any bytes that still reach handle_data (the rest of a TLS read, the next chunk of a proxy tunnel) wait in held_data. resume() queues the microtask that parses them, ahead of fresh socket data. A peer that ends the connection still gets its last bytes parsed: a reset, the end of a TLS session, or a tunnel close parse held_data first, paused or not. A Close frame found there names the close code although it cannot be echoed any more.

…rses its held bytes A Ping in the held bytes made send_pong report an abrupt close because the socket was gone, and the frames behind it were dropped. A reply from a message handler did the same. While the held bytes of a peer-ended connection are parsed, a Pong, a Close echo and a send() are now skipped, and the peer's Close frame names the close code on the tunnel path too. handle_end parses the held bytes as well, while the socket can still write. resume() from JS holds a ref, because a resume that cannot re-arm the poll closes the socket.

… the held bytes While a peer-ended connection parses its held bytes, close() from a message handler found no socket and the close event reported 1006. On main the same handler runs while the socket is still open and reports its own code. close() now reaches send_close_with_body in that state, which reports the code and the reason without a write. The branch for a socket that is gone for another reason is back to what main has.

I re-reviewed the latest push (df8e11c) and found no new bugs; the earlier inline findings are addressed in the code as it stands now. Because this reworks buffering, refcount and microtask lifetimes in the native WebSocket client, a human look would still be worthwhile before merging.
What was reviewed:
send_close_with_bodypeer_endedbranch now usesdispatch_code.unwrap_or(code), so a handler'sclose(4000, "bye")during a peer-ended parse reports its own code; thecloseentry point admits that state; the!has_tcp()arm is back to the base behaviour.parse_held_datacallers (handle_close,handle_end,handle_tunnel_close,HeldDataTask::run,resume_and_parse_held_data) all run under aRefPtrguard from their callers;dispatch_close/dispatch_abrupt_closeare no-ops onceoutgoing_websocketis taken, so a Close frame among held bytes cannot double-dispatch inhandle_close.HeldDataTaskpending-activity ref: released when the task runs, whenparse_held_datadetaches it, or inDropon VM shutdown;held_datais counted inmemory_costand cleared inclear_data.- New tests wire
onerror/oncloseto reject in the 101-flight cases and useport: 0with local peers only.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR replaces the one-shot InitialDataTask/InitialDataHandler in src/http_jsc/websocket_client.rs with a persistent held_data buffer plus paused/peer_ended flags and a re-queueable HeldDataTask microtask, so pause() also holds the frames that arrived with the 101 response and any bytes that reach handle_data while paused (TLS read remainder, proxy tunnel chunks). Peer-ending paths (handle_close, handle_end, the tunnel close via the new handle_tunnel_close) parse the held bytes first with peer_ended set so control-frame replies do not write to a dead socket. The JS resume exports now take ThisPtr and go through resume_and_parse_held_data under a RefPtr guard. The test file test/js/web/websocket/websocket-pause.test.ts gains cases across plain/TLS/proxy modes for pause before open, pause inside onopen, peer reset with held frames, Ping/Close in the 101 flight, and close() from a handler during a peer-ended parse.
Security risks
No auth, crypto or permission logic is touched. The one adversarial surface is held_data growth: bytes are appended only while paused is set, and paused is set only when pause_stream() reports the socket stopped reading, so what can accumulate is bounded by bytes already in user space (or a kernel-queue drain that ends in handle_close, which parses and clears). The Close-frame reason on the peer_ended path is validated with is_valid_utf8 before being turned into a JS string, mirroring the base path. I did not find a way for untrusted bytes to reach a write after the socket is gone.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is native lifetime code: the client can be freed by user JS running inside the parse loop, and the change adds new re-entrant entry points (parse_held_data from close handlers, a microtask that follows a back-reference, a resume that can synchronously close the socket). Three earlier review rounds each surfaced a real issue in this area (Pong write after end, missing guard in resume, close() code lost during a peer-ended parse), all of which are now addressed in the diff, and the latest round produced nothing new. That history is exactly why an approval without a human look is not warranted, even though I found nothing further.
Other factors
The test coverage is broad and hermetic (raw net/tls peers, in-process CONNECT proxies, port: 0), and the new failure-event wiring means regressions surface as rejections rather than timeouts. One pre-existing gap the author explicitly left to another PR (a paused socket is never resumed on close(), so the FIN is deferred) is unchanged by this diff. peer_ended is never reset in clear_data, but the Rust client is one-shot per connection, so nothing observes it afterwards.

Alsotest/js/web/websocket/andtest/js/first_party/ws.Background
WebCore::WebSocketowns the JS state. The RustWebSocket<SSL>owns the socket and parses frames.pause()callsus_socket_pause, which removes the readable interest from the poll. Bytes in user space are not affected.Notes
Source. No user reported this. A fuzz run that compares the
pause()docs with the behaviour found it, with a raw-frame peer that writes the 101 and five frames in one write.Repro (any release with
pause()): anetserver answers the upgrade with101 ... \r\n\r\nplus five text frames in onesocket.write(). The client callsws.pause()right afternew WebSocket(). All fivemessageevents fire whilews.isPaused === true. With this change none fires untilresume(), then all five arrive in order.Parked bytes. main already parks the handshake overflow (
InitialDataHandlerowns the bytes until its microtask runs). This PR does not add a second parking place. The bytes move to oneheld_databuffer on the client, the task becomes a trigger without a payload, andInitialDataHandleris gone. The parse loop itself does not change: apause()inside amessagehandler still lets the rest of that read through. Whether that should change is a separate decision and not part of this PR.Why
handle_dataholds bytes while paused. Through a CONNECT proxy the TLS session lives inWebSocketProxyTunnel. It decrypts a flight in 64 KB chunks, and the chunks after the first reachhandle_datasynchronously, after the pause is already in effect. Without the hold, the four tunnel variants of the new 101 test fail (checked by removing the branch). A direct TLS read can do the same.Why
held_datastays bounded. The flag is set only whenpause_stream()reports that the socket stopped reading. After that, only bytes that were in user space already can arrive, or the kernel queue that uSockets drains when an error event ends the connection (1.6 MB in a probe). That last case ends inhandle_closeat once, which parses the bytes.Peer endings. On main a reset while paused makes uSockets drain the kernel queue, the parser dispatches every message, and then
close1006 fires. Holding these bytes and then dropping them inclear_data()would lose them, sohandle_close(without a pending local close) and the tunnel's close parseheld_datafirst.close()andterminate()still drop it, like they drop unread kernel data. Without a rule for the Close frame,wsswith a Close frame and close_notify in the 101 flight reports 1006 under a pause, and main reports the peer's code. The rule is in "Writes during that parse" below. The existing "no socket" branch ofsend_close_with_bodyis unchanged.Writes during that parse.
handle_closeand the tunnel close setpeer_endedbefore they parse. While it is set,send_pongskips the write,send_close_with_bodyreports the code without a write (the peer's Close frame, or aclose()that a message handler calls, as on main where that handler runs with the socket still open), and asend()from a message handler is dropped. Before that, a Ping among the held frames madesend_pongreport an abrupt close (no socket), and the frames behind it were lost.handle_endparses too, but the socket can still write there, so it sets no flag. I could not build a test that reacheshandle_endwith held bytes: an unpaused client parses the overflow insidedid_connect, and uSockets defers the EOF of a paused socket untilresume().Checked by removing code, then running the new tests with real proxies: no parse in
handle_closefails 3, no parse in the tunnel close fails 2, no hold inhandle_datafails 4, nopeer_endedcheck insend_pongfails 4, none insend()fails 4, none insend_close_with_bodyfails 2, none inclose()fails 2, only the peer's Close frame naming the code fails 4.Known and not from this PR. Through a CONNECT proxy, an unpaused client reports 1006 "Failed to write" when a Close frame arrives together with the end of the TLS session, also on 1.4.3-canary. The tunnel answers close_notify before it delivers the last bytes, so the echo cannot be written. The new close-code test skips the unpaused tunnel cases for that reason. The paused tunnel cases pass, because the held bytes are parsed without a write.
