…kLength The server path of the native request() closed the stream locally with REFUSED_STREAM and wrote nothing. The peer never heard about the failed response and the client request hung. Send RST_STREAM FRAME_SIZE_ERROR and a graceful GOAWAY instead, the same as the trailer path and node. The client path keeps REFUSED_STREAM for a stream that never reached the wire.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether reject_oversized_header_block holding &mut Stream across the three JS re-entries (onFrameError, end_stream's onStreamError, send_go_away's onEnd) can dangle: both callers (send_trailers, request) obtain the stream via enter_stream_dispatch, whose armed dispatch depth defers the only map-entry free path until the guard drops, and end_stream returns early on an already-CLOSED stream, so the helper does not introduce a new use-after-free over what the trailer path already did.
Extended reasoning...
The helper takes &self plus a &mut Stream and dispatches into JS three times, which is the pattern src/CLAUDE.md flags for aliasing review. In both call sites the Stream reference comes from enter_stream_dispatch (h2_frame_parser.rs:2401), whose GuardedStream keeps a dispatch-depth guard live so the pending-close drain in rewrite_read cannot free the map entry while the borrow exists; this is the same mechanism the pre-existing trailer path relied on before the refactor, so the extraction is behavior-preserving on lifetime. The client branch change is limited to hoisting get_identifier() into a local with ensure_still_alive, which does not change the dispatched values. The substantive behavioral concerns (session-wide teardown of sibling streams, duplicate GOAWAY, last_stream_id including push ids, and the already-encoded HPACK state on the client path) are covered by the inline findings and warrant a human maintainer's judgment on the intended Node-parity semantics before merge.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.
The oversized header block path wrote GOAWAY with last_stream_id, which a server push advances past the last peer-initiated id. Use last_peer_stream_id, as the goaway() host function does. The end handler now records that the GOAWAY was sent, so destroy() does not write a second one.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the new kGoawaySent = true in both native end handlers (src/js/node/http2.ts:4285, 5305): the only two onEnd dispatch sites (send_go_away and on_error in src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs) each write a GOAWAY before dispatching, so the flag is accurate on every path that reaches destroy() from there. I also checked the &mut Stream held across the re-entrant JS in reject_oversized_header_block: request() reborrows through enter_stream_dispatch, whose armed dispatch depth defers the stream free, the same shape the existing send_trailers site already relied on.
Extended reasoning...
Findings are being posted inline, so this body only records what else was examined on this push. The new kGoawaySent flag was traced from both JS end handlers back to the two native onEnd producers (send_go_away, which writes the GOAWAY frame first, and on_error, which fires after the engine already wrote one), so destroy() skipping its own GOAWAY is correct there and the earlier duplicate-GOAWAY concern is addressed in the code. The &mut Stream borrow in the new helper survives the onFrameError / onStreamError / onEnd callbacks because request() obtains it via enter_stream_dispatch, which keeps dispatch_depth armed and defers the pending-close drain that frees streams; this mirrors the pre-existing trailer path the helper was extracted from. The GOAWAY now carries last_peer_stream_id, matching the JS goaway() host function. I did not run the new test locally (no debug build present in this checkout), so the test's pass/fail claims rest on the author's report.
On a JS Duplex transport the write handler drops bytes once the session is no longer connected. The RST_STREAM and GOAWAY that the native side corked for an oversized header block were lost, and the peer hung.

src/js/node/http2.ts— Servers now receive two GOAWAY frames, and fire their 'goaway' listener twice, every time a client session calls destroy() or destroy(err); the base sends one. The new block at http2.ts:5816-5821 sends the GOAWAY, but the old block at http2.ts:5842-5847 was left in place instead of moved, so it sends it again. goaway() never sets kGoawaySent (only close() and the end handler do), so the second check passes for every plain destroy and for every error-code destroy. Fix: delete the stale block at http2.ts:5842-5847 so the client destroy path, like the server one at http2.ts:4732-4737, sends exactly one GOAWAY.

After respond() is refused the handler keeps using the stream for the rest of the tick. The compat API ended it with an empty DATA frame, and sendTrailers() wrote a HEADERS frame, both after the RST_STREAM. noTrailers() and sendTrailers() now return early for a closed stream, like writeStream(). Tests: wire-level frames for the core and compat API, and a client request over the limit that must leave the HPACK encoder in step.

…ver stream before close() A client request refused for maxSendHeaderBlockLength set the stream to CLOSED but kept its map entry and JS context until the session ended. Free them the way end_stream() does. The deferred close after a refused 1xx block ended the writable of a stream that had sent no HEADERS, which wrote an empty DATA END_STREAM before any response. Reset the stream first, so close() sends nothing. The trailer path's GOAWAY now carries the last peer-initiated stream id.
Its HEADERS never reached the wire. Once the freed entry is evicted, the deferred rstStream() from _destroy would write a raw RST_STREAM for an id the peer considers idle. Mark the stream as never announced, as the queued-request path does.
The client branch of request() frees the refused stream before it calls into JS. The test closes, writes to, destroys and aborts such streams, with forced GCs, before and after the entry is evicted. The ASan lane turns a stale access into a crash.

src/js/node/http2.ts— Extends the open entry at h2_frame_parser.rs:7194: a client that calls req.close(code) with a non-zero code on a refused request can still lose the whole session with PROTOCOL_ERROR. The new kNeverAnnounced flag set at http2.ts:5021 is only read in _destroy at http2.ts:2634; close() at http2.ts:2545-2548 still schedules rstNextTick for the never-sent stream id. Fix: every deferred RST_STREAM for a stream must skip ids the peer never saw, including close(code) and the finish-deferred path, e.g. check kNeverAnnounced inside rstNextTick or before both close() schedulings, while still resetting streams whose HEADERS did go out.

Repro from the issue with the fix:
/smallgets status 200,/biggetsStream closed with error code NGHTTP2_FRAME_SIZE_ERROR, the later requests fail as on node.History of this PR: the first shape sent RST_STREAM plus GOAWAY from native and destroyed the session, because the refused block was already in the encoder table and a graceful close made the next header block fail with
COMPRESSION_ERROR. Two checks against node v26.3.0 then showed that this cut a healthy sibling stream short (clean END_STREAM with a truncated body) and made a same-tickrespond()after a refusedadditionalHeaders()throw. Moving the check before the encode removes the table problem and allows node's graceful close. TheflushCorked()host method and thedestroy()reorder from the first shape are gone with it.The staged check uses nghttp2's bound (
12 + 12 * fields + bytes, plus 5 priority bytes). It is larger than the encoded size, so a block that nghttp2 refuses is refused here too. The existing tests withmaxSendHeaderBlockLength: 100000and 90000-byte fields still hit the encoder failure path (COMPRESSION_ERROR), not this check.Node sends the graceful GOAWAY twice (
onFrameErrorand the session close). Bun sends it once, and the tests assert onegoawayevent.Review findings addressed across the pushes: the GOAWAY stream id (
last_peer_stream_id, both sites), the duplicate GOAWAY, the Duplex transport delivery, the DATA queue drain indestroy(), the refused client stream leak, the empty DATA before HEADERS after a refused 1xx block, and the test cleanup. Not in this PR:_destroy()still ends the writable of an unresponded server stream with an empty DATA frame on a plainstream.destroy(). That is pre-existing and separate. #41520 reworks the same header path for the validation order and will need a rebase. #43419 changes the neighbouringmaxSessionMemorycheck.
