Follow-up to #43947, which is merged. Rebased on main.

Problem

  • After shutdown() or end() during a handshake the socket still seals handshake records. us_socket_raw_write sends nothing after a FIN, so ssl_flush_write_batch (packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c) parks them as a spill that can never drain.
  • us_internal_ssl_close waits for that spill, so the socket never closes. The spill holds the loop's one spill slot, so the next half-closed handshake never finishes.
  • No report is linked. 1.4.2 reaches it through socket.shutdown(), node:tls since tls: end() and destroySoon() before the handshake completes now send the FIN #42181 (not released).

Fix

  • ssl_flush_write_batch and the unbatched path of BIO_s_custom_write drop records that the socket can never send.
  • One predicate, us_internal_socket_can_raw_write, gates the raw writes, the raw shutdown and both drops.
  • Correct because these records can never reach the peer. Node completes the same handshakes.
  • Verified: 12 new tests, 10 fail without this change when run alone. Node v26.3.0 passes 34 of 34. Self-reviewed: 16 concerns raised, 14 addressed.

Background

Downsides

  • A slow reader still takes the spill slot. This PR removes only the owner that never lets go.
  • The peer never gets the dropped records. Nor does it on the base or on Node.
  • Release .text: 58154908 to 58153884 B. Each flush costs 1 more direct call.
Notes

Cases, each test run alone, on the head of #43947 before its merge (771b423) and with this change

Each socket calls shutdown() or end() while its handshake runs. The peer keeps the connection open.

Case #43947 This PR
Bun.listen, requestCert, rejectUnauthorized: true, TLS 1.2, untrusted client handshake(true, authorized=false, error), the socket never closes same report, then close
Same, trusted client (control) stays open until the client ends the connection, then both close same
Both rows, while another socket waits for a slow reader the handshake never reports same as the two rows above
Two Bun.connect clients, TLS 1.3 close never fires both report the handshake, both close
Bun.connect client, TLS 1.2, ended after the server's first flight close never fires handshake(false), close
Bun.connect client that writes to a second TLS socket from its handshake callback close never fires the write arrives, close
Two tls.connect clients, the first (TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2) stays open the second never emits secureConnect it emits it, as on Node v26.3.0
tls.createServer, TLS 1.2, end() in the handshake, untrusted client (control) both sockets close same
Four tls.connect sockets after one such handshake in the same process flight and first write leave in 2 segments 1 segment

Run in one process, more tests fail on #43947 than the table shows: a test that times out leaves the socket that holds the spill slot. That is also the only way in which TLS 1.3 client sees 'end', not ECONNRESET, when the server tears down right after rejecting its certificate (#40653) failed. No CI run has shown the lost batching.

The two-client probe gives the same result on the released 1.4.2 (1.4.2+744846f84): the second client never reports its handshake.

Mechanism

  • With batching the handshake records go into the batch, and ssl_flush_write_batch sends them. After a FIN us_socket_raw_write returns 0. The flush parked all of it as a spill and took the spill slot. A spill drains from the writable event, and a socket that sent its FIN gets none.
  • us_internal_ssl_close defers a close with code 0 or 2 while the socket has a spill.
  • Batching needs a free slot (hs_batching in us_internal_ssl_on_data, batching in us_internal_ssl_write). With the slot taken, BIO_s_custom_write writes each record at once. After a FIN that write returns 0, the BIO asks for a retry, and SSL_do_handshake answers SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE until the socket closes.
  • Three places turn a short raw write into a wait for a writable event: the unbatched write, the flush, and ssl_drain_spill. The first two now drop. ssl_drain_spill has no guard on purpose: us_internal_ssl_shutdown defers the FIN behind a spill, and a close releases the spill, so a socket that sent its FIN has no spill to drain.

Why a drop is correct

  • SSL counts a sealed record as written. It cannot be sent again, and after the FIN it cannot be sent at all.
  • The base already reports a completed handshake for the first half-closed socket on a loop: the batch takes the records and the report runs before the flush. The drop makes the second socket, and a socket next to a slow reader, behave like the first.
  • us_internal_ssl_write refuses application data after a FIN, and ssl_handle_shutdown sends no close_notify after one. So only handshake records and alerts reach the new branches.

Not in this PR

Self-review

Rejected, with the reason:

  • Move the tests that fail by a timeout into child processes. With this change no test times out. afterAll now releases what a timed-out test left, so the tests after the block are not affected.
  • A test for the case with no relay. The peer has to keep the connection open after our FIN, and a relay is how a test decides that.

Measurements

Call counts are gdb breakpoint hit counts on debug builds with the debug info stripped. Sizes are from release builds of both trees.

  • Healthy handshake, 100 in-process Bun.listen / Bun.connect connections: SSL_do_handshake 600 and 600, BIO_s_custom_write 700 and 700, ssl_flush_write_batch 300 and 300, bsd_send 600 and 600, bsd_recv 600 and 600, us_internal_socket_close_raw 200 and 200.
  • Both new branches are behind a write that the wire did not take in full. A socket that can write pays one more compare there, and nothing on a full write.
  • Release .text: 58154908 to 58153884 B (size -A). Stripped bun: 80844320 B both. ssl_flush_write_batch grows from 214 to 254 B and is no longer inlined into its callers: BIO_s_custom_write 683 to 512 B, us_internal_ssl_close 1195 to 999 B, us_internal_ssl_on_data 2651 to 2240 B, us_internal_ssl_shutdown 608 to 412 B. So each flush is one direct call more in a release build, 3 per healthy connection pair.
  • The shared predicate changes no size: us_socket_raw_write 178 B, us_socket_raw_writev 356 B and us_internal_socket_raw_shutdown 85 B before and after.
  • Allocations: the change adds none, and a dropped flight saves the us_malloc of its spill.

Status

How to reproduce, on main (with #43947 merged), one test for each run:

  • bun bd test test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts -t "two clients finish" times out: close never fires. 7 of the 8 new tests in that file fail this way.
  • bun bd test test/js/node/tls/node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts -t "second client" times out. node --test passes 34 of 34.
  • bun bd test test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts -t "after another socket shut down" fails with 3 chunks for each connection, not 2.

With this PR all of them pass. The released 1.4.2 shows the same stall in a two-client probe. #43947 is merged, and this branch is rebased on main.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether the new drop branches in openssl.c can swallow application data: us_internal_ssl_write refuses entry once us_internal_ssl_is_shut_down sees POLL_TYPE_SOCKET_SHUT_DOWN (openssl.c:2714), and nothing inside its SSL_write loop can send a FIN, so only handshake records and alerts reach ssl_can_still_write paths. The "0 means spill pending" return of ssl_flush_write_batch is also unchanged for every caller that inspects it (only the 131072-byte mid-write flush does, and it is unreachable after a FIN).

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a small helper to the usockets TLS layer that drops sealed records after the socket has sent its FIN or closed, in both the unbatched BIO write path and the batched flush path, plus six new tests. It touches the TLS write path (security-sensitive transport code) in a stacked PR, and the verified findings are test-quality nits only; a human should still weigh the drop semantics against the base PRs.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Both nits from the previous round (relay helper now tracks and destroys its sockets; the raw socket's error is wired to reject) are addressed in the new commits. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that the shared us_internal_socket_can_raw_write predicate is behavior-preserving at all three socket.c sites (us_socket_is_closed is exactly flags.is_closed, same polarity), and that the flush-path drop returning 0 without setting ssl_fatal_error cannot stall us_internal_ssl_write's 128KB flush loop, since that entry point already refuses writes once the poll type is POLL_TYPE_SOCKET_SHUT_DOWN.

Extended reasoning...

The native change is small (two early-outs in openssl.c gated on a new shared predicate in internal.h, plus a refactor of three gates in socket.c) but sits on the usockets TLS write path and the loop-wide spill slot, and the PR is stacked on two unmerged PRs, so a human look at the design remains worthwhile. It touches no auth or input-parsing surface; the only behavioral effect is dropping ciphertext that a FIN already made unsendable. The remaining inline finding is a test-structure nit.

Walkthrough

TLS handshake handling now distinguishes half-close events from writable events. Raw TLS writes that cannot be delivered after FIN are consumed without retry or spill. Verification results remain available after shutdown when peer-chain verification occurred. Tests cover shutdown handshakes, verification outcomes, and backpressure.

Changes

TLS shutdown during handshake

Layer / File(s) Summary
Raw-write eligibility and ciphertext output
packages/bun-usockets/src/internal/internal.h, packages/bun-usockets/src/socket.c, packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c
A shared predicate checks whether a socket can write raw data. TLS ciphertext that cannot be sent after FIN is treated as consumed and is not added to the spill buffer.
Handshake and verification state
packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c
Handshake updates distinguish events where FIN ends the handshake from writable events that can continue it. Socket state records peer-chain verification, and failed handshakes use that state when returning verification results.
Shutdown and handshake regression coverage
test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts
Tests cover shutdown handshakes, trusted and untrusted peers, withheld handshake flights, concurrent connections, and backpressure.

us_socket_raw_write sends nothing once the FIN went out. A record that
the handshake seals after that can never leave.

- ssl_flush_write_batch drops it. A spill for it held the one spill
  slot of the loop until the socket closed, and us_internal_ssl_close
  waited for it.
- BIO_s_custom_write drops it on the unbatched path. A write retry
  stalled the handshake while another socket held the spill slot.
…drops

- us_internal_socket_can_raw_write (internal.h) replaces the three
  copies of the condition in socket.c and the private one in openssl.c.
- New tests: records that a socket seals before its handshake completes,
  the flush for another socket, a rejecting TLS 1.2 server while a slow
  reader holds the spill slot, and the one-segment flight of the sockets
  that follow a half-closed handshake.
- A test that times out runs no finally. afterAll releases what it left.

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 two new native drop branches: the early return 0 in ssl_flush_write_batch leaves no stale batch state (len/owner are already cleared at packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c:615-616 before the raw write), and the unguarded ssl_drain_spill is consistent because us_internal_ssl_shutdown defers the FIN behind any spill (openssl.c:2821-2825), so a socket that sent its FIN cannot own the slot. Application data cannot reach either branch: us_internal_ssl_write refuses writes once the socket is shut down (openssl.c:2710).

Extended reasoning...

The native change is three small, equivalent predicate replacements in socket.c plus two guarded drop branches in openssl.c on the TLS write path; the rest is test coverage. A human should still weigh the TLS record-drop semantics, and the one inline finding is about test hygiene rather than the fix itself.

I reviewed the latest five commits and found no bugs; the earlier inline nits (raw-socket error wiring, relay helper tracking its connections, describe.serial, leftOpen registration for the slow-reader writer) are all addressed in code. Because this changes what the uSockets TLS write path does with sealed records, a human look at the two drop sites in packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • us_internal_socket_can_raw_write is exactly the old is_closed || poll type == SHUT_DOWN condition (us_socket_is_closed is just s->flags.is_closed), so the three socket.c replacements are behavior-preserving and still avoid us_socket_is_shut_down().
  • Both drops in openssl.c are only reachable after us_socket_raw_write returned 0 because the FIN went out or the fd is closed; ssl_write_batch_len/owner are already cleared before the early return 0, and no spill slot is claimed, so nothing dangles.
  • The only caller that acts on a 0 from ssl_flush_write_batch is the application-data loop in us_internal_ssl_write, which cannot run after a FIN (us_internal_ssl_is_shut_down checks the poll type first).
  • ssl_drain_spill is intentionally unguarded: us_internal_ssl_shutdown defers the FIN behind a spill, so a socket with a FIN out has no spill to drain.
Extended reasoning...

The change is three small native edits (a shared inline predicate in internal.h, three call-site replacements in socket.c, and two early-return drop sites in openssl.c) plus about 700 lines of new tests in test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts and test/js/node/tls/. It touches the TLS transport write path, which is a security-relevant surface: records sealed after the socket's own FIN are now silently dropped instead of parked in the loop's spill slot. The native refactor was verified equivalent to the previous conditions and the drop paths leave batch and spill state consistent, and the author addressed every inline nit from prior runs, which is why no findings are reported. It is not approved outright because deliberately dropping TLS records in the shared uSockets layer is a design decision on a critical path that warrants a maintainer's judgment, and no CODEOWNERS entry covers packages/bun-usockets.

Merge order against #44290: #44290 has to merge first. Measured today on debug builds of main (4b02e10).

The probe makes five connections, one after the other, in one process. Each is tls.connect({ socket }) on a connected socket, then end(). The server is Node in its own process, TLS 1.3, and it keeps its side open. Its chain is trusted, and its certificate is for another name.

Build Handshakes that complete What the client reports
Node v26.3.0 5 of 5 ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID for each
main 1 of 5 no error for the one that completes
main with the source change of this PR 5 of 5 no error for any
#44290 1 of 5 ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID for the one that completes
#44290 with the source change of this PR 5 of 5 ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID for each
  • On main, a node:tls client that called end() accepts a trusted certificate for another name when its handshake completes (node:tls: check the server's name for a handshake that completes after end() #44290 fixes that).
  • The defect that this PR fixes keeps the second and later handshakes of a process from completing. So today it also limits that case to one connection. With this PR alone, each connection is accepted with no error.
  • The two PRs conflict only in test/js/node/tls/node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts: both insert a block of tests. Keep both blocks.

…r end() (#44290)

Regression from #42181 (in no release). Merge before 1.4.3 is tagged,
and before #43957 and #43962.

### Problem
- After `end()` during its handshake, a node:tls client accepts a
trusted certificate for another name: no error, and it reads the
server's data. Node and Bun 1.4.2 report `ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID`.
- `on_handshake` (`src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs`) passed its name
verdict to the handler as the success flag. After `end()`,
`onClientHandshake` (`src/js/node/net.ts:496`) reads a failure with no
error as the client's own close and skips `checkServerIdentity`.

### Fix
- `on_handshake` no longer runs the native name check for a node:tls
socket. The handler's flag is the handshake result.
- `Bun.connect` and `upgradeTLS` sockets do not change.
- Verified: `node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts`, 19 new tests. `main`
fails 18. Node v26.3.0 passes 49, skips 1.
- Self-reviewed: 10 concerns raised, 10 addressed. One is #44422
(`onClientHandshake` reads some failed handshakes as established).

### Background
- node:tls checks the name in JS (`checkServerIdentity`), on sockets
that `DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY` marks. The native check ran for them:
another name gave `(false, null)`, like a handshake that fails after
this side's FIN.
- Considered a `getAuthorizationError()` test in the guard, or a second
flag variable: both keep an unused native check.

### Downsides
- Needs a maintainer's yes: the internal `socket._handle.authorized` and
`getAuthorizationError()` of a node:tls client drop the name check (no
reader in `src/js` or `test`). The public values do not change.
- Still open (#43957): only the first such connection of a process
reports if its server keeps its side open.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**The regression** (`tls.connect({ socket })` on a connected socket,
then `end()`. Trusted chain, certificate for another name, server in the
same process, 3 runs each)

| Runtime | Output |
|---|---|
| Node v26.3.0 | `finish, error ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID, close` |
| Bun 1.4.2 (744846f) | `error ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID, close` |
| Bun 1.3.13 | `end, finish, error ECONNRESET, close` |
| canary 1.4.3-canary.1 (367d939, has #42181) | `finish, end, close`,
no error |
| this PR | `finish, error ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID, close` |

- #42181 (44e51b7) is on `main` and is not an ancestor of the tag
`bun-v1.4.2`. The client handler at that tag has no such guard.

**Merge order, and why**

- This PR first. Both later PRs let more handshakes complete after
`end()`, and on `main` each of those accepts a certificate for another
name.
- #43957 removes the engine defect that today keeps the second and later
connections of a process from completing such a handshake. Merged before
this PR, it turns one silently accepted connection into all of them.
Measured with five connections in one process (`tls.connect({ socket
})`, another name, server keeps its side open): on `main` 1 of 5
handshakes completes, and the client reports no error for it. On `main`
with the source change of #43957, 5 of 5 complete with no error.
- #43962 sends a client's FIN after its ClientHello. It contains this
PR's commits.
- With #43957 only the test file conflicts: both PRs insert a block.
Keep both.

**Where the native check came from**

- #31339 added the native name check for all clients.
- #32359 proposed to remove it and was closed for #33755. #33755 added
`DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY`: the check stayed enforced for `Bun.connect`,
and for node:tls it was computed but not enforced. It took node:tls
sockets out of `reject_unauthorized` and out of the error argument.
- #42181 then added the guard for "failed after our own FIN", which is
the same pair as "computed, another name".
- #43863 says "Each connection has one server name check", and lists
node:tls as "checked after the handshake, in JS".
- This PR is the node:tls half of #32359. It does not touch the check
for `Bun.connect`.
- #43865, #43924 and #43947 are the fixes of the chain check in the same
test file.

**What the client handler gets from the fd engine**
(`packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c`)

`on_handshake` calls the handler with `(socket, flag, error)`. For a
node:tls client:

| Case | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Handshake completed, chain and name good | `true, null` | `true, null`
|
| Handshake completed, chain good, another name | `false, null` | `true,
null` |
| Handshake completed, chain bad | `true, X509 error` | `true, X509
error` |
| Chain refused inside the handshake | `false, X509 error` | `false,
X509 error` |
| Handshake failed after this side's FIN | `false, null` | `false, null`
|
| Handshake failed with a TLS reason | `false, EPROTO` | `false, EPROTO`
|
| The peer closed before the handshake finished | `false, ECONNRESET` |
`false, ECONNRESET` |

- Row 2 and row 5 were the same pair. The guard that #42181 added for
row 5 also caught row 2 once the client had ended.
- With no `end()`, row 2 already reached `checkServerIdentity`, because
the guard tests `writableFinished`. So a client that does not end
behaves as before.
- `Bun.connect` and `upgradeTLS` sockets do not carry
`DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY`. Their flag is `authorized`, as documented.

**Rows that this PR does not change**

The engine for a Duplex, a named pipe and TLS inside TLS (`SSLWrapper`,
`src/uws/lib.rs`) reports no TLS reason. A failed handshake arrives as
`(false, null)` after a verified chain and as `(false, X509 code)`
otherwise. `onClientHandshake` reads both as an established session
unless the client rejects the code. Measured on this PR with a client
over a Duplex that does not call `end()`:

| The peer answers the ClientHello with | `rejectUnauthorized` | `main`,
Bun 1.4.2 and this PR | Node v26.3.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| a fatal `handshake_failure` alert | `true` | `error
UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT, close` | `error
ERR_SSL_SSL/TLS_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE, close` |
| a fatal `handshake_failure` alert | `false` | `secureConnect
authorized=false authError=UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT`, `end` | `error
ERR_SSL_SSL/TLS_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE, close` |
| bytes that are not TLS | `false` | `secureConnect authorized=false
authError=UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT`, `end` | `error
ERR_SSL_WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER, close` |
| a `close_notify` alert | either | no event | `end, error ECONNRESET,
close` |

- These rows are older than this PR: Bun 1.4.2 prints them too. The
native socket is marked unusable after a failed handshake
(`transport_unusable` in `on_handshake`).
- Owners: #32929 (the engine reports the fatal alert over a Duplex),
#44223 and #44021 (a refused renegotiation).
- #44422 makes a handshake that did not complete terminal in
`onClientHandshake`, as it is in the server handler. This PR is the step
before it: while `(false, null)` could be a completed handshake, that
arm could not go. It stays out of this PR so that this PR can land, or
be reverted, alone.

**What the native handle of a node:tls client reports** (trusted chain,
another name, `rejectUnauthorized: false`, measured)

| Value | `main` | This PR |
|---|---|---|
| `socket.authorized` | `false` | `false` |
| `socket.authorizationError` | `ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID` |
`ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID` |
| `socket._handle.authorized` | `false` | `true` |
| `socket._handle.getAuthorizationError()` |
`ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID` | `null` |

- The native check for these sockets had three effects on `main`: the
flag in row 2 above, and the two internal values.
- The in-handshake check (`server_identity`) already left node:tls
sockets out. Both sites now agree.
- `Flags::HOSTNAME_MISMATCH` has no reader on `main`. This PR does not
remove it.
- The hunk that stops the native check came from an optional finding of
an automated review. No person has reviewed it yet.

**Measured** (Linux x64, debug builds, Node v26.3.0, server in its own
Node process, 40 s watchdog)

`tls.connect({ socket })` on a connected socket, then `end()`. The chain
is trusted, the certificate is for another name, `rejectUnauthorized:
true`:

| Server | TLS | Node | `main` (d115f54) | This PR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keeps its side open | 1.3 | `finish, error
ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID, close` | `finish`, never exits | same as
Node |
| ordinary | 1.3 | `finish, error ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID, close` |
`finish, end, close`, no error | same as Node |
| keeps its side open | 1.2 | `finish`, never exits | `finish`, never
exits | same as Node |
| ordinary | 1.2 | `finish, end, error ECONNRESET, close` | same as Node
| same as Node |

- `end()` in the same tick and `end()` one `setImmediate` later give the
same lines.
- In the new tests the handshake completes after the client's `end()`
under TLS 1.2 and over a Duplex as well. There `main` delivers
`secret-banner` to a client with `rejectUnauthorized: true`.
- A client that passes its own `checkServerIdentity` is asked: one test
asserts the name that it gets, and `authorized=true` when it accepts.

**Still open, the engine**

- Each line of the table above is the first connection of its process.
Five such connections, one after the other in one process, against a
server that keeps its side open: with this PR the first reports and the
other four print `finish` only. `main` does the same when the name is
good. The flight that the first socket seals after its FIN takes the
event loop's one spill slot and never leaves it. #43957 is open for
that.
- `tls.connect(port)` followed at once by `end()` still sends its FIN
before its ClientHello, so no handshake runs there. #43962 changes that
order.
- #43957 is open for the spill slot. Measured with its source change on
this PR: all five connections report, for another name and for a good
name.
- A handshake that fails after `end()` with no certificate still reports
nothing. The tests of #42181 and #43947 for that case pass.

**Tests**

- 19 new tests against `main`: the name check after `end()` over a
Duplex, over TCP behind a record proxy (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and on a
connected `net.Socket` (3 each), `end()` and `end("")` in the turn of
`tls.connect()` over a socket that is still connecting and over a Duplex
(6), and a resumed session (1, Bun only).
- 7 of them are the commit of another branch
(`robobun/baba0385/tls-early-end-hostname-check`), taken as it is. The
resumed-session test now asserts `isSessionReused()`.
- `main` (4b02e10) fails 18 of the 19. The one that passes is
`end("")` over a Duplex.

**Suites** (this machine ran at a load average of 200 to 800)

- On this head: `node-tls-duplex-end-verify` (50 of 50),
`node-tls-connect` (121), `tls-reject-before-client-cert` (121),
`node-https-agent-checkserveridentity-reuse` (30), `renegotiation` (21),
`node-tls-wrapped-socket-close` (15),
`node-tls-connect-hostname-verification` (11), `node-tls-upgrade` (5),
`node-tls-raw-end` (4), `node-https-checkServerIdentity` (4).
- On the head before the rebase: 14 vendored Node tests that use
`checkServerIdentity` or the name error, `fetch.tls` (61).
`socket.test.ts`, `node-tls-cert` and `node-tls-server` had only
failures that `main` has on this machine too (timeouts of child
processes, and one test that needs `www.example.com`).
- Not run on this machine: macOS, Windows.

Add a close rejection to the second client.

If the TLS 1.3 client closes before secureConnect, second.secureConnect remains pending. The test runner can then wait until its timeout instead of reporting the handshake failure. Reject on close, and suppress the expected rejection from the intentionally unfinished first client during cleanup.

Suggested fix
-    const secureConnect = new Promise(resolve => client.on("secureConnect", resolve));
+    const secureConnect = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
+      client.on("secureConnect", resolve);
+      client.on("close", () => reject(new Error(`${maxVersion} closed with no secureConnect`)));
+    });
     const first = connectAndEnd("TLSv1.2");
+    first.secureConnect.catch(() => {});
     await forwarded[0].promise;
