node:http2: store the code of close(code) before its listeners run

[robobun]

Problem

• pipeline(stream, sink) then stream.close(7) sends RST_STREAM(INTERNAL_ERROR), while stream.rstCode reads 7. 1.4.2 sends 7: a regression in 1.4.3 (node:http2: fix ClientHttp2Stream.close(code) event sequence #33607).
• close() (src/js/node/http2.ts:2556) emits 'aborted' before it stores the code. pipeline() destroys the stream there, so _destroy (:2607) queues its own code first. Other readers do so since v1.2.16.

Fix

• close() stores the code before its listeners run, as node does, and again after them. _destroy keeps that code, NGHTTP2_NO_ERROR included.
• A listener that throws does not stop the close, as in node main. Two such errors are thrown as one AggregateError. A nested close() keeps the first code.
• Correct because the frame and rstCode agree. The JS state is node v26.3.0's, the frame node main's (http2: submit RST_STREAM before emitting 'aborted' nodejs/node#66314).
• Verified: 100 new tests in test/js/node/http2/ (83 fail on main), 280 vendored node tests. Self-reviewed: 28 concerns raised, 21 addressed, 7 in Notes.

Background

• 'aborted' fires when a stream closes while its writable side is open. pipeline() destroys the stream inside it.
• close() and _destroy each queue an RST_STREAM frame with rstCode. The native parser writes the first.
• Considered a private slot for the code, or resets that read it when written. Neither gives node's rstCode inside 'aborted'.

Downsides

• A destroy() with no error inside 'aborted' emits ERR_HTTP2_STREAM_ERROR for an error code, as in node. With no 'error' listener it throws.
• close(0) then destroy(err) resets with NO_ERROR, as in node. A peer reads a cut body as a clean end.
• Per close(): two property reads, two stores, two try blocks. http2.js grows by 1,180 bytes.

Notes

Origin and reach. Found by fuzzing, no user report. One row is a regression in a release: pipeline(stream, sink) with close(7) or close(11), on both sides. 1.4.2 sends the given code there. 1.4.3 (2026-10-10) and main send 2, since #33607. The other rows have sent another code since #20051 (bun-v1.2.16): the echo form pipeline(stream, new PassThrough(), stream, cb) sends 2 for every code, and stream.on('aborted', () => stream.destroy()) sends 0. The reproduction script in the status comment shows another code on 9 of 12 lines on main and on 1.4.3, on 7 on 1.4.2, and on 0 here. Node had the same report (nodejs/node#66306, labelled confirmed-bug).

The chain. close(7) emits 'aborted'. End-of-stream reports ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE and pipeline() calls stream.destroy(err) inside the emit. _destroy reads rstCode === undefined, picks INTERNAL_ERROR for an error (NO_ERROR for none) and queues rstNextTick(id, 2). close() then sets rstCode = 7 and queues rstNextTick(id, 7), which the native side drops because the stream is already reset.

What node does. closeStream in v26.3.0 (lib/internal/http2/core.js#L2012-L2013) sets the closed flag and rstCode, then emits 'aborted', then submits the reset. _destroy calls closeStream only if (!this.closed). In v26.3.0 and v26.11.1 a destroy inside 'aborted' clears the handle before the submit, so no RST_STREAM is written: the reproduction script waits for the frame without end there. nodejs/node#66314 (merged 2026-09-29) submits the reset before the emit, and the nightly of 2026-10-08 prints the given code on 12 of 12 lines. So this PR has two references: the JS state (rstCode inside 'aborted' and at 'close', the 'error' event) is that of v26.3.0, and the frame is that of node main. The shared tests run under node --test on v26.3.0. The frame tests cannot: v26.3.0 writes no frame in those rows.

Why the code is stored twice. The early store gives node's JS state and lets _destroy keep the code. The late store is the line main already has. It makes close() the last writer again when a listener runs another closer that writes rstCode itself: session.destroy() on a pending request, the AbortSignal of the request, a server session teardown. Without it 'close' showed 8, 2 or 11 there, where main and node show the given code. While close() runs, the early code is not treated as a reset that happened (isInsideClose): the two streamEnd handlers still wait for 'end', and a client still gets a response that is parsed inside close() on an in-process transport.

A listener that throws. On main the exception leaves close() with nothing stored, and a second close() closes the stream. In node v26.3.0 the stream reports closed === true with the first code and is never ended or reset. On node main (nightly 2026-10-08) the reset is already submitted, so the stream closes with the first code and the second close() does nothing. This PR does what node main does: the writable ends, the reset goes out, 'close' fires, and the error is thrown again after that. The same holds for a 'readable' listener that throws when close(0) or close(8) ends the readable: 'aborted' still runs after it. The shared test asserts only the state right after the throw, which v26.3.0 has too.

Two listeners that throw. A 'readable' listener and an 'aborted' listener can both throw inside one close(). close() then throws one AggregateError, built with aggregateTwoErrors as the stream internals do: it has the message and code of the first error, and errors holds the two in order. One error is thrown as it is. Node has no such case, because its close() does not end the readable. Not covered: a 'prefinish' listener that throws. close() runs one when the _final callback is parked, for example on a server push stream that closes before respond(). That exception leaves close() at once and the stream stays open, on main too (node: an 'error' on the stream, then 'close'). An error that close() holds at that moment is not reported. The cause is in markWritableDone, which all the closers share, so it is not changed here.

Compared with main, row by row. Each script runs the same rows on one debug build, once with main's http2.ts and once with this branch's, on a new connection per row through a TCP relay that logs the frames.

• 960 rows (2 sides, codes 0, 2, 7 and 8, 6 stream states, 20 listener modes): 800 are identical in the events of both streams and the frames. 116 differ because a listener destroys the stream or calls close(3) inside close(code), or destroy(err) follows close(0): the change is the given code on the wire and at 'close', and ERR_HTTP2_STREAM_ERROR for an error code where the destroy had no error. 40 differ because a listener throws and the caller does not call close() again: main leaves the stream open, this branch closes it. 4 are a server close(0) then session.destroy(err): 'close' shows 0 (main: 2, node: 0).
• 1256 rows of a wider matrix from the review (13 stream states, 43 listener modes, codes 0 and 7, two samples per build): 1028 are stable and identical. 203 are stable and differ, each in one of the classes above. 25 are not stable in either build, all with a respondWithFile body in flight.
• Both endpoints in one process on duplexPair(): 28 rows identical to main, except that rstCode reads the given code inside the listeners.
• The last commit changes only what close() throws for two errors. Its 960 rows are identical to the rows of the commit before it.

reader, server side	close(0)	close(8)	close(7)
pipeline(stream, sink), main	0	8	2
echo pipeline, main	2	2	2
on('aborted', () => stream.destroy(err)), main	2	2	2
on('aborted', () => stream.destroy()), main	0	0	0
on('aborted', () => stream.close(3)), main	0	3	3
each of them, this branch	0	8	7

NO_ERROR with a body still queued. Bun's close(0) on an open writable sends its reset at 'finish'. Node sends it at once. So write(1 MiB); close(0); destroy(err) on main sent RST_STREAM(2) for the dropped body, and now sends RST_STREAM(0), which is the frame node's close(0) has already sent. A peer whose window held back the body reads 'end' with a part of it (on node main the peer gets ERR_HTTP2_STREAM_ABORTED). Three tests hold this rule, so it can be changed on purpose.

Cost. Per close(): one read of the status word, one read of the session link, two stores, two try blocks. Per _destroy: one read of the status word. Per streamEnd and per client HEADERS: nothing new unless the stream has a reset code. No allocation, queue entry or host call is added. A reader that destroys inside close() makes one rstStream host call where main makes two, so close(NGHTTP2_REFUSED_STREAM) there counts once against maxSessionRejectedStreams. The production bundle of http2.js grows from 168,939 to 170,119 bytes (1,180). The module adds one require("internal/errors"), a module that node:stream loads in any case. Instruction counts are not measured: valgrind and perf are not installed on the machine that ran this.

Node's own test for nodejs/node#66314 (test/parallel/test-http2-close-aborted-destroy.js). On main it fails with 0 !== 8. On this branch that assertion passes and the file fails on ERR_HTTP2_STREAM_ABORTED, which needs the close model of nodejs/node#63249. Node v26.3.0 hangs on the file and the nightly passes it, so it is not vendored here.

Not in this PR.

• Inside 'aborted', stream.closed is still false (node: true). A close(code, cb) from that listener keeps its callback for that reason.
• _destroy's own 'aborted' has the mirror order: destroy(err) with a listener that calls close(7) still sends 7 (node: 2). node:http2: free a request's slot when its stream closes on the wire, abort request({ signal }) from JS only #42763 changes _destroy. The two merge with this rule: _destroy keeps a code that close() stored, a stored 0 included, and not ||=.
• A complete request still gets no RST_STREAM from close(7): bun writes an empty DATA frame with END_STREAM. A server stream that closes before respond() writes that frame with no HEADERS, and nghttp2 ends the session. node:http2: send RST_STREAM when a server stream is reset #33380 and node:http2: never send or accept DATA before the response HEADERS #43558 are open for these.
• req.close(7); ac.abort() and an abort inside 'aborted' still send CANCEL: the native AbortSignal listener writes its own reset. 'close' shows 7. node:http2: free a request's slot when its stream closes on the wire, abort request({ signal }) from JS only #42763 removes that listener.
• A client close(0) then session.destroy(err) still shows the session's code at 'close' (node: 0). A peer's RST_STREAM and the GOAWAY sweep also still replace a stored code. After 'close', emitStreamErrorNT still writes the session's code to rstCode of a stream that has an 'error' listener: a server close(0) then session.destroy(err) shows 0 at 'close' and 2 one turn later (main: 2 at both, node: 0 at both). That deferred write is not changed here, because code such as grpc-js reads rstCode one tick after 'close'.
• close(0) on an open writable still waits for 'finish' before its reset (node: at once).
• A client still writes the RST_STREAM frame twice in some rows. node:http2: do not reset a stream the native layer already closed #43539 is open for it.
• close() on a pushed stream of a client writes no frame and never closes it (node: RST_STREAM(0)), on 1.4.2 too. That is why _destroy does not keep a stored 0 for a pushed stream.
• rstCode stays a writable own property with many writers. One setter for it is a later step.

Order against the other open PRs. This PR is JS only and is the smallest of the close() and _destroy PRs. It touches lines that #33380, #42763, #43539, #43433 and #43754 also change, so the one that lands second needs a rebase. A maintainer decides the order. A larger version (one recordClose() writer of the closed flag and code for every closer, and the code recorded on the native stream) is parked on a branch. It needs that decision first.

Self-review. 28 concerns. 21 are addressed in the code, the tests or this text. The other 7 ask for more scope, and are not done for these reasons:

• Record the code in _destroy before its own 'aborted' too. A plain hoist loses the reset in rows that main gets right. The form that holds belongs with node:http2: free a request's slot when its stream closes on the wire, abort request({ signal }) from JS only #42763.
• A guard at every other rstCode writer. The late store covers the writers that run inside close(). The others change rows that this bug does not touch.
• A generated table of every row as a test in the repo. The table here covers 2 stream states, 10 listeners, 3 codes and 2 sides in the shared file, and the wire file adds the states with a response, a pending write and an ended writable. The 960-row script is in a comment on this PR.
• Land this with node:http2: send RST_STREAM when a server stream is reset #33380, or after a port of node main's close model. That is the order question above.
• Tracking issues for the exclusions. They are listed here.

Tests. 67 tests in node-http2-client-close.test.ts use node:test and re-run themselves under node v26.3.0 (all pass there, and on the nightly). 33 tests in h2-conformance.test.ts read raw frames and run on bun only. With main's http2.ts, 83 of the 100 fail. The other 17 hold rows that must stay as they are: a consumer attached in the tick of close(code), another closer inside 'aborted', the reset of close(0) ahead of a queued request, the response inside close() on an in-process transport, the reset of a pushed stream. Each new source line was removed or inverted once: 18 such changes, then 8 more on the try blocks as they are now, and each one fails at least one of the new tests. A 'readable' reader that destroys is only in the wire tests: node v26.3.0 throws an internal TypeError for it after the test ends.

Suites run (debug ASAN build, linux-x64). The two changed test files. test/js/node/http2/: 716 pass, 6 skip, 4 todo on the last commit. Earlier runs had up to 14 timeouts at the 5 s default on this build: subprocess tests, which pass with a longer timeout, and flood tests. The same kinds of test time out with main's http2.ts, and the exact set changes from run to run. All 280 test/js/node/test/{parallel,sequential}/test-http2-*.js, test-diagnostics-channel-http2-*.js and test-stream-pipeline-http2.js. tsc --noEmit -p src/js/tsconfig.json, bun lint, and the type check of test/.

Status

Reproduction. A node:http2 server attaches a reader to an upload and refuses it with stream.close(code). A raw TCP client prints the code of the RST_STREAM frame that arrives.

reader	main and 1.4.3	this PR
pipeline(stream, sink, cb)	close(7) and close(11) arrive as INTERNAL_ERROR (2). 1.4.2 sends the given code.	the given code
pipeline(stream, new PassThrough(), stream, cb)	every code arrives as 2	the given code
stream.on('aborted', () => stream.destroy())	close(7), close(8) and close(11) arrive as 0	the given code

The script exits 1 on main and on 1.4.3 (9 of 12 lines show another code) and on 1.4.2 (7 of 12). It exits 0 on this branch. The tests in test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts (block close(code) reset code) run the same cases with raw frames, on the server side and on the client side.

Walkthrough

Http2Stream.close() now records its reset code before emitting events or ending the writable side. Destruction preserves an explicitly recorded NGHTTP2_NO_ERROR. Native close handlers account for buffered readable data and response headers during close processing. New tests cover reset-code behavior and event ordering on client and server streams.

Changes

HTTP/2 Stream Close

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Record and preserve close reset codes src/js/node/http2.ts	close() records the reset code before user-visible actions and prevents reentrant closes from replacing it. _destroy() preserves an explicitly recorded NGHTTP2_NO_ERROR.
Process readable data during close src/js/node/http2.ts	Client and server native-close handlers wait for readable data to end when close() is in progress. Client response headers are also processed during that interval.
Test close events and teardown test/js/node/http2/node-http2-client-close.test.ts	Tests check reset-code observations across events, reentrant destruction, errors, listener exceptions, diagnostics publication, and session teardown.
Test reset codes on client and server streams test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts	Conformance tests check wire reset codes and rstCode across reader and write states, queued requests, pushed streams, in-process transport, and socket closure.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f4207

Most of the close-code fix appears sound. In one narrow case, a stream's reported reset code can still be overwritten when the session is torn down with an error. A test also needs its explicit timeout removed. Both are small follow-ups.

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

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟡 src/js/node/http2.ts — Servers that refuse streams with close(NGHTTP2_REFUSED_STREAM) while stream.pipeline() reads them now get GOAWAY(ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM) after half the configured budget. close() queues rstNextTick(id, 7) at http2.ts:2600 and the pipeline-triggered _destroy now keeps 7 and queues a second rstNextTick(id, 7) at http2.ts:2694; the native rst_stream counts every REFUSED_STREAM call, so each such stream costs 2 of maxSessionRejectedStreams (default 100). Fix: send one reset per stream — skip the _destroy reset when closeRecorded already queued one for a non-pending stream — while keeping the reset for streams destroyed without close(). On the base branch the second reset carried INTERNAL_ERROR, which is not counted, so this population got 100.

  Why this was flagged

  A server handler does pipeline(stream, sink, cb) then stream.close(NGHTTP2_REFUSED_STREAM), on a session where it will refuse more than 50 streams. close() at src/js/node/http2.ts:2600 schedules rstNextTick(id, 7); 'aborted' makes pipeline call destroy(err); _destroy now sees closeRecorded and rstCode 7 at src/js/node/http2.ts:2641 and schedules a second rstNextTick(id, 7) at src/js/node/http2.ts:2694. In src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs:5050-5060 rst_stream increments rejected_streams for every REFUSED_STREAM call before looking the stream up, and sends GOAWAY(ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM) once max_rejected_streams (default 100 at h2_frame_parser.rs:7467) is reached. So the session is torn down after 50 refused streams, killing all its other in-flight streams. On the base branch _destroy's second reset carried INTERNAL_ERROR, which rst_stream does not count, so the same server got 100 refusals; the double queueing is introduced by this change for this reader population.

  Verification: close(7) now sets rstCode and CloseRecorded at http2.ts:2578-2579 before emit("aborted") at 2590. pipeline calls destroy(err) from that emit; _destroy keeps rstCode 7 and queues rstNextTick at 2694, and close() queues a second at 2600. Native rst_stream increments rejected_streams on every REFUSED_STREAM call (h2_frame_parser.rs:5050-5052), so each stream consumes 2 units and the session is torn down after 50 refusals.

[robobun]

Pushed f42079d8f3d (rebased on main). It answers the review and two reports from fuzzing. The Notes in the PR body have the details.

One fact changed since the PR was opened: Bun 1.4.3 (2026-10-10) has the regression row. pipeline(stream, sink) then close(7) sends RST_STREAM(2) on 1.4.3 and RST_STREAM(7) on 1.4.2.

Review findings

• 'end' lost for a consumer attached in the tick of close(code). Fixed. While close() runs, the code it stored early is not treated as a reset that happened, so the streamEnd handlers wait for 'end' as on main. On both sides, for codes 2 and 7, the events are aborted, data, end, error, close, the same as main and node v26.3.0. Test: close(code) in the tick a consumer attaches.
• REFUSED_STREAM counted twice under a reader that destroys. Fixed. _destroy queues the reset, and close() queues no second one. Test: makes one rstStream call for each stream. It counts the host calls, so it does not depend on the budget that node:http2: count a refused stream where the session refuses it, not in rstStream #44248 changes. A close(7) with no such reader still makes two calls, on main too.
• close(0) then session.destroy(err) reports the session's code. A server stream now keeps 0, inside 'aborted' (main: 0, the first commit: 2) and after close() returned (main: 2, node: 0). A client stream still reports the session's code. That path is not changed here.

Reports from fuzzing

• The lost 'end': see above.
• A second close() after an 'aborted' listener threw did nothing, and the stream stayed open. The first close() is now complete in spite of the throw: the writable ends, the reset goes out, 'close' fires, and the error is thrown again after that. A second close() is not necessary and does nothing. Node main does the same since http2: submit RST_STREAM before emitting 'aborted' nodejs/node#66314. Node v26.3.0 and v26.11.1 leave the stream open for good.

Found by a self-review before this push

• close(0) under a listener that destroys wrote its reset after the HEADERS of a request that waited for a stream slot. A peer with maxConcurrentStreams: 1 then refused that request. The reset at 'finish' is kept.
• Another closer inside 'aborted' (a session destroy on a pending request, the AbortSignal of the request) replaced the code at 'close'. close() keeps main's late store of the code next to the early one.
• A close() from inside 'aborted' skipped its argument checks and dropped its callback. It validates and keeps the callback again. Only its code is ignored.
• On an in-process transport, a client lost 'response' when the peer answered inside close().
• A pushed stream of a client got no RST_STREAM for close(0) then destroy(err).

Two questions for a maintainer

1. @cirospaciari on node:http2: fix ClientHttp2Stream.close(code) event sequence #33607 the condition was that the tests pass on Bun and on Node v26.3.0. The 67 tests in node-http2-client-close.test.ts do. The 33 frame tests in h2-conformance.test.ts cannot run there: they assert the frame of node main (http2: submit RST_STREAM before emitting 'aborted' nodejs/node#66314), and v26.3.0 writes no RST_STREAM when the stream is destroyed inside 'aborted'. Is node main the right reference for the frame?
2. This PR changes lines that node:http2: send RST_STREAM when a server stream is reset #33380, node:http2: free a request's slot when its stream closes on the wire, abort request({ signal }) from JS only #42763, node:http2: do not reset a stream the native layer already closed #43539, node:http2: destroy a closed stream with unread data when its session is torn down #43433 and node:http2: keep the data that arrived before a peer's RST_STREAM(NO_ERROR) #43754 also change. It is the smallest of them. Which order do you want?

Pushed bebca5fd06 (rebased on main). Answers to the second round of review:

• 'aborted' not emitted when a 'readable' listener throws inside close(0) or close(8) (review). Fixed. The two steps of close() that run listeners (push(null), then 'aborted' and end()) each have their own try block now, so 'aborted' still runs after a 'readable' listener threw. The first error is thrown again when the close is complete. The test close(0) when a 'readable' listener throws now listens for 'aborted'.
• test.todo entries without the observed behaviour (review). Each has a comment that says what happens today.
• Comment in _destroy (review). Reworded. The early read of the status bit only keeps a close(0) from that listener from counting as a stored code. A close(3) from inside _destroy's own 'aborted' still sets the code, as on main. That mirror order is in the "Not in this PR" list (node:http2: free a request's slot when its stream closes on the wire, abort request({ signal }) from JS only #42763 changes _destroy).
• Pushed stream: 'close' shows 0 while the frame is RST_STREAM(2) (review, not new). Left as on main. The late store that writes 0 back is what keeps the code when another closer runs inside 'aborted' (a session destroy on a pending request), so it cannot be skipped for a destroyed stream. To keep 0 for the frame would write no frame at all, because rstStream(id, 0) does nothing for the id of a pushed stream. The cause is on the native side.
• Guard the two writes in emitStreamErrorNT() (CodeRabbit). Not changed here. Measured on a server stream: close(0) then session.destroy(err) shows 0 at 'close' and 2 one turn later (main: 2 and 2, node: 0 and 0). close(7) then session.destroy() shows 7 and then 0, on main too, so the write after 'close' is older than this PR. The same function is the path of a client session teardown and of a peer's reset, where a guard changes the code at 'close'. grpc-js reads rstCode one tick after 'close' (subchannel-call.js), so that change needs its own tests. It is in the "Not in this PR" list.
• Timeout of 30 s on the test that spawns a process (CodeRabbit). Kept. The five other tests in this file that spawn a process pass the same value. This fixture needs about 5 s on a debug ASAN build, which is the default limit.

[robobun]

@coderabbitai No follow-up issue, please. The write in emitStreamErrorNT() after 'close' is in the "Not in this PR" list of the description, with the measured rows. This repository keeps GitHub issues for problems that a user reported.

Timestamp: 2026-10-14T13:52:51.089Z
Learning: In oven-sh/bun, src/js/node/http2.ts emitStreamErrorNT() handles client session teardown and peer resets as well as server stream errors. Guards that preserve a CloseRecorded reset code can change the rstCode observed at 'close' on these paths. grpc-js reads rstCode one tick after 'close' in subchannel-call.js, so changes to reset-code preservation need compatibility tests at both 'close' and the following tick.

The review of bebca5f had one optional finding: a second listener error thrown inside close(code) was dropped. 9e54569 changes that.

What changed

• close() throws the two errors as one AggregateError. It is built with aggregateTwoErrors from internal/errors, which the stream internals use for the same case. It has the message and code of the first error, and errors holds the two in order.
• One error is still thrown as it is, the same object.
• Each try block now holds only the call that runs listeners: push(null) or emit('aborted'). The lines around them are the lines of main again, so the diff of close() is smaller.

What close(0) does on a server stream that was read

listener that throws	main	bebca5f	9e54569
'readable'	throws it, stream stays open	throws it, stream closes	throws it, stream closes
'aborted'	throws it, stream stays open	throws it, stream closes	throws it, stream closes
both	throws the 'readable' error, stream stays open	throws the 'readable' error only, stream closes	throws AggregateError with both, stream closes

Checks

• New test: close(0) when listeners of 'readable' and 'aborted' throw: the close is complete, and it throws each error in h2-conformance.test.ts. It replaces the test for the 'readable' case and holds the three rows above. It fails on bebca5f.
• Eight changes to the new lines (keep the first error only, keep the last only, swap the order, remove a try, drop a threw = true, drop the rethrow): each one fails at least one test.
• The 960 rows of the script in the comment above are identical to those of bebca5f.
• test/js/node/http2/: 716 pass, 6 skip, 4 todo. The 280 vendored node http2 tests pass.
• http2.js is 92 bytes larger than at bebca5f (1,180 bytes over main).

Not covered

A 'prefinish' listener that throws. close() runs one when the _final callback is parked, for example on a server push stream that closes before respond(). That exception leaves close() at once and the stream stays open, on main too (node v26.3.0 reports it as an 'error' on the stream and then closes). An error that close() holds from 'readable' or 'aborted' at that moment is not reported. The cause is the unguarded callback in markWritableDone, which every closer shares, so this PR does not change it. The description lists it in Notes.

The review of 9e54569 has one finding, marked pre-existing and not blocking: close(0) or close(8) on an in-process transport, when the DATA of the peer arrives inside close().

I ran that row. Both sessions are on duplexPair(), and the server answers with a body when it reads END_STREAM. The output is the same with main's http2.ts and with this branch, on one debug build:

close(0): aborted | response:200 | error:ERR_STREAM_PUSH_AFTER_EOF | finish | close:0
close(8): aborted | response:200 | error:ERR_STREAM_PUSH_AFTER_EOF | finish | close:8

node v26.3.0:

close(0): aborted | finish | response:200 | end | close:0
close(8): aborted | finish | end | close:8

• The ERR_STREAM_PUSH_AFTER_EOF error is real, and node does not have it. The cause is as the review says: close() ends the readable first, and pushToStream() drops DATA only after the Closed bit is set.
• Two details differ from the review in my run. The stream still reaches 'finish' and 'close' when it has an 'error' listener. Main also delivers 'response' in this row, because main has not stored rstCode at that point.
• This PR does not change the row, so there is no push for it. The fix is a separate change in pushToStream(), with rows for codes 0 and 8 in the in-process test.
