Problem

• stream.destroy() before the first write can keep the stream's place for good. The peer never sees the stream, so it never returns its MAX_STREAMS credit. A cancel-then-request loop stalls at request 12 of 13.
• abort_for_destroy (src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs) parks the frames. A write on any other stream then makes flush_deferred_aborts call lsquic_stream_shutdown_internal, which sends nothing.

Fix

• Native destroy() decides the frames once and sends them in the call, as Node does. Inside a dispatch they go out when that dispatch returns. A client's opening flight still hides a stream that a later write follows (test-quic-callback-error-stream-onerror.mjs needs that).
• A client holds the frames until its handshake is reported. Before that, lsquic seals a packet of only these frames with keys the server cannot read.
• Held frames name the stream by its lsquic id: the peer can end the stream first, and lsquic frees a stream on the tick that finishes it. patches/lsquic/stream-by-id.patch fills in that lookup for IETF connections.
• Verified: test/js/node/quic/quic-stream.test.ts (66 new tests, 49 of its 78 fail on release main). Also the vendored test-quic-* files and serve-http3.test.ts. Self-reviewed: 97 concerns raised, 89 addressed.

Background

• A local stream takes one unit of the peer's stream credit, its place. The peer returns it after the stream ends.
• A dispatch is a native callback that runs JS. Frames written there leave when it exits.
• Considered a re-arm of the flush after a drain pass: a later write still drops the frames.

Downsides

• The peer now always sees an abandoned stream, and a read of it rejects. A Bun.serve HTTP/3 peer then spins at 90% CPU (Bun.serve (HTTP/3): 100% CPU after a client abandons a request stream before its HEADERS #44714).
• A clean destroy() always sends RESET_STREAM(0) + STOP_SENDING. Node sends nothing.
• 32 destroys from a timer send 24 packets (Node 35, main 0). Release .text +688 bytes, and 16 bytes per stream.

Notes

Scope

The report behind this PR has two halves. This PR is the half in which the stream has its place: lsquic opened it, and destroy() comes before its first write. The other half is a stream that is destroyed while it waits for credit. That one is #45342.

Two sites still retire a stream with no frame, and this PR does not change them: the on_new_stream orphan (stream.rs, #45342) and cancel_early_rejected (streams of a rejected 0-RTT phase).

patches/lsquic/stream-by-id.patch adds no behaviour of its own. conn_iface already declares ci_get_stream_by_id, and only the gQUIC connection fills it in. The patch fills it in for the IETF connection with the find_stream_by_id the file already has, and exports lsquic_conn_get_stream_by_id().

All runs are linux-x64, loopback, the same runtime on both ends. The Node column is Node v26.3.0 built from source.

Behaviour changes against main

Each one needs a maintainer's word. The place to undo it is in parentheses.

1. Outside a client's opening flight, a stream that is destroyed before its first write always reaches the peer as RESET_STREAM / STOP_SENDING. Main drops the frames when any stream writes before its next flush. This is the fix.
2. In a client's opening flight (the opened continuation) the frames are dropped only when a stream that wrote after the destroy is open when that callback returns. Main also drops them for a write on a stream that waits for a place, for a writer that was destroyed since, and for a write in a later turn (silence_opening_flight_aborts).
3. A client holds the frames of destroy() for a stream that has sent nothing until its handshake is reported. Until TLS is done, lsquic sends a packet that has only these frames with a Handshake header, and the server cannot read it. Main parks the same streams, and when it sends them depends on the next pass (awaits_handshake). A stream the peer ends while its frames wait is dropped.
4. destroy() after a write and an end inside a dispatch delivers the data. Main sends an empty stream there, and delivers the data outside a dispatch. When lsquic cannot take all of it in the call, the stream is reset with code 0, as on main (finish_on_wire).
5. destroy() then close() in one dispatch: the peer no longer gets the stream's frames with the close. Its stream count goes from 1 to 0 (settle_deferred_aborts(true) in apply_close).
6. With a live writer, the writer's RESET_STREAM and the STOP_SENDING of destroy() go out together, in the call. Main sends the reset at once and can drop the STOP_SENDING. The same holds when the stream's onerror calls stopSending() during the destroy: main sends that STOP_SENDING at once and can drop the reset, which leaves the stream open at the peer.
7. The frames reach lsquic in the native destroy(), after onerror ran. Main hands them over before onerror.

This replaces a rule from #32602

#32602 says under "Behavioral fidelity" that a stream created and destroyed in one turn "only manifests its RESET/STOP_SENDING to the peer if the connection goes quiet", and that "the frames are dropped if other stream data is written first". Node v26.3.0 hides such a stream in one place only: a client's opening flight. Everywhere else destroy(err) calls stopSending / resetStream in the call (lib/internal/quic/quic.js).

Over 70 raw-QUIC shapes that have a Node result, main equals Node in 31 and this PR in 35. 10 shapes moved to Node's result. 6 moved away: all are a clean destroy() or a destroy(err) from a timer, where Node loses the place. 13 more changed and still differ from Node: 10 for the two frame differences below, 1 because a bun server returns credit in batches, 1 for the server-opened credit bug, 1 because committed data is delivered.

A bun server (lsquic) returns MAX_STREAMS credit in batches: only when the closed streams plus half the limit reach the current limit. Node returns one unit for each closed stream. So "places left" against a bun server is not a leak count.

Differences from Node v26.3.0 that need a maintainer's decision

1. A clean destroy() sends RESET_STREAM(0) + STOP_SENDING (lsquic sends the STOP_SENDING code 0 as 0x100). Node sends nothing and the place is lost (quic.md). Main's destroy() already asks for these frames. With this PR they always arrive. A peer with no onstream prints one warning for each such stream (3 streams: Node 0 warnings, this PR 3). Upstream discussion: quic: add stream.cancel() sending H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED nodejs/node#66007, quic: emit RFC 9114 stream-closure error codes (H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED, H3_REQUEST_INCOMPLETE) nodejs/node#65509.
2. From a timer, destroy(err) on a bidirectional stream sends both frames. Node v26.3.0 sends only STOP_SENDING and the place is lost. quic: fix stop sending behaviour & callback nodejs/node#64710 changed Node's STOP_SENDING handling after v26.3.0. I did not run a newer Node.
3. In a client's opening flight Node hides the stream when any stream data goes into that flight, also for a write before the destroy. This PR keeps main's rule there, without the three cases of item 2 above.
4. Data that was written and ended before destroy() is delivered. Node leaves such a stream open at the peer.
5. destroy() then close(): equal to Node when no other stream is open. With another open stream Node's close waits for it and the frames go out. A raw-QUIC close in bun does not wait for an idle stream (main's rule, unchanged), so the stream stays hidden.

Measurements

Release builds of the merge base (9b4284f) and of this change, main -> this PR. The per-pass instruction counts and the syscall counts are from the earlier round, on 91e7e3b, and this round changed neither path.

• .text 81,904,485 -> 81,905,173 bytes (+688). The binary has the same size on both (107,497,184 bytes). QuicEndpoint::process 21,842 -> 21,573 bytes.
• QuicStreamPrototype__write 230 -> 231 instructions, endWrite 57 -> 58, destroy 200 -> 255, abortForDestroy 248 -> 166, resetStream 95 -> 107, stopSending 94 -> 108 (objdump over each symbol).
• QuicStream 216 -> 232 bytes: the two destroy codes. The three flags and the park index fit in the padding that was there (#[repr(C)], DWARF member offsets). QuicEndpoint 1096, QuicSession 1120 and DeferredAbort 48 bytes are unchanged.
• Packets the client sends for 1 / 8 / 32 unwritten destroy(err) calls in one timer turn (endpoint.stats.packetsSent, 500 ms): this PR 2 / 11 / 24, main 0 (it sends none of them in that time). Node v26.3.0 sent 2 / 9 / 35 in the earlier round. Inside a dispatch: 2 to 4 packets for any count.
• process() per pass, nothing parked: main runs 2 instructions in a drain pass, and 112 (1 session) or 395 (8 sessions) with one malloc and one free in every other pass. This PR runs 6 instructions for each session in every pass, with no heap call (gdb stepi over the blocks).
• Send syscalls of the client for 1 / 8 / 32 such calls (gdb catch syscall, halved, whole process, strace is not installed): main 4 / 4 to 5 / 5, this PR 5 / 14 / 44 to 78, an idle client 3.
• lsquic "suspected infinite loop" breaks (1000 callbacks with no progress): 0 -> 0 for 32 unwritten destroys. For 32 written streams: main 2247 to 5250, this PR 0. A resumed client that writes through a body source and destroys the stream before opened ran 564 of them in 400 ms before the held stream stopped asking for write events; it runs 0 now.
• Passes between park and decision inside a dispatch: 1 -> 0. Engine drives for one destroy() outside a dispatch: 3 -> 1 (gdb dprintf).

Tests

66 new tests in one describe block. 49 of the file's 78 fail on a release build of main. The ones that pass on main are guards for behaviour that earlier builds of this change broke: the opening-flight cases in which main already sends, the cases in which the stream stays hidden (also two destroys, in both orders), resetStream() or a read of stream.writer before destroy() on a unidirectional stream, a destroy from a later callback of the handshake pass, a resumed session whose peer ends a held stream first, and four close cases.

The server in these tests does not answer a stream whose read failed, so a bidirectional stream ends there only when STOP_SENDING arrived too.

The file passes 10 of 10 runs on a release build and 5 of 5 on a debug build (the earlier round: 30 and 10). The four vendored tests that pin these frames pass: test-quic-callback-error-stream-onerror, test-quic-stream-destroy-emits-reset, test-quic-stream-destroy-emits-stop-sending, test-quic-stream-destroy-options-code. The 2 vendored files that fail as plain scripts (test-quic-h3-stream-idle-timeout, test-quic-stream-idle-timeout) pass on both builds with their // Flags: line, as the CI runner passes it.

Self-review

Two review rounds, a check of the final diff, and a fourth round after the merge with main. The first reviewed a build that parked on the endpoint's send scope and dropped before a predicted close. The second reviewed a build with the park in abort_for_destroy. The last check found a use after free in a build that also parked streams that had sent data, and a stream with a used writer that was hidden in the opening flight. This version has what they asked for:

• one decision for a destroyed stream, in the native destroy(), which also takes the reset of a live writer;
• a park only for a stream whose send side never reached lsquic, as on main, so lsquic cannot free a parked stream;
• the handshake hold for a client, and a drive of the engine when the held frames are released;
• the opening-flight rule keyed on a write after the park by a stream that is still open, so two destroyed streams get one answer;
• no prediction of the close: parked aborts wait for a stashed close and are retired where the close is applied;
• the flush after the session's own dispatch, so the walk at the head of process() is gone;
• a close() of the lsquic stream after the parked frames, so a parked reset no longer stays until the session ends.

The fourth round read the merge and the two commits on top of it. It found a use after free: a client that holds the frames of a destroy for its handshake can have that stream ended by the peer, and lsquic frees a stream on the tick that finishes it. A repro is the last test of the resumed-session block. The held frames now name the stream by its id. It also asked for the cleared read and write interest (a held stream kept lsquic asking for write events, see Measurements) and for the writer's reset to stop marking the stream as written, which is what let a resumed client send it before the handshake.

Not done, with reasons:

• The lsquic fix for pre-handshake packets is not here. lsquic types a packet that holds only RESET_STREAM / STOP_SENDING as Handshake and seals it with 0-RTT keys, so before opened on a resumed session resetStream() / stopSending() and the destroy() of a stream that has sent data still lose packets, as on main. The hold this PR adds can go when that is fixed. The patch this PR does add only fills in a lookup.
• Not based on node:quic: close() waits only for opened streams, and lsquic sends no GOAWAY before HTTP/3 starts #44751. This PR no longer reads or changes the rule for when a close waits, so the two do not overlap in code.
• No report to lsquic or ngtcp2 upstream.
• The receiver-side rule that hides a remote stream that arrives already reset with a close (dispatch_event) is not changed.
• writeSync(); endSync(); destroy(); close() in one turn with a large body: the close does not wait for data of the destroyed stream that lsquic still holds. From a timer, main and this PR both deliver a part (about 25,000 of 30,000 bytes) with a clean end.
• No test counts lsquic's live streams, and no HTTP/3 test abandons a unidirectional stream (an HTTP/3 peer never shows one).

Found, not in this PR

• Bun.serve HTTP/3: 4 abandoned streams from a node:quic client leave the server at 880 to 940 ms CPU per second (Bun.serve (HTTP/3): 100% CPU after a client abandons a request stream before its HEADERS #44714, closed as not planned). Main's client triggers it only when no other stream writes before the flush. A node:quic HTTP/3 server does not spin.
• A bun server whose async onstream reads without a catch loses its session on the first reset stream. The cancel loop against such a server: Node 13/13, main 8/13, this PR 1/13.
• HTTP/3: a request created with { headers } and destroyed in the same tick keeps its place on main and with this PR (12/13, Node 13/13).
• Streams of a rejected 0-RTT phase keep their places (1 of 4 left, Node 4 of 4).
• A bun client does not return credit for bidirectional streams that the server opened.
• A server-opened bidirectional stream that writes more than the client's initialMaxStreamDataBidiRemote ends both sessions with "flow control violation".
• A resumed client that stalls for 1 s between its first session ticket and HANDSHAKE_DONE loses the session, and a debug build can report a use after free in lsquic_stream_acked. The four resumed-session tests here pass through that window, as the eight vendored 0-RTT tests do.
• test-quic-callback-error-onstream.mjs and -onstream-async.mjs fail about 1 run in 4 on debug builds of main and of this PR with an uncaught ERR_QUIC_TRANSPORT_ERROR. Neither test aborts a stream.
• destroy(err) on a stream whose writer ended, with data still queued behind the peer's window, resets it with code 0 instead of the error code. The JS side asks for no reset there (wantReset is false once a writer exists), so the native side falls back to the code of handle.destroy(), which is 0. Main does the same.
• An HTTP/3 stream created with a priority option sends a PRIORITY_UPDATE that names it. In the two cases above where the peer never hears of the stream, the peer is left holding that frame for a stream that never opens. Main does the same.

Workaround for released versions

After opened, call stream.resetStream(code); stream.stopSending(code); before stream.destroy().

Walkthrough

The change adds stream lookup by QUIC stream ID and revises stream destruction to record, defer, and settle abort frames. Sessions handle deferred aborts around event dispatch, handshake completion, and closure. New tests cover these behaviors across stream types and lifecycle scenarios.

Changes

QUIC stream abort handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stream lookup API patches/lsquic/stream-by-id.patch, scripts/build/deps/lsquic.ts, src/lsquic_sys/lib.rs	The lsquic patch adds connection-level stream lookup by ID and registers the IETF implementation. The build applies the patch, and the Rust binding returns an optional stream.
Stream abort recording and delivery src/runtime/node/quic/stream.rs, src/js/internal/quic/quic.ts	QuicStream records pending abort codes and write timing, then parks or sends frames during destruction. The JS destroy path invokes the native abort path unless destruction cascades from the session.
Session deferral and settlement src/runtime/node/quic/session.rs, src/runtime/node/quic/endpoint.rs	Sessions defer aborts during dispatch or before handshake completion, resolve them by stream ID, and flush or settle them during handshake and close processing. Endpoint processing flushes aborts after session events and deferred close handling.
Destruction and deferred-abort tests test/js/node/quic/quic-stream.test.ts	Tests cover stream destruction across directions, dispatch and handshake timing, flow control, session closure, HTTP/3, and subsequent stream activity.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c01b9

Destroying a stream with an error after its writer has ended and data is still blocked can send RESET_STREAM(0) instead of the error code, so the peer may see the stream as cleanly reset. The case is narrow, so the change is mergeable with this issue noted for a follow-up fix.

Status

Reproduced on main with a client that cancels one unwritten stream before each request (12 rounds, server limit 16). Main answers 12 of 13 requests and then has no stream credit left. Node v26.3.0 and this branch answer 13 of 13.

The tests show the same failure: 49 of the 78 tests in test/js/node/quic/quic-stream.test.ts fail on a release build of main, and all 78 pass on this branch.

Merged with main (#46021 touches the same files). Three fixes after reviews of the merged diff:

• A client that holds a destroy's frames for its handshake now names the stream by its lsquic stream id. The peer can end the stream first, and lsquic frees a stream on the tick that finishes it, so the old pointer could be read after the free.
• A held stream no longer asks lsquic for read or write events.
• A destroy whose onerror calls stopSending() is never hidden or retired at close.

PR: #46054

[claude]

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 the two close paths for lost frames: settle_deferred_aborts(true) in apply_close and the flush_deferred_aborts after apply_graceful_close in flush_pending_graceful retire a stream the peer cannot know without a frame only on connection close, which matches the behaviour the description lists as item 5, and the flush_deferred_aborts call after maybe_finish_deferred_close in endpoint.rs reaches the same path. I also looked at a stopSending()-then-destroy() sequence on a 0-RTT client for a freed-stream use when the handshake is reported — peer_knows keeps that entry from being parked past the handshake, so it is not affected.

Extended reasoning...

The change reworks how QuicStream.destroy() emits RESET_STREAM/STOP_SENDING in Bun's lsquic-backed node:quic: stream.rs gains destroy_codes/destroying/finish_on_wire/send_abort, session.rs replaces the write_marker scheme with a dispatching flag, peer_knows/silent flags on DeferredAbort, and new park/settle/silence helpers, endpoint.rs moves the flush to after each session's dispatch, and the test file adds ~850 lines. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, but it holds raw lsquic stream pointers across dispatches and user callbacks. Two confirmed findings concern the 0-RTT client path (a want_write spin and a misreported wrote_to_lsquic), so a human must look; the description also lists seven behaviour changes the author asks a maintainer to rule on.

[claude]

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 two things on this push and ruled them out: the id-keyed park (settle_deferred_aborts only resolves an entry through conn.stream_by_id on a live conn, and the vendored find_stream_by_id returns only live streams, so the old raw-pointer lifetime hazard is gone), and the *s dereference in silence_opening_flight_aborts after onSessionHandshake ran user JS (self.streams is read after the callback returns and remove_stream unregisters before a stream is freed, so the SAFETY claim holds). The 5a0fa5a push also covers the three points from the earlier review.

Extended reasoning...

The push adds a vendored lsquic patch exposing stream-by-id lookup, replaces the pointer-keyed DeferredAbort with a stream-id entry, and splits native QuicStream destroy into record and finish phases across stream.rs, session.rs and endpoint.rs, plus 64 new tests. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the sensitive surface is unsafe Rust over lsquic-owned memory, which I re-read for the two sites named in the body. One confirmed finding is posted inline, so a human still needs to look; the ruled-out note records what else was checked.

[claude]

🟡 (optional) An HTTP/3 peer whose request is rejected with stream.destroy(err) during a graceful close never receives that RESET_STREAM/STOP_SENDING, only the CONNECTION_CLOSE. In process, maybe_finish_deferred_close runs before flush_deferred_aborts (endpoint.rs:1518-1519). When the destroyed stream was the last open one, apply_close calls settle_deferred_aborts(true) (session.rs:1983), which retires every parked abort that is not always_sent with shutdown_internal before the close is applied. Fix: the aborts a dispatch parked must leave before a deferred close that the same pass applies, e.g. flush them before maybe_finish_deferred_close, as flush_pending_graceful (session.rs:1973-1975) already orders them.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: an HTTP/3 server session with one open request stream calls session.close() from a timer, so apply_graceful_close (session.rs:1946-1954) sends GOAWAY and stashes deferred_close. Later, inside a dispatch, the app calls stream.destroy(err) on that stream before writing anything to it. finish_on_wire (stream.rs:972-983) parks the frames because wrote_to_lsquic is false and parks_stream_abort(false) is true while dispatching is set. After process_events, maybe_finish_deferred_close sees has_opened_stream() false and calls apply_close, which runs settle_deferred_aborts(true) (session.rs:1983): the entry is not always_sent, so it gets shutdown_internal() and no frame, then the connection closes. The client sees only GOAWAY and CONNECTION_CLOSE; its stream closed never carries the H3 error code the server chose. On the base branch the deferred abort stayed queued for the next pass's flush at the start of process rather than being retired by the close itself.

Verification: Back in QuicEndpoint::process the order is process_events -> maybe_finish_deferred_close -> flush_deferred_aborts (endpoint.rs:1517-1519). apply_close calls settle_deferred_aborts(true) first (session.rs:1983): for the parked entry closing && !e.always_sent is true, so it takes s.shutdown_internal() (session.rs:728-733). On the base branch apply_close did not touch the deferred list.

Kept as it is. A stream the peer opened never waits: on_remote_stream marks it as written to lsquic (session.rs:827), so the request in this scenario gets its frames in the call, before the close. The order only decides a stream this side opened and never wrote on. The peer cannot know that stream, and the close retires it with no frame, as Node's peer sees it too. The rows under "followed by session.close() in the same dispatch" pin it: with the flush first, two of them fail because the peer counts the abandoned stream. It is item 5 of "Behaviour changes against main" in the description, for a maintainer to rule on.

Thanks, three answers.

The comment at the park (stream.rs:969). Fixed in b1c43e0. It still described a pointer that the entry no longer holds. It now says only why the condition is there.

RESET_STREAM(0) for a derived reset. Confirmed and pre-existing. handle.destroy() takes only the cascade flag (quic.ts:2091), so the native code is 0 (stream.rs:796-800), and main's destroy uses the same value the same way (stream.rs:809-836 at 9b4284f). The code is not lost where the app can see it: a live writer's fail() carries it through resetStream(), which this PR records and sends. The gap is the narrow case you name, where the writer is already closed and lsquic still holds data. Changing it means sending the destroy's error code where main sends 0, which is another behaviour change for a maintainer to rule on, so I left it out and listed it under "Found, not in this PR" in the description.

The order of maybe_finish_deferred_close and flush_deferred_aborts (endpoint.rs:1518). Kept, for two reasons.

A stream the peer opened never waits: on_remote_stream marks it as written to lsquic (session.rs:827), so finish_on_wire sends its frames in the call. The HTTP/3 request in that scenario is a peer-opened stream, so its RESET_STREAM and STOP_SENDING go out before the close.

What the order decides is a stream this side opened and never wrote on. There the peer cannot know the stream, and the close retires it with no frame, which is what Node's peer sees too: its stream count stays 0. test/js/node/quic/quic-stream.test.ts pins it in "followed by session.close() in the same dispatch". With the flush first, two of those rows fail: the peer counts the abandoned stream. Item 5 of "Behaviour changes against main" in the description is the place to undo it.

Follow-up on d67a3d0.

stopSending() from onerror during destroy(). Fixed. That branch recorded the code but left the frames free to be hidden in a client's opening flight or retired at close, where main handed the STOP_SENDING to lsquic at once. It now marks the frames as always sent, as the reset of a failed writer does. Two new rows cover it (bidi and uni). Both fail on c01b968 and on main.

RESET_STREAM(0) for a derived reset. No issue is needed. I reproduced it on main too: destroy(err, { code: 42n }) after endSync(), with data still behind the peer's window, reaches the peer as RESET_STREAM(0). It is tracked as separate work and stays out of this PR.

Comment length. I shortened the comments that explained more than the code needs, and removed the one that still described the old pointer. The ones that remain are one to four lines. Each states a protocol or lsquic fact that the line below it depends on, or cites the Node source it follows or leaves.
