Problem

• Over HTTP/3, a Bun.serve response body that fails mid-body reaches the client as a complete 200. res.text() resolves with the bytes sent so far. HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 reject the read.
• Cause: uws_h3_res_force_close (src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h3.cpp:119) calls us_quic_stream_close(), which queues a FIN. In HTTP/3 a FIN ends the message.
• The H3 fetch client (on_stream_close, src/http/h3_client/callbacks.rs) treats a close after the headers as a clean end. Before the headers it re-sends the request after any reset, so a POST whose body fails before its first chunk runs the handler twice.

Fix

• force_close sends RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR).
• At close, the client asks lsquic for the peer's reset (us_quic_stream_peer_reset). After the headers the request fails with HTTP3StreamReset, or ECONNRESET for a lost connection. Before them it re-sends only on H3_REQUEST_REJECTED or a lost connection, as h2 does for REFUSED_STREAM.
• Verified: 8 new tests in serve-http3.test.ts and fetch-http3-client.test.ts. 6 fail with main's src/.

Background

• An HTTP/3 response is one QUIC stream with no chunked framing. Only RESET_STREAM marks a body as cut (RFC 9114 section 4.1).
• Considered a flag and a code on us_quic_stream_s (16 bytes per stream). lsquic already holds both, so the struct is unchanged.

Downsides

• Fetch no longer re-sends a request that the server reset before the headers with a code other than H3_REQUEST_REJECTED. It fails with HTTP3StreamReset.
• Size: us_quic_stream_s +0 bytes, quic.c at -O2 +62 bytes of text, bun_http release rlib +343 bytes.
• Each H3 client stream close makes one more call into quic.c (two field reads).

Notes

Ways to cut a body that has no length, after its first chunk, read by fetch() over HTTP/3 on this build (the first eleven rows in one script, 3 runs, same result; the last row timed separately). On main these reads resolve with the first chunk.

Way	Body read
ReadableStream pull() calls controller.error()	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
ReadableStream pull() throws	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
ReadableStream start() errors later	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
async generator throws	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
direct stream pull() throws after a flush	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
TransformStream transform() errors	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
Readable.toWeb() destroyed with an error	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
proxied upstream fetch() body is cut	rejects HTTP3StreamReset
server.stop(true) mid-response	rejects ECONNRESET
the server calls process.exit(0) mid-response	rejects ECONNRESET
the server process gets SIGKILL mid-response	rejects ECONNRESET
the response stalls and the connection times out	rejects ECONNRESET

The last two have no frame on the wire. The client's idle alarm closes the connection: 1.1 s after the SIGKILL with idleTimeout: 1 on the server, 5.1 s with idleTimeout: 5, and longer after a slow handshake, because lsquic waits for the larger of the idle timeout and three probe timeouts. A node:quic origin with maxIdleTimeout: 1 that goes silent gives the same rejection after 1.1 s. A live Bun.serve whose response stalls is closed by the server after 60 s (the client's keep-alive PINGs hold the idle timer), and the read rejects then. These two are not tests: the client code path is the one the CONNECTION_CLOSE test covers (a stream that closes with no FIN and no reset), and the timer makes the duration vary from 1 s to more than 10 s.

Body that fails before its first chunk: main (since #40596) force-closes the stream before the headers, and lsquic sends RESET_STREAM with code 0. The fetch client on main re-sends the request once on a fresh connection, so the handler runs twice before fetch() rejects (the new test reports handlerRuns: "2" with main's src/). Here the reset carries H3_INTERNAL_ERROR, the client does not re-send, and the handler runs once.

Struct size: an earlier revision of this PR stored int peer_reset and uint64_t peer_reset_code on every us_quic_stream_s. Both are gone. us_quic_stream_peer_reset reads lsquic_stream_reset_received() and lsquic_stream_get_error_code() (both public lsquic API, already used by node:quic) while the stream is live, which includes on_stream_close. One limit: lsquic keeps one error code per stream, so a STOP_SENDING that arrives after the RESET_STREAM replaces the code. lsquic's own QUIC_RST_ACKNOWLEDGEMENT reset, which also writes that field, runs for gQUIC streams only (!(sm_bflags & SMBF_IETF) in lsquic_stream_rst_in). That only affects the retry decision before the headers. H3ErrorCode is repr(u16) and is never stored.

Size numbers: quic.c compiled with the build's own flags at -O2 without sanitizers, size text 12237 to 12299 bytes. cargo build --release -p bun_http, size -t text 273051 to 273394 bytes, and the on_stream_close symbol goes from 77 to 356 bytes (on_stream_closed is inlined into it). The C++ glue changes one call and takes one more argument.

The node:quic reader in the wire-level test asserts the closed rejection (ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR, errorCode 258) and that the iterator did not end cleanly. It does not assert which error the iterator throws: when the stream is already closed at the next pull, node:quic throws ERR_INVALID_STATE instead of ERR_QUIC_STREAM_RESET (14 of 60 runs in a loop). That is a separate node:quic inconsistency, not changed here.

The fixtures order the wire without a sleep: the body source fails only after the client, which by then holds the status and the first chunk, requests /release. The two H3_REQUEST_REJECTED tests pin the existing retry path and pass on main: a small body rejected with destroy() (RESET_STREAM and STOP_SENDING), and an 8 MiB body that is still uploading when the server sends RESET_STREAM alone (resetStream(0x10b)). The other six fail with main's src/ and packages/.

FileResponseStream.rs also calls force_close() when a file read fails mid-response, so that path resets the H3 stream too.

Suites run with the debug build after merging main: serve-http3, fetch-http3-client, fetch-http3-adversarial, fetch-http3-cold-post, fetch-http3-syscall-fault, test/js/node/quic/ (201 pass), serve-protocols, body-stream, serve-direct-readable-stream, fetch-backpressure (9402 pass, 2 skip), serve-stream-body-error (26 pass), bun run rust:check-all (12 targets), clang-format:check.

[robobun]

Status: reproduced and fixed, merged with main, review re-requested. CI is green on e19699e.

Reproduced with a debug build of main: a Bun.serve Response over HTTP/3 whose body stream enqueues a chunk and then calls controller.error(). The client's fetch() resolves with status 200 and the body read resolves with the truncated body. With this change the read rejects with HTTP3StreamReset, and a node:quic client sees RESET_STREAM with error code 258 (H3_INTERNAL_ERROR).

Run on this head: 12 of 12 ways to cut a body that has no length now reject the fetch() body read over HTTP/3. That includes server.stop(true), process.exit(0), SIGKILL of the server, and a connection that times out (all ECONNRESET). The table is in the PR notes.

Review answer: us_quic_stream_s no longer grows. The peer's reset and its code are read from lsquic at stream close.

Eight new tests cover the server reset, the client's handling of a reset or a connection close mid-body, a body that fails before its first chunk (the handler runs once, not twice), and the retry policy before the headers. Six of them fail with main's src/ and packages/.

Walkthrough

QUIC stream reset APIs now accept error codes and expose peer-reset codes. The HTTP/3 client uses reset information to select retry or error handling. Server response failures reset streams with H3_INTERNAL_ERROR. Tests cover incomplete response bodies, connection closure, connection reuse, and pre-header retries.

Changes

HTTP/3 stream reset handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
QUIC reset contract and state packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.*, src/uws_sys/quic.*	Reset APIs accept HTTP/3 error codes. H3ErrorCode defines internal-error, request-rejected, and request-cancelled values. The stream API exposes peer-reset state.
HTTP/3 client close handling src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs, src/http/h3_client/callbacks.rs	Stream-close callbacks forward peer-reset state. Before response headers, the client retries only when no reset occurred or the code is H3_REQUEST_REJECTED. Other closures map to abort, reset, or connection-closed errors. Detached streams use H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED.
HTTP/3 failure signaling and regression coverage src/uws_sys/h3.rs, src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h3.cpp, test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts, test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts	Forced server response closure resets the stream with H3_INTERNAL_ERROR. Tests cover failures before and after body data, connection closure, connection reuse, and retry behavior.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes wire-level HTTP/3 stream-close semantics on both the server and client sides and adjusts an FFI signature across C/C++/Rust, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• FFI signature change to us_quic_stream_reset — all call sites (Rust Stream::reset, C++ uws_h3_res_force_close) updated in lockstep; H3ErrorCode #[repr(u64)] matches the C uint64_t.
• New peer_reset field — zero-initialized via us_calloc at stream allocation, so no uninitialized read.
• on_stream_closed control flow — qstream is nulled before fail() runs, so Stream::abort() is a no-op and the freed lsquic stream is not touched; the pre-headers path still routes through deliver for the stale-session retry.
• Tests — extend existing files, use port: 0 and local node:quic servers; the Bun.sleep(10) calls yield to the event loop for lsquic packetization (commented) rather than waiting on a condition.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a correctness bug where Bun.serve over HTTP/3 sent FIN instead of RESET_STREAM when a response body stream errored mid-transmission, causing clients to receive truncated bodies as complete messages. It also fixes the mirror bug in the HTTP/3 fetch client, which treated every post-headers stream close as a clean end-of-body. The change spans packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.{c,h} (new peer_reset flag, us_quic_stream_reset gains an error-code parameter, new us_quic_stream_peer_reset accessor), src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h3.cpp (force_close now resets instead of closes), src/uws_sys/quic/Stream.rs (Rust FFI bindings + H3ErrorCode enum), and src/http/h3_client/{ClientSession.rs,callbacks.rs} (new on_stream_closed that distinguishes FIN from RESET_STREAM/CONNECTION_CLOSE). Four new tests cover both server-emits-reset and client-interprets-reset paths.

Security risks

None identified. This is an RFC 9114 correctness fix — sending RESET_STREAM instead of FIN when a body fails is the spec-mandated behavior. The change does not touch auth, crypto, TLS, or input parsing. If anything, it improves security posture: previously a truncated body could be silently accepted as complete, which is a data-integrity concern.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The change is focused and well-motivated with clear RFC citations, and mirrors the existing HTTP/2 RST_STREAM handling. However, it modifies protocol-level stream lifecycle behavior in both the server and client HTTP/3 stacks, changes an FFI function signature across three languages, and adds new control flow in the h3 client's stream-close callback (which runs inside lsquic's process_conns and interacts with pointer-provenance-sensitive session/stream lifetime code). These are exactly the kind of changes where a subtle ordering or lifetime issue could produce a UAF or a hung request, so a maintainer familiar with the h3 client internals should confirm the reasoning about "a FIN always detaches inside deliver, so an attached stream at close never got one."

Other factors

The bug hunt ran to dry_streak with no findings. I verified: the new struct field is zero-initialized (us_calloc); all us_quic_stream_reset callers were updated; on_stream_closed nulls qstream before calling fail() so the dying lsquic stream is not touched via abort(); the Aborted signal check preserves the ordering deliver had. The tests are well-constructed — they extend existing test files, use local node:quic servers (no external network), assert composite objects with .toEqual, and include both a fetch() end-to-end assertion and a wire-level assertion that RESET_STREAM(0x102) is what goes out. The Bun.sleep(10) calls are under the 50ms REVIEW.md threshold, are commented as event-loop yields for lsquic packetization, and are not waiting on a condition. No CODEOWNERS entries cover the changed paths. The change is not simple/mechanical enough for auto-approval given it alters transport-layer error semantics.

[robobun]

Review follow-up, pushed in c79e217 and 405ec97:

• The fixture servers no longer order the wire with a 10 ms sleep. The body source sends one chunk and fails only when the client, which by then holds the status and that chunk, requests /release. The four tests still fail on main's source (checked by building with main's src/ and packages/) and pass with the fix.
• The node:quic reader asserts the structured reset code (ERR_QUIC_APPLICATION_ERROR, errorCode 258) from the stream's closed promise instead of the error message text.
• The doc comments on the new helpers are shortened. They state the protocol contract (a FIN completes an HTTP/3 message, so an attached stream at close never got one), not a workaround.

[robobun]

A note from closing #40648. Since #40596 (ec70edb), close_incomplete_stream() (src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:1358 on main) calls force_close() for a body that fails before its first byte on every transport, HTTP/3 included. uws_h3_res_force_close on main still calls us_quic_stream_close(), so that case ends the H3 stream with a FIN today.

The Notes above say the "error before the first chunk" case still takes end_stream(). That is no longer true on main. After a rebase, the RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) from this PR also covers the before-first-byte case, and the client change here (re-send once only for H3_REQUEST_REJECTED) is what keeps that request from being sent twice. #40648 kept the normal end on H3 before the first byte as a workaround for the FIN. I closed it in favor of this PR.

[robobun]

@Jarred-Sumner the struct growth is gone, and the branch is merged with main (66d6962).

• us_quic_stream_s is byte-identical to main now. The earlier revision added int peer_reset and uint64_t peer_reset_code to every stream (16 bytes). Both fields are removed. us_quic_stream_peer_reset reads the same two facts from lsquic (lsquic_stream_reset_received, lsquic_stream_get_error_code) at on_stream_close, while the stream is still live.
• No other struct changes. H3ErrorCode is repr(u16) and is only passed as an argument.
• The source diff against main is down to 82 insertions and 14 deletions in 8 files. I restored main's comments where I had only reworded them.
• Measured: quic.c at -O2 +62 bytes of text, the bun_http release rlib +343 bytes.

Since #40596 landed, main force-closes an H3 response whose body fails before its first chunk. The fetch client on main re-sends that request once, so the handler runs twice. This PR stops the re-send (new test: "before the first chunk: fetch() rejects and the handler runs once"). server.stop(true) in the middle of a response now rejects the H3 body read with ECONNRESET as well.

Verified on the merged branch: the 7 new tests (6 fail with main's src/ and packages/), the serve-http3, fetch-http3-* and node/quic suites (201 pass), and serve-protocols, body-stream, serve-direct-readable-stream, fetch-backpressure (9402 pass).

[claude]

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether us_quic_stream_reset in packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c needs to mark the context dirty (pending_write_bytes) so the RESET_STREAM goes out on the next drain when force_close runs outside a QUIC tick — the replaced us_quic_stream_close path had the same shape, so this is not a regression introduced here.

Extended reasoning...

The PR changes the HTTP/3 server's force_close from FIN to RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) via a new error_code parameter on us_quic_stream_reset, adds us_quic_stream_peer_reset over lsquic accessors, introduces an H3ErrorCode enum in Rust, and reworks the fetch H3 client's on_stream_close to retry only on no-reset or H3_REQUEST_REJECTED. It touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface, only wire-level stream termination semantics. Three verified findings are posted inline (plus unposted ones) and a human CHANGES_REQUESTED review from a maintainer predates the latest commits, so approval is not appropriate; this note only records the one additional candidate examined and ruled out as pre-existing.

[robobun]

Review follow-up at 7908e11:

• The finding about the reset code (read at close, overwritten with 7) does not apply to HTTP/3. lsquic's QUIC_RST_ACKNOWLEDGEMENT reset in lsquic_stream_rst_in is guarded by !(stream->sm_bflags & SMBF_IETF) and runs for gQUIC streams only. I added the reported scenario as a test: a POST with an 8 MiB body that the server rejects with RESET_STREAM(H3_REQUEST_REJECTED) while the upload is still in flight. The client reads code 0x10B at close and sends the request again once.
• The two notes marked as on main today (the retry opens a new connection and leaves the old session marked closed, and a connection lost before the headers reports HTTP3StreamReset) are unchanged by this PR. I left both out to keep the change to the stream-end signal and the retry decision.
• CI on 66d6962: 180 of 181 jobs passed. The one red test is test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts on the debian x64 ASAN lane. This PR does not touch spawn code.

Two more ways to cut a body were asked about: a server that dies and the idle timer. I ran both on this head (e19699e), with a wider set of ways. The table is in the PR notes. Summary:

• 12 of 12 ways to cut a body that has no length, after its first chunk, now reject the fetch() body read over HTTP/3. Eight stream failures (controller.error(), a throwing pull(), an async generator, a direct stream, a TransformStream, Readable.toWeb(), a proxied upstream body) reject with HTTP3StreamReset. server.stop(true), process.exit(0), SIGKILL of the server, and a connection that times out reject with ECONNRESET.
• SIGKILL: no frame reaches the client. Its idle alarm closes the connection 1.1 s after the kill with idleTimeout: 1 on the server and 5.1 s with idleTimeout: 5. lsquic waits for the larger of the idle timeout and three probe timeouts, so a slow handshake makes it longer (10 s in one cold run).
• Idle timer: a node:quic origin with maxIdleTimeout: 1 that goes silent mid-body gives ECONNRESET after 1.1 s. A live Bun.serve whose response stalls is closed by the server after 60 s, because the client's keep-alive PINGs hold the idle timer. The read rejects then.

I did not add tests for these two. For the client they are the same code path as the CONNECTION_CLOSE test (a stream that closes with no FIN and no reset), and the timer makes the duration vary from 1 s to more than 10 s, which does not fit the default test timeout on the slow lanes.

CI on this head is green.
