When the peer resets a connection, the native layer drains the bytes the kernel still holds before it reports the close, also for a stopped handle. A socket built with `readable: false` starts with an ended Readable, so pushDataToSocket pushed those bytes after EOF. The socket then failed with ERR_STREAM_PUSH_AFTER_EOF in place of ECONNRESET. pushDataToSocket now returns early when the readable side has ended. Node never reads on such a socket, so it never sees those bytes either.
WalkthroughSockets without a readable side now use a native no-reader pause. Error events do not drain queued input for sockets with that pause. Regression tests cover TCP, adopted sockets, and TLS behavior. ChangesNo-reader socket handling

LGTM — a one-line guard at the shared push site, with a test that awaits the real close event.
What was reviewed:
- Checked that the guard sits in the shared
pushDataToSockethelper, so all threedatahandlers (client, server, SocketHandlers2) get it, and that theonreadpath uses its own handlers object and never reaches this push. - Verified
readableEndedis only true afterendEmitted, so a normally-reading socket cannot hit the early return beforepush(null)— no data is dropped for readable sockets. - Test:
port: 0,once(client, "connect")rejects on pre-connect error,closeis the awaited terminal event, single compositetoEqual, server closed infinally— no sleep/timeout ordering.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR adds if (self.readableEnded) return; to pushDataToSocket in src/js/node/net.ts so that bytes drained by the native layer during a reset are dropped for a readable: false socket instead of being pushed into an already-ended Readable (which raised ERR_STREAM_PUSH_AFTER_EOF and masked the ECONNRESET). A new test in test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts connects with readable: false, has the peer write then resetAndDestroy(), and asserts { hadError: true, events: ["error:ECONNRESET"] }.
Security risks
None. This is a read-side drop of already-unreachable bytes on a client socket whose readable half was never enabled. No auth, crypto, or untrusted-input parsing is touched.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-moderate. The guard is one line placed in the shared helper that all three data handlers (SocketHandlers, ServerHandlers, SocketHandlers2) call, so the fix covers the whole class rather than one call site. readableEnded reads _readableState.endEmitted, which is only true after push(null) has been processed — a normally-reading socket can never satisfy the guard while data is still legitimately arriving, so no live data is dropped. The onread path installs its own handlers object and never routes through pushDataToSocket, so readable: false + onread is unaffected (matching the sibling test just below the added one). Reading self.readableEnded via the prototype getter is consistent with the file's existing use of self.push/self.destroy.
Other factors
The test follows harness conventions closely: listen(0), Promise.withResolvers for the accepted peer and the close event, once(client, "connect") (which rejects on a pre-connect error), a single composite toEqual, and server.close() in finally. No sleeps — the reset is issued from the write callback and the assertion awaits the close event, which always follows error on a net.Socket, so the test cannot hang on the failure path. CODEOWNERS does not cover either changed file, the hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings, and there are no outstanding reviewer objections in the timeline.

isn't the correct fix to pause the socket? please add the github url with the line where node.js silently discards data in their implemetnation as a comment above.

@Jarred-Sumner the socket is already paused. The bytes reach JS through a different door, and node has no line that discards them. Details: The pause is in place. Since #42213, The bytes come from the error drain in usockets. On an error event, Node does not discard these bytes, it never reads them. There is no such line to link. Two ways to get the same result here:
I kept 1 because it is one line and stays in the layer that knows about |
…se owner never reads A socket built with `readable: false` never reads. node:net pauses its handle, but on an error event the dispatcher read the receive queue even for a paused socket (the drain from #39860), and node:net pushed those bytes into the ended Readable: ERR_STREAM_PUSH_AFTER_EOF in place of ECONNRESET. us_socket_pause_no_reader() marks the socket, us_socket_resume() clears the mark, and the error drain skips a marked socket, as libuv reads only while UV_HANDLE_READING is set. node:net uses it when it stops a `readable: false` socket, for a dial and for a connected fd.
…est.ts - Add a test for a reset behind unread data on an adopted fd (Linux). - Move the TLS-over-readable:false test next to the other tests, so that one test file carries the change. - pause_stream_no_reader falls through to pause_stream for everything that is not an established socket. - libuv.c: the error path comment names the no_reader exception.

@Jarred-Sumner I reworked the PR to the design your question points at. The fix is now at the pause, and nothing discards data in JS. What changed
The node reference Node has no line that discards these bytes, so there is no such link. It never reads them: libuv reads only while Numbers (linux x64, details in the PR notes)
One difference from node stays: Bun reports a reset to a paused socket at once, node finds it at the next write. This PR does not change that. |

Exclude no-reader sockets from the readable branch.
drain_for_error excludes s->no_reader, but the LIBUS_SOCKET_READABLE branch bypasses that guard. If polling has already fetched a readable-and-error event when us_socket_pause_no_reader() runs, events still contains LIBUS_SOCKET_READABLE. The loop can then call bsd_recv(...) and deliver queued bytes to a Readable that has already ended, restoring ERR_STREAM_PUSH_AFTER_EOF.

Replace the fixed-turn wait with a synchronization condition.
Five setImmediate turns do not establish that the queued banner reached the relevant poll dispatch. The test can pass on a slow run even if the client later reads the banner. Synchronize on an observable peer or poll condition before asserting that the client received no data. As per coding guidelines: “Do not write flaky tests” and “Always wait for the condition to be met instead of waiting for an arbitrary amount of time.”

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 that no_reader is zeroed at every us_socket_t init site that zeroes hangup_closes_unsent (listen-socket init and connect init in packages/bun-usockets/src/context.c, the accept path in loop.c, and us_socket_from_fd in socket.c) and cleared in us_socket_resume, and that js_pause_no_reader is a no-op for TLS sockets (as_class_ref::<TCPSocket> only), so the TLS read path is not affected.
Extended reasoning...
The new bit is initialized at all four struct-init sites and cleared on resume; the Rust host function only marks plain TCP sockets. The remaining concern is the Windows errno-misreport finding posted inline, plus an earlier CHANGES_REQUESTED review from a maintainer that later commits may or may not have addressed.

🟡 (optional) On Windows, a readable: false node:net socket whose connection dies with a non-reset error (keepalive/ETIMEDOUT, EHOSTUNREACH) now reports ECONNRESET instead of the real errno. loop.c:650 skips the recv() drain for a no_reader socket, but on libuv the probe at eventing/libuv.c:113 already consumed SO_ERROR, so loop.c:988 reads 0 and falls back to LIBUS_ECONNRESET. On the base branch the drain's recv() returned the real error at loop.c:870. Fix: keep the errno the libuv probe read (stash it on the socket or pass it into the dispatch) so the plain error close at loop.c:989 reports it for a no_reader socket on every backend. The PR text flags this as a possible Windows difference; it is a real regression for every marked socket on that backend.
Why this was flagged
A node:net socket created with readable: false (no onread) runs readStopNoReader in afterConnect (src/js/node/net.ts:3622), which sets s->no_reader = 1 via us_socket_pause_no_reader (packages/bun-usockets/src/socket.c:868). On Windows the connection later dies without a RST, e.g. a TCP keepalive or retransmit timeout. poll_cb in packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/libuv.c:111-115 sees the paused socket, calls us_socket_get_error(sock) (getsockopt SO_ERROR, which returns and resets the error), and sets error = 1. drain_for_error at packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c:650 is now 0 because of !s->no_reader, so the recv() loop is skipped. The plain error close at loop.c:988-989 calls us_socket_get_error(s) again, gets 0, and closes with LIBUS_ECONNRESET. On the base branch the drain ran, recv() returned the sticky socket error, and loop.c:870 closed with LIBUS_ERR, i.e. the real errno. The user's 'error' listener therefore now gets code ECONNRESET where it got ETIMEDOUT or similar before.
Verification: libuv.c:113 calls us_socket_get_error(sock) != 0, then sets error = 1. In packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c:650 the new !s->no_reader term makes drain_for_error false, so the recv() loop (loop.c:870, which carried recv's real WSA code) is skipped. loop.c:988 int socket_error = us_socket_get_error(s); now reads the already-cleared SO_ERROR (0) and loop.c:989 falls back to LIBUS_ECONNRESET.
Problem

With nothing queued the reset reportsECONNRESET. Main only, since node:net: honor readable/writable in the Socket constructor so a write-only adopted fd stays open #42213.drain_for_error,packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c:650). node:net pushes those bytes into the ended Readable.socket.connect({ fd })did not pause such a socket, so every byte reached that push.Fix
