StatusThe diff is ready for review. The self-review returned 10 concerns, and all are addressed (the PR body lists them). Two things need a maintainer:
How to reproduce // A TLS server whose chain the client trusts, with a certificate for "agent1". The client asks for another name,
// wraps a connected socket, and ends at once. Run it from the root of the repository.
const tls = require("tls");
const net = require("net");
const fs = require("fs");
const dir = "test/js/node/tls/fixtures/";
const server = tls.createServer(
{ key: fs.readFileSync(dir + "agent1-key.pem"), cert: fs.readFileSync(dir + "agent1-cert.pem") },
c => c.on("error", () => {}),
);
server.on("tlsClientError", () => {});
server.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => {
const raw = net.connect(server.address().port, "127.0.0.1", () => {
const s = tls.connect({ socket: raw, servername: "another.name", ca: fs.readFileSync(dir + "ca1-cert.pem") });
for (const e of ["secureConnect", "finish", "end", "close"]) s.on(e, () => console.log(e));

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 post-callback fail-closed path in on_handshake (src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:1847-1850, 1963): reject_unauthorized already excluded a DEFERS hostname mismatch before this change, and the third callback argument was already null for that case (line 1929), so the only observable change is the second argument flipping from false to true for a completed handshake with a name mismatch on a node:tls client; Bun.connect/upgradeTLS sockets and server-side handshakes are unaffected.
Extended reasoning...
The diff is a single-expression change in the native TLS handshake dispatcher (src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs) plus a comment edit in src/js/node/net.ts and a new test matrix; it touches the TLS certificate/hostname verification surface for node:tls clients. The inline finding covers the now-unread native name check and its stored error; I traced the remaining consumers of the callback arguments and the fail-closed rejection and found them unchanged for the affected case.

src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs— Every node:tls and node:https client handshake still runs a native server-name check whose verdict this PR makes unread, and on mismatch allocates and stores a message that disagrees with the JS verdict. After socket_body.rs:1940-1941 picksuccess == 1for DEFERS sockets, theauthorized = falseandhostname_mismatchresults from socket_body.rs:1796-1817 no longer reach the callback, the error argument (1929) or the reject gate (1850); only Flags::HOSTNAME_MISMATCH (never read) and verify_error remain. Fix: gate the native check at 1796 on!flags.contains(Flags::DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY)and skip the mismatch message/verify_error store for those sockets, so the per-handshake work and the stale native verdict are removed together.Why this was flagged
Population and rate: every DEFERS client socket, i.e. every tls.connect / https request / http2 client connection (node_net_binding.rs:147 sets DEFERS unconditionally), on every handshake. socket_body.rs:1796 runs uws::check_server_identity for these sockets because the gate only excludes servers; on a mismatch 1807-1814 allocates server_identity_mismatch_message and 1827-1830 stores it as verify_error with code ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID, and 1864 sets HOSTNAME_MISMATCH. Consumers after this PR: the callback flag at 1940 ignores
authorizedfor DEFERS; the error argument at 1929 is NULL for DEFERS; reject_unauthorized at 1850 excludes DEFERS; HOSTNAME_MISMATCH is only set (1864) and cleared (1977). The only readers left are get_authorized (2368) and get_authorization_error (2412-2424), and no file in src/js calls either on a node:tls handle.Verification: nit. Cleanup-class: the PR makes the native name check dead for node:tls clients but leaves it running. Mechanism verified: /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:1796 gates the native check only on
SSL && (authorized || rejected_in_handshake) && !this.acts_as_tls_server(), so every DEFERS client (node_net_binding.rs:147 setsDEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITYunconditionally for node:net/node:tls detached sockets; socket_body.rs:4796 for client duplex upgrades) still runsuws::check_server_identity(a pure leaf-cert SAN/CN comparison, src/uws/lib.rs:1434 / src/boringssl/lib.rs:808, no SSL side effects) and on mismatch allocatesserver_identity_mismatch_message(1807-1814) and stores it asverify_errorwith code ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID (1827-1830).

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline nit, I also checked whether a deferring (node:tls) socket can reach on_handshake with rejected_in_handshake set now that the native name block skips it — it cannot: NewSocket::server_identity (src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:1992-2000) already answers Unchecked for DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY, and all three dispatch paths (socket_body.rs:4405, UpgradedDuplex.rs:183, WindowsNamedPipeContext.rs:206) route through it, so uws never stamps X509_V_ERR_HOSTNAME_MISMATCH on those sockets. I also confirmed no JS consumer of the native authorized flag or getAuthorizationError changes for node:tls clients: onClientHandshake derives authorized from the JS checkServerIdentity result only, and the server-side handshake path was already excluded via acts_as_tls_server.
Extended reasoning...
The diff moves the DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY gate from the two downstream consumers up to the native check_server_identity block in on_handshake, so node:tls clients now receive success=true with no error on a name mismatch and run their own JS checkServerIdentity; the second commit since the prior review is what introduced this hoist. The ruled-out items above were traced from the uws verify callback through every server_identity dispatch site and the JS handshake handler.

src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs— nit: the flag's doc now contradicts the code a maintainer reads it against. src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:4202 still says a hostname mismatch on a DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY socket "is reported but never enforced natively", but after the second commit the native check at socket_body.rs:1801 is skipped entirely for such sockets, so nothing is reported (nohostname_mismatch, no storedverify_error,AUTHORIZEDstays set). Fix: reword the doc to say the native name check does not run at all for deferring sockets and the JScheckServerIdentityverdict is the only one.Why this was flagged
The second commit adds
!flags.contains(Flags::DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY)to the native server-identity block at src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:1799-1803, so for node:tls socketshostname_mismatchis never set,verify_erroris not stored with ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID (socket_body.rs:1834-1837), andFlags::AUTHORIZEDis set fromsuccessalone (socket_body.rs:1865). The flag's own doc at socket_body.rs:4200-4203 was not updated and still describes the base-branch behaviour, where the mismatch was computed and reported via the stored verify error and theauthorizedgetter but not enforced. A maintainer reading the flag definition would expectgetAuthorizationError()on a deferring socket to carry the name verdict, which it no longer does. Comment-only; no runtime effect.Verification: nit. Trigger: any maintainer reading the flag doc after this PR merges. The doc at /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:4200-4203 still reads "their JS layer owns server-identity policy (
checkServerIdentity), so a hostname mismatch alone is reported but never enforced natively" — identical to the base branch (git show d115f54:... lines 4199-4202), where it was accurate: the native block ran for DEFERS sockets, sethostname_mismatch = true, storedERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALIDinverify_error, setFlags::HOSTNAME_MISMATCHand passedauthorized=falseto the handler ("reported"), whilereject_unauthorizedexcluded it ("never enforced").

…r end() A node:tls client that called end() during its handshake dropped the result of a handshake that completed later when the server's chain was trusted and its certificate was for another name. No 'error' and no 'secureConnect' followed, and the client read the server's data. The native socket passed its own name verdict to the handshake handler as the success flag. net.ts reads a failure with no error after end() as the client's own close, so it never ran checkServerIdentity. node:tls sockets now get the result of the handshake itself. Their name check stays in JS, as before.
A node:tls socket applies `checkServerIdentity` in JS. `on_handshake` still ran the native name check for it, and no reader of the result was left. The check now runs only for a socket that does not carry `DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY`, so the flag that the handler gets is the result of the handshake with no second variable.
The doc of `DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY` still said that a name mismatch is reported natively. The comment that moved with `let flags` repeated it, so it is removed.
…nd for a resumed session
- end() and end("") in the turn of tls.connect(), over a socket that is
still connecting and over a Duplex.
- end() while a resumed handshake runs over a Duplex.
…comment on the handshake flag
- `tls.connect({ socket })` on a net.Socket that is already connected, then
`end()` in the same turn: three tests. No other test reached that path.
- The comment in `onClientHandshake` said that a failure with an X509 code
means an established session. It now says what the code does.

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 whether skipping the native name check for DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY sockets can leave a node:tls client unchecked: on main the native verdict for those sockets was already reported as (false, null) with no error object (the !DEFERS guard on authorization_error), so onClientHandshake never acted on it — the JS checkServerIdentity branch in src/js/node/net.ts remains the only enforcing check before and after this PR, and tls.ts defaults it to the built-in unless the caller overrides it. rejected_in_handshake stays consistent too: server_identity() (socket_body.rs:1990) already excluded DEFERS sockets from the in-handshake check, so HOSTNAME_MISMATCH cannot reach on_handshake for them.
Extended reasoning...
The code change is ~20 lines in NewSocket::on_handshake plus a comment in net.ts; it removes the native hostname check for node:tls sockets and the two guards that check made redundant, touching the TLS server-identity path. The JS-side check in onClientHandshake is unchanged and remains the sole enforcement for node:tls, matching Node's typeof checkServerIdentity === 'function' gate; Bun.connect/upgradeTLS sockets still run the native check. One inline nit on the resumed-session test is posted, and the surface is TLS verification, so a human look is still warranted rather than an approval.
- The test passed for a full handshake too. The name check of the client now records `isSessionReused()`, and the test asserts it. - A first connection that fails no longer leaves the test waiting. - The comment on the handshake flag in `onClientHandshake` is one line.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline nit, I checked that dropping the two !DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY guards in on_handshake is behavior-preserving: hostname_mismatch is only ever assigned inside the block that is now skipped for deferring sockets (src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:1797-1822), and the in-handshake server_identity check (:1989-1998) already excluded them, so no path can set it for a node:tls client. I also confirmed every node:tls client path wires a checkServerIdentity (default or user) into bunTLSConnectOptions (src/js/node/tls.ts:853, :1642), so the removed native check always has a JS reader. The resumed-session test now asserts isSessionReused() is true, which addresses the earlier nit.
Extended reasoning...
The change skips the native hostname check in NewSocket::on_handshake for sockets flagged DEFERS_SERVER_IDENTITY (node:net/node:tls clients and client duplex upgrades) and removes two downstream guards that the skip makes redundant; net.ts changes a comment only. This is a TLS server-identity verification path, so a human maintainer should still sign off even though the dropped guards trace as equivalent and the new tests cover Duplex, TCP 1.2/1.3, connected-socket and resumed-session variants with exact error codes.

Node and Bun 1.4.2 reportERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID.on_handshake(src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs) passed its name verdict to the handler as the success flag. Afterend(),onClientHandshake(src/js/node/net.ts:496) reads a failure with no error as the client's own close and skipscheckServerIdentity.Fix
