Problem

Fix

  • us_select_cert_cb (openssl.c), where the fd engine asks, also suspends an SSL of SSLWrapper. SSLWrapper then asks the socket's serverName handler, and us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx applies the answer on both engines.
  • A pending answer keeps up to 16384 bytes from the peer, which BoringSSL skips as rejected early data. More drops the connection.
  • TLSSocket::on_open no longer sets a servername option on a server SSL. The name asked, and socket.servername, are the client's, as in Node.
  • Verified: test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts (113 tests, 78 fail on main), node's test-tls-socket-snicallback-without-server.js. Self-reviewed: 43 concerns raised, 21 addressed. The other 22 are about the http2 wrap.

Background

Downsides

  • SSLWrapper grows by 8 bytes (Inner<T> 296 → 304, the same 320-byte class).
  • A server socket that was given servername reports the client's name in socket.servername, on both engines.
  • Still open: an injected connection of http2.createSecureServer, and a named-pipe TLS server on Windows.
Notes

Where this comes from. #44618 took the fd-engine half: addContext() entries on the server, the default resolver for an injected net.Socket, ALPN after a name selection. Its "Known limits" says: "addContext() / SNICallback still do not apply to a server-side socket on the stream engine (emit("connection", duplex), TLS in TLS, unflushed writes, named pipes), as on main." This pull removes that limit for every door but the named-pipe listener. It follows the choices of main: the one native name matcher (selectServerName), SSL_set_SSL_CTX through us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx, the session id context partition.

Who reaches this door. A program that ends TLS on a stream it made itself: a PROXY-protocol or STARTTLS front, a CONNECT proxy that ends TLS on the socket of an http 'connect' event (that socket has no handle to adopt), TLS in TLS, and new tls.TLSSocket(stream, { isServer: true, SNICallback }) over Duplex.fromWeb, which is what pg-gateway 0.3.0-beta.4 does.

How the stream engine asks.

  • SSLWrapper::init_with_ctx arms the question only for a server wrapper whose owner passes on_server_name. It installs us_select_cert_cb on the SSL_CTX (us_ssl_wrapper_on_server_name), the same permanent install as us_socket_on_server_name. The callback stays a no-op for an SSL with no resolver.
  • DuplexUpgradeContext passes on_server_name only when the socket has a serverName handler: the server had an SNICallback or an addContext() entry when the connection was wrapped. ProxyTunnel, WebSocketProxyTunnel and WindowsNamedPipe pass None.
  • us_ssl_wrapper_select_cert runs no owner code inside BoringSSL. For a ClientHello with a server name it answers "retry", SSL_do_handshake returns SSL_ERROR_PENDING_CERTIFICATE, and update_handshake_state calls on_server_name. A ClientHello with no name does not suspend.
  • resolve_server_name(Ok(ctx)) switches the context and drives the handshake again. Err drops the connection with no TLS alert, like node, and the error of the SNICallback reaches 'tlsClientError'. An answer that nobody waits for is dropped.
  • ServerNameAnswer (Listener.rs) is the typed form of what ServerHandlers.serverName returns. Both engines decode it in one place. The stream engine takes the handler scope around the call (TLSSocket::on_server_name). The fd engine cannot, because it asks inside BoringSSL.

Rules of the answer.

  • Bytes from the peer while the answer is pending. A TLS 1.3 client can send early data directly behind its ClientHello. The engine keeps those bytes for BoringSSL, which skips rejected early data up to 16384 bytes (kMaxEarlyDataSkipped). More than that cannot end in a session, so the engine drops the connection and the server reports ECONNRESET. The fd engine drops at the first byte (openssl.c: "the TLS framing is broken"). That resets a client that sends early data to a listen() server with an asynchronous SNICallback, also on 1.4.3. It is reported separately.
  • consumeSNIResult (net.ts) judges context.context || context, like node (loadSNI, TLSWrap::CertCbDone). A falsy answer and a primitive keep the default context. An object that is no context is a TypeError "Invalid SNI context". Main refuses cb(null, false) on the fd engine.
  • The name. tls.createServer({ servername }) kept the name in the server's shared credentials, and TLSSocket::on_open set it on each SSL with SSL_set_tlsext_host_name. On a server SSL that name comes before the ClientHello's in SSL_get_servername. Main reported it as socket.servername for an injected net.Socket, and the stream engine would have asked the SNICallback for it. on_open now sets the name for a client only. Node reads the option in tls.connect() only.
  • A user SNICallback that selects nothing gets the default context on the doors of this pull, as in Node and as emit("connection", netSocket) on main. The listen() door of main falls back to the addContext() entries (us_select_cert_cb, since net,tls: port Node.js net/tls compatibility tests and fix the gaps they surface — half-open/reset/write semantics, server TLSSocket wrap, session/keylog, SNICallback/ALPNCallback, pfx, OpenSSL error shapes, addCACert, local binding (+305 tests) #31155). That difference is reported separately.

Tests (debug ASAN build of this branch / debug build of main 7f3bc6a):

  • node-tls-server.test.ts, "server names for a connection handed in with server.emit('connection')" and "an SNICallback over a Duplex can drop its connection": 112 pass, 1 skip / 34 pass, 78 fail, 1 skip. The 34 are the listen() and net.Socket controls, and four tests over a stream that expect no selection. The skip is the named-pipe door, which runs on Windows only.
  • The spawned fixture tls-sni-callback-over-duplex-fixture.mjs runs 14 things an SNICallback can do to its connection (destroy, end, answer late, answer twice, throw). Node v26.3.0 gives the same events, except that it destroys the socket for a second answer.
  • Over a Duplex: the server writes 0 bytes before the answer and 0 bytes after a refusal (TLS 1.2 and 1.3), two handshakes that wait at once get their own answers, and the count of live SSL_CTX returns to its start after four answers with a context of their own (at once, later, after the callback destroyed the socket, after the socket is gone). That test holds the two contexts that its connections share and counts the answers: on a release build the sockets of a finished connection over duplexPair() stay reachable for 34 turns of the event loop, with and without an SNICallback. These tests, and the answer rows for the native context, a number, nothing on a later turn and a throw, come from the branch robobun/cf04c585/sni-callback-stream-engine, a third implementation that does not become a pull request.
  • The handshakeTimeout test raises the deadline from inside the callback (this.emit("timeout"), which is what the timer does in Node and in Bun). It waits for no time to pass.
  • Early data. One test replays the first flight of openssl s_client -early_data (OpenSSL 3.5.7): a ClientHello that offers early data, a ChangeCipherSpec and one record of early data. After the answer the server sends its ServerHello. BoringSSL ends the handshake with ERR_SSL_TOO_MUCH_SKIPPED_EARLY_DATA only when 16384 more bytes arrive. Two more tests send a record behind a plain ClientHello: 16384 bytes are kept, 16385 bytes drop the connection. A run with the real client against the Duplex door completes the handshake with "Early data was rejected", as on Node.
  • test/js/node/test/parallel/test-tls-socket-snicallback-without-server.js (node v26.3.0, unedited): exit 0 / exit 1.
  • test/js/node/tls at 6b2a101: 1318 tests, 7 fail, none on the path of this diff. 4 need the public network (bun.sh:443). tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS reaches a client… and concurrent Workers all see the same CA certificate lists pass the 5 s limit on this debug build (the second passes in 27 s with a longer limit). 1 passes alone.
  • The 187 vendored test-tls-*: 186 exit 0. test-tls-client-allow-partial-trust-chain.js needs the test runner. At 21cccdc the 641 vendored test-tls-*, test-https-*, test-http2-*, test-net-* gave 639.
  • test/js/node/http2: 624 tests, 2 pass the 5 s limit in the full run and pass alone. test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts, tcp-server.test.ts, tls-reject-before-client-cert.test.ts, tls-fatal-error-closes.test.ts, bun-serve-ssl.test.ts, sql-tls-ip-literal-host.test.ts: 1 fail, which needs www.example.com:443.
  • cargo clippy for bun_runtime, bun_uws, bun_uws_sys, cargo fmt, oxlint and tsc for the test file are clean. bun run rust:check-all gave 12 of 12 targets at 059036d. The commits since then have no platform-specific code.
  • Not run: Windows and macOS.

Measurements (release builds with LTO, linux x64, main a407eae → 21cccdc). The commits since 21cccdc add one length comparison on the suspended path and one branch per TLS socket in on_open. They are not measured again.

  • Binary: size text 106006447 → 106005429 bytes (-1018: .text -1680, .bun_builtins +662). The file size is equal.
  • SSLWrapper: Inner<T> 296 → 304 bytes, Handlers<T> 72 → 80 bytes.
  • Per injected tls.Server connection held open (N=200, both ends in the process): net.Socket 85.0 → 85.4 cells, Duplex 113.5 → 113.5 cells. With an addContext() entry: 86.5 → 86.6 and 114.5 → 114.7 cells. nextTick (9 and 16) and setTimeout (1) are equal.
  • CPU per handshake over a Duplex, 1500 handshakes, 5 interleaved rounds, median (range). No entry: 1334 (1288 to 1448) → 1356 (1302 to 1679) µs. With an addContext() entry for the name, which main ignores there: 1364 (1294 to 1458) → 1366 (1333 to 1415) µs. No difference is above the spread.
  • us_select_cert_cb for a us_socket_t: compiled alone with the release flags and no LTO (clang -O3), the function has the instructions of main on that path. The new arm is 14 instructions behind the s == NULL test that main already made. A stream-engine SSL reaches that arm only on a SecureContext that has the callback, which a server or a wrap with a resolver installs.
  • Instruction counts over whole handshakes: not measured. perf and valgrind are not in the build container.

Still open.

  • http2.createSecureServer wraps an injected connection in _http2_upgrade.ts, which passes no resolver. A first version of this pull deleted that wrap. The review found that the deletion changes how such a connection is torn down: an allowHTTP1 response with Connection: close over a Duplex arrived cut (2,572,288 of 8,388,608 bytes). That work needs a teardown change and its own close differential, so it is a separate pull.
  • A TLS server that listens on a Windows named pipe runs the engine of WindowsNamedPipe for its sockets, with on_server_name: None. A named pipe handed in with emit("connection") takes the stream engine and has a test, which runs on Windows only.
  • https.Server (Node's https server doesn't have addContext function #12157, fix(node:https): wrap injected raw connections with TLS #42594).
  • A callback of the stream engine that destroys its socket and then runs the event loop inside the call (expect(promise).resolves of bun:test waits that way) makes the engine read freed memory. A debug ASAN build of main shows it after a 'data' listener and after a 'secureConnection' listener, and on_server_name is one more callback of that kind. The fix is one rule for the free of DuplexUpgradeContext. It is reported separately.
  • A server's ciphers do not hold under a name that has its own context (SSL_set_SSL_CTX). Node keeps them. That is the behaviour of main on both engines.

…nd http2

- SSLWrapper: a server wrapper whose owner has a resolver pauses its handshake
  at BoringSSL's certificate callback (SSL_set_cert_cb, per SSL) and asks the
  owner after SSL_do_handshake returned. resolve_server_name() applies the
  answer with us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx, the switch the fd engine uses, and
  resumes, or refuses the connection with no alert.
- UpgradedDuplex / DuplexUpgradeContext: deliver the question to the socket's
  serverName handler, the one a us_socket_t already asks. handle.resumeSNI()
  resumes a paused stream handshake.
- http2: remove Http2SecureServer.prototype.emit and _http2_upgrade.ts. An
  injected connection takes tls.Server's wrap: names, SNICallback,
  ALPNCallback, handshakeTimeout and the server's 'connection' listeners apply,
  and 'secureConnection' carries a TLSSocket.
… fd engine uses

- us_select_cert_cb gets an arm for an SSL that no us_socket_t drives
  (us_ssl_wrapper_select_cert in src/uws/lib.rs). No per-SSL cert_cb.
- While the owner has not answered, more bytes from the peer drop the
  connection, as on the fd engine.
- The question of the stream engine takes the handler scope, like its other
  callbacks. sni_resolve names every socket kind.
- node:net: a falsy SNICallback answer and a value that is no object keep the
  default context, an object that is no context is a TypeError, as in node.
…lback can give

- The doors share one front (openDoor). The unflushed-writes door holds a
  corked greeting, and asserts that it did.
- Refusals name the verdict, each SNICallback answer is one row, and the
  session partition runs both ways under TLS 1.2 and 1.3.
- A spawned fixture runs what an SNICallback may do to its connection over a
  Duplex (destroy, end, answer late, answer twice).
- A peer that sends more before the answer is dropped on every door, and a
  dropped suspended handshake reports ECONNRESET.

Status: reproduced and fixed.

  • Reproduced with the new tests in test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts ("server names for a connection handed in with server.emit('connection')" and "an SNICallback over a Duplex can drop its connection") and with node's test-tls-socket-snicallback-without-server.js. On a debug build of main 7f3bc6a, 78 of the 113 tests fail and the node test exits 1: a server-side TLS socket over a Duplex serves the default certificate and never calls SNICallback.
  • With this branch the 112 tests that run on Linux pass on a debug build and on a release build, and the node test exits 0. The named-pipe test runs on Windows only.
  • CI on e23abf7 (build 127586): the 179 jobs that ran passed. The build is red because the two darwin any x64 - test-bun jobs got no agent and expired after 2.5 hours. No test failed.

Walkthrough

TLS handshakes can pause for server-name certificate selection and resume with a selected context, the default context, or a refusal. The flow supports TLS sockets and server-mode duplex upgrades. The changes also adjust client SNI setup and add callback regression tests.

Changes

Server-name certificate selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
TLS certificate selection and handshake suspension
packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c, packages/bun-usockets/src/libusockets.h, src/boringssl_sys/boringssl.rs, src/uws/lib.rs
The SSL wrapper registers a certificate-selection callback and tracks pending selection. It can apply a selected context, resume the handshake, or close it after an error.
Server-name callback answers
src/js/node/net.ts, src/runtime/socket/Listener.rs
The listener maps callback results to default, selected, pending, or refused answers, then converts each answer for the TLS handshake.
Socket and duplex callback routing
src/runtime/socket/UpgradedDuplex.rs, src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs, src/runtime/socket/WindowsNamedPipe.rs, src/uws_sys/*, src/http/ProxyTunnel.rs, src/http_jsc/websocket_client/WebSocketProxyTunnel.rs
TLS sockets and server-mode duplex upgrades route server-name requests to configured handlers. The FFI path forwards resolutions to upgraded duplexes and frees contexts for unsupported socket types. Client sockets retain their SNI setup; TLS server sockets do not send SNI.
TLS server-name regression coverage
test/js/node/test/parallel/test-tls-socket-snicallback-without-server.js, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts, test/js/node/tls/tls-sni-callback-over-duplex-fixture.mjs
Tests cover callback answers, selected contexts, delayed or missing answers, connection teardown, ALPN, session resumption, and injected socket and duplex paths.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the OwnedSslCtx reference crossing resolve_server_name / UpgradedDuplex__sni_resolve / NewSocketHandler::sni_resolve — SSL_set_SSL_CTX takes its own reference, the +1 drops at scope end on the stream engine, and the Connecting/Detached/Pipe arms free it, so the count balances on every path. A second resumeSNI or an answer after the wrapper closed is gated on ServerName::Asked and closed_notified, and ServerNameAnswer::from_js preserves the old decode_sni_result branch order (pending, error, nullish, SecureContext, else refused).

Extended reasoning...

The change wires BoringSSL's select-certificate retry into the stream-engine SSLWrapper so SNICallback/addContext apply to TLS over a Duplex, touching openssl.c, uws/lib.rs, Listener.rs, socket_body.rs, UpgradedDuplex.rs and net.ts, with 770 lines of new tests. It is TLS/crypto-adjacent native code with unsafe FFI and user-JS re-entrancy, so a human look remains warranted on top of the inline findings.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

A second branch fixed the same bug at the same layer: robobun/3262c403/sslwrapper-sni-resolver. This pull is the carrier, so that branch does not become a pull request. Its diff in one line: the same us_select_cert_cb arm and parked SSLWrapper handshake, plus the named-pipe listener arm, and no drop of the bytes that arrive before the answer.

What the branch has that this pull does not:

  • Named-pipe listener (thread on WindowsNamedPipe.rs:389). WindowsNamedPipe::wrapper_handlers passes on_server_name for a server pipe whose socket handlers have serverName. WindowsNamedPipeContext::on_server_name asks. WindowsNamedPipe::sni_resolve answers under keep_alive(). NewSocketHandler::sni_resolve has a Pipe arm for resumeSNI(). node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts has an it.if(isWindows) test. The arm compiles for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc. It never ran.
  • Early data (thread on lib.rs:1156). The branch keeps the bytes that arrive while the answer is pending. Run: openssl s_client -tls1_3 -sess_in <session> -early_data <file> against a server with an asynchronous SNICallback. Over a Duplex, node v26.3.0 and the branch complete the handshake with the selected certificate. Through listen(), main a407eae resets that client (tlsClientError ECONNRESET), and node completes the handshake. The cost: nothing bounds that queue until the answer comes, as in node. A pause of the wrapped stream while the answer is pending bounds it.
  • us_select_cert_cb for a us_socket_t. On the branch, with the wrapper arm inline, a call for a listening server executes 148 instructions of that function in a release build (main: 144, counted with gdb nexti). With the arm in a noinline function the count is 145.

Counts on release builds, main a407eae against the branch (gdb breakpoint hits over 200 handshakes on a duplexPair()):

  • A SecureContext that no armed wrap used: 0 calls of us_select_cert_cb.
  • After one armed wrap on a SecureContext: 1 call of us_select_cert_cb and 1 call of us_ssl_wrapper_select_cert for each later ClientHello on that context.
  • SSL_do_handshake calls per connection, both ends in the process: 4 with no SNICallback (equal to main), 5 with one.

Two findings that apply to this pull too:

  • this.destroy() and then a turn of the event loop inside SNICallback over a Duplex is an ASAN heap-use-after-free on the branch (expect(promise).resolves makes that turn). The same fault shows with no SNICallback, inside ALPNCallback and inside a 'keylog' listener, on paths that the branch does not change. Nothing keeps DuplexUpgradeContext alive across a callback. WindowsNamedPipe has keep_alive() for this (net: keep a Windows named-pipe socket alive while its read callbacks run #39983).
  • Thread on net.ts:1114: on main a407eae through listen(), setImmediate(cb, null, { context: {} }) completes the handshake with the default certificate. The synchronous form refuses the client. Node v26.3.0 refuses both with TypeError: Invalid SNI context.

For the http2 wrap ("Still open"): the branch had the deletion too, and it cut the same allowHTTP1 response at 2,572,288 of 8,388,608 bytes, so it is reverted there. For an accepted net.Socket, the tls.Server listener costs what a listening Http2SecureServer costs: send() calls per MiB go from 69.9 to 103.8, and nextTick calls per connection from 148 to 113.

…o what it skips

- While the stream engine waits for the server name, it keeps up to 16384
  bytes from the peer (kMaxEarlyDataSkipped) and drops the connection beyond
  that. A TLS 1.3 client that sends early data with a ticket of another
  server gets a full handshake, as in node.
- node:net: a wrapper whose context is no SecureContext follows the rule of
  its inner value (an object is an invalid SNI context, any other value keeps
  the default context).
- The SNICallback fixture gives each case its own server. A SAFETY comment
  moves onto its unsafe block.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the answer path in src/uws/lib.rs resolve_server_name: a destroyed engine (ssl None / closed_notified), a second or late answer (state not Asked), and the Err arm all return before touching the SSL, and the OwnedSslCtx moved into answer is dropped by Rust on each of those early returns, so the +1 from resumeSNI is not leaked there. Every Handlers constructor (ProxyTunnel, WebSocketProxyTunnel, WindowsNamedPipe, UpgradedDuplex) sets the new on_server_name field.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds an SNI select-certificate step to the stream TLS engine across openssl.c, the uws SSL wrapper, Listener/socket_body/UpgradedDuplex and net.ts, which is TLS certificate-selection code. One confirmed finding is posted inline; this note only records the reentrancy and ownership paths examined independently and found handled.

Comment thread src/uws/lib.rs Resolved
…NI host name

TLSSocket::on_open set the name on every SSL. On a server SSL that name
shadows the ClientHello's in SSL_get_servername, so the stream engine asked
the SNICallback for the configured name, and socket.servername reported it
on both engines. Node reads the option in tls.connect() only.

On the additional finding (a user SNICallback that selects nothing, on a server that also has addContext() entries):

It is a real difference from Node on the listen() door. A server with both, whose callback answers cb(null, undefined) for the name of an entry, serves the default certificate on Node v26.3.0. Bun 1.4.3 and main serve the certificate of the entry, for a synchronous and for an asynchronous answer.

It does not come from this pull. The fallback to the static tree is in us_select_cert_cb since #31155. Main already gives two answers: emit("connection", netSocket) follows Node (tls.ts: SNICallback: this._SNICallback ?? (contexts.size ? SNICallback : undefined)), and listen() falls back to the tree. This pull puts the stream engine on the side that follows Node.

A change on the listen() door changes behavior for a server that relies on the fallback. So it is not in this pull. It is reported separately, with the probe and with the test row that has to pass on the listen door ("nothing: the default context, not an addContext() entry").

Keep DuplexUpgradeContext alive across SNI resolution.

Listener::ask_server_name calls user JavaScript synchronously. DuplexUpgradeContext::on_server_name holds only a non-owning ThisPtr. If SNICallback destroys the duplex and re-enters the event loop, the queued deinit can free the context before this.upgrade.resolve_server_name(...) runs. Keep the context alive through both the callback and the resolution, or defer deinitialization while this callback is active. UpgradedDuplex::resolve_server_name cannot protect the preceding access to this.upgrade.

On the finding "Keep DuplexUpgradeContext alive across SNI resolution":

The scenario is real, and it is not specific to this callback. A callback of the stream engine destroys its socket and then runs the event loop before it returns. expect(promise).resolves of bun:test does that: it waits inside the call. The queued free of DuplexUpgradeContext then runs under the frames of the engine.

The same script crashes in code that this pull does not touch. On a debug ASAN build it reports a heap-use-after-free in SSLWrapper::dispatch_read after a 'data' listener, and in UpgradedDuplex::on_handshake after a 'secureConnection' listener. on_server_name is one more callback of that kind.

A keep-alive in this one callback does not remove the problem. The engine reads its own state directly after each callback returns (update_handshake_state, handle_reading). The free has to wait until no frame of the engine is on the stack, in one place, as SSLWrapper already does for SSL_free. That is reported separately with the repro. This pull does not change it.

I reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; the points raised in earlier passes (early-data handling, consumeSNIResult, the server-side servername option, the limit boundary test) each have a commit on this branch. Because this adds a new suspend/resume step to the TLS handshake on the stream engine, with an SSL_CTX reference crossing FFI, a human look at the handshake path is still worthwhile before merge.

What was reviewed:

  • 7f51049a only changes the two boundary tests: record(16384 - 5) queues exactly 16384 bytes (kept, > MAX_EARLY_DATA_SKIPPED is false) and record(16385 - 5) queues 16385 (dropped), which matches the guard at src/uws/lib.rs:1156.
  • Synchronous SNICallback answers re-enter handle_traffic from inside update_handshake_state; the existing Traffic::RerunRequested guard defers that to the outer pass, and the loosened debug_assert lists exactly those two states.
  • The +1 SSL_CTX reference from handle.resumeSNI is consumed once on every arm of NewSocketHandler::sni_resolve (taken by OwnedSslCtx::from_raw for UpgradedDuplex, freed for Pipe/Connecting/Detached); an answer that arrives after close or without a pending ask is dropped in resolve_server_name and the OwnedSslCtx drop releases it.
Extended reasoning...

The branch adds SNI/SNICallback support to the SSLWrapper stream TLS engine: a select-certificate suspend in openssl.c, a ServerName state machine and SSL_ERROR_PENDING_CERTIFICATE handling in src/uws/lib.rs, a ServerNameAnswer refactor in Listener.rs, duplex-upgrade wiring in socket_body.rs and UpgradedDuplex.rs, a consumeSNIResult rewrite in net.ts, and about 900 lines of tests. It touches a security-sensitive surface: server certificate and CA selection per peer-supplied server name, SSL_CTX switching mid-handshake, and a drop policy for bytes that arrive while the handshake is suspended. The only commit since the previous review is a test-only change that addresses the last nit, and the bug hunt ran dry with no findings. The size and the TLS handshake surface, not any open objection, are what decide defer over approve.

A third branch fixed the same bug at the same layer: robobun/cf04c585/sni-callback-stream-engine. This pull is the carrier, so that branch does not become a pull request. Its diff in one line: the same us_select_cert_cb arm for an SSL of SSLWrapper, with the serverName handler called inside the BoringSSL callback, plus tests.

Do not take the engine of that branch. It keeps the pause only in a state byte of its own. When an SNICallback calls this.setKeyCert(other) and refuses later, the handshake completes and the connection carries data. This pull resets that connection, like node v26.3.0. I ran the same probe on a debug ASAN build of 7f51049, on that branch, and on node.

What the branch has that this pull can use is tests. On the build of 7f51049, all of them pass:

  • test/js/node/tls/node-tls-context.test.ts, block "SNICallback on a server-side socket" (lines 868 to 1145 on the branch): 12 of 12 pass. Four transports (a socket, a Duplex, a socket with unflushed writes, a TLSSocket), each through new TLSSocket(x, { isServer: true }) and through server.emit("connection", x), with 12 answers each. The expected values are what node v26.3.0 prints for the same script.
  • Rows of that matrix with no counterpart in this pull: the native context as the answer with a certificate that differs from the default one, a bare truthy primitive as the answer (cb(null, 1)), a user SNICallback over TLS in TLS, and the answers through new TLSSocket() over a socket with unflushed writes and over a TLSSocket.
  • Three more tests with no counterpart: the server writes 0 bytes before the answer and 0 bytes after a late error (TLS 1.2 and 1.3), two handshakes that wait at once get their own answers, and no SSL_CTX stays alive after an answer that comes at once, later, after the callback destroyed the socket, and after the socket is gone.
  • test/js/node/tls/node-tls-namedpipes.test.ts, block "an SNICallback over a named pipe": six Windows tests for a pipe listener and for new TLSSocket(pipeSocket, { isServer: true }). They never ran. They need the named pipe arm that is still open here.

…e test that waits for no time

From the tests of the branch robobun/cf04c585/sni-callback-stream-engine:
the native context, a number, nothing on a later turn and a throw as the
answer, a user SNICallback over TLS in TLS, no bytes from the server before
the answer and after a refusal, two handshakes that wait at once, and the
count of SecureContexts after the sockets are gone.

The handshakeTimeout test raised the deadline with a 100 ms timer, which a
loaded machine can reach before the ClientHello. It now raises the deadline
from inside the callback.

…al on close too

On a release build the sockets of a finished connection over duplexPair()
stay reachable for some turns of the event loop, with and without an
SNICallback, so the contexts they share were still counted. The test now
holds those two contexts itself and counts the answers.

The fd engine half that this pull calls "reported separately" is #46073. It keeps what a client sends behind its ClientHello while the SNICallback is pending, for listen() and for emit("connection", netSocket).

Two things to bring together when the second of the two pulls lands:

  • The bound. tls: keep what a client sends behind its ClientHello while an SNICallback is pending #46073 keeps 6 + 16384 bytes: BoringSSL discards the ChangeCipherSpec before it counts the 16384 bytes of early data that it skips. With openssl s_client -early_data, 16362 bytes of early data (16384 bytes of record behind the ChangeCipherSpec) complete the handshake with a synchronous SNICallback, and a bound of 16384 kept bytes drops that flight. MAX_EARLY_DATA_SKIPPED here is 16384.
  • The tests. Both pulls add a suspended-server harness, a record() helper and the same recorded flight to node-tls-server.test.ts. They merge with no conflict, which leaves two copies. One door matrix can hold all five doors.

### Problem

- `setKeyCert(ctx)` in an `ALPNCallback` does not change the served certificate. On TLS 1.2 a session of one ALPN protocol resumes under another, with `authorized: true` for a client that only the other context trusts.
- Cause: BoringSSL runs the ALPN selection callback (`select_alpn_callback`, `socket_body.rs`) after it picked the certificate and, on TLS 1.2, the session (`handshake_server.cc:781`, `:803`, `:881`).

### Fix

- usockets copies the ClientHello's ALPN list and hands it over from BoringSSL's certificate callback, before those picks. `ALPNCallback` runs there.
- A server-side `setKeyCert()` uses the SNI switch, `us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx`. That switch does nothing once BoringSSL has begun to pick.
- Verified: `node-tls-context.test.ts` (77 new tests, 57 fail on main), Node's `test-tls-server-setkeycert.js` (added, fails on main).
- Self-reviewed: 35 concerns raised, 28 addressed. The notes list the rest.

### Background

- Session id context: bytes BoringSSL copies into each new session. A session resumes only under the same id (#42998).
- Certificate callback (`SSL_set_cert_cb`): runs once per server handshake, after version and SNI, before cipher, certificate and session.
- Considered recomputing the verdict after a late switch: a second verdict path, wrong certificate still served. Considered Node's in-place identity: it copies BoringSSL's credential and chain logic.

### Downsides

- `setKeyCert(ctx)` in `ALPNCallback` now applies the `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of `ctx`, as SNI contexts already do. Node keeps the server's.
- On TLS 1.2, `getCipher()`, `getSession()`, `isSessionReused()` and `getPeerCertificate()` report nothing inside `ALPNCallback`. On TLS 1.3 `setKeyCert()` beats an `SNICallback` context. Node does the reverse.
- One allocation per handshake on `ALPNCallback` servers, about 10 branches on SNI servers. Release text: -544 bytes.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Outcome table.** The default context trusts ca1 and serves agent2. ALPN `b` selects a context that trusts ca2 and serves agent3. TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 give the same result with this PR.

| connection | main | this PR |
|---|---|---|
| full handshake, ALPN `b` | serves agent2 | serves agent3 |
| TLS 1.2, ca1 client, session of `a` offered with `b` | resumed, `authorized: true` | full handshake, `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE` |
| TLS 1.2, ca2 client, session of `b` offered with `a` | resumed, `authorized: true` | full handshake, `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE` |
| a session offered with its own protocol | resumed | resumed |
| ca2 client, `setImmediate(() => this.setKeyCert(ctxB))` in `ALPNCallback` | `authorized: true`, and the session resumes under the default context with `authorized: true` | `authorized: false` on both connections |
| `setKeyCert()` before the ClientHello (in a `'connection'` listener) | `SNICallback` and ALPN are dropped | both run |
| `setKeyCert()` in the `SNICallback` of a server-side `TLSSocket` | ALPN is dropped | ALPN is negotiated |

**Decisions that need a maintainer.**

1. Ciphers and signature algorithms. A context switch in Bun is `SSL_set_SSL_CTX`, so the `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of the selected context apply. That is already so for `SNICallback` and `addContext()` on main. With this PR it is also so for `setKeyCert()` in `ALPNCallback`, because the switch now comes before BoringSSL picks the cipher. Node applies the identity and the CA store only, and keeps the server's `ciphers` and `sigalgs` on all routes. Probe (server `ciphers: "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384"`, TLS 1.2 client that offers only `ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256`, `setKeyCert({ key, cert })` in `ALPNCallback`): this PR connects with the AES128 suite, Node v26.3.0 and main answer `ERR_SSL_NO_SHARED_CIPHER`. A context that repeats the server's `ciphers` keeps the refusal. The test `setKeyCert() in ALPNCallback applies the ciphers of the selected context` pins this. I did not carry the server's settings across the switch: BoringSSL has no getter for the signing preferences, so it needs the configured strings kept beside each `SSL_CTX`, and it changes the `SNICallback` and `addContext()` routes of main too.
2. TLS 1.3 order. Bun runs `SNICallback` before `ALPNCallback` on both versions. Node runs `ALPNCallback` first on TLS 1.3, because OpenSSL negotiates ALPN before its certificate callback there. So when an `SNICallback` answers a context and `ALPNCallback` calls `setKeyCert()`, Node v26.3.0 serves the `setKeyCert()` context on TLS 1.2 and the `SNICallback` context on TLS 1.3. This PR serves the `setKeyCert()` context on both.
3. A late `setKeyCert()` on a server is a silent no-op. Node does not throw there either.

**Why the certificate callback and not the select-certificate callback.** The select-certificate callback runs before BoringSSL negotiates the version, so `this.getProtocol()` inside `ALPNCallback` would report `TLSv1.2` for a TLS 1.3 handshake. It also runs before the server name callback that applies `addContext()` entries, which would then replace the context that `ALPNCallback` selected. The certificate callback runs after both. `SSL_set_SSL_CTX` drops it, so `us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx` arms it again while a list waits.

**What `ALPNCallback` sees.** Values inside the callback, on the second of two connections of one client (the second resumes):

| | main, TLS 1.2 | this PR, TLS 1.2 | Node v26.3.0, TLS 1.2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `getCipher()` | the suite | no suite | the suite |
| `isSessionReused()` | `true` | `false` | `true` |
| `getSession()` | a Buffer | `undefined` | a Buffer |
| `getPeerCertificate()` | the peer | `{}` | the peer |

On a full TLS 1.2 handshake main reports the suite and a session there, and Node reports neither, like this PR. TLS 1.3 is as on main. `ALPNCallback` also runs for a ClientHello that then fails for lack of a shared cipher (TLS 1.2) or signature algorithm (TLS 1.3). Node runs it after those checks on TLS 1.2.

**The ALPN list.** `us_select_cert_alpn` checks the extension with the same CBS calls as `ssl_negotiate_alpn` and keeps the measured length with the copy. A list that BoringSSL is going to reject is not handed over. The copy lives in its own `SSL` ex_data slot, so `us_ssl_rare_t` stays at 64 bytes.

**Sizes.** `sizeof(struct us_ssl_rare_t)`: 64 before, 64 after (gdb, debug build). `NewSocket<true>`: 504 bytes before and after (gdb, debug build. The new `alpn_refused` flag sits in padding). Release build, linux-x64, LTO, `size build/release-size/bun`: text 107068349 before, 107067805 after. data and bss are the same. The file is 107243232 bytes in both.

**Cost per handshake.** Counted from the code. A server with an `ALPNCallback`: one `malloc` and one `free` for the list copy, and one ex_data slot. A server with an SNI resolver and no `ALPNCallback`: 4 branches in `us_select_cert_cb` to read the per-connection flag, and for each context switch 4 branches in `us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx` plus the null checks inside `SSL_in_init` and `SSL_get_pending_cipher`. No allocation, no system call. A server with neither runs no new code.

**Not consolidated.** The two callbacks that BoringSSL reads off the current `SSL_CTX` are still installed where a connection asks for them (`us_ssl_on_alpn_offer`, `us_ssl_set_server_ctx`, `install_sni_alpn_selector`). One install where the `SSL_CTX` is built would remove those sites. It would also run both callbacks on every server handshake, Bun.serve included, because Bun.serve registers its own resolver on contexts from the same builder.

**Relation to other work.** #44618 listed this PR as open for a decision. #45471 (server name on the stream TLS engine) rewrites the same arm of `us_select_cert_cb`, and the two conflict in `openssl.c`. This one is the smaller change. Whichever lands second has to keep the ALPN stage behind the name resolution of the stream engine.

**Not covered.**
- `https.createServer({ ALPNCallback })` does not reach this code: `https.ts` stores the option and nothing reads it.
- `setKeyCert()` in the same tick as `new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true })` is dropped, because the native handle does not exist yet. The tests wait one `setImmediate`.
- On a `listen()` server Bun calls `SNICallback` with the `tls.Server` as `this`, so `this.setKeyCert()` there throws. The tests use the `SNICallback` of a server-side `TLSSocket`.
- The `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of a server do not survive a context switch on any route (decision 1).

**Self-review, rejected concerns.**
- One install of the callbacks at context build (3 concerns): see "Not consolidated".
- Apply the identity, the CA store and the session id context to the `SSL` in place, as Node does (1 concern): BoringSSL has no getter for the credential list of a context, and it completes a lone leaf from the store of the current `SSL_CTX`. Both need a copy of its logic.
- Fold in the same-tick drop, the `SNICallback` receiver and `https.Server` (3 concerns): other mechanisms. They are listed above.

**Removed.** `set_key_cert` called `SSL_use_certificate`, `SSL_use_PrivateKey` and `SSL_set1_chain` after `SSL_set_SSL_CTX`. It had no effect: `SSL_set_SSL_CTX` already installs the certificate of the context when it runs in time, and nothing helps when it does not.

**Tests that also pass on main (20 of the 77).** They cover code that this PR adds: the 11 raw ClientHello rows of `ALPNCallback` (valid, boundary and malformed ALPN lists), the refusal alert after `setKeyCert()` (4), a handshake with no shared protocol version (2), and three TLS 1.3 rows where main was already correct (`keeps a refused client out of the handler` on two transports, `runs before the cipher and the session are picked`).

**Suites run on the debug build.** `node-tls-context.test.ts` (160 pass), `node-tls-server.test.ts` (217 of 218. `reports the reset that arrives while the socket is paused` fails in some runs of the whole file, also with the `src/` of main: 1 of 4 runs there), `node-tls-connect.test.ts` (4 failures, all need `bun.sh:443`), `node-tls-upgrade.test.ts`, `node-tls-cert.test.ts`, `node-tls-internals.test.ts`, `renegotiation.test.ts`, `test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts` (2 failures that need `www.example.com`), `tls-fatal-error-closes.test.ts`, `tls-reject-before-client-cert.test.ts`, `bun-serve-ssl.test.ts`, `serve-http2.test.ts`, `serve-http2-protocol.test.ts`, `node-http2.test.js`.

=====STATUS=====
**Status**

Reproduction (fixtures in `test/js/node/tls/fixtures`): a `tls.Server` whose default context trusts ca1 and serves agent2, with an `ALPNCallback` that calls `this.setKeyCert(ctxB)` for protocol `b`. `ctxB` trusts ca2 and serves agent3.

1. Connect with ALPN `b`. On main the client gets agent2. With this PR it gets agent3.
2. On TLS 1.2, connect with the agent3 client certificate (issued by ca2) and ALPN `b`. Then offer that session with ALPN `a`. On main the handler sees `resumed: true, authorized: true` under the default context, which does not trust ca2. With this PR it is a full handshake with `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE`.
3. Call `setKeyCert(ctxB)` from a `setImmediate` inside `ALPNCallback`. On main the handler sees `authorized: true` on TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, and the session resumes under the default context. With this PR the call changes nothing.

Tests: `bun bd test test/js/node/tls/node-tls-context.test.ts` (77 new tests, 57 fail with the `src/` and `packages/` of main), and `bun bd test/js/node/test/parallel/test-tls-server-setkeycert.js`.

| `setKeyCert()` in the `SNICallback` of a server-side `TLSSocket` | ALPN is dropped | ALPN is negotiated |

**Decisions that need a maintainer.**

1. Ciphers and signature algorithms. A context switch in Bun is `SSL_set_SSL_CTX`, so the `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of the selected context apply. That is already so for `SNICallback` and `addContext()` on main. With this PR it is also so for `setKeyCert()` in `ALPNCallback`, because the switch now comes before BoringSSL picks the cipher. Node applies the identity and the CA store only, and keeps the server's `ciphers` and `sigalgs` on all routes. Probe (server `ciphers: "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384"`, TLS 1.2 client that offers only `ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256`, `setKeyCert({ key, cert })` in `ALPNCallback`): this PR connects with the AES128 suite, Node v26.3.0 and main answer `ERR_SSL_NO_SHARED_CIPHER`. A context that repeats the server's `ciphers` keeps the refusal. The test `setKeyCert() in ALPNCallback applies the ciphers of the selected context` pins this. I did not carry the server's settings across the switch: BoringSSL has no getter for the signing preferences, so it needs the configured strings kept beside each `SSL_CTX`, and it changes the `SNICallback` and `addContext()` routes of main too.
2. TLS 1.3 order. Bun runs `SNICallback` before `ALPNCallback` on both versions. Node runs `ALPNCallback` first on TLS 1.3, because OpenSSL negotiates ALPN before its certificate callback there. So when an `SNICallback` answers a context and `ALPNCallback` calls `setKeyCert()`, Node v26.3.0 serves the `setKeyCert()` context on TLS 1.2 and the `SNICallback` context on TLS 1.3. This PR serves the `setKeyCert()` context on both.
3. A late `setKeyCert()` on a server is a silent no-op. Node does not throw there either.

**Why the certificate callback and not the select-certificate callback.** The select-certificate callback runs before BoringSSL negotiates the version, so `this.getProtocol()` inside `ALPNCallback` would report `TLSv1.2` for a TLS 1.3 handshake. It also runs before the server name callback that applies `addContext()` entries, which would then replace the context that `ALPNCallback` selected. The certificate callback runs after both. `SSL_set_SSL_CTX` drops it, so `us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx` arms it again while a list waits.

**What `ALPNCallback` sees.** Values inside the callback, on the second of two connections of one client (the second resumes):

| | main, TLS 1.2 | this PR, TLS 1.2 | Node v26.3.0, TLS 1.2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `getCipher()` | the suite | no suite | the suite |
| `isSessionReused()` | `true` | `false` | `true` |
| `getSession()` | a Buffer | `undefined` | a Buffer |
| `getPeerCertificate()` | the peer | `{}` | the peer |

On a full TLS 1.2 handshake main reports the suite and a session there, and Node reports neither, like this PR. TLS 1.3 is as on main. `ALPNCallback` also runs for a ClientHello that then fails for lack of a shared cipher (TLS 1.2) or signature algorithm (TLS 1.3). Node runs it after those checks on TLS 1.2.

**The ALPN list.** `us_select_cert_alpn` checks the extension with the same CBS calls as `ssl_negotiate_alpn` and keeps the measured length with the copy. A list that BoringSSL is going to reject is not handed over. The copy lives in its own `SSL` ex_data slot, so `us_ssl_rare_t` stays at 64 bytes.

**Sizes.** `sizeof(struct us_ssl_rare_t)`: 64 before, 64 after (gdb, debug build). `NewSocket<true>`: 504 bytes before and after (gdb, debug build. The new `alpn_refused` flag sits in padding). Release build, linux-x64, LTO, `size build/release-size/bun`: text 107068349 before, 107067805 after. data and bss are the same. The file is 107243232 bytes in both.

**Cost per handshake.** Counted from the code. A server with an `ALPNCallback`: one `malloc` and one `free` for the list copy, and one ex_data slot. A server with an SNI resolver and no `ALPNCallback`: 4 branches in `us_select_cert_cb` to read the per-connection flag, and for each context switch 4 branches in `us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx` plus the null checks inside `SSL_in_init` and `SSL_get_pending_cipher`. No allocation, no system call. A server with neither runs no new code.

**Not consolidated.** The two callbacks that BoringSSL reads off the current `SSL_CTX` are still installed where a connection asks for them (`us_ssl_on_alpn_offer`, `us_ssl_set_server_ctx`, `install_sni_alpn_selector`). One install where the `SSL_CTX` is built would remove those sites. It would also run both callbacks on every server handshake, Bun.serve included, because Bun.serve registers its own resolver on contexts from the same builder.

**Relation to other work.** #44618 listed this PR as open for a decision. #45471 (server name on the stream TLS engine) rewrites the same arm of `us_select_cert_cb`, and the two conflict in `openssl.c`. This one is the smaller change. Whichever lands second has to keep the ALPN stage behind the name resolution of the stream engine.

**Not covered.**
- `https.createServer({ ALPNCallback })` does not reach this code: `https.ts` stores the option and nothing reads it.
- `setKeyCert()` in the same tick as `new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true })` is dropped, because the native handle does not exist yet. The tests wait one `setImmediate`.
- On a `listen()` server Bun calls `SNICallback` with the `tls.Server` as `this`, so `this.setKeyCert()` there throws. The tests use the `SNICallback` of a server-side `TLSSocket`.
- The `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of a server do not survive a context switch on any route (decision 1).

**Self-review, rejected concerns.**
- One install of the callbacks at context build (3 concerns): see "Not consolidated".
- Apply the identity, the CA store and the session id context to the `SSL` in place, as Node does (1 concern): BoringSSL has no getter for the credential list of a context, and it completes a lone leaf from the store of the current `SSL_CTX`. Both need a copy of its logic.
- Fold in the same-tick drop, the `SNICallback` receiver and `https.Server` (3 concerns): other mechanisms. They are listed above.

**Removed.** `set_key_cert` called `SSL_use_certificate`, `SSL_use_PrivateKey` and `SSL_set1_chain` after `SSL_set_SSL_CTX`. It had no effect: `SSL_set_SSL_CTX` already installs the certificate of the context when it runs in time, and nothing helps when it does not.

**Tests that also pass on main (20 of the 77).** They cover code that this PR adds: the 11 raw ClientHello rows of `ALPNCallback` (valid, boundary and malformed ALPN lists), the refusal alert after `setKeyCert()` (4), a handshake with no shared protocol version (2), and three TLS 1.3 rows where main was already correct (`keeps a refused client out of the handler` on two transports, `runs before the cipher and the session are picked`).

**Suites run on the debug build.** `node-tls-context.test.ts` (160 pass), `node-tls-server.test.ts` (217 of 218. `reports the reset that arrives while the socket is paused` fails in some runs of the whole file, also with the `src/` of main: 1 of 4 runs there), `node-tls-connect.test.ts` (4 failures, all need `bun.sh:443`), `node-tls-upgrade.test.ts`, `node-tls-cert.test.ts`, `node-tls-internals.test.ts`, `renegotiation.test.ts`, `test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts` (2 failures that need `www.example.com`), `tls-fatal-error-closes.test.ts`, `tls-reject-before-client-cert.test.ts`, `bun-serve-ssl.test.ts`, `serve-http2.test.ts`, `serve-http2-protocol.test.ts`, `node-http2.test.js`.

=====STATUS=====
**Status**

Reproduction (fixtures in `test/js/node/tls/fixtures`): a `tls.Server` whose default context trusts ca1 and serves agent2, with an `ALPNCallback` that calls `this.setKeyCert(ctxB)` for protocol `b`. `ctxB` trusts ca2 and serves agent3.

1. Connect with ALPN `b`. On main the client gets agent2. With this PR it gets agent3.
2. On TLS 1.2, connect with the agent3 client certificate (issued by ca2) and ALPN `b`. Then offer that session with ALPN `a`. On main the handler sees `resumed: true, authorized: true` under the default context, which does not trust ca2. With this PR it is a full handshake with `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE`.
3. Call `setKeyCert(ctxB)` from a `setImmediate` inside `ALPNCallback`. On main the handler sees `authorized: true` on TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, and the session resumes under the default context. With this PR the call changes nothing.

Tests: `bun bd test test/js/node/tls/node-tls-context.test.ts` (77 new tests, 57 fail with the `src/` and `packages/` of main), and `bun bd test/js/node/test/parallel/test-tls-server-setkeycert.js`.

PR: #43216

### Problem

- `setKeyCert(ctx)` in an `ALPNCallback` does not change the served certificate. On TLS 1.2 a session of one ALPN protocol resumes under another, with `authorized: true` for a client that only the other context trusts.
- Cause: BoringSSL runs the ALPN selection callback (`select_alpn_callback`, `socket_body.rs`) after it picked the certificate and, on TLS 1.2, the session (`handshake_server.cc:781`, `:803`, `:881`).

### Fix

- usockets copies the ClientHello's ALPN list and hands it over from BoringSSL's certificate callback, before those picks. `ALPNCallback` runs there.
- A server-side `setKeyCert()` uses the SNI switch, `us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx`. That switch does nothing once BoringSSL has begun to pick.
- Verified: `node-tls-context.test.ts` (77 new tests, 57 fail on main), Node's `test-tls-server-setkeycert.js` (added, fails on main).
- Self-reviewed: 37 concerns raised, 30 addressed. The notes list the rest.

### Background

- Session id context: bytes BoringSSL copies into each new session. A session resumes only under the same id (#42998).
- Certificate callback (`SSL_set_cert_cb`): runs once per server handshake, after version and SNI, before cipher, certificate and session.
- Considered recomputing the verdict after a late switch: a second verdict path, wrong certificate still served. Considered Node's in-place identity: it copies BoringSSL's credential and chain logic.

### Downsides

- `setKeyCert(ctx)` in `ALPNCallback` now applies the `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of `ctx`, as SNI contexts already do. Node keeps the server's.
- On TLS 1.2, `getCipher()`, `getSession()`, `isSessionReused()` and `getPeerCertificate()` report nothing inside `ALPNCallback`. On TLS 1.3 `setKeyCert()` beats an `SNICallback` context. Node does the reverse.
- One allocation per handshake on `ALPNCallback` servers, about 10 branches on SNI servers. Release text: -544 bytes.

**Outcome table.** The default context trusts ca1 and serves agent2. ALPN `b` selects a context that trusts ca2 and serves agent3. TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 give the same result with this PR.

| connection | main | this PR |
|---|---|---|
| full handshake, ALPN `b` | serves agent2 | serves agent3 |
| TLS 1.2, ca1 client, session of `a` offered with `b` | resumed, `authorized: true` | full handshake, `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE` |
| TLS 1.2, ca2 client, session of `b` offered with `a` | resumed, `authorized: true` | full handshake, `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE` |
| a session offered with its own protocol | resumed | resumed |
| ca2 client, `setImmediate(() => this.setKeyCert(ctxB))` in `ALPNCallback` | `authorized: true`, and the session resumes under the default context with `authorized: true` | `authorized: false` on both connections |
| `setKeyCert()` before the ClientHello (in a `'connection'` listener) | `SNICallback` and ALPN are dropped | both run |

1. Ciphers and signature algorithms. A context switch in Bun is `SSL_set_SSL_CTX`, so the `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of the selected context apply. That is already so for `SNICallback` and `addContext()` on main. With this PR it is also so for `setKeyCert()` in `ALPNCallback`, because the switch now comes before BoringSSL picks the cipher. Node applies the identity and the CA store only, and keeps the server's `ciphers` and `sigalgs` on all routes.

So when an `SNICallback` answers a context and `ALPNCallback` calls `setKeyCert()`, Node v26.3.0 serves the `setKeyCert()` context on TLS 1.2 and the `SNICallback` context on TLS 1.3. This PR serves the `setKeyCert()` context on both.
3. A late `setKeyCert()` on a server is a silent no-op. Node does not throw there either. "Late" means after the certificate callback returned. A call that `ALPNCallback` defers with `process.nextTick` or a promise is still in time on an fd socket, because that queue drains before the callback returns, and the switch is then complete (certificate, verdict and session). Node serves the selected certificate for such a call too. On the stream engine the queue drains later and the call changes nothing.

**Why the certificate callback and not the select-certificate callback.** The select-certificate callback runs before BoringSSL negotiates the version, so `this.getProtocol()` inside `ALPNCallback` would report `TLSv1.2` for a TLS 1.3 handshake. It also runs before the server name callback that applies `addContext()` entries, which would then replace the context that `ALPNCallback` selected. The certificate callback runs after both. `SSL_set_SSL_CTX` drops it, so `us_ssl_apply_selected_ctx` arms it again while a list waits.

| `getSession()` | a Buffer | `undefined` | a Buffer |
| `getPeerCertificate()` | the peer | `{}` | the peer |

On a full TLS 1.2 handshake main reports the suite and a session there, and Node reports neither, like this PR.

- The `ciphers` and `sigalgs` of a server do not survive a context switch on any route (decision 1).

**Found on the way, same on main, not changed.** Both are in the code that this PR moves from `select_alpn_callback` to `us_dispatch_alpn_offer`.
- A Worker that is terminated inside `ALPNCallback` aborts the process: the termination exception reaches `to_utf8()` as the callback's answer.
- A protocol name with a byte above 0x7f that `ALPNCallback` selects is refused: `net.ts` decodes the names as latin1 and the answer is encoded as UTF-8.

**Self-review, rejected concerns.**
- One install of the callbacks at context build (3 concerns): see "Not consolidated".
- Apply the identity, the CA store and the session id context to the `SSL` in place, as Node does (1 concern): BoringSSL has no getter for the credential list of a context, and it completes a lone leaf from the store of the current `SSL_CTX`. Both need a copy of its logic.
- Fold in the same-tick drop, the `SNICallback` receiver and `https.Server` (3 concerns): other mechanisms. They are listed above.

A second pass over the reworked diff (the guard, the lifetime of the list copy, the parser, the new tests) found no defect in the product code and two in the tests. Both are fixed: the raw ClientHello rows now wait for the server's first record, and one test has the name of what it asserts.

**Removed.** `set_key_cert` called `SSL_use_certificate`, `SSL_use_PrivateKey` and `SSL_set1_chain` after `SSL_set_SSL_CTX`. It had no effect: `SSL_set_SSL_CTX` already installs the certificate of the context when it runs in time, and nothing helps when it does not.

#46335 changes the lifetime rule of DuplexUpgradeContext. Each UpgradedDuplex entry point holds a ref on the context while it runs, and a debug assertion in the handler trampolines fails when a handler is dispatched with no ref held. It covers the destroy-then-turn fault that this PR lists as still open.

This PR adds one entry point, UpgradedDuplex::resolve_server_name (the SNICallback answer in a later turn). Whichever of the two lands second needs these lines:

  • let _keep_alive = self.keep_alive(); as the first statement of UpgradedDuplex::resolve_server_name.
  • this.debug_assert_kept_alive(); as the first statement of DuplexUpgradeContext::on_server_name.

Without the first line, the handlers that the resumed handshake dispatches run with no ref held. The debug build then aborts on the assertion, and a socket that closes under that entry point is freed under the engine again.

…run (#46335)

### Problem
- A callback of a TLS socket over a stream turns the event loop
synchronously while the socket closes. Debug builds report
`AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free` in `us_ssl_wrapper_keylog` under
`SSL_do_handshake`, or in `SSLWrapper::flush_pending_events`. Release
builds end with `panic: RefCell already borrowed` or stay silent.
- `DuplexUpgradeContext::on_close` (`src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs`)
queued the task that frees the context at once. The nested turn ran it
under the TLS engine.
- Found by audit. No issue or crash report names it.

### Fix
- `DuplexUpgradeContext` is refcounted. The open connection holds one
ref, and each `UpgradedDuplex` entry point holds one while it runs. The
free task is queued at zero.
- No free task exists while an entry point runs. A debug assertion
checks that handlers run under a ref.
- Verified: `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-duplex-close-throw-uaf.test.ts`.
Ten cases abort on the base build and pass with the fix. Also twelve
TLS, http2 and module-graph suites (Notes).
- Self-reviewed: 12 concerns raised, 11 addressed. One exit has no test
(Notes).

### Background
- `DuplexUpgradeContext` owns `UpgradedDuplex`, which owns the TLS
engine (`SSLWrapper`) behind `tls.connect({socket})`.
- `expect(promise).resolves` and `Bun.build` with an async plugin
`setup()` run queued tasks while they wait.
- Considered a check in the free task. It parks the free and polls.
`WindowsNamedPipe` (#39983) holds a ref at its entry points.

### Downsides
- Duplex TLS pays 9 instructions per guarded entry. An echo measures
+0.11% instructions, and a control with no guard +0.06%.
- A transport error before the engine starts takes 2 queue entries, not
1.
- The binary grows by 8,192 bytes and one test-only host function.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

#### What turns the loop, and what closes the socket

- The wait is `EventLoop::wait_for_promise` (`src/jsc/event_loop.rs`).
It calls `tick()`, which runs the task queue. The fixture uses two
callers: a `bun:test` promise matcher in a plain script, and `Bun.build`
with an async plugin `setup()` (`src/runtime/api/JSBundler.rs`).
- The callback does not have to close the socket. Three of the ten cases
close it from elsewhere: a `destroy()` in a later turn (the callback is
the transport's `final()`), a transport that closes during the turn, and
a `Bun.ModuleGraph` that is disposed.
- #44618 covered an ALPNCallback that destroys its socket with no loop
turn (it kept the `SSL` until the pass ends). The owner was still freed
by the queued task.

#### The ten cases on the base build (debug, ASAN)

Each one ends in `heap-use-after-free`. The free is
`DuplexUpgradeContext::deinit` from `run_event`, or from `release_unrun`
for the disposed graph.

| Case | Top frames of the read |
|---|---|
| ALPNCallback | `us_ssl_wrapper_keylog` < `us_ssl_keylog_cb` <
`SSL_do_handshake` |
| server 'keylog' | `SSLWrapper::flush_pending_events` < `traffic_pass`
|
| client 'secureConnect' | `UpgradedDuplex::is_shutdown` <
`UpgradedDuplex::on_handshake` |
| server 'data' | `SSLWrapper::dispatch_read` < `handle_reading` |
| server 'data', turned by `Bun.build()` | `SSLWrapper::dispatch_read` <
`handle_reading` |
| client 'data' | `SSLWrapper::dispatch_read` < `handle_reading` |
| the transport's `write()` | `SSLWrapper::handle_writing` <
`write_data` |
| the transport's `final()`, `destroy()` in a later turn |
`UpgradedDuplex::finish_close` < `on_close` |
| server 'data', the transport closes during the turn |
`SSLWrapper::dispatch_read` < `handle_reading` |
| server 'data', its `Bun.ModuleGraph` is disposed |
`SSLWrapper::dispatch_read` < `handle_reading` |

Release build of the base, original repro (ALPNCallback destroys the
socket, then `expect().resolves`): `panic: RefCell already borrowed`, 5
of 5 runs. The 'keylog' variant printed OK 5 of 5 (silent). Sentry was
not queried.

#### How the tests decide

- The fixture counts live contexts through
`duplexTLSInternals.liveCount()`, so the tests do not need ASAN to fail.
- Each callback case has a third context that nothing holds. The turn
frees it. That shows that the turn ran the queued tasks: the report is
`{ before: 3, afterTurn: 2, afterClose: 0 }`. With no turn it is 3, and
with the fault it is 1.
- The turn is a promise that a microtask settles, so one `tick()` runs.
One case turns with `Bun.build()` instead, so the test does not depend
on the matcher alone.
- The fourth test ends a connection in seven ways and expects zero
contexts left. It does not abort on the base build. There it fails
because the counter does not exist.
- Each guard clause was removed once on the debug build (by a jump in
gdb) to confirm that a test notices:
- no `teardown()` in `release_unrun`: a string from the transport
reaches the disposed graph as `ERR_STREAM_WRAP`.
- no `abort_handle.leave()`: `DuplexUpgradeContext entered after its
last ref was released`.
- the count check in `release_unrun`: the graph case reaches it with a
count of 1, so an unconditional free trips the assertion in `deinit`.

#### Direction

- #33261 asks that nothing re-enters the event loop from a dispatch
callback. #32233 was closed for that reason: it made the dispatcher
tolerate re-entry. #33289 moves the `bun:test` matchers off the nested
wait.
- This change does not touch the dispatcher or the loop. It fixes a
memory fault at one owner, in the shape of `REVIEW.md` ("bracket entry
points that can reach synchronous teardown with ref()/defer deref()")
and of #39983.
- The trigger stays reachable after #33289: `Bun.build` still waits for
an async `setup()` (#33271 was closed without a merge).

#### Sequencing

- This lands first. Two open PRs add entry points to `UpgradedDuplex`
and need the guard after it:
- #45471: `UpgradedDuplex::resolve_server_name` (an SNICallback that
answers in a later turn) needs the `keep_alive()` guard as its first
statement, and `DuplexUpgradeContext::on_server_name` needs the
`debug_assert_kept_alive()` call. Without them the debug build aborts on
the assertion.
  - #43877: the `on_write_done` thunk needs the guard.
- #40139 rewrites the same lines and keeps the unconditional free in the
`Close` arm. A rebase must keep the rule: the `Close` hop is queued only
at zero.

#### Not in this change

- `WindowsNamedPipe`: #39983 guards `on_read`, `on_read_error`,
`on_error`, `on_handshake` and `get_accepted_by`. Seven entries that
dispatch have no guard: `on_writable`, `flush`, `on_timeout`,
`encode_and_write`, `raw_write`, `close`, `shutdown`. No fault is known
there: its transport is libuv and runs no script in write, end, pause or
resume. Read from the code, not run on Windows. Do not copy `keep_alive`
to those entries as is: there, a ref taken at zero queues the free
twice.
- `ProxyTunnel` (`src/http/ProxyTunnel.rs`) runs on the HTTP thread,
where no script runs.
- The start-failure exit of the `StartTLS` arm now releases the
connection's ref. It has no test. `node:tls` and `node:http2` pass a
prebuilt `SSL_CTX`, so the start fails only if `SSL_new` fails.

#### Measurements (linux x64, base 71bc818)

- Instructions: `perf` is not installed here. The counts are
`perf_event_open` (`PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS`, user only) around the
release binaries. One TLS echo over an in-process Duplex pair, 100,000
round trips of 1 KiB, `BUN_JSC_useJIT=0`, 10 interleaved runs each.
- base 32,160,640,513, this PR 32,197,252,048: +366 per round trip of
321,600 (+0.11%). Run-to-run spread: 0.09% to 0.13%.
- The same echo over loopback TCP (no guard on the path): base
20,199,900,220, this PR 20,211,412,604 (+0.06%). Spread: 0.07% to 0.11%.
- Disassembly of `UpgradedDuplex__flush`: 4 instructions at entry and 5
at exit. A round trip takes 4 guards (gdb count on the debug build).
- `sizeof(DuplexUpgradeContext)`: 568 B -> 568 B (gdb on the debug
builds). The two fields fit in padding.
- Queue entries per duplex TLS socket (gdb hit counts on `run_event`, 50
cycles): normal close 2 -> 2, `destroy()` before the engine starts 2 ->
2, transport error before the engine starts 1 -> 2.
- Live contexts: 2 of 3 inside the callback after the turn, 0 after
unwinding. 0 after 1,000 cycles of each of three orders on the release
build (4,000 sockets).
- Release binary (`llvm-size`): `.text` 81,904,741 -> 81,909,861
(+5,120), `.rodata` +4,096, file 107,497,184 -> 107,505,376 (+8,192).
Host functions: +1, testing only.

#### Suites (debug build, `--timeout 90000`)

Same results as the base build: `node-tls-duplex-end-verify` (115),
`node-tls-duplex-write-throw-error-value` (1),
`node-tls-wrapped-socket-close` (113), `node-tls-server` (218),
`node-tls-upgrade` (21), `node-http2-upgrade` (23), `renegotiation`
(58), `node-tls-context` (83), `tls-fatal-error-closes` (38),
`tls-reject-before-client-cert` (126), `module-graph-io` (28),
`module-graph-isolation` (413). `node-tls-connect` has the same 4
failures on both builds: those tests contact bun.sh, which this machine
cannot reach. `cargo clippy -p bun_runtime` and
`test/internal/source-lints/` are clean.
