What does this PR do?

Fixes 20 causes of flaky tests, found in the annotations of the last 400 CI builds. Only files under test/ change. No limit or deadline is raised, and no assertion is dropped except where the table says on which platform.

Each row was first its own PR. That PR has the CI sightings, the cause and the numbers in full.

test file what went wrong what changes write-up
cli/install/bun-install-streaming-extract.test.ts the line taken for the error could be one of the verbose extract log those lines are removed before the error: line is looked for #45842
cli/install/bun-install-streaming-extract.test.ts a body that is all there at the client's first read is not streamed, so Streamed is not printed the fixture is larger than one read of the client holds #45844
js/bun/shell/yield.test.ts Windows keeps the working directory of a killed process busy for a while (EBUSY on rm); the pid file exists before the pid is in it the pid file is named by its full path and nothing has the directory as its cwd; the waiter waits for the file's content #45846
internal/harness-max-rss.test.ts a busy macOS machine no longer keeps the runner's 256 MiB resident when they are read the two assertions on the runner's own RSS are for Linux, the one platform where a child inherits it #45847
js/web/fetch/body-clone.test.ts the FIFO case also wrote to a stdin that its child never reads (EPIPE) that case gets no stdin #45848
js/first_party/ws/ws-server-compat-close.test.ts the count of sends that were written assumed the loopback takes bytes at once it counts up to the last send that left nothing buffered #45849
js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdin-destroy.test.ts sleep(80) stood for "the child has exited" await child.exited #45850
regression/issue/29181.test.ts file descriptors are closed on the work pool, so some are still open right after the last response the count is polled until it is under the same limit, with a deadline #45852
js/web/fetch/fetch-keepalive.test.ts Windows Server 2019 delivers loopback bytes late while other loopback connections are busy, as macOS does the five TCP cases are left out on 10.0.17763 as they are on macOS #45853
js/bun/jsc/bun-jsc.test.ts one run of 10 ms gets no sample when the sampler thread gets no CPU profile() is repeated until it has a sample, with a deadline #45854
js/third_party/jsonwebtoken/async_sign.test.js two tokens signed on either side of a second differ in iat the payload has a fixed iat #45855
js/bun/test/parallel/test-http-should-emit-events-in-the-right-order.ts the fixture asked a host on the internet it asks a local server #45856
cli/run/transpiler-cache.test.ts a killed helper still had the temp directory as its cwd when the next test removed it (EBUSY, Windows) the helper is held with await using #45857
js/web/fetch/fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts expect(p).rejects in a socket callback runs a nested tick of the event loop, after which a concurrent test's proc.stdout.text() never settles the promise is awaited #45862
js/bun/gc/gc-controller-cadence.test.ts the wait ended at <= limit, the assertion wants < limit the wait goes on at >= limit, and the reading that ends it is the one asserted #45863
js/web/websocket/websocket-client.test.ts a limit of 1 s per test from 2023, now with a real closing handshake with a node process inside it the limit is removed, the runner's applies #45864
js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts in TLS 1.3 the server's handshake ends after the client's, and the test waited for the client's it waits for both #45866
js/node/tls/tls-shutdown-before-handshake-fixture.mjs the "refused" port was one connect() chose, which Linux can hand to the socket under test as its own: it connects to itself bind() chooses the port #45869
js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-io.test.ts on macOS fs.watch() returns before anything is watched, and the case wrote once it writes until the listener is called #45870
js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-io.test.ts the closed UDP port can be given to the socket under test, which then hears itself and is never refused the port stays bound until that socket exists #45871

How did you verify your code works?

Each change on its own, with release and ASAN binaries that CI built from main's code: the failure reproduced with main's file (under load, or with the losing order forced by a delayed loopback, a blocked thread, a stopped process or a narrow port range), the same conditions with the fix, and a negative test that shows the test still fails on what it guards. Linux x64 locally, Windows 11 x64 for the Windows rows. Some of the numbers:

main fix
yield.test.ts, Windows, 96 at a time 2878 of 4000 fail 0 of 4000
transpiler-cache.test.ts, Windows 99 of 120 0 of 120
bun-install-streaming-extract.test.ts (body size), Windows 326 of 6000 0 of 6000
29181.test.ts 143 of 280 0 of 280
bun-jsc.test.ts, contended CPU 111 of 200 0 of 200
node-tls-connect.test.ts, loopback delayed by 5 ms 3 of 3 in each round 0
tls-shutdown-before-handshake-fixture.mjs, 32 ports, node and Bun 12 of 100 each 0 of 100 each

All of it together, on Linux x64: every changed file passes, but for two tests that fail with main's files on my machine too ("a fifo in place of an entry is removed instead of opened" in transpiler-cache.test.ts, and "under node > a session that is set before the handshake starts is resumed" in node-tls-connect.test.ts, which runs under my node v26.7.0).

Not run on the platform they are for: the macOS rows (harness-max-rss, ws-server-compat-close, the fs.watch case), which rest on the CI failures, the source and an emulation on Linux. The Server 2019 numbers of fetch-keepalive are from a CI run.

Walkthrough

This pull request updates tests across install, runtime, networking, and web APIs. Changes adjust fixtures, polling, resource cleanup, platform-specific assertions, and timing conditions.

Changes

Test reliability adjustments

Layer / File(s) Summary
Install and cache test fixtures
test/cli/install/bun-install-streaming-extract.test.ts, test/cli/run/transpiler-cache.test.ts
The install test increases its tarball payload and changes error-line extraction. The cache test uses asynchronous disposal for the cache-remover subprocess.
Runtime measurement and polling
test/internal/harness-max-rss.test.ts, test/js/bun/gc/gc-controller-cadence.test.ts, test/js/bun/jsc/bun-jsc.test.ts, test/regression/issue/29181.test.ts
RSS and descriptor tests poll or reuse sampled values. The profiler test retries profile calls until traces appear or its deadline passes. Max-RSS assertions now run only on Linux.
Network and process test coordination
test/js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-io.test.ts, test/js/bun/shell/yield.test.ts, test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdin-destroy.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/parallel/test-http-should-emit-events-in-the-right-order.ts, test/js/node/http/fixtures/log-events.mjs, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts, test/js/node/tls/tls-shutdown-before-handshake-fixture.mjs
Tests coordinate socket lifetimes, server readiness, child-process state, and file updates. The HTTP fixture now receives a local server port.
Web API and compatibility tests
test/js/first_party/ws/ws-server-compat-close.test.ts, test/js/third_party/jsonwebtoken/async_sign.test.js, test/js/web/fetch/body-clone.test.ts, test/js/web/fetch/fetch-abort-stream-body.test.ts, test/js/web/fetch/fetch-keepalive.test.ts, test/js/web/websocket/websocket-client.test.ts
Tests adjust backpressure polling, signing inputs, FIFO arguments, abort-result checks, platform transport selection, and timeout options.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the other poll rewrites for the same exit-condition mismatch flagged in gc-controller-cadence: the fd poll in test/regression/issue/29181.test.ts loops on delta >= 16 and asserts < 16 on the same value, and the bun-jsc retry loop exits only on traces.length > 0, which is what each assertion checks. The settle(upload) change in fetch-abort-stream-body still fails if the upload resolves (it yields "resolved", not reason), and the streaming-extract stderr strip was checked for the reverse interleaving without finding a case it misses.

Extended reasoning...

Test-only de-flaking across 19 files under test/, no src/ changes and no security-sensitive surface. Five inline findings were posted (a routed-around runtime bug in fetch-abort-stream-body, a remaining boundary mismatch in gc-controller-cadence, a lingering port-reuse window in module-graph-io, and two nits), so a human look is already signalled; this note only records the sibling sites checked and ruled out.

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

Inline comments:
Review comments at @test/js/bun/jsc/bun-jsc.test.ts:
- Line 289: Move the deadline declaration out of profileUntilSampled so all
three calls share a single five-second retry window; keep the existing retry
condition bounded by that shared deadline.

Review comments at @test/js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-io.test.ts:
- Line 1061: Wrap the graph.import() call and socket cleanup in try/finally so
close() runs even when the import rejects, allowing the test to report the
import failure without leaving the UDP socket open.

Review comments at
@test/js/bun/test/parallel/test-http-should-emit-events-in-the-right-order.ts:
- Line 40: Wrap the fixture execution and its assertions in a try/finally tied
to server, and await the server.close callback in finally so the listener shuts
down on both success and failure.

Review comments at @test/js/first_party/ws/ws-server-compat-close.test.ts:
- Around line 423-434: Update the `fill` helper to assert that at least three
sends remain unwritten after its send loop, so tests cannot proceed when the
256-send cap is reached without establishing the intended precondition.
