The wire parser's verdict on the trailer section of a chunked request keeps the fields that it accepts as field records, the form that request headers already have. req.rawTrailers is built from those records. The second parse at 'end' and the leniency flag that JS passed to it are gone. That flag was server.insecureHTTPParser === true, which is false for --insecure-http-parser and for httpValidation, so a trailer value with a control byte dropped every trailer field of the request. The raw section stays in the parser's own buffer, so a body fin that follows no verdict cannot hand it to the request.
WalkthroughThe chunked request parser now validates trailer sections and stores accepted fields as length-prefixed records. The Node.js HTTP path transfers those records into request trailer handling and builds ChangesRequest trailer handling

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the hasBufferedPartialRequestHeaders() polarity change at HttpParser.h:584 against its callers in HttpContext.h and HttpResponse.h (with a body in flight they already see the same answer as before, since the buffer was empty on main in that state) and the release-build behavior of the new ASSERT(!remainingStreamingBytes) at HttpParser.h:1841 (the partial-head append is only reached after the body loop has drained remainingStreamingBytes, so no path appends read bytes onto a captured trailer section). All three ChunkIterator call sites pass the same fallback buffer and take the verdict through acceptNodeTrailerSection, and nextCapturedHeader bounds-checks each record's total length before slicing the trailer bytes.
Extended reasoning...
The change reuses the uWS parser's fallback buffer for trailer capture in node:http chunked requests, moves the trailer verdict into a single acceptNodeTrailerSection that serializes accepted fields as length-prefixed records, and deletes the second JS-driven parse. It touches the network-facing request parser (untrusted wire bytes), so the record encoder/decoder pair and the assertion-only invariants were the main surfaces checked; the record reader is bounds-checked and the asserted invariants hold on the paths traced. The two inline findings (memory retained in fallback across keep-alive, and the hand-set 60 s test timeout) are what a human should weigh.

A note on order with #46137, which frees the capture of a request trailer section when its message is over. On main an idle connection keeps a heap block the size of that section.

The verdict moves a trailer section with fields out of the parser's buffer and frees it on return. The take at the fin no longer swaps the block of the previous take into the connection. A connection then holds no block for a trailer section that is over. The test that runs the file under Node.js uses the default timeout, like the other files with that test.

Both points from my earlier review are addressed by the new commit: acceptNodeTrailerSection now moves the section into a frame-local so the connection no longer keeps the grown block, and the hand-set 60 s timeout is gone from the test file.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the Bun__NodeHTTP__takeRequestTrailerBytes std::exchange handoff (the Rust side copies the thread-local bytes before anything else runs on the thread), the reuse of Bun__NodeHTTP__buildRawHeadersArray with an undefined headers argument (getObject() yields null, so the sameHeaderValue lookup is skipped), and the sharing of fallback between partial-head buffering and trailer capture (the partial-head append only runs after the head parse falls through with no body in flight, and the reassembled block is cleared before it goes back) — none of these is affected.
Extended reasoning...
The PR reworks node:http request-trailer handling across the uWS parser (HttpParser.h, ChunkedEncoding.h), the C++ bindings, the Rust NodeHTTPResponse and src/js/internal/http.ts, so the wire parser's one verdict produces the field records that req.rawTrailers is built from, and deletes the second JS-driven parse. It touches an untrusted-input parsing surface (chunked trailer section from the peer) with release-build guards on record sizes. The two inline findings (a pre-existing silent cap at 199 trailer fields and a test-helper hang mode) plus the size and memory-safety sensitivity of the parser changes mean a human should still look.
The verdict accepted a trailer section with more fields than it can hold. It kept the first 199 and did not read the lines after them. It now fails the request with HPE_HEADER_OVERFLOW, as the parser does for too many header fields. A line that is not a field after the 199th field fails the request with HPE_INVALID_HEADER_TOKEN, as in Node.js. The helper of the Upgrade tests rejects when a socket closes before the FIN reaches the upgraded socket. Each comment that this change edits is one line.

On main the verdict parses into an array of 199 fields, stops when the array is full, and does not read the rest of the section. The array now has one more slot, and a section that fills it fails the request, as a request with more than 198 header fields does (431). The review found this.

The chunk iterator captures the section in the parser's private
fallbackbuffer, which held only a request head that came in several reads. The two uses do not overlap: a head is buffered only while no body is in flight, and the section only while one is. Three debug assertions state this where the chunked body starts, where the head block goes back to the parser, and where a partial head is stored.hasBufferedPartialRequestHeaders()now tests for a body in flight, so it answers as on main in every state. None of its four callers can see the difference today.sizeof(uWS::HttpParser)stays 56 andsizeof(uWS::HttpResponseData<SSL, true>)stays 280.The verdict moves a section with fields into a local and frees it when it returns.
