When \proxyFetch\ is called with a \Request\ object, \ oInit\ was extracting the headers and body but omitting \signal. This ensures the request's abort signal is forwarded properly.

Fixes #179

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Requests sent through the proxy now honor abort signals carried by a Request, so users can cancel both in-progress and already-aborted requests. When a separate signal is supplied, it continues to take precedence. Requests with a non-aborted signal continue to work normally.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

toInit now copies a Request input’s abort signal into RequestInit. Tests cover signal cancellation and precedence. Test paths now account for platform differences, and TypeScript includes only src and test.

Changes

Request abort propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Forward Request abort signals
src/fetch.ts, test/fetch.test.ts
toInit copies the input Request’s signal. Tests cover already-aborted and in-flight requests, an inputInit signal overriding the Request signal, and a successful request with a non-aborted signal.

Test path and TypeScript inclusion updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update test paths and TypeScript inclusion
test/fetch.test.ts, test/ws.test.ts, tsconfig.json
Fetch tests use Windows named pipes on Windows and temporary socket paths elsewhere. WebSocket tests convert the module URL to a filesystem path for the TLS fixture directory. TypeScript includes src and test.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 45b3c

Benchmark and playground type errors can pass CI. Restore their typecheck coverage before merging, or accept that bounded gap.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 45b3c

The change restores cancellation through the existing request path without adding destinations or privileges. No introduced security issue was established. Cleanup during streaming and after response headers remains insufficiently verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The newly effective authority is cancellation of work initiated using caller-supplied Request objects. Compared with the parent revision, no expansion of destination reachability, credential access, or cross-service privileges was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Initial destination selection remains based on the supplied proxy address. Cancellation passes through the existing upstream request chokepoint, which retains its request-hardening call and redirect-header handling.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The unchanged transport implementation delegates cancellation to Node request signal handling and pipes streaming bodies without explicit reciprocal abort cleanup. Cleanup during upload, after response headers, after completion, and under repeated aborts remains unverified; this is a coverage limitation rather than an established PR-introduced resource leak.

Explanation

The Windows named-pipe socket paths in test/fetch.test.ts, the path conversion in test/ws.test.ts, and the narrowed tsconfig.json include list address path portability and TypeScript project scope. They do not implement or test issue #179's abort-signal behavior.

When passing a Request instance as input, toInit was omitting the abort signal.

Include the benchmark and playground sources in the root typecheck.

CI runs root pnpm typecheck, which uses tsc --noEmit. The current include omits bench and playground, and no separate benchmark typecheck exists. Type errors in these files can pass CI.
