@nodejs/releasers unfortunately, we would need to backport this to node 22.x and 24.x to fix node-fetch@2. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Side-note: I had a cursory look for guidance on Node.js internals managing EventEmitter events on emitter-derived Node.js classes, and found none. My feeling is that we don't ordinarily consider changes related to internally-managed event listeners to be semver-major, even though they're publicly observable. Maybe we should elucidate what our stance is, and make it explicit in the EventEmitter documentation?

Fixes: #63989
The response-queue-poisoning guard added to idle
http.Agentsockets used a public'data'listener. That madenode-fetch@2observesocket.listenerCount('data') > 0during response close and report falseERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSEerrors.This changes the idle-socket guard to use the socket handle's internal
onreadhook while the socket is in the free pool, restoring the normal stream read callback when the socket is reused. The guard still destroys sockets that receive unsolicited data while idle, but it no longer adds public stream listeners.
