Summary

  • Node.js v26.10.0 tightened AbortSignal.any validation via nodejs/node#65846 (lib: use Web IDL interface brand checks): conversion now requires a private #brand field on real AbortSignal instances, not prototype ancestry.
  • Through v26.9.0 the converter used AbortSignal.prototype, so our Proxy with getPrototypeOf → AbortSignal.prototype still passed. On 26.10+ it fails with signals[0] is not of type AbortSignal.
  • createCustomAbortControllerSignal().signal now always returns ensureNativeCtrl().signal (a real native AbortSignal), and abort() always goes through that controller so AbortSignal.any dependents still observe the abort.

Fixes the unit / node 26 failure in CustomAbortControllerSignal.spec.ts

Test plan

  • npx jest packages/server/test/CustomAbortControllerSignal.spec.ts packages/server/test/abort.spec.ts packages/server/test/useRequestDeadline.spec.ts --runInBand (Node v26.10.0)
  • CI unit / node 26 green

…check

Node 26+ validates AbortSignal.any inputs with a private #brand field
(nodejs/node#54965). Always expose ensureNativeCtrl().signal so duck-typed
Proxies are no longer rejected.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed abort signal compatibility with AbortSignal.any in Node.js v26.10 and later.
    • Abort operations now consistently use a native abort signal.

Walkthrough

The custom abort controller now returns its native AbortSignal from its signal getter and uses its native controller for abort operations. A changeset records a patch release for @whatwg-node/server.

Changes

AbortSignal compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native abort controller behavior
packages/server/src/utils.ts, .changeset/abortsignal-any-brand.md
abort() now ensures a native controller exists and aborts through it. The signal getter always returns the native signal. The changeset records a patch release and describes the AbortSignal.any branding requirement.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 321d4

Applications listening directly on the custom controller may miss abort notifications. Restore those notifications before merging, or accept the bounded compatibility risk.

Dispatch abort on the custom controller as well.

createCustomAbortControllerSignal() returns an EventTarget-backed controller. Returning the native signal is required for AbortSignal.any, but nativeCtrl.abort() emits only on nativeCtrl.signal. Also dispatch the event on the custom target.

Suggested fix
-    return nativeCtrl.abort(reason);
+    const result = nativeCtrl.abort(reason);
+    this.dispatchEvent(new Event('abort'));
+    return result;
