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;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Summary
AbortSignal.anyvalidation via nodejs/node#65846 (lib: use Web IDL interface brand checks): conversion now requires a private#brandfield on realAbortSignalinstances, not prototype ancestry.AbortSignal.prototype, so our Proxy withgetPrototypeOf → AbortSignal.prototypestill passed. On 26.10+ it fails withsignals[0] is not of type AbortSignal.createCustomAbortControllerSignal().signalnow always returnsensureNativeCtrl().signal(a real nativeAbortSignal), andabort()always goes through that controller soAbortSignal.anydependents still observe the abort.Fixes the
