Make `createCustomAbortControllerSignal().signal` always return a native `AbortSignal` so it passes Node.js's `#brand` check in `AbortSignal.any` (Node v26.10+, nodejs/node#65846).

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;

createCustomAbortControllerSignal, keep aborting nativeCtrl so its signal
remains compatible with AbortSignal.any, and also dispatch an abort event on the
custom EventTarget-backed controller; preserve the native abort call’s return
value.
