Summary

  • retain Node-compatible agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer constructor values and default invalid or missing values to 1000 ms
  • expose the ordinary writable Agent property through Perry's external-handle get/set dispatch, including GC rooting for assigned JS values
  • add a parity regression mirroring Node's test-http-agent-keep-alive-timeout-buffer.js assertions

Tests

  • cargo test --release -p perry-ext-http agent::tests -- --nocapture (8 passed)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check
  • python3 scripts/check_test_registration.py
  • Node output matches the new parity fixture exactly

Refs #4975

No version bump.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for the agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer option on HTTP and HTTPS agents.
    • Valid finite, non-negative values are preserved; invalid or missing values default to 1000 ms.
    • The setting can be read and updated after an agent is created.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for valid, invalid, infinite, and omitted timeout buffer values.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds writable agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer support to HTTP agents. Constructor values remain unchanged when finite and non-negative; invalid or missing values use 1000. Runtime assignments retain their raw values. Dispatch, GC scanning, tests, and changelog coverage are included.

Changes

HTTP agent timeout buffer

Layer / File(s) Summary
Buffer storage and constructor normalization
crates/perry-ext-http/src/agent.rs
AgentHandle stores the timeout buffer. Constructor values are normalized to finite, non-negative values or 1000.0.
Property access and dispatch
crates/perry-ext-http/src/agent.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/common/dispatch/*.rs
Dynamic reads and writes expose agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer through the HTTP agent getter and setter.
Behavior validation and release documentation
crates/perry-ext-http/src/agent.rs, test-files/test_issue_4975_http_agent_keep_alive_timeout_buffer.ts, test-parity/expected/test_issue_4975_http_agent_keep_alive_timeout_buffer.txt, changelog.d/8608-http-agent-keep-alive-timeout-buffer.md
Tests verify valid, invalid, missing, and runtime-assigned values. The changelog documents the property and default.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e4a0c

The change exposes and stores the keep-alive timeout buffer, but it may not yet influence socket reuse at runtime. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness that this release is limited to property compatibility; otherwise the runtime behavior should be completed.

Cover dynamic reads and writes in the parity test.

This test only reads constructor values. It does not exercise the generic getter/setter dispatch added in init.rs and property_dispatch.rs, or verify that post-construction assignments preserve raw values.

Add an erased-receiver assignment and update the expected output.

Example
 const defaulted = new Agent();
 console.log(defaulted.agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer);
 
+const dynamic: any = configured;
+dynamic.agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer = -100;
+console.log(dynamic.agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer);
+
 configured.destroy();

Implement agentKeepAliveTimeoutBuffer or narrow the compatibility claim.

client_for_agent and the TLS custom-client path use keepAliveMsecs only. They ignore agent_keep_alive_timeout_buffer, so constructor values and runtime assignments do not affect socket reuse. Implement Node’s response-aware Keep-Alive timeout calculation, including runtime assignments, or limit the claim to property storage and dispatch.

Ratchets re-run against the current baseline immediately before merge.

These were staged alongside #8610, which is held: it adds +2 bare raw-handle reads in class_registry/construct.rs and +1 open-coded StringHeader payload offset. I confirmed by exclusion that the debt is entirely #8610's — with just these two the same gates report 925/925 and 436 inline offsets, both exit 0 — so neither of these is implicated and there was no reason to hold them behind it.
