Commit 2042572, landed as PR 37193, adds an "on browser bailout" callback so…
The second theme is cleanup and correctness in long-running server requests. PR 37242 fixes a listener leak: when a Fizz stream completes successfully, an abort listener on the request's signal was staying attached instead of being removed, which could accumulate under sustained load. And PR 37237 adds…
Third, DevTools stability. Two separate PRs, 37236 and 37244, target the same class of crash: "cannot find node in the store" errors that happen when nodes are added and removed in overlapping batches.
