Split out of #39548. One fix in RedisClient.duplicate(), with a test in test/js/valkey/reliability/connection-failures.test.ts that fails on main.

The problem

duplicate() copied the manual-close flag from its source. A duplicate of a close()d client starts out never connected and dials on its first command. Because the copied flag was set, its first dropped connection was treated as a manual close: no retry, even with autoReconnect: true, until the user called connect() explicitly. duplicate() also copied the finalized flag, which is dead: only the finalizer sets it, and duplicate() is only reachable from a live wrapper.

What changed

duplicate() no longer copies either flag. A duplicate starts with no close history; the option flags it does copy are unchanged. A comment in fail() and one in an existing test that described the old copy are reworded.

Visible changes

A duplicate of a closed client reconnects after a dropped connection when autoReconnect is on.

Tests

Against a net stub that answers HELLO and PING: the source is closed, the duplicate's first connection is dropped by the server right after PING, and the duplicate must reconnect and answer the next PING from a third connection.

Rebase

Rebased onto main after #39546 landed. Only the test file conflicted: both sides appended tests to connection-failures.test.ts, and main also opened a new "Offline Queue" describe block at the end of the file. The new test now sits in "Recovering After fail()", directly after "a duplicate of a failed client still auto-reconnects", which defines the helloServer stub it uses. The src change applied unchanged.

LGTM — small, well-reasoned fix with a targeted regression test.

What was reviewed:

  • clone_without_connecting() now leaves is_manually_closed and finalized to Default (both false); confirmed no other flag's value changes via ..Default::default().
  • finalized copy was dead — only set by the JS finalizer, and duplicate() is only reachable from a live wrapper.
  • The updated comment in fail_with_js_value() accurately drops the now-stale reference to the copied flag.
  • New test mirrors the adjacent "duplicate of a failed client" test, wires onclose to reject, and asserts exact connection counts.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR removes two flag copies from JSValkeyClient::clone_without_connecting() (the backing for RedisClient.duplicate()): is_manually_closed and finalized. Both now fall through to ConnectionFlags::default(), i.e. false. A stale comment in fail_with_js_value() that described the old copy is trimmed, an existing test comment is reworded to match, and a new regression test is added.

Security risks

None. This is a two-line state-initialization change in the Valkey client's duplicate() path; no parsing, auth, or untrusted-input handling is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The diff is tiny (5 lines of production code removed, comment edits, one new test) and the mechanism is clearly explained in the PR description. I traced each of the nine ConnectionFlags fields through the before/after struct literal to confirm only is_manually_closed and finalized change value, and both correctly become false:

  • is_manually_closed: the bug. A duplicate of a close()d client would inherit true, so its first server-initiated drop hit the is_manually_closed || failed early-out in on_close() and skipped auto-reconnect. A fresh duplicate has never been closed, so false is correct.
  • finalized: dead copy. Only finalize() sets it, and duplicate() is a JS method reachable only from a live wrapper, so it's always false at the copy site anyway.

Other factors

The new test is a near-exact structural sibling of the existing "a duplicate of a failed client still auto-reconnects" test (which the PR also updates the comment on), using the same helloServer stub and the same onconnect/onclose wiring — so failure paths reject the awaited promise rather than hanging. Cleanup is in try/finally. No network access, no sleeps-as-waits. The PR description states the test fails on main, which matches the traced behavior. No prior reviewer comments to address.

Adopted. Ready to merge from my side: the src change is unchanged since the first push, the new test fails on a debug build without it and passes with it, and dec40a7 only rewords one test comment from review. Waiting on CI for the current head.

LGTM — a duplicate no longer inherits its source's is_manually_closed/finalized flags, so a duplicate of a closed client can auto-reconnect.

What was reviewed

  • clone_without_connecting(): the two removed flags fall through to ConnectionFlags::default() (both false); the option flags still copied are unchanged.
  • Confirmed finalized is only ever set by the JS finalizer, so copying it from a live wrapper was dead.
  • New test mirrors the existing "duplicate of a failed client" test with client.close() as the source state; reuses helloServer, wires onclose to reject, cleans up in finally.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Removes two flag copies (is_manually_closed, finalized) from JSValkeyClient::clone_without_connecting() in src/runtime/valkey_jsc/js_valkey.rs, so a duplicate() starts with no close history. Trims an obsolete sentence from the fail() comment in valkey.rs that described the old copy. Rewords the matching comment in an existing test and adds a new test that duplicates a close()d client and asserts it auto-reconnects after the server drops its first connection.

Security risks

None. No parsing of untrusted input, no auth/TLS/permission code touched — this only changes which per-connection state flags are seeded on a fresh duplicate.

Level of scrutiny

Low. The native change is a five-line removal whose effect is that two boolean fields fall through to ..Default::default() (both false per ConnectionFlags::default()). The rationale is sound: is_manually_closed is per-connection close history, not a user option, and a duplicate is a fresh never-connected client that should go through the normal retry policy on its first drop. finalized is set only by the GC finalizer, and duplicate() is a JS method reachable only from a live wrapper, so copying it was dead. No other consumer of these flags is affected — the duplicate simply starts in the same state a freshly-constructed client does.

Other factors

The new test follows the established helloServer stub pattern in the same file, uses Promise.withResolvers with onclose wired to reject (so a wrong close fails the test rather than hanging), asserts exact connection counts, and cleans up in finally. The existing "duplicate of a failed client" test's comment is updated to reflect that a duplicate carries no close history at all, which is now true for both the failed and manually-closed source cases. No CODEOWNERS entries cover these paths.

LGTM — a duplicate now starts with clean close-history flags instead of inheriting the source's manual-close/finalized state.

What was reviewed

  • clone_without_connecting(): removed is_manually_closed/finalized from the flag copy; both now come from ConnectionFlags::default() (= false), which matches a fresh NeverConnected client.
  • Traced is_manually_closed through on_close() — confirmed the copied flag was what suppressed the retry policy on the duplicate's first drop.
  • finalized copy was dead: only finalize() sets it, and duplicate() is only reachable from a live wrapper.
  • New test mirrors the existing "duplicate of a failed client" sibling and reuses its helloServer stub; onclose is wired to reject so a missed retry fails fast.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two-line fix in src/runtime/valkey_jsc/js_valkey.rs's clone_without_connecting() (the backing for RedisClient.duplicate()): stop copying is_manually_closed and finalized from the source client into the duplicate's ConnectionFlags. Both now fall through to ..Default::default(), which sets them to false. A comment in valkey.rs's fail() and one in an existing test that described the old copy behavior are reworded. A new test in connection-failures.test.ts covers the observable fix.

Correctness

The bug is well-traced: disconnect() sets is_manually_closed, on_close() reads it to skip the retry policy, and clone_without_connecting() was copying it into a duplicate whose status starts at NeverConnected. So a duplicate of a close()d client would treat its own first server-initiated drop as a manual close and never retry. Removing the copy is the right fix at the right layer — a fresh client should have no close history, and every other consumer of is_manually_closed (do_connect() clears it, on_close() reads it) already treats it as per-instance state.

The finalized copy was provably dead: it is only set in JSValkeyClient::finalize() (the GC finalizer), and duplicate() is a JS method reachable only from a live wrapper. Removing it is pure cleanup.

I checked ConnectionFlags::default() — both flags default to false, so ..Default::default() produces the intended fresh state. The option flags that should be inherited (enable_auto_reconnect, enable_offline_queue, enable_auto_pipelining) are still copied explicitly.

Security risks

None. This is a boolean flag copy in a struct initializer; no untrusted input, no memory management, no auth/TLS paths touched.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The Rust change is a five-line deletion from a struct initializer with a clear mechanism. The test is the more substantial addition, and it closely mirrors the adjacent "a duplicate of a failed client still auto-reconnects" test — same helloServer stub, same reconnected withResolvers pattern, same onclose-rejects wiring so a missed retry fails the test rather than hanging.

Other factors

The author (via robobun) confirmed the new test fails on main and passes with the fix on a debug build, and the other 38 stub-based tests in the file pass. Pre-rebase CI passed. The rebase only touched test placement. No outstanding reviewer comments.

LGTM — targeted fix that stops duplicate() from inheriting the source's is_manually_closed/finalized flags, so a duplicate of a closed client auto-reconnects.

What was reviewed:

  • clone_without_connecting now falls through to ConnectionFlags::default() for both removed flags (both false) — verified only caller is duplicate(), which is unreachable from a finalized wrapper.
  • The failed flag was already defaulted (not copied), so the sibling "failed client" test's invariant is unchanged; the trimmed fail() comment just drops the now-stale rationale.
  • New test mirrors its sibling's structure, wires onclose to reject the awaited promise, and would fail on main (copied flag → drop of connection 2 fires onclose instead of retrying).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Removes two flag copies from JSValkeyClient::clone_without_connecting in src/runtime/valkey_jsc/js_valkey.rs: is_manually_closed and finalized. Both now fall through to ..Default::default(), which sets them to false. Trims a stale sentence from the fail() comment in valkey.rs that referenced the old copy behavior. Adds one test and rewords a comment in the neighboring sibling test in connection-failures.test.ts.

Security risks

None. This is lifecycle-flag bookkeeping in a client duplication path; no untrusted input parsing, auth, or crypto is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The Rust change is a 5-line deletion whose effect is fully described by ConnectionFlags::default(). clone_without_connecting has exactly one caller (duplicate() in js_valkey_functions.rs), and that caller is a #[host_fn(method)] — only reachable from a live JS wrapper, so finalized on the source is provably false at that point (dead-code removal). The is_manually_closed removal is the actual behavior fix: a duplicate starts NeverConnected with no socket and has never had close() called on it, so inheriting the source's manual-close bit is semantically wrong and suppresses the retry policy on the duplicate's first drop.

Other factors

The new test is a near-clone of the existing "a duplicate of a failed client still auto-reconnects" test directly above it, using the same helloServer stub and the same reconnect-assertion shape (two onconnects, no onclose, PING answered on connection 3). It wires onclose to reject the awaited promise so a regression fails fast rather than timing out. robobun confirmed the test fails without the src change and passes with it on a debug build. The one CodeRabbit thread (test-comment wording) was addressed in dec40a7 and resolved. No outstanding human review comments.
