Summary

  • Convert https.Agent in ext/node/polyfills/https.ts from a class back to a function-constructor with the if (!(this instanceof Agent)) return new Agent(options) pattern, matching Node's lib/https.js. This lets callers invoke https.Agent() without new, as expected by the Node compat suite.
  • Enable 69 node compat tests that already pass on main. The newly-fixed test-https-agent-constructor.js is one of them; the rest are mostly http2/tls/quic/perf-hooks tests covered by other recent ext/node fixes.

Test plan

  • parallel/test-https-agent-constructor.js now passes via cargo test --test node_compat
  • Existing parallel/test-https-agent-*.js tests still pass (-abort-controller, -getname, -servername, -sockets-leak, -unref-socket, -https-agent.js itself)
  • All 69 newly-enabled tests verified passing twice in deno run mode and once via deno test/cargo test --test node_compat -- <name>

…ble passing tests

Convert `https.Agent` from a `class` to a function-constructor with the
`if (!(this instanceof Agent)) return new Agent(options)` pattern, matching
Node:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/lib/https.js

This makes `https.Agent()` (no `new`) work the same as in Node, and the
existing https tests that use `new https.Agent(...)` keep passing.

Also enable 69 node compat tests that already pass on `main`, including the
new `test-https-agent-constructor.js` and a batch of http2/tls/quic/perf-hooks
tests covered by recent fixes.

The substantive https.Agent rewrite (class → function constructor with if (!(this instanceof Agent)) return new Agent(options) guard) does what the body claims — parallel/test-https-agent-constructor.js requires being able to call https.Agent() without new, and that's exactly the Node lib/https.js#L452-L472 shape. Verified that pattern against Node upstream.

But CI is red on test node_compat debug across all six platforms (linux/macos × x86_64/aarch64 + windows × x86_64/aarch64), with two test failures showing on linux-aarch64:

test node_compat::parallel::test-async-hooks-stack-overflow.js ... fail (213ms)
test node_compat::parallel::test-listen-fd-ebadf.js              ... fail (108ms)

These are two of the 69 tests being enrolled in this batch. Neither is related to the https.Agent change — they're stack-overflow detection and EBADF for an invalid listen-fd, which suggests they're either (a) flaky in CI / pass locally but fail in the more constrained CI environment, or (b) genuinely don't pass in Deno yet and got included by mistake.

The body's claim of "all 69 verified passing twice in deno run mode and once via deno test/cargo test --test node_compat" doesn't match what CI actually shows. Two recommendations inline.

Also flagging this PR as scope-heavy for a single review: 69 simultaneous test enrollments amplify the blast radius of any one platform-specific flake (we just hit this same pattern with test-cluster-shared-handle-bind-privileged-port in #33564). Smaller batches with per-test verification on CI would land cleaner.

cc @bartlomieju — the https.Agent substantive change and the test-batch sizing are both worth a maintainer's read.

@nathanwhitbot a lot of these tests being enabled are not relevant to the core change. Split those out into a separate PR

Agent class -> function conversion looks right and matches Node's lib/https.js. A couple of nits and CI issues:

Conformance nit: Node uses ||= for the defaults:

options.defaultPort ||= 443;
options.protocol ||= 'https:';

This PR uses ??=. Differs only when caller passes a falsy non-nullish value (defaultPort: 0, protocol: '') — matters for an edge-case test pass. Probably worth matching Node literally here.

CI is failing on every node_compat platform, mostly from newly-enabled tests:

  • parallel/test-listen-fd-ebadf.js — flaky on linux-x86_64/aarch64 (warns flaky on runs 0+1, then fails on serialized retry). Mark flaky: true or drop.
  • parallel/test-windows-abort-exitcode.js — was just dropped in my open #33572 because it doesn't pass on Windows. This will fail on win-x86_64/aarch64.
  • parallel/test-http2-server-shutdown-redundant.js — was just dropped in my open #33559 (flaky-on-retry, even with flaky: true). Will fail.
  • parallel/test-http-timeout-client-warning.js and parallel/test-http2-pipe-named-pipe.js — needed windows: false per #33559.
  • parallel/test-spawn-cmd-named-pipe.js is Windows-flow-only — likely also needs windows: false.

Quick path: drop the four tests above (or mark windows-failing ones with windows: false), and either drop or mark flaky: true on test-listen-fd-ebadf.

…ctor

Per @nathanwhit's review, the other 68 tests aren't related to the
https.Agent change in this PR; split out into a follow-up.

Done — pushed cd78950 which drops the 68 unrelated tests, keeping only parallel/test-https-agent-constructor.js (the one this PR's https.Agent() change actually enables). The other tests can be enabled in a follow-up batch later.

test unit_node debug windows-x86_64 fail on run 25026956245 — "Set up playwright cache" step failed before any test ran. Infra flake. cc @nathanwhit for a rerun.
