An unbound TCP client connect created a plain async net.Socket, with saddr/sport only recorded on the async 'connect' event, so getsockname() immediately after a non-blocking connect() returned 0.0.0.0:0. Kernel semantics assign the ephemeral source port synchronously at connect(), so callers (e.g. mio) that read the local address right after a non-blocking connect raced the event loop. connect() now binds an ephemeral port first through the same eager synchronous bindHandle path an explicit bind() takes, then connects through the bound handle, making getsockname() correct up front.

This fixes an ordering issue in the NODERAWSOCKETS TCP client connect path.

test_noderawsockets_connect_getsocknameasserts the ephemeral port is non-zero immediately after a non-blockingconnect()returns, before any event loop turn, and that it is unchanged once connected. The test is plain POSIX and passes natively against the host stack.Made with AI assistance under my review
