 * Type: {AbortSignal}
 
-An {AbortSignal} that is aborted when the underlying socket closes or the
-request is destroyed. The signal is created lazily on first access — no
-{AbortController} is allocated for requests that never use this property.
+An {AbortSignal} that is aborted when the message is destroyed before
+completion or when its underlying socket closes before request handling or
+response reading completes.
+The signal is created lazily on first access — no {AbortController} is allocated
+for requests that never use this property.
 
 This is useful for cancelling downstream asynchronous work such as database
 queries or `fetch` calls when a client disconnects mid-request.
