Requests with an unsupported Accept header could end in a framework's default 404 Not Found when the application left them unhandled. This change waits for routing to finish and distinguishes default not-found responses from application responses before returning 406 Not Acceptable, preserving application-authored 404s and error hooks.

The fallback merges Accept into the existing Vary header and replaces stale body metadata. Regression tests exercise real Express, NestJS, Koa, Hono, and Elysia pipelines, including HEAD requests and custom 404s, on supported Deno, Node.js, and Bun targets.

Fixes #1277.

Delegating requests with an unsupported Accept header lost the 406
fallback when application routing found no representation.  Apply it
only to unhandled framework responses, preserving application 404s,
async handlers and error hooks.  Merge Vary: Accept and replace stale
body metadata when supplying the fallback.

Exercise real Express, NestJS, Koa, Hono and Elysia pipelines, including
HEAD requests, explicit 404s, streams and nested error hooks.  Add the
test support and changelog entries for these integrations.

Fixes fedify-dev#1277

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Five framework adapters now return a 406 fallback when Federation rejects an unsupported Accept header and downstream handling leaves an eligible default 404. Application responses are preserved. The changes add integration tests, release notes, and test-environment updates.

Changes

Unsupported Accept fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Elysia fallback handling
packages/elysia/src/index.ts, packages/elysia/src/fallback.test.ts, packages/elysia/package.json, changes.d/elysia/*, CHANGES.md
Elysia tracks rejected requests and converts qualifying unrouted errors to 406. Tests cover application hooks, plugin reuse, and AOT modes.
Express fallback handling
packages/express/src/index.ts, packages/express/src/fallback.test.ts, packages/express/package.json, changes.d/express/*, CHANGES.md
Express installs a fallback before downstream handling. It replaces only the recognized default 404 and preserves other responses. Tests cover GET and HEAD requests, custom 404 pages, and wrapped responses.
Hono fallback handling
packages/hono/src/mod.ts, packages/hono/src/fallback.test.ts, packages/hono/package.json, changes.d/hono/*, docs/manual/integration.md, CHANGES.md
Hono converts an observed default 404 to 406 and preserves other downstream responses. Tests and documentation cover route-owned 404s, streams, redirects, and fallback headers.
Koa fallback handling
packages/koa/src/index.ts, packages/koa/src/fallback.test.ts, packages/koa/package.json, changes.d/koa/*, CHANGES.md
Koa converts only its unchanged default 404 after downstream middleware completes. Tests cover GET and HEAD requests and explicit 404 responses.
NestJS fallback handling
packages/nestjs/src/fedify.middleware.ts, packages/nestjs/src/fallback.test.ts, packages/nestjs/package.json, deno.json, changes.d/nestjs/*, CHANGES.md
NestJS converts a matching default Nest 404 to 406 and preserves other responses. Package and Deno configuration add dependencies and test support; integration tests cover GET and HEAD requests.
Test and build setup
deno.json, packages/fedify/src/utils/docloader.test.ts
Deno build tasks now depend on installation, and Deno test exclusions include Elysia and NestJS tests. The document-loader cancellation test cleans up its timer and fetch mocks.

Downstream middleware can commit headers before invoking a saved end
function. Observe end assignments so the terminal 404 is classified and
replaced before those wrappers run, preserving their response handling.
Exercise GET and HEAD through a wrapper that commits headers first,
including application 404s and successful responses.

A wrapped fallback registration cannot be found by function identity.
Skip manual replay in that case so earlier application error hooks are
not called a second time. Cover wrapped registrations in both AOT and
dynamic modes, while retaining the existing later-hook behavior.

Hono's default not-found handler uses the same text helper applications
can call deliberately. Preserve responses when public route metadata
identifies an application route, including its terminal 404 after next().
Document this conservative boundary and test explicit default-text 404s,
route delegation, and preservation when response observation is unavailable.

A middleware's transformed stream cannot safely be distinguished from an
application-authored 404 replacement. Keep the conservative ownership
rule for later response assignments instead of retaining the terminal
marker across them.

Cover same-body response copies, stream wrappers and custom HTML bodies
so this preservation boundary is explicit across supported runtimes.

Fetch-mock rejects an aborted request while its delayed response timer
keeps running. That timer can finish in a later test and trigger Deno's
leak sanitizer. Clear it in finally, reset the mock on failures, and
restore the cancellation test's resource and operation checks.

Deno runs sibling task dependencies concurrently. The prerequisite pnpm
builds previously raced pnpm install, which can rewrite executable shims
while a build starts and fail with tsdown permission errors.

Make each prerequisite build depend on install so all shim updates and
installation lifecycle scripts finish before those builds run.

Wildcard middleware can return the same text as Hono's private
not-found handler, so observing the response cannot prove its owner.
Preserve 404 responses whenever another downstream handler matches,
including handlers that delegate to the default not-found handler.

Keep the 406 fallback when no downstream handler matches. Cover
wildcard responses and delegation, and document middleware ordering.

Hono bypasses compose() when only the federation middleware matches,
but HonoRequest initializes routeIndex to zero on that path too.
The existing guard already permits the 406 fallback.

Exercise this path without any additional middleware, checking the
406 body and headers and preserving 404s for unmatched URLs.
