Cause (Documented platform behavior): undici's connector defaults timeout to 10e3 ms. When net.connect with autoSelectFamily fails with an AggregateError containing ETIMEDOUT, undici 8.x wraps it as ConnectTimeoutError with the attempted addresses and preserves the AggregateError on .cause, so both Node's and undici's timers produce the same error.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Node's built-in fetch bundles its own undici version; the AggregateError normalization was read in undici 8.11.2 and older bundled versions may surface AggregateError/ETIMEDOUT directly.
Other error fragments:
- (attempted addresses: ${socket.autoSelectFamilyAttemptedAddresses.join(', ')},
- (attempted address: ${opts.hostname}:${opts.port},
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/undici/-/undici-8.11.2.tgz#package/lib/core/connect.js (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): buildConnector defaults timeout to 10e3; maybeNormalizeConnectError wraps autoSelectFamily AggregateError ETIMEDOUT into ConnectTimeoutError with attempted address(es).
- https://registry.npmjs.org/undici/-/undici-8.11.2.tgz#package/lib/core/errors.js (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): ConnectTimeoutError default message 'Connect Timeout Error', code UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT.
- https://registry.npmjs.org/undici/-/undici-8.11.2.tgz#package/docs/docs/api/Client.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): connectTimeout default 10e3 ms; 0 disables.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- 'TypeError: fetch failed' whose cause is ConnectTimeoutError with code UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT after ~10 s; the message lists the attempted addresses.
- Context
- Product: undici / Node.js fetch Component: Connector (connectTimeout, autoSelectFamily) Operation: fetch()/undici request to a host whose first resolved addresses (often IPv6) are unreachable or slow, or through a slow network/sandbox egress Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: TypeError: fetch failed, ConnectTimeoutError, AggregateError Packages: undici checked 8.11.2 Trigger: Connection establishment exceeding connectTimeout (default 10e3 ms), or every address tried by Happy Eyeballs timing out.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [undici / Node fetch] UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT 'Connect Timeout Error (attempted address(es): ..., timeout: 10000ms)' — 10 s default connectTimeout; with autoSelectFamily an all-addresses
Recommended action: Check the attempted addresses in the message: if only IPv6 addresses appear, fix IPv6 routing or force IPv4 (dns.setDefaultResultOrder('ipv4first') / autoSelectFamily); otherwise raise connectTimeout via new Agent({ connect: { timeout } }) passed as dispatcher, or check egress/proxy.
