+ *                       writer enforces it
+ *   * Audit-4 #11: SERVER_BIDI peer-opened streams get sendCredit from
+ *                  peer.initialMaxStreamDataBidiLocal
+ *   * Audit-4 #13: CONNECTION_CLOSE returns immediately; subsequent frames
+ *                  in the same payload are NOT dispatched
+ *   * Audit-4 #14: HANDSHAKE_DONE at non-APPLICATION level closes with
