@google-cloud/pubsub 6.2.0 Node.js Subscription.close behavior stop receiving messages in-flight message handlers

💡 Result:

For **`@google-cloud/pubsub` 6.2.0**, `subscription.close()` stops the subscription from receiving **new message events**. It does **not** cancel a handler that has already started; your in-flight handler continues running.

So, if you need graceful shutdown, stop receiving first, then wait for your own in-flight handler promises to settle before exiting. Make sure handlers ack or nack their messages: closing doesn’t mean those messages are acknowledged, and unacked messages may be redelivered.

The current API docs describe `close()` as stopping message events, but the available implementation source is not for 6.2.0, so it doesn’t establish the exact 6.2.0 internals or drain semantics. ([github.com](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-pubsub/blob/main/src/subscription.ts?utm_source=openai))

Close the subscriber before waiting for active uploads.

stop() keeps the subscriber open while an upload is pending. New deliveries can enter #handleMessage() and call message.nack(). Pub/Sub may immediately redeliver those messages to the same subscriber, creating retry traffic during shutdown.

Start closing the subscriber before waiting. Subscription.close() stops new message events without cancelling handlers that already started, so active uploads can still acknowledge or reject their messages.

Suggested fix 
-        await Promise.allSettled(this.#activeFlushes);
-        await this.#subscriber.close();
+        const closePromise = this.#subscriber.close();
+        await Promise.allSettled(this.#activeFlushes);
+        await closePromise;

Update stop() to start closing #subscriber before waiting for #activeFlushes,
then await both the active flushes and the close operation. Preserve handling of
uploads already in progress.
