+// Regression test for https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/62126
+//
+// Validates that UpdateDataStats() does not crash when called on a session
+// whose impl_ has already been reset to null (i.e. after Destroy()).
+//
+// The crash path in Session::SendDatagram():
+//   auto on_exit = OnScopeLeave([&] { ...; UpdateDataStats(); });
+// When an internal send error calls Close(SILENT) -> Destroy() -> impl_.reset(),
+// the on_exit lambda fires with impl_ == nullptr.  The `if (!impl_) return;`
+// guard added by this PR prevents the crash.
+//
+// Note: the precise crash trigger (a packet-allocation failure inside
+// SendDatagram) cannot be induced from JS.  This test exercises the closest
+// reachable scenario: datagrams sent immediately before session close, racing
+// the on_exit UpdateDataStats() call against teardown.
