 ## [Unreleased]
 
-_Nothing yet._
+### Fixed
+
+- Keep persistent HTTP/1.1 body framing in the caller's isolation while reading
+  chunks. Swift 6.4 can otherwise reject the cancellation-handler read with
+  "sending 'current' risks causing data races"; the chunked decoder remains
+  single-consumer, without unchecked Sendable conformance or an executor hop.

+Persistent HTTP/1.1 body reads inherit the caller's isolation through
+`PersistentHTTP1Connection.readChunk`'s isolated parameter. Its framing can own a
+mutable chunked-body decoder, so a cancellation-handler read must not send that
+single-consumer state to a different executor. Cancellation still abandons the
