Announce that incoming Request.signal abort events become the default for compatibility dates on or after November 17, 2026. Update the compatibility-flag metadata and Request reference, and add an October 17 advance changelog with a cancellation example and guidance for opting in early or opting out. request_signal_passthrough is unchanged.

Companion runtime PR: cloudflare/workerd#7798. Publish the documentation before November 17 so developers can test ahead of the default change. The changelog date is the announcement date; the compatibility boundary is November 17.

Validation: Astro and Worker type checks, changelog Prettier formatting, and git diff --check pass. Full-site builds were not completed locally.

Documentation checklist

  • Includes a changelog entry.
  • Follows the documentation style guide.

Fix the following review findings in PR #34424 (https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/pull/34424).

Before making changes, review each finding and present a brief summary table:
- For each finding, state whether you agree, disagree, or need clarification.
- If you disagree, explain why.
- If you need clarification before deciding, ask those questions.
- Then share your plan for which issues to tackle and in what order.

After triaging, follow this order:
1. Post a comment on this PR for any findings you are skipping, with the finding ID and your reasoning.

## Style Guide
- S-0f153426 | src/content/docs/workers/runtime-apis/request.mdx:268 | Month name and four-digit year in prose outside changelog
  The added prose contains the month name `November` and the four-digit year `2026` in `November 17, 2026`. The time-sensitive content rules apply to this file (it is outside `src/content/changelog/`), and the exceptions do not cover this line: it is body prose, not a code block, backtick span, frontmatter field, URL, or example data. Month references and years must be removed or rewritten so the reference reads as timeless.
