Objected, but at the QUIC layer (rejected at the QUIC layer with INTERNAL_ERROR), so the HTTP/3 error code could not be read. §8.1 carries an HTTP/3 connection error in an application close, and this test asks for 0x108 specifically — whether that was the client's reasoning is not observable from here.
The suite could not establish what this client does here. That is a shortcoming of the run rather than anything about the client, and every one of these is on our list to remove.
What was measured
- Client
- curl — ngtcp2 + nghttp3, ngtcp2/1.11.0
- Test
- A second GOAWAY naming a larger identifier than the first —
h-goaway-increasing - Clause
- RFC 9114 §5.2 (MUST)
- Class
- correctness — Rejected something invalid, with the code the RFC names.
- Required behaviour
- Close the connection with H3_ID_ERROR. §5.2 permits multiple GOAWAY frames but requires the identifier in each to be no greater than any previously sent, because the identifier is a promise about what will still be processed and raising it takes that promise back. "Receiving a GOAWAY containing a larger identifier than previously received MUST be treated as a connection error of type H3_ID_ERROR."

Reproduce it
The suite is the judge, so the reproduction is to point the same client at the same test and let the server report what it saw.
SESSION=$(curl -sX POST https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/session | jq -r .id)
# then drive curl at the test URL and read the verdict:
curl -s https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/report/$SESSION.json | jq '.results["h-goaway-increasing"]'
