Please answer these questions before submitting your issue.
In order to accurately debug the issue this information is required. Thanks!

1. What version of NodeJS driver are you using?

1.14.0

3. What operating system and processor architecture are you using?

Operating System: Darwin (macOS)
Kernel Version: 23.6.0
Processor Architecture: ARM64

5. What version of NodeJS are you using?
   (node --version and npm --version)

$ node -v
v22.5.1
$ pnpm -v
9.5.0

6. What are the component versions in the environment (npm list)?

7. What did you do?

8. Create a connection using createConnection with the authenticator set to EXTERNALBROWSER.

9. Call connectAsync which opens up browser tab.

10. Complete authentication flow successfully.

11. Execute simple query (< 3 seconds).

12. Close the connection.

13. Expect program to exit - it does not.

14. What did you expect to see?

Expect program to exit - it does not.

There is an open timer, created here, preventing the program from exiting. The timer is essentially a timeout for the browser authentication. It should be cleared if the authentication was successful.

9. Can you collect debug logs?

[WTF Node?] open handles:
- File descriptors: (note: stdio always exists)
  - fd 1 (tty) (stdio)
  - fd 2 (tty) (stdio)
- Timers:
  - (120000 ~ 2 min) (anonymous) @ ./node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]/node_modules/snowflake-sdk/lib/authentication/auth_web.js:181
