# Compatibility Cleanup Register

Use this file to track temporary compatibility code introduced by architecture
migration PRs. Entries are required only for compatibility paths that are planned
for later deletion.

## Required Source Marker

```rust
// RUSTFS_COMPAT_TODO(<task-id>): <why this compatibility path exists>. Remove after <specific condition>.
```

## Open Items

- `rustfs-5416` Helm distributed startup wait setting: charts that predate explicit local endpoint identity expose startupWaitTimeoutSeconds for their peer DNS/TCP init gate. The new chart keeps the value accepted but ignores it after moving startup convergence into RustFS. Remove the value and its documentation after the minimum supported direct-upgrade chart includes localEndpointHost.autoInject and no longer renders the peer gate.
- `rustfs-5416-wait-mode` startup wait-mode validation: releases before explicit local endpoint identity treat an unknown RUSTFS_STARTUP_TOPOLOGY_WAIT_MODE value as auto. New servers retain that fallback only when no explicit local endpoint host is configured; an anchor requires a recognized mode so a typo cannot bypass DNS locality. Remove the fallback and reject every unknown value after every supported direct-upgrade chart validates this setting before rollout.
- `rustfs-5416-kubernetes-alias-dns` Kubernetes endpoint identity fallback: deployments created before explicit local endpoint identity may use resolvable aliases that do not match the Pod hostname. An implicit auto-mode zero match retains legacy DNS locality with a bounded deadline, while ambiguous matches and invalid explicit anchors still fail closed. Remove the fallback after every supported direct-upgrade chart and deployment manifest provides a canonical RUSTFS_LOCAL_ENDPOINT_HOST for domain-based distributed topologies.
- `rustfs-5416-zero-retry-delay` startup retry-delay validation: releases before bounded topology convergence accept RUSTFS_STARTUP_TOPOLOGY_RETRY_MAX_DELAY values of 0 or 0ms. New servers replace those values with the safe nonzero default so a direct upgrade neither fails startup nor enters a busy loop. Reject zero after the minimum supported direct-upgrade release validates or rewrites this setting before rollout.
- `scanner-usage-v2` persisted scanner usage migration: pre-v2 scanners write `.usage.json`, so upgraded clusters read that primary/backup pair only while `.usage.v2.json` is absent and continue removing deleted buckets from legacy copies that still exist. The additive usage_snapshot_complete field in `.usage.v2.json` must remain optional while mixed-version clusters are supported; a missing field means the snapshot is not authoritative. Remove the legacy object fallback and cleanup only after every supported direct-upgrade source writes `.usage.v2.json`.
- `ns-scanner-rpc-v3` namespace scanner capability and activity handshake: old peers and legacy internode transports lack the authenticated startup-epoch handshake. The oldest peers send an empty activity request and receive a field-empty protocol-0 response. Protocol v4 binds the challenge and response topology but cannot authenticate distributed dirty-usage state. Protocol v5 binds the request version, acknowledgement target and generation, and the response dirty-usage state, but predates set-scoped scanner cache locks. Current protocol v6 additionally fences scanner cache lock-domain changes, so distributed scanner cycles publish usage only after every peer reports protocol v6 state. Servers retain protocol-0 and protocol-v4 codecs for rolling upgrades, while protocol-v5 peers are treated as previous-version peers that cannot safely participate in the new cache lock domain. Scanner selection treats HTTP 404/405/426 and the legacy MethodNotAllowed default as an explicit lack of remote scanner v3 support and assigns those disks to coordinator-driven workers; transient capability failures remain incomplete and do not activate the fallback. Remove the coordinator fallback after the minimum supported RustFS peer version implements namespace scanner protocol v3, remove protocol-0 activity requests and responses after every supported peer implements authenticated scanner activity protocol v4, remove the protocol-v4 activity codec after every supported peer implements protocol v5, and remove protocol-v5 previous-version rejection after every supported peer implements protocol v6; future protocol revisions must keep the same dual-version server/codec window before changing the advertised version.
- `#4648` walk-dir stream completion capability: old clients can append fallback output to an already-used metacache writer after a terminal body error, so servers emit terminal walk errors only to clients that sign the `walk_dir_stream_completion=error-v1` query capability and its request-body digest. Remove the legacy clean-EOF path after the minimum supported RustFS peer version always advertises this capability.
- `heal-rpc-auth-v2` internode gRPC authentication: servers temporarily accept legacy prefix signatures so old peers remain available during rolling upgrades. Remove the legacy fallback after the minimum supported RustFS peer version sends v2 authentication on every internode gRPC request.
- `disk-mutation-body-digest` internode mutating disk RPCs: servers temporarily accept mutating disk RPCs (RenameData, DeleteVersion, DeleteVersions, WriteMetadata, UpdateMetadata, WriteAll, Delete, DeletePaths, RenameFile, RenamePart, DeleteVolume, MakeVolume, MakeVolumes) that carry no signature-bound canonical body digest, so peers from releases that predate body-digest signing remain available during rolling upgrades. Accepted digestless mutations increment the internode body-digest fallback counter; that counter must read zero fleet-wide across a release window before RUSTFS_INTERNODE_RPC_BODY_DIGEST_STRICT is enabled. Because body-bound requests now consume replay-cache nonces on the receiver, deploy the raised RUSTFS_INTERNODE_RPC_REPLAY_CACHE_CAPACITY default fleet-wide before enabling strict mode, and watch the internode replay-cache overflow counter for undersized capacity during the rollout. Remove the digestless fallback after the minimum supported RustFS peer version body-binds every mutating disk RPC.
- `heal-status-rpc-v1` node heal status capability: new peers treat an unimplemented BackgroundHealStatus RPC as an explicitly incomplete rolling-upgrade response. Remove the fallback after the minimum supported RustFS peer version implements BackgroundHealStatus.
- `backlog-1316` legacy encrypted multipart range seek: the feature remains opt-in until every server that can initiate, write, or complete multipart uploads supports the candidate-to-final marker protocol and uploadId commit lock, and pre-upgrade multipart uploads have drained. Remove the RUSTFS_ENCRYPTED_RANGE_SEEK switch after the minimum supported release does so; keep the quorum marker and malformed-layout full-read guards permanently.
- `tonic-013-status-render` peer RPC failure classification: internode failures that reach a node only as text (a peer's error_info payload, a status flattened through format!) are classified by matching the rendering of an Unavailable gRPC status. Releases up to 1.0.0-alpha.38 shipped tonic 0.13, which rendered that status as "status: Unavailable, message: ..."; tonic 0.14 renders it as "code: 'The service is currently unavailable', message: ...". Both forms are matched so an older peer's relayed text still marks an unreachable peer offline. Remove the tonic 0.13 form after the minimum supported RustFS peer version ships tonic 0.14 or later.
- `rustfs-5063` pre-beta.9 Local KMS recovery: persisted Local KMS configs from beta.8 and earlier predate the explicit insecure-development flag, and encrypted key files use the legacy SHA-256 KDF. Remove the config fallback after supported upgrades have rewritten or explicitly resaved all pre-beta.9 configs with the development-default field, and remove the legacy KDF after supported upgrades have rewritten all pre-beta.9 Local KMS key files with explicit at-rest protection.
- `sse-local-dek-json-v1` legacy local SSE DEK decoding: releases before the JSON envelope wrote wrapped DEKs as `base64(nonce):base64(ciphertext)`, so readers retain that decoder while all new writes use the versioned JSON envelope. Remove the colon decoder after the minimum supported direct-upgrade release writes JSON envelopes and migration tooling has rewritten every retained legacy object.

## Review Checklist

Before completing a PR that adds wrappers, re-exports, fallbacks, legacy action
mappings, or old endpoint compatibility layers:

- [ ] The source has a `RUSTFS_COMPAT_TODO(<task-id>)` marker.
- [ ] This register has a matching entry.
- [ ] The entry states why compatibility is needed.
- [ ] The entry states the exact removal condition.
- [ ] The cleanup is not bundled with new migration logic.
