+//! Memoized bucket-incarnation validation under continuous lifecycle read-lock
+//! coverage.
+//!
+//! The PUT commit fence introduced by #5648 validated the bucket incarnation
+//! with an uncached read (`get_bucket_incarnation_id_from_disk`: a distributed
+//! metadata-transaction read lock plus an EC quorum read of the bucket
+//! metadata) on every PUT commit. Under small-object write load that is two
+//! extra quorum round-trips per PUT, and the resulting lock-manager pressure
+//! produced sustained `Lock acquisition timeout` errors (~1,000 client-visible
+//! failures per 5-minute 64-concurrency window in benchmarks).
+//!
+//! The memo exploits the fence's own locking protocol: bucket deletion and
+//! recreation take the bucket lifecycle WRITE lock, while every fenced PUT
+//! holds a lifecycle READ lock for the whole commit. Therefore, while at least
+//! one lifecycle read guard on this node has been held continuously, no
+//! lifecycle write lock can have been granted anywhere in the cluster, so the
+//! bucket incarnation cannot have changed. The first fenced PUT in such a
+//! coverage window pays the authoritative disk validation exactly as before;
+//! subsequent PUTs whose guards overlap that window compare against the
+//! memoized value. When the node's last guard drops — or any guard observes
+//! `is_lock_lost` — the memo is cleared and the next PUT revalidates from
+//! disk.
+//!
+//! The memo is deliberately per-node process state (not a cross-node cache):
+//! its validity is derived purely from locks this process itself holds, so
+//! best-effort peer cache invalidation (which is why the fence read from disk
+//! in the first place) is irrelevant to its correctness.
