The tracker never influenced traversal: walkdir's follow behavior is
fixed up front by follow_links(), and should_follow() only gated the
tracker's own bookkeeping. Its 'depth limit' compared tree depth (not
symlink chain depth), so RUSTFS_CAPACITY_MAX_SYMLINK_DEPTH was a
complete no-op while its telemetry claimed symlinks were skipped that
walkdir had in fact followed and counted; record_symlink was always
called with size 0, so tracked_bytes never left zero (S12).
Remove the tracker, its skipped/summary events, the symlink metric and
the depth env knob end to end (the env's 'as u8' truncation goes with
it), and document the real semantics at the walker: follow_links(true)
counts targets with walkdir's ancestor-loop detection breaking cycles,
follow_links(false) — the default — counts no symlink targets. The scan
root itself is pre-resolved since backlog#1015.

Progress/timeout checks only ran when file_count advanced, so trees of
directory-only or error-dense entries (dirs, traversal errors, symlinks
never increment file_count) bypassed the entire cooperative time budget
and held the blocking thread for unbounded time, while each error entry
logged its own warn — permission-dense trees flooded the log (S13).
The stall detector was structurally unreachable: it fired on 'no file
progress between checks', but checks themselves only ran when file
progress happened, so RUSTFS_CAPACITY_STALL_TIMEOUT never did anything
since its introduction (S09).
- Progress checks (timeout + early-sampling entry) are now driven by a
visited-entry counter that also advances on directories and errors, so
every tree shape reaches the budget checks.
- Remove the unreachable stall detector and its plumbing end to end
(ProgressMonitor fields, ScanLimits, config getter, env const, stall
metric). Genuine walker wedges are handled by the hard outer
wall-clock budget from backlog#1017; no decorative protection is left.
- Cap per-entry error warns at 10 per scan with an explicit suppression
notice; had_partial_errors still records the condition.

Remove or consolidate 57 test cases that cannot catch regressions
(literal-constant asserts, construct-then-assert, derived-serde
round-trips, near-duplicate env/getter matrices) in common, config,
iam, madmin, and object-capacity, keeping all wire-format and
error-path guards. Add 13 tests for previously uncovered high-risk
behavior: filemeta version-sort determinism and merge resilience to
garbage headers, zip extraction path-traversal rejection and exact
limit boundaries, JWT tampered-signature rejection, and the bytes
variant of dual-key (rustfs/minio) metadata fallback and precedence.
Test-only change; no production code touched.
