chore(gateway): merge main into integration

Port main's changes into integration's relocated code: the XML compatibility
body bound and presigned-guard tests into legacy_compat, the policy-condition
fixes (#9150, #9159, #9163) into auth facts and the owned admin request API,
and record native publications on main's new fused delete-recovery paths.

+Create the host directories and grant the container user write access before starting this example; official images run as UID/GID `10001:10001`. Set both credential variables to your own values, then run `docker compose config` to inspect the resolved configuration locally before `docker compose up -d`. The resolved output includes credentials, so do not share it publicly.
+
+With list syntax, use `- RUSTFS_OBS_LOG_DIRECTORY=/var/log/rustfs/` or quote the whole item as `- "RUSTFS_OBS_LOG_DIRECTORY=/var/log/rustfs/"`. Writing `- RUSTFS_OBS_LOG_DIRECTORY="/var/log/rustfs/"` passes the inner quotes literally, making this a relative path beginning with `"`, which can fail with `mkdir: cannot create directory '"': Permission denied`. This also applies to addresses and credentials: fix every affected list item, rather than only the log directory. The entrypoint preserves configured values, including literal quotes in valid paths and secrets.

 - IAM snapshot/deletion replay, target-assigned delete-marker purges, timestamp ordering, and best-effort peer broadcast now close the control-plane gaps found by the R6 review ([#7195](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/pull/7195)).
 - A `set-remote-target?update=true&creds=true` request on a site-replication peer's bucket target is now rejected with `400 InvalidRequest`, naming the target and why it counts as peer-owned. It used to return success while keeping the stored endpoint, credentials, and TLS settings, so an endpoint edit from the Console's bucket replication form appeared to apply but did not. Change a peer's address with a site-replication edit instead; see "Changing a site's address" in `docs/operations/site-replication-operations.md`. The `sync`, `bandwidth`, `proxy`, and `path` update groups are unchanged.
 - Site-replication edits that omit the site name, such as `mc admin replicate update --deployment-id <ID> --endpoint <URL>`, now keep the stored name on the editing site and on every receiver instead of renaming the site after the new endpoint host. No persisted format changes.
+- The persisted replication MRF journal is now replayed every 5 minutes while the server runs, not only at startup. Delete-marker purges whose targets were unreachable, and replications that overflowed the worker queues, now converge within one replay interval after the target returns instead of waiting for a restart. A target that stays down is re-attempted once per retained entry per interval across the cluster: the start time of the last pass is shared through a small `config/replication/mrf.bin.replay` object, so nodes do not each replay once per interval. Older versions ignore that object; existing persisted formats are unchanged.
 - Upgrade and rollback: upgrade every node in one site consecutively and verify reconciliation before moving to the next site; do not intentionally run a site mixed-version. Target-version ledger keys are harmless on rollback, although old code cannot use their routing. Before rolling back past [#7307](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/pull/7307), drain or repair every pending version purge: older code can free a retained version's data directory before its remote purge is acknowledged. See `docs/operations/site-replication-operations.md`.

+# RustFS image bootstrap
+
+The official image bundles this directory at `/etc/rustfs/bootstrap`. The default `buckets.json` is an empty JSON array, so the image starts RustFS directly and does not require a bootstrap endpoint or bootstrap credentials.
+
+To create buckets, replace `buckets.json` in a derived image with a JSON array of bucket names. The entrypoint creates each bucket if it does not exist and applies `public-access-block.json`, whose default blocks all four public access paths. Edit that file in the derived image only when public access is an explicit requirement.
+
+Optional per-bucket files use the bucket name as the filename without an extension:
+
+| Directory | File format | Applied operation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `policies/` | S3 bucket policy JSON | `rc bucket anonymous set-json` |
+| `versioning/` | JSON boolean (`true` or `false`) | Enable or suspend bucket versioning |
+| `lifecycle/` | `rc bucket lifecycle rule import` JSON | Replace lifecycle rules |
+| `cors/` | JSON or XML accepted by `rc bucket cors set` | Replace CORS rules |
+| `notifications/` | JSON array of `{ "arn": "...", "events": ["..."] }` | Add or replace event rules by ARN (prefix/suffix filters are not currently accepted) |
+
+Every per-bucket file must correspond to a bucket listed in `buckets.json`. Applying these files is repeatable: bucket creation ignores existing buckets, while each configuration operation replaces or reconciles that bucket's requested state.
+
+When `buckets.json` is non-empty, set `RUSTFS_BOOTSTRAP_ENDPOINT` to the RustFS S3 endpoint reachable from the container, for example `http://rustfs:9000` for a Compose service or the internal service DNS name in Kubernetes. The entrypoint waits on that endpoint's `/health/ready`; it never assumes `localhost`. `RUSTFS_BOOTSTRAP_TIMEOUT` controls the readiness wait in seconds (default `120`, maximum `3600`). `RUSTFS_BOOTSTRAP_DIR` can point to a different in-image configuration directory; it defaults to `/etc/rustfs/bootstrap`. Set `RUSTFS_ACCESS_KEY` and `RUSTFS_SECRET_KEY`, or their `_FILE` variants, for bootstrap authentication. The endpoint and credentials are read at runtime and are not baked into the image.
+
+RustFS built-in IAM policies remain unchanged; the default bootstrap installs no custom bucket policies, lifecycle rules, versioning, CORS rules, or notification rules. The bundled RustFS CLI is resolved from a published release and its release checksum is verified. Set the Docker build argument `RC_RELEASE` to a version to pin it. Build the RustFS image after a CLI release containing the `bucket public-access-block` commands is available. For Kubernetes, the configured service must route traffic to the starting pod before its readiness probe succeeds (for example, with `publishNotReadyAddresses: true`); otherwise the service endpoint cannot reach the pod while the entrypoint waits for readiness.

+//! Dual-stack differential: one `rustfs` binary, two processes, one SDK script (rustfs/backlog#2740).
+//!
+//! Stack A always runs `RUSTFS_S3_STACK=legacy`. Stack B runs the value of `RUSTFS_E2E_STACK_B`
+//! (default `legacy` until the gateway stack is assembled), and `RUSTFS_E2E_STACK_B_REGION`, when
+//! set, starts B in another region so that a difference can be injected by hand. Both servers
+//! answer the script in `scenarios`, which covers every operation of `impl S3 for FS`; `compare`
+//! reports each `(op, field, a, b)` on which the answers differ, and every run writes its report
+//! to `<target>/dual-stack/<run>.json`. Two processes, not two embedded servers: bucket metadata
+//! is process-global, so two stacks in one process would read each other's buckets.
