 ## Summary of Changes
 <!--
-Briefly explain what changed and why reviewers should accept it.
-Focus on behavior, compatibility, and review-relevant context.
+Describe the concrete problem and resulting behavior. For a behavior change, name the input or state that triggers it and the expected outcome. Explain any new dependency or abstraction that the change needs.
 -->
 
 ## Verification
 <!--
-List the commands or checks you ran, for example:
-- `make pre-commit`
+Give 1–3 concrete pieces of evidence for the changed behavior: the test or command, its observed result, and the regression it catches. For a bug fix, record a failing-before/passing-after check or explain why it was unavailable.
 
-Use N/A only when verification is not applicable.
+Identify the tested commit and any local changes. When testing a prebuilt binary or external service, include its source/version and artifact identity; a successful run against a different build is not evidence for this change.
+
+List relevant checks not run and the remaining risk. Use the validation tier in AGENTS.md; do not run broader checks solely to fill this section. For documentation-only changes, list the applicable documentation checks. Use N/A only when verification is not applicable.

+# minio-go Snowball fixtures
+
+These request bodies are generated by
+`github.com/minio/minio-go/v7.Client.PutObjectsSnowball` at the version pinned
+in `generate/go.mod`. They cover the raw TAR and S2-compressed forms accepted by
+RustFS Snowball extraction.
+
+The decoded TAR intentionally ends immediately after the final padded member
+body because minio-go flushes, rather than closes, its TAR writer. The
+compatibility test permits that shape only when the authenticated request body
+is complete at the exact member boundary; it does not make incomplete TAR
+terminators generally valid.
+
+Regenerate them from this directory with Go 1.25:
+
+```console
+cd generate
+go mod download
+go run . -out ..
+```
+
+`manifest.json` records the input objects and SHA-256 digest of each captured
+request body. Review changes to the manifest and binary fixtures together when
+updating minio-go.
