 ## Summary of Changes
 <!--
-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.
+Briefly explain what changed and why reviewers should accept it.
+Focus on behavior, compatibility, and review-relevant context.
 -->

 ## Verification
 <!--
-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.
+List the commands or checks you ran, for example:
+- `make pre-commit`

-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.
+Use N/A only when verification is not applicable.

-# 4-node 4-disk distributed e2e lane.
-#
-# Each selected test starts a real localhost cluster via
-# `RustFSTestClusterEnvironment` (4 processes; 4 drives per node unless the
-# case is a two-site 4-node 1-drive pair or a 4-node upgrade). Membership is
-# `[profile.e2e-distributed]` in `.config/nextest.toml`. Storage-sensitive PRs,
-# nightly runs, and manual dispatches all execute the same fail-closed suite.
-# Upgrade cases download the same pinned previous release as e2e-upgrade.yml.
-#
-# Isolated pool filesystems: expand/decommission/rebalance cases require
-# independent `statfs` capacity. This job runs on GitHub-hosted
-# `ubuntu-latest` because the self-hosted `sm-standard-4` ARC pods cannot
-# create filesystems: `mount -o loop` fails with ENOENT (no
-# `/dev/loop-control`), and `mount -t tmpfs` fails with "cannot mount tmpfs
-# read-only" (no `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` in the initial namespace). The same reason
-# `uring-integration` and `e2e-s3tests.yml` left that label. The prepare
-# step mounts four 1 GiB tmpfs instances and exports `RUSTFS_E2E_POOL_ROOTS`.

  - Read paths: an object at or below `policy.inline_max_bytes` (16 MiB by default) is teed to the client and to the local store in a single source read; a larger object or a Range read streams through and a background pull stores the whole object. A HEAD miss is proxied to the source and stores nothing (`policy.head = local_only` disables it). Every source-backed response carries `x-rustfs-on-demand-migration: source`
  - Protections: a per-source circuit breaker, a per-key negative cache, singleflight per key, a concurrency limit and a bounded pull queue shared by the inline and background paths, an optional bandwidth limit, an anti-loop request marker, and the shared outbound-endpoint (SSRF) policy
  - Metrics under `rustfs_on_demand_migration_*` (`requests_total`, `pulled_bytes_total`, `pulled_objects_total`, `pull_failures_total`, `inflight_pulls`, `queue_depth`, `source_latency_seconds_*`, `breaker_state`), mirrored per node by the admin status route
-  - Listings: `ListObjects` v1 remains local with ordinary key markers. `ListObjectsV2` can merge source objects when `policy.list_through = true`; this is off by default
-  - Upgrade and rollback: finish upgrading every node before enabling ODM. An rc.5 node that writes bucket configuration drops the ODM fields from metadata; neither a later restart nor moving the service out of ECStore recovers them. Before rollback, disable ODM and securely retain the original full configuration and credentials. After every node returns to a compatible version, restore and validate that configuration. Redacted exports cannot replace the credential backup; source-only objects are unavailable through RustFS while ODM is disabled. See the upgrade and rollback section of `docs/operations/on-demand-migration.md`
-  - Optional Google dependencies: default and `full` server builds retain native GCS support. `cargo build -p rustfs --no-default-features --features ftps,webdav` excludes Google SDKs while preserving configuration decoding and redaction; native GCS ODM and tier operations require the `gcs` feature. Do not use that build with existing GCS-tiered data
-  - Limitations: PUT and DELETE never reach the source; a source object updated after it was pulled is not re-fetched; SSE-C source objects are unsupported and answer 424; `Last-Modified` on a pulled object is the local write time, with the source timestamp kept in metadata

A NATS Core publish flushes to the connection without awaiting a broker acknowledgement, so an event can be lost across a broker restart or a reconnect after the send queue has already cleared it. A queued event now clears only after the JetStream `PublishAck`, so bucket notifications survive those interruptions. Off by default and byte-identical to the NATS Core path when disabled.

 ### 🔒 Git Pre-commit Hooks (optional)

-The optional hook uses the checked-in `.pre-commit-config.yaml`. Install [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/#installation), then run this from the checkout or a linked worktree:
+Git hooks are **not** versioned in this repository, so a fresh clone has no
+active pre-commit hook. If you add your own `.git/hooks/pre-commit` (a good
+choice is a one-liner that runs `make pre-commit`), you can mark it executable
+with:

 ```bash
 make setup-hooks
 ```

-The hook runs `cargo fmt --all --check` when staged files include Rust source. It does not compile the workspace or run tests. Fix formatting with `cargo fmt --all`, inspect and stage the result, then commit again.
+Or manually:

-`pre-commit install` resolves Git's hook directory for linked worktrees and preserves an existing hook in migration mode. If you use `core.hooksPath`, keep that hook manager and integrate `pre-commit run` there; the installer refuses to silently replace that configuration.
+```bash
+chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
+```

-A local hook provides early formatting feedback. With or without it, follow the verification tiers in `AGENTS.md`, run relevant behavioral tests, and satisfy the CI merge gates. `make pre-commit` and `make dev-check` remain explicit broader commands.
+With or without a hook, follow the verification tiers in `AGENTS.md`. Run the
+applicable scoped checks, and reserve `make pre-pr` for broad cross-module
+changes whose impact cannot be bounded by those checks.

-//! 4-node upgrade coverage for historical objects and IAM AK/SK.

-//! Complements `upgrade_compatibility_test` (single-node SSE/multipart and
-//! mixed-version listing). This module pins the distributed contract the
-//! hardware upgrade chain is meant to catch: after a 4-node upgrade, objects
-//! written on the previous release still read back, and IAM user credentials
-//! created before the upgrade still authenticate.
-//!
-//! Requires `RUSTFS_UPGRADE_SOURCE_BINARY` pointing at the pinned previous
-//! release. The `e2e-distributed` workflow downloads that binary; a local run
-//! without it fails closed rather than skipping.
