+Scanner cycle budget controls:

+- When `RUSTFS_SCANNER_CYCLE_MAX_DURATION_SECS` is unset, the finite default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes), matching the scanner benchmark guidance.
+- An explicit `0` preserves the compatibility behavior of an unbounded runtime budget. Object and directory budgets likewise remain unbounded when explicitly set to `0`.
+- A timed-out cycle cancels cooperative scanner work, then fences its leader epoch before releasing the lease. An uncooperative I/O operation is dropped after the bounded shutdown window; its cursor is not claimed to be durable and the scanner reports `recovery-required` when the worker cannot stop cooperatively, the cycle state was not confirmed durable, or epoch fencing cannot be persisted.

+When the cycle duration control is unset, RustFS uses a finite 1800-second
+(30-minute) default, matching the scanner benchmark guidance. An explicit `0`
+preserves the compatibility behavior of an unbounded cycle; object and
+directory budgets likewise remain unbounded when explicitly set to `0`. Invalid

+late cycle, usage, cache, and remote writes from the old generation fail closed.
+If the worker cannot stop cooperatively, the cycle state was not confirmed
+durable, or that epoch fence cannot be durably persisted, the scanner reports
