-When every current topology member answers the exact `transition_transaction_compaction_v1` capability challenge, a writer may hold that generation's non-cloneable proof permit and emit the compact v1 profile:
-
-```text
-UploadOutcomeUnknown@1 -> LocalCommitStarted@2 -> conditional record delete
-```
-
-The create-only `UploadOutcomeUnknown@1` record is durable before the remote PUT. After PUT succeeds, the writer revalidates the source, Object Lock decision, tier generation, and fleet proof before one exact successor CAS to `LocalCommitStarted@2`; that successor carries the known remote version. After the local metadata commit, the writer conditionally deletes that exact record rather than persisting a redundant `Committed` generation. A crash before the PUT leaves an unknown record whose provider probe can prove absence. A crash after PUT leaves the canonical candidate under the unknown record. A crash after the commit fence leaves the exact remote tuple under `LocalCommitStarted`, and a crash after local commit lets recovery prove ownership transfer and remove only the record.
-
-The `UploadOutcomeUnknown@1 -> LocalCommitStarted@2` pair is the only compact direct edge. Legacy `UploadOutcomeUnknown@2 -> LocalCommitStarted@3` remains invalid, while historical receipt jumps keep their separately enumerated revision distances. This distinction lets existing v1 payload readers decode compact records without treating arbitrary skipped history as valid. If any peer is absent, old, unreachable, restarted with a different process epoch, or the topology changes, proof publication/revalidation fails closed and new attempts use the legacy profile. Planned downgrade first disables compact admission and drains live compact records; an older runtime reader retains or safely reconciles the v1 states, but an older decommission checkpoint validator can reject the compact successor and block pool completion.
-
 Separately, `mark_cleanup_pending` permits proof-checked model edges from `Uploaded`, `UploadOutcomeUnknown`, and `LocalCommitStarted`. Current production recovery emits `CleanupPending` after an expired `Uploaded` record wins the exact successor CAS, or when an expired `UploadOutcomeUnknown` probe returns `UnversionedPresent` or `VersionedPresent` with a non-nil identifier. `LocalCommitStarted` mismatch or missing-source recovery retains the record; that cleanup edge is currently exercised through the state-machine API and tests, not produced by runtime recovery. States that require a remote delete still require a known `TransitionRemoteVersion` kind. A probed versioned candidate whose identifier parses as a nil UUID is retained and never authorizes remote deletion.

 The remote candidate itself is named by `canonical_transition_remote_object` under `ilm/transition-transactions/<bucket-hash>/<transaction shards>/<transaction-id>/<write-id>`. That deterministic identity is what a provider probe or exact cleanup must bind; it is distinct from the internal transaction-record key.

 The coordinator creates its durable record and peer `Prepare` blocks new reference creation, drains exact tier-operation leases, and proves that edit/remove/clear will not strand authoritative references. Prepare, Commit, and Abort use all-node fanout rather than quorum: independent peer calls use a work-conserving concurrency limit of four, a 30-second per-peer deadline, and a 30-second fanout-wide deadline; Prepare is additionally capped by the intent expiry. The coordinator collects every completed outcome. A timed-out or otherwise ambiguous started Prepare is included in compensating Abort because cancellation does not prove the peer failed to persist its fence; peers not started before the fanout deadline make Prepare fail but do not require Abort. The coordinator then conditionally writes tier config, durably commits the coordinator intent, releases its exclusive guards, requires every prepared peer to commit, publishes the runtime candidate, and clears the block. Per-mutation sharded mutexes serialize local phases only; persisted intent plus tier-config ETag is authoritative.

-Terminal recovery does not reinstall a process-local operation fence when the published in-memory manager has the exact committed candidate digest. This exception affects only ordinary tier-operation leases: recovery still replays peer `Commit`, retains and conditionally cleans the durable evidence, and blocks a new tier configuration mutation until the recovery snapshot is quiescent. A different local digest remains fenced until the committed candidate is safely published.

 ### Current format compatibility decisions

-| Transition transaction v1 | Writers emit v1. A homogeneous live capability permits the compact `UploadOutcomeUnknown@1 -> LocalCommitStarted@2` profile; otherwise writers retain the legacy profile. The payload decoder rejects another schema, bad checksum, unknown state, or inconsistent transaction/remote identity. The current record-path parser accepts any shard/extra-component layout and uppercase hex when the final 32-hex UUID parses and matches the payload | There is no intentional ignore path, but exact lowercase canonical-path rejection remains an approved fix. During rolling upgrade, an unsupported or unavailable peer forces legacy writes. Before downgrade, disable compact admission and drain compact records because older decommission validators may conservatively reject the direct successor. V1 remains the only writer format until the approved v2 fleet gate is implemented; a v2 reader never rewrites an active v1 record |

-## Cleanup With The Scanner Disabled
-
-With `RUSTFS_SCANNER_ENABLED=false`, startup makes one controlled attempt to finish a previously persisted cycle reset whose validated recovery marker is already `cleanup-pending`. This is metadata cleanup only: it does not start the ordinary scanner loop, scan namespaces, accept a new reset request, or automatically perform a usage-state `full-rebuild`. Missing, merely `blocked`, unknown-version, unknown-phase, or corrupt markers do not authorize an automatic reset.
-
-The attempt uses the existing leader lock and revalidates the observed marker revision and phase after acquiring it. A busy leader or data-movement pause leaves the marker intact and is reported through `cycle_recovery.state` and `cycle_recovery.reason` in the existing scanner status response. There is no automatic retry loop while disabled. After resolving the blocker, explicitly retry `POST /v3/scanner/cycle-state/reset` with `{"mode":"full-rescan"}`, or restart to make another controlled attempt. The v3 reset routes remain synchronous and return their existing successful HTTP 200 responses; no asynchronous HTTP 202 acceptance is introduced.
-
-The startup probe is cancellation-aware and uses the existing cache persistence I/O timeout. Shutdown waits only for the existing server shutdown timeout. If the cleanup task cannot join in that window, the `scanner_cleanup_not_joined` warning means completion is unconfirmed, not drained. The task is not force-aborted or force-unlocked while its runtime remains alive; it retains its existing namespace/admission guards, and durable marker/fence state remains authoritative. Inspect status before retrying. This does not establish a hard deadline for an unresponsive storage operation or prove that I/O has drained when the process or runtime subsequently exits. Task-ownership timeout tests are not storage fsync, commit-tail, or process-crash durability evidence.
-
 ## Data Movement Pauses

 RustFS uses a `global_pause` policy while pool decommission or rebalance can hide scanner metadata: usage publication, lifecycle discovery, tier cleanup discovery, scanner-originated heal and bitrot checks, and replication discovery are deferred together. A failed or canceled decommission remains a publication barrier until an operator retries or clears it. The same pause and estimate objects are included in `GET /v3/ilm/expiry/status`.

-### Admin heal start, retries, and budgets
-
-Admin heal has three separate budgets. Increasing one does not extend the others:
-
-| Budget | Existing behavior |
-|---|---|
-| Control request | A start/query/cancel envelope has a bounded lifetime derived from the internode RPC timeout, with room for the transport response. It bounds control execution, not the admitted repair task. The HTTP caller can also stop waiting independently. |
-| Task execution | `RUSTFS_HEAL_TASK_TIMEOUT_SECS` supplies the default of 300 seconds when the execution has no explicit timeout. Elapsed execution time is deducted before a recoverable scheduler retry, which keeps the request identity and remaining budget. Object/listing backoff and pressure pacing inside an execution consume that budget; time queued or in the scheduler's between-attempt backoff is not a new absolute wall-clock deadline. Zero is not an unlimited execution budget. |
-| Object/listing retry | A recursive bucket/prefix traversal retries recoverable failures at most three times after the initial attempt, with 2/4/8-second delays plus the existing task-derived jitter. Object retries also obey the bounded delayed window and its 30-second age, checked at safe boundaries; listing retries keep their cursor. These limits do not extend the task execution budget or force an in-flight storage operation to finish within the retry age. |
-
-For a large admin heal, select a finite configured execution budget appropriate to the expected work and contention, and inspect progress while it runs. Investigate stalled work and object failures before increasing this budget; a larger timeout must not hide lock or quorum problems. A longer HTTP or internode timeout does not keep a repair task alive past its execution budget. A successful start response returns the canonical token for accepted or merged work; it does not prove that repair has completed. Query that token without `forceStart`; terminal timeout/cancellation reports retain completed progress while the task report remains available.
-
-Capability preflight runs before constructing and admitting a start request. However, the public `cluster heal coordination unavailable` error can also follow a transport failure or an invalid coordinator response after a request was sent. An unknown or lost HTTP response is therefore not proof that no task was admitted.
-
-The coordinator can replay the result of the exact original RPC envelope within its existing replay lifetime and coordinator epoch. Reusing an ID with changed parameters or nonce is rejected. This bounded, process-local receipt cache is not a general HTTP idempotency key or a restart-surviving admission receipt. Each new HTTP start constructs a new request/envelope, and a fresh `forceStart` intentionally requests a distinct start: do not automatically resend it after an ambiguous response. A fresh non-forced request follows the configured overlap policy, rather than recovering the original receipt. The v3 API rejects `forceStart` combined with `clientToken` or `forceStop`.
-
-Implementation references: `rustfs/src/admin/handlers/heal.rs` (`submit_cluster_heal_start`, `new_heal_control_metadata`), `rustfs/src/storage/rpc/node_service.rs` (`execute_heal_control_envelope_with_manager`), `crates/protos/src/lib.rs` (`heal_control_execution_timeout`), and `crates/heal/src/heal/task.rs` (`retry_request_with_remaining_timeout`, `remaining_timeout`, `bucket_object_retry_delay`). These contracts do not replace the separate real response-loss, long-task, or start-latency validation lanes.
-
 ### Running admin heal pacing

 The manager passes its existing workload provider and a configuration snapshot into each admin execution. Bucket/prefix listing and object boundaries resample foreground pressure; erasure-set page workers also resample after earlier work releases page capacity. `High`, `Urgent`, and `force_start` do not exempt ordinary admin execution from this runtime pacing. The existing start-time bypass and overlap-control meanings are unchanged.
@@ -327,24 +301,6 @@ The pacing gate holds neither namespace locks nor I/O/page permits while sleepin

 A missing provider, zero pause, or both class thresholds set to zero preserves unpaced execution. Missing counts follow the existing shared pressure interpreter; they are observations, not health, quorum or resource-ownership proof. The current provider exposes node-level workload classes, so this does not claim independent per-set foreground measurements or a hard global resource budget. Runtime waits increment `rustfs_heal_mainline_throttle_total` with `source=admin`, `result=delayed`, and a foreground-pressure or `recovery_window` reason. Real p99/throughput protection requires the separate W20 fixed-load ABBA measurements.

-## Pending Heal Hints
-
-The scanner's persisted pending-heal cache is a best-effort retry backstop, bounded to 10,000 hints per bucket and a 24-hour age limit. These limits do not authorize garbage collection of committed durable repair obligations. A durable owner must retain its independent replay record until verified object completion or an equivalent durable successor permits removal.
-
-Accepted, merged, or policy-dropped admission does not clear an existing hint. Task completion and legacy repair notices also lack the incarnation, set scope, generation, and storage verification needed to prove repair responsibility was discharged. The legacy success path therefore retains hints conservatively; this is not a complete durable MRF handoff protocol.
-
-Pending retries use their persisted attempt count and last-attempt timestamp, starting at 15 minutes and doubling up to six hours. Each bucket submits at most 128 due hints per cycle. Already admitted or policy-dropped hints retry at Low priority; queue-full hints keep High priority but obey the same due-time bound. A changed retry batch synchronizes its pending cache once, including when cancelled, rather than copying the entire table after every admission.
-
-Rediscovery and admission observations update the recorded result but do not postpone an already armed retry. The actual retry loop advances the attempt count and timestamp before awaiting admission, so cancellation or repeated queue-full results cannot reset the retry budget.
-
-| Producer | Current identity and compensation | Durable handoff boundary |
-|---|---|---|
-| Scanner corrupt metadata | Metadata kind with no invented version/set; an existing pending-cache hint remains available for bounded retries. | Cache publication is separate from MRF ingress. Its age/count limits mean it is not an irrevocable repair-obligation ledger. |
-| Read decode failure | Decode kind, available version and erasure-set scope; a later failing read can rediscover the repair. | Nonblocking ingress and in-memory read-repair admission do not acknowledge durable acceptance. |
-| Partial write | Partial-write kind, available version and erasure-set scope; an in-memory heal request is the fast path. | The caller's documented restart-survival requirement is not fulfilled by ignoring the ingress result or by removing the unaccepted journal record at manager admission. Verified durable ownership remains pending. |
-
-Legacy notices carry only bucket/object/version, not a verified storage disposition, incarnation, scope, or durable responsibility generation. They are drained without clearing hints. Terminal callbacks release only their exact node-local ingress lease so rediscovery remains possible; lease generations are not durable successor receipts. Pending migration staging is not activated, and this change does not enable durable tombstones or garbage collection. Positive cleanup requires a storage-owner receipt with the complete responsibility identity and validated commit/fence evidence; neither task status nor the bounded diagnostic outcome window supplies it.

 Historical transition transactions in `upload_outcome_unknown` state can use an explicit two-stage operator workflow when the tier probe is ambiguous and the provider supports exact version deletion. The endpoint refuses transactions that are still inside their ownership window or are in any other state.

-Current fleets can produce two valid v1 state profiles. The legacy profile begins at `upload_started@1` and normally reaches `upload_outcome_unknown@2`, `uploaded`, `local_commit_started`, and `committed`. The compact profile is admitted only while every current member proves `transition_transaction_compaction_v1`; it begins at `upload_outcome_unknown@1` and moves directly to `local_commit_started@2` with a known remote version. Treat `upload_outcome_unknown@1` as a pre-PUT fence, not proof that PUT ran. Treat `local_commit_started@2` as an exact commit fence: if the matching `xl.meta` tuple is complete, recovery removes only the record; otherwise it retains the owner evidence. Do not rewrite either state by hand. An unavailable or older peer automatically makes new transitions use the legacy profile.

overtrue	3ae29aab26	test(ecstore): wait for namespace owner release before asserting The namespace owner tests decided that ownership had ended when the Weak probe stopped upgrading or when the mutation lease could be reacquired. Both signals fire before the owner guard's Drop decrements the pending counter: Arc releases its strong count before running Drop, and the lease drops its locks before its owner field. The rio-v2 lane hit that window in undo_fresh_version_keeps_physical_namespace_owner_after_timeout. Extend every drain wait to also require namespace_commits_pending() to be false, so the assertions observe the completed release instead of racing it.	2026-09-06 10:09:44 +08:00
