  - 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
-  - Limitations: listings show only local objects (the source is not merged into `ListObjectsV2`); 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
+  - 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

 - **NATS JetStream Publish Path**: Opt-in at-least-once delivery for the NATS notify and audit targets. 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.
  - Three configuration keys per target: `JETSTREAM_ENABLE`, `JETSTREAM_STREAM_NAME`, and `JETSTREAM_ACK_TIMEOUT_SECS`, under the `RUSTFS_NOTIFY_NATS_` and `RUSTFS_AUDIT_NATS_` prefixes
  - Durable store-and-forward with a stable dedup id sent as the `Nats-Msg-Id` header, so a replay after a crash is collapsed by the server duplicate window

+//! Requires `RUSTFS_UPGRADE_SOURCE_BINARY` pointing at the pinned previous

 The pull pipeline has no separate loop of its own: a bucket's queue dispatcher starts lazily on the first background pull and is cancelled when the bucket's state is rebuilt or removed, and each inline pull commits in a task that outlives its request so a client disconnect cannot truncate the stored object. Neither the switch nor the config is re-read by the workers: the bucket-metadata publish hook rebuilds the state, which is the only desired-state path.

+## On-Demand Migration Service
+
+Read-through, backfill and external pull orchestration belong in an application
+service under `rustfs/src/<service>/`. ECStore owns the storage primitives they
+need, including atomic commits, lifecycle locks and on-disk metadata. A service
+may use these primitives without moving its provider clients or scheduling
+policy into the engine.
+
+`rustfs/src/on_demand_migration/` owns source clients, pull scheduling, list
+merging, runtime state and backfill orchestration. Its `storage_api.rs` is the
+only ECStore facade boundary. Object write-back still enters the application's
+internal PUT and multipart use cases, including the atomic create-only commit,
+delete-marker protection, encryption, quota and notification rules.
+
+ECStore stores the existing ODM bytes and update timestamp without interpreting
+the JSON. Every metadata cache install or removal publishes those bytes through
+`BUCKET_CONFIG_PUBLISH_HOOK`; the application decodes them and synchronously
+withdraws corrupt configurations. Configuration writes validate structure and
+deployment constraints in the admin use case before the incarnation-fenced
+metadata update. Backfill reads metadata from its store's instance context and
+preserves the checkpoint ETag compare-and-set, lease and tail-drained writes.
+
+An ODM runtime is bound to the bucket incarnation published with its metadata,
+not just its name. Source reads and write-back reject a different incarnation.
+Checkpoint writes hold the user bucket's lifecycle fence through their complete
+commit and read-back, even if their caller stops waiting; the storage commit
+also observes lock loss. Deleting and recreating a bucket must not let work for
+its previous incarnation repopulate objects or checkpoints.
+
+Observability owns its metric DTOs and accepts application snapshot callbacks;
+it does not depend on the ODM runtime. The application registers both bucket
+and backfill snapshots during startup, before metadata and metric collection.
+
+This boundary does not change `.metadata.bin`, the ODM wire format or the
+backfill checkpoint format. An older binary may still discard unknown metadata
+fields when it rewrites a bucket; service relocation does not make mixed-version
+configuration writes or rollback preserve ODM configuration.

+The structural scan-plan digest can remain stable across ordinary bucket writes
+so a scoped scan can retain unaffected baseline buckets. It is not sufficient
+proof for reusing a completed result within the same cycle. Bucket work uses an
+execution digest combining the structural plan and the full activity snapshot,

+The persisted set-root fast path requires equal execution identities as well as

+To inspect readable configurations while identifying failures, use the same authenticated endpoint with `?diagnostic=true`. This requires the existing `ExportBucketMetadataAction` permission. A successful response has:
+
+- Filename `bucket-meta-diagnostic.zip` and header `x-rustfs-bucket-metadata-export: diagnostic`.

+`complete` reports whether all supported configuration reads succeeded. A diagnostic archive is never a restorable backup, including when `complete` is true. Import rejects the manifest or reserved directory before any bucket creation or configuration write. The reserved directory is not a valid bucket name, so older importers cannot restore diagnostic entries as ordinary bucket configurations.

 # On-Demand Migration

 **Use this when:** you are moving an existing S3-compatible bucket into RustFS without a stop-the-world copy, or you are debugging a bucket that serves reads from an external source (424 `SourceUnavailable`, an open circuit breaker, missing pulled objects, a source 403).
-**Source of truth:** `crates/ecstore/src/bucket/on_demand_migration/` (`config.rs` for the wire model and its bounds, `sys.rs` for the per-node runtime, `source_client.rs` for the outbound client, `pull.rs` for the write-back pipeline, `breaker.rs` and `negative_cache.rs` for the protections), `rustfs/src/app/object/get.rs` and `head.rs` for the read paths, `rustfs/src/app/object/on_demand_migration_put.rs` for the local write, `rustfs/src/admin/handlers/on_demand_migration.rs` for the admin API, and `crates/obs/src/metrics/schema/on_demand_migration.rs` for the metric contract.
+**Source of truth:** `rustfs/src/on_demand_migration/` (`config.rs` for the wire model and its bounds, `sys.rs` for the per-node runtime, `source_client.rs` for the outbound client, `pull.rs` for the write-back pipeline, `breaker.rs` and `negative_cache.rs` for the protections), `rustfs/src/app/object/get.rs` and `head.rs` for the read paths, `rustfs/src/app/object/on_demand_migration_put.rs` for the local write, `rustfs/src/admin/handlers/on_demand_migration.rs` for the admin API, and `crates/obs/src/metrics/schema/on_demand_migration.rs` for the metric contract.

 On-Demand Migration (ODM) attaches an external S3-compatible **source bucket** to a local RustFS bucket. When a client GETs a key that does not exist locally, RustFS fetches it from the source, streams it to the client, and stores it locally in the same pass; every later read is served locally. It is a pull-style, lazy migration path — the RustFS equivalent of Cloudflare R2 Sippy, Tigris shadow buckets, and Alibaba Cloud OSS / Tencent COS mirror-back-to-origin.

 The module is on by default (rustfs/backlog#2163); set `RUSTFS_ON_DEMAND_MIGRATION_ENABLED=false` on every node to turn it off (`rustfs/src/module_switches.rs`). With the switch off, the runtime never intervenes on a read and the admin `PUT` route refuses with `OnDemandMigrationDisabled`. Reads of the configuration and of the status endpoint keep working while the switch is off, so a disabled deployment can still be inspected. The switch only decides whether the module may act at all: a bucket with no `on-demand-migration.json` is never resolved by the runtime and makes no source call, so turning the module on changes nothing for buckets you have not configured.

+## Upgrade and rollback compatibility
+
+ODM configuration is stored in two additional keys in the existing bucket metadata map. The metadata format version remains `1` for MinIO compatibility. RustFS `1.0.0-rc.5` only re-encodes its 44 known keys: a bucket configuration write through an rc.5 node discards the ODM configuration and timestamp, even if another node originally wrote them. Restarting a newer binary cannot recover the discarded values. This also means ODM is not supported during a rolling upgrade that still allows rc.5 nodes to write bucket metadata.
+
+Upgrade every node before enabling ODM. Before any rollback to rc.5, stop new migration work, retain a secure copy of the original full configuration and credentials, and disable ODM on every bucket and node. The redacted configuration GET and metadata export are not credential backups. Objects still present only at the source cannot be read through RustFS while ODM is disabled or rc.5 is running; finish migration first, redirect those reads to the source, or plan a maintenance window. After all nodes return to a compatible release, reapply and validate the saved configuration; already stored local objects remain local. Turning the global module switch off alone does not make an old metadata writer preserve these keys.
+
+The ignored `upgrade_compatibility_test::rc5_rollback_requires_restoring_odm_configuration` test pins release commit `40a2470feb567201165a5b809b7598bb4b1f68f5`, restarts against the same data directory, writes bucket tags through rc.5, and verifies configuration recovery after returning to the current binary. Set `RUSTFS_UPGRADE_SOURCE_BINARY` to that release's executable and run `cargo test -p e2e_test rc5_rollback_requires_restoring_odm_configuration -- --ignored --test-threads=1`. The test records a known old-writer limitation; it does not certify mixed-version ODM operation.
+
+## Optional Google dependencies
+
+The default and `full` server builds include the `gcs` Cargo feature to preserve native GCS migration and existing GCS tier support. For a server without Google SDK dependencies, build with `cargo build -p rustfs --no-default-features --features ftps,webdav`. Add `gcs` to that feature list to restore native GCS support. The ECStore library has no default Google dependency; library users that need GCS tiers must enable its `gcs` feature.
+
+Both builds can read, redact and preserve GCS configuration. A build without `gcs` rejects native ODM client construction with `OnDemandMigrationBackendNotCompiled` (HTTP 501); persisted native sources report an unavailable client. GCS tier initialization returns `XRustFSAdminTierTypeUnsupported` (HTTP 501). Do not deploy that build to a cluster with GCS tiers containing transitioned objects: the configuration remains intact, but reading their remote data requires a GCS-capable binary. The `gcs` provider using HMAC credentials and the S3 interoperability API remains available in every build; only `gcs_native` and native GCS tier clients need the feature.

 ## List continuation token rollout

 `RUSTFS_ON_DEMAND_MIGRATION_LIST_V2_TOKENS` defaults to `false`; unset or invalid boolean values also keep it off. It controls only whether a v1 listing may first issue a v2 continuation token after an empty truncated merged page. Every node with this reader support accepts existing v2 tokens and continues their budget even with the switch off. Ordinary pages that consume an object or common prefix retain the original v1 token shape.

-Read-through only migrates what clients touch. The background backfill job walks the source listing and pulls the remainder, with a persisted checkpoint (`.rustfs.sys/buckets/<bucket>/on-demand-migration-backfill.json`), a single-owner lease, resume after restart, and `POST .../{bucket}/backfill?op=start|cancel` plus `GET .../{bucket}/backfill` admin routes. That slice (rustfs/backlog#2159) is not part of the build this page was written against: the shape above is the agreed design, and the exact request/response bodies must be re-checked against `docs/architecture/admin-route-action-snapshot.md` once it lands.
+Backfill waits for the result of every pull, including a pull already queued by an online request. A failed or cancelled shared pull is counted as a failure, never as successful migration. The persisted continuation cursor stays at the first failed page; a takeover replays from there and skips objects already present locally. `completed_with_failures` is not a cutover-ready state.

-Azure Blob has no preset; a native provider is deferred (rustfs/backlog#2166).
+Every backend answers the same trait contract, pinned by `backend_contract.rs` in `rustfs/src/on_demand_migration/`, and the three differences that contract allows are the ones documented here.
+
+`azure` differs in two of them. Its ETag is a concurrency token rather than a digest of the bytes, so it is stored as `odm-source-etag` provenance and never used as the expected MD5 of a pulled object — the write-back integrity check falls back to the local digest. And its listing paginates only with an opaque marker: there is no "start after this key" form, so a caller that asks for one gets `Unsupported` instead of a listing that silently starts over.
+
+`gcs_native` differs in the other two. Its listing also has no exclusive "start after" form (`startOffset` is inclusive), so it refuses one the same way. And GCS has no object tagging at all: `policy.copy_tags` finds no tags rather than failing the pull, because GCS custom metadata is already carried by the head mapping. Its ETag is normally usable: the `x-goog-hash` MD5 is converted to hex and checked against the pulled bytes, except on a composite object, which has no MD5 and whose ETag is then treated as opaque.

 The "Interop evidence" column names the job in `.github/workflows/on-demand-migration-interop.yml` (rustfs/backlog#2167) that last exercised the preset against a real implementation, and is where a provider difference belongs once the lane finds one. That lane is report-only and scheduled: it runs `crates/e2e_test/src/on_demand_migration/interop_test.rs` — the same case bodies as the merge-gate suite, with the source injected through `RUSTFS_ODM_INTEROP_*` — against a pinned MinIO container, and against each cloud provider whose repository secrets are configured. A provider without secrets is skipped with a note in the run summary rather than failing, so "no difference recorded yet" means exactly that and not "verified clean"; see [ci-gates.md](../testing/ci-gates.md) for the row.

 Behaviour a client can observe. The "Test" column names the case that pins it: `*_test.rs` files live under `crates/e2e_test/src/on_demand_migration/`, and the unit tests live next to the code in `rustfs/src/app/object/get.rs`, `head.rs` and `shared.rs`.

+ODM merged continuation tokens use a NUL-prefixed JSON envelope inside the existing base64 encoding. NUL is not valid in a local object key, so a legitimate JSON-shaped key can never be mistaken for a merged cursor. Upgrade every node before using list-through, and restart any in-progress ODM listing issued by an older build: its unframed JSON tokens cannot be distinguished from legitimate local keys. Ordinary local listing tokens remain unchanged. Tokens issued by this build can still resume the local side after list-through is disabled.
+
+Source `HEAD` responses with status 404 require a successful bucket probe before being negative-cached. The source credential therefore needs permission for `HeadBucket` (S3 `ListBucket`); a prefix-restricted ListBucket policy can deny that probe, in which case the response is a source failure rather than a cached miss. A missing/inaccessible source bucket, a missing source version, or an ambiguous GET 404 is not proof that the requested key is absent. Conditional GET validators are checked against the actual source GET metadata as well as the advisory HEAD; a missing required validator fails with 424. Source LIST entries without a key or a non-negative size fail the page rather than fabricating an empty object.
+
+Write-back currently requires namespace locking enabled and exactly one pool with one erasure set. Other topologies fail write-back explicitly as `unsupported`: source reads remain available, but backfill cannot complete successfully or certify cutover. This restriction avoids relying on a set-local condition across distinct pool or lock domains; it does not restrict ordinary S3 writes. Full cross-pool migration requires a globally fenced commit protocol.
+
+On the supported topology, write-back uses a create-only check under the local storage commit lock for both single-part PUT and multipart completion. A client write that commits while ODM is reading the source is preserved. With `respect_local_delete_marker=true`, a concurrent versioned deletion is preserved too. An explicit `respect_local_delete_marker=false` still permits revival; an unversioned deletion has no tombstone and therefore cannot be distinguished from a key that has never existed locally.

 Manual `workflow_dispatch` runs are debugging evidence and do not open scheduled-failure issues. A manual performance run may explicitly allow a known regression; that override is not a passing baseline.

+## Packaged functional acceptance
+
+`rustfs-functional-chain.yml` dispatches the packaged-build suites in `rustfs-*-test.yml` on the shared lab runners. A failing suite step or job must fail its workflow. Report collection, cleanup, and dispatch of the next suite can still run with `always()`; continuing diagnostics does not make the failed suite successful.
+
+Workflow status preserves errors that the test scripts report. It does not establish complete execution or a common package identity across the chain: inspect the current run's case results, package identity, and test-script revision as well. A script that returns zero after a failed tool invocation needs its own result check.

+# Distributed 4-node 4-disk e2e
+
+**Use this when:** adding or diagnosing GitHub Actions coverage for a 4-node cluster, or deciding whether a behaviour belongs in `e2e-distributed` versus the single-node `e2e-full` lane, the nightly cluster-fault lane, or the hardware functional chain.
+**Source of truth:** `crates/e2e_test/src/distributed/`, `[profile.e2e-distributed]` in `.config/nextest.toml`, `.github/workflows/e2e-distributed.yml`.
+
+## Topology
+
+The in-tree harness runs every node on `127.0.0.1` with a distinct port. That matches `RustFSTestClusterEnvironment` in `crates/e2e_test/src/common.rs`:
+
+| Layout | Constructor | Use |
+|---|---|---|
+| 4 nodes × 4 drives, one pool | `ClusterTopology::single_pool_multidrive(4, 4)` | S3, object lock, versioning, quota, observability, concurrency, chaos |
+| 4 nodes × 1 drive, one pool | `ClusterTopology::single_pool(4)` | Two-site replication (8 processes total); direct/rolling upgrade from the pinned previous release |
+| 1 single-node pool × 4 drives, then `append_single_node_pool` three times | expansion seed | Pool expand, then decommission / rebalance / integrity |
+
+A multi-pool layout in which any pool spans several localhost ports is not expressible (`RUSTFS_VOLUMES` host ellipses would collide on disk paths). Multi-host striped expansion pools remain the hardware functional-chain / backlog #1313 / #1314 lane.
+
+Data-movement cases fail closed. A decommission or rebalance test must observe a successful start response, an active state, a clean terminal state, non-zero movement counters, and post-operation object integrity. An unsupported response, HTTP 5xx, missing status fields, cleanup warning, or zero-progress terminal response fails the case; pre/post S3 availability alone is not evidence that movement ran.
+
+The four expansion pools must report independent capacity. Four directories on one runner filesystem all return the same `statfs` totals, so RustFS correctly concludes that no pool is less free than the cluster average and performs no rebalance. The Actions job mounts four isolated ext4 loopback filesystems and exports their absolute paths through `RUSTFS_E2E_POOL_ROOTS`. The harness rejects missing, duplicate, relative, nonexistent, or same-device roots instead of allowing a vacuous movement pass. Planned pool additions stop every process with SIGTERM; hard process termination remains a chaos-only fault. After the fourth pool joins, the harness performs one full graceful persistent restart: this proves the expanded pool map survives restart and ensures movement begins only after every replica can load the converged metadata.
+
+The expansion fixture is an all-current-binary fleet, so it initializes pool metadata with the documented V3 write and fleet-confirmation gates. Decommission cases write their baseline objects, version history, and multipart data into pool 0 before adding pools 1–3, then retire pool 0. This makes a passing result evidence of user-data movement rather than merely an internal-metadata counter changing.
+
+## What this lane covers
+
+`cargo nextest run --profile e2e-distributed -p e2e_test` selects `distributed::*`:
+
+- S3 put / get / head / list / copy / rename / delete / presign, range and conditional reads, special keys, metadata, tags, pagination, empty objects, multipart complete and abort
+- Object Lock COMPLIANCE, GOVERNANCE and bypass, legal hold, bucket default retention, and non-lock bucket rejection
+- Versioning, exact historical reads, delete-marker removal, and suspended null-version overwrite semantics
+- Bucket replication between two 4-node clusters, including metadata/tags and target-outage retry; hard quota admission and absence of rejected keys
+- Ready/live probes on every node, exact 4-server/16-disk inventory, realtime metrics on every node, and correlated audit-webhook delivery
+- Pool expand, decommission, rebalance, checksum integrity, versioned and multipart data, and S3 during active movement
+- Bidirectional site-replication convergence plus enabled/synchronized peer state on both sites
+- A 24-worker mixed PUT/HEAD/GET/COPY/DELETE workload; concurrent PUT during active decommission
+- Node kill/restart, full process restart, node-facing TCP blackhole/recovery, in-flight streaming GETs across a peer kill, and fresh-drive replacement verified by physical `xl.meta`/part-shard census
+- Multipart, cross-node listing, list-buckets agreement
+- Direct and rolling upgrade from the pinned previous release: historical objects, versioned history, and IAM user AK/SK still work afterwards
+
+## Existing Actions gaps this lane does not replace
+
+Those suites stay in place; this lane fills the in-tree 4×4 hole they leave.
+
+| Existing lane | Gap |
+|---|---|
+| `rustfs-*-test.yml` functional chain | Clones private `rustfs/auto-testing`, runs on three shared VMs (`vm000`–`vm002`), `continue-on-error: true`, not a merge signal, not 4 nodes. Hardware `rustfs-upgrade-test.yml` stays there |
+| `e2e-upgrade.yml` | Single-node SSE/multipart/delete-marker contracts plus mixed-version listing; does not pin IAM user AK/SK on a 4-node cluster |
+| `e2e-smoke` / `e2e-full` | Most selected cases are single-node; distributed modules are intentionally owned by this serialized lane |
+| `e2e-nightly` | 4-node cluster faults and heal, not S3/lock/versioning/quota/decommission matrix |
+| `e2e-repl-nightly` | Site and bucket replication on 1–3 *single-node* processes |
+| `e2e-s3tests.yml` `multi` | Weekly ceph/s3-tests against Docker 4-node; not lock/WORM, decommission, chaos, or checksum integrity |
+| `crates/e2e_test/src/chaos.rs` | Single-node disk faults only |
+
+Hardware power-loss, physical NIC pull, authenticated inter-node partition, firmware/media errors, and replacement-server provisioning still belong on the hardware validation VMs. This lane provides deterministic process kill, fresh local-volume replacement, and node-facing TCP blackhole analogues; it does not claim physical fault certification.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+cargo build -p rustfs --bins
+# Expansion/decommission/rebalance cases require four paths on distinct filesystems.
+export RUSTFS_E2E_POOL_ROOTS=/mnt/rustfs-pool-0:/mnt/rustfs-pool-1:/mnt/rustfs-pool-2:/mnt/rustfs-pool-3
+# Upgrade cases require the pinned previous binary (CI downloads it).
+export RUSTFS_UPGRADE_SOURCE_BINARY=/path/to/rustfs-1.0.0-rc.2
+cargo nextest run --profile e2e-distributed -p e2e_test
+```
+
+Without `RUSTFS_UPGRADE_SOURCE_BINARY` the two `distributed::upgrade_test::*` cases fail closed. Without four distinct `RUSTFS_E2E_POOL_ROOTS`, the expansion and data-movement cases fail closed. Filter upgrades out for a local run that is not checking upgrade:
+
+```bash
+cargo nextest run --profile e2e-distributed -p e2e_test -E 'not test(/^distributed::upgrade_test::/)'
+```
+
+The upgrade topology is `ClusterTopology::single_pool(4)` (4 nodes × 1 drive). That matches the proven mixed-version fixture in `upgrade_compatibility_test`; 4×4 localhost drives are rejected by the previous release's same-device disk check.
+
+Membership is pinned by `.config/e2e-distributed-selection.txt`. Update the Linux and Darwin entries with `python3 ./scripts/check_test_wiring.py --update-profile e2e-distributed <listing.json> <platform>` after adding or renaming a case.

Zhengchao An	8fb335cf19	test(e2e): pin upgrade compatibility to rc.5 and cover bucket configuration (#7217 ) test(e2e): prove bucket config survives rc.5 upgrade and rollback Add two upgrade-compatibility scenarios pinned to the on-demand-migration series' on-disk surfaces: BucketMetadata's 44 -> 46 msgpack keys, the fail-closed bucket-config reads of rustfs#7172, the encryption-gated PUT path of rustfs#7183, and the default-on migration module of rustfs#7089. The upgrade case writes versioning, SSE-S3 default encryption, a validated replication target plus rule, lifecycle, tags, quota, a public access block, a bucket policy and an object lock configuration with the pinned previous release, then asserts each one reads back unchanged on the current build, that list-remote-targets still reports the target, that writes to the encrypted and plain buckets keep their encryption posture, that every pre-upgrade object including a multipart one is byte-identical, and that an unconfigured bucket reports no migration and still answers NoSuchKey. The rollback case is the reverse: the current build writes the 46-key blob and the previous release must decode it by skipping the two unknown keys.	2026-09-06 01:08:22 +08:00

hector	cc5060ac20	ci(functional): fix dashboard report upload argv overflow and security checkout clobbering (#7212 ) Two fixes for the functional test chain: 1. Report upload fails with 'jq: Argument list too long' when the base64 report is passed through '--arg content' (pool reports exceed the OS argv limit; last night's pool run lost its Step Results report this way). Write the base64 payload to a temp file and load it in jq via --rawfile instead. Applied uniformly to all nine suite workflows that share this upload step. 2. The security workflow cloned rustfs/auto-testing into the workspace and then ran actions/checkout at the workspace root for the OIDC live gate script, which wiped the auto-testing clone and killed the suite with 'chmod: cannot access auto-testing/rustfs-security-test.sh'. Check out the repository into the rustfs-repo/ subdirectory instead and point RUSTFS_SECURITY_OIDC_LIVE_SCRIPT there. Co-authored-by: rustfs-ci <ci@rustfs.com>	2026-09-05 23:06:28 +08:00
