 ## 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.

  - 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

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

-Git hooks are **not** versioned in this repository, so a fresh clone has no

+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:

 ```bash
 make setup-hooks

-Or manually:
+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.

-```bash
-chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
-```
+`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.

-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.
+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.

-
-1. **Block the commit** and show clear error messages

-3. **Guide you through** the resolution process

+//! 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.

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
