refactor(rustfs): move layer-neutral shared types out of server (#6060 )

fix(kms): teach the observing Vault deserializer the wrap-budget field
Merge race broke main: #6019 added wrap_budget_reserved to VaultKeyData (with a serde default), and #6040 — green against a base without that field — landed its unknown-field-observing manual Deserialize with an initializer that does not mention it, so rustfs-kms no longer compiles. Beyond the missing initializer field, the visitor would also have misclassified wrap_budget_reserved as an unknown field and dropped its value on every read, silently regressing the persisted wrap-budget count that #6019's whole design exists to preserve. The field is now a first-class visitor member: parsed when present, duplicate-checked, defaulting to 0 when absent (mirroring the struct's #[serde(default)] for records written before the field existed). Verification: cargo check -p rustfs-kms (fails on main, passes here); cargo test -p rustfs-kms --lib vault (178 passed); clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean.

 3. **Each type has exactly one definition.** Types shared across crates must be defined
   in one crate and re-exported or imported by others.
-   - ⚠️ VIOLATED: `ReplicationStats` (4 copies), `LastMinuteLatency` (3 copies),
-     `BackpressureConfig` (3 copies), `DataUsageInfo` (2 copies).
+   - ⚠️ VIOLATED: `ReplicationStats` names three unrelated types
+     (`crates/data-usage/src/data_usage.rs`,
+     `crates/obs/src/metrics/collectors/replication.rs`,
+     `crates/ecstore/src/bucket/replication/replication_state.rs`) — a naming
+     collision, not copies; renaming is tracked in rustfs/backlog#1847.
+   - `LastMinuteLatency` has two deliberately different implementations: the
+     per-second bucketed accumulator in `crates/common/src/last_minute.rs` and
+     the in-memory endpoint-health sample tracker in
+     `crates/ecstore/src/bucket/bucket_target_sys.rs` (its doc comment explains
+     why it stays local).
+   - ✅ RESOLVED: `BackpressureConfig` and `DataUsageInfo` each have exactly one
+     definition (`crates/io-core/src/backpressure.rs`,
+     `crates/data-usage/src/data_usage.rs`). The zero-consumer
+     `BackpressureSettings` copy that lingered in io-metrics was removed
+     (rustfs/backlog#1833).

 4. **ecstore does not know about HTTP or S3 protocol details.** It operates on
   storage-level abstractions (objects, buckets, disks, pools).
+   - ⚠️ VIOLATED: 58 files under `crates/ecstore/src` reference `s3s`
+     (`rg -l 's3s' crates/ecstore/src | wc -l`), `crates/ecstore/src/client/`
+     is a ~9.4K-line embedded S3 HTTP client, and `crates/ecstore/Cargo.toml`

+     `reqwest`. Target state: the engine's need to act as an S3 client
+     (tiering, replication targets) is served by an extracted client crate,
+     and ecstore holds no wire or DTO types.

 5. **The `rustfs` binary crate is the only place that wires everything together.**
   Individual crates should be testable in isolation.

 6. **Error types use `thiserror` with descriptive names** (e.g., `StorageError`,
   not bare `Error`).
-   - ⚠️ VIOLATED: 6 crates use `pub enum Error`; 2 crates use `snafu`;
-      `heal` use `anyhow` in library code.
+   - ✅ RESOLVED (strategy): `snafu` is gone from source
+     (`rg -l snafu crates/ rustfs/` is empty) and library code no longer uses
+     `anyhow` (remaining hits are test code and the `e2e_test` crate; `heal`
+     uses `thiserror`).
+   - ⚠️ VIOLATED (naming): 6 crates still export a bare `pub enum Error`:
+     `crypto`, `filemeta`, `heal`, `iam`, `policy`, and `replication`
+     (`src/resync.rs`) — all `thiserror`-derived.

 ### Critical

- **common/scanner code duplication (~3K lines).** `scanner` depends on `common`
-  but maintains its own copies of `DataUsageInfo`, `LastMinuteLatency`, and related

+- **scanner/data-usage duplicate `.usage-cache.bin` serialization types.** The
+  original finding ("common/scanner code duplication, ~3K lines") is resolved:
+  `scanner` imports the shared data-usage types from `rustfs-data-usage` (see
+  the `pub use rustfs_data_usage::…` re-exports at the top of
+  `crates/scanner/src/data_usage_define.rs`). What remains: `scanner` and
+  `data-usage` each hold their own serialization types for the scanner cache
+  file (`DataUsageCacheInfo`/`DataUsageEntryInfo` in
+  `crates/scanner/src/data_usage_define.rs` vs
+  `DataUsageCacheInfo`/`DataUsageEntry` in
+  `crates/data-usage/src/data_usage.rs`); convergence is tracked in
+  rustfs/backlog#1828.

- **ecstore is a monolith (87K lines, 163 files).** It contains disk management,
-  bucket management, erasure coding, replication, lifecycle, RPC, and configuration

+  management, bucket management, erasure coding, replication, lifecycle, RPC,

+  projections into the concurrency/io-core policy shapes, and workload
  admission snapshots are composed through provider registries; later work
  should use those bridges before deleting compatibility wrappers.

 ### Medium

- **Inconsistent error handling.** Three strategies (thiserror/snafu/anyhow) and
-  mixed naming (bare `Error` vs descriptive names).
+- **Bare `Error` naming.** Error-handling strategy has converged on `thiserror`
+  (no `snafu`, no `anyhow` in library code); the remaining inconsistency is the

+//! ILM on SSE-KMS buckets while per-key SSE authorization is enforced (backlog#1582).
+//!
+//! Per-key KMS authorization (`RUSTFS_KMS_ENFORCE_SSE_KEY_POLICY=true`) scopes the
+//! SSE-KMS data path to the requesting principal's `kms:GenerateDataKey` /
+//! `kms:Decrypt` grants. Internal callers — the lifecycle scanner's expiry deletes
+//! and the tier transition worker's reads — carry no request principal, and
+//! `authorize_sse_kms_key` (rustfs/src/storage/sse.rs) exempts a `None` principal
+//! so background maintenance keeps working on encrypted buckets.
+//!
+//! These tests pin that exemption end to end. If enforcement ever starts applying
+//! to the scanner's internal operations, expiry stops happening on SSE-KMS buckets
+//! and [`ilm_expiration_on_sse_kms_bucket_under_enforcement`] times out; if it
+//! starts applying to the transition worker or the read-through path,
+//! [`ilm_transition_on_sse_kms_bucket_under_enforcement_reads_back`] fails at the
+//! transition wait or the plaintext round-trip.
+//!
+//! The replication half of the same acceptance item lives in
+//! `crates/e2e_test/src/replication_extension_test.rs`
+//! (`test_bucket_replication_sse_kms_failure_contract`); ILM had no coverage
+//! before this file.
+//!
+//! Deployment constraint pinned by the transition test's setup: the RustFS warm
+//! backend forwards the object's stored `x-amz-server-side-encryption*` metadata
+//! as raw headers on the tier data PUT (`build_transition_put_options` +
+//! `api_put_object.rs` header mapping), so a RustFS tier target must itself have
+//! KMS enabled and hold the named key or it rejects every transition upload with
+//! 400 InvalidRequest. That rejection is independent of the enforcement switch;
+//! the cold server here therefore runs its own Local KMS with the same key id.
