 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`
+     depends on `s3s`, `http`, `hyper`/`hyper-util`/`hyper-rustls`, and
+     `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.

+- **scanner/data-usage duplicate `.usage-cache.bin` serialization types.** The

+  `crates/scanner/src/data_usage_define.rs`). What remains: `scanner` and

  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`

+  `heal_channel.rs`, ~776 lines of heal-domain channel types). The
+  "common vs utils" naming ambiguity is secondary to moving that code to its

+//! 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.
