-# Code Change Verification
-
-Use this skill for an ordinary requested review. If the root policy or user calls
-for adversarial validation, use `adversarial-validation` instead of running both.
-
-## Core Workflow
-
-### 1) Scope and assumptions
-- Derive the change source, target branch, and relevant runtime/version from the
-  supplied diff and metadata. Ask only when missing context could change the verdict.
-- Focus only on requested scope; avoid reviewing unrelated files.
-
-### 2) Risk map
-- Prioritize in this order:
-  - Data correctness and user-visible behavior
-  - API/contract compatibility
-  - Security and authz/authn boundaries
-  - Concurrency and lifecycle correctness
-  - Performance and resource usage
-- Give higher priority to stateful paths, migration logic, defaults, and error handling.
-
-### 3) Evidence-based inspection
-- Read each modified hunk with neighboring context.
-- Trace call paths and call-site expectations.
-- Check for:
-  - invariant breaks and missing guards
-  - unchecked assumptions and null/empty/error-path handling
-  - stale tests, fixtures, and configs
-  - hidden coupling to shared helpers/constants/features
-- Apply root `AGENTS.md`'s finding standard: try to disprove a candidate before
-  reporting it. Mention an unresolved question only when it could materially
-  change the verdict; do not fill the report with speculative possibilities.
-
-#### Rust-specific checks
-
-For changed Rust behavior, use the matching sections of [rust-code-quality](../rust-code-quality/SKILL.md). Reuse checks already performed by the selected review workflow. Comment-only or formatting-only Rust diffs do not require the full Rust checklist. Carry its P0–P3 ratings over unchanged and use this skill's output format.
-
-### 4) Findings-first output
-- Order supported findings by P0–P3 severity; preserve the Rust ratings above.
-  Include `path:line`, the failure and impact, a focused fix, and its validation.
-- If no supported issues remain, state `No findings` with the reviewed scope and
-  any material verification limitation. Do not append optional improvements to
-  make a clean review look productive.
-
-Close after the required review. Recommend additional verification only for an
-identified unresolved risk or required gate; reuse evidence for unchanged code.

 # Issue Triage
 
-Use this skill when the user provides a GitHub issue URL and asks "can this be closed?", "is this already implemented?", "check completion status", or similar triage questions.
+- Resolve the issue repository separately from the implementation repository: `rustfs/backlog` tracks work in `rustfs/rustfs`. Pass `--repo` explicitly to GitHub queries.
+- Read the issue body, relevant comments, linked PRs, checklist, and sub-issues with `gh issue view`. Search explicit links, the full issue URL, qualified references, and subject keywords; an empty search result does not prove implementation is absent.
+- Fetch the implementation base and inspect its current code. For each merged candidate, verify `git merge-base --is-ancestor <merge-commit> <remote>/<base>`; a title, commit message, or merged state alone is insufficient. A local checkout may be stale or on another branch.
+- Verify every checklist/sub-issue before declaring completion. For batches, paginate the entire requested issue scope, exclude PR entries, and filter by author only when requested.
+- Recommend closing only when all requested behavior is present or evidence shows the issue is superseded. Otherwise name what remains. A status request is read-only; reuse existing authority for comments/closing/labels, and follow [Git and PR rules](../../references/pull-requests.md) before posting. Use Chinese for `rustfs/backlog`, existing repository labels only, and a closing comment naming the verified behavior and PRs.
 
-## Workflow
-
-### 1. Fetch issue context
-
-```bash
-gh issue view <N> --repo <owner/repo> --json title,body,state,comments,labels,updatedAt
-```
-
-Read the issue body to understand what was requested. Extract:
-- The specific feature/fix/behavior described.
-- Any linked PRs or commits mentioned in the body or comments.
-- Any checklist items or sub-issues.
-
-Resolve the issue repository and implementation repository separately (for example, `rustfs/backlog` tracks work in `rustfs/rustfs`). Pass the implementation repository explicitly to PR queries; the current checkout may belong to another repository.
-
-### 2. Search for related work
-
-Search git history for commits referencing the issue:
-```bash
-git log --oneline --all --grep="<N>" | head -30
-```
-
-Search for related PRs:
-```bash
-gh pr list --repo <implementation-repo> --search "<issue-url>" --state all --json number,title,state,mergedAt
-```
-
-Also search qualified issue references and subject keywords; for same-repository
-issues, include `#<N>`. Follow explicit links even without a text match. A search
-page with no match does not prove the work is absent.
-
-If the issue mentions specific PRs, check their status:
-```bash
-gh pr view <PR_N> --repo <implementation-repo> --json state,mergedAt,title,mergeCommit,baseRefName
-```
-
-### 3. Verify implementation
-
-Fetch the implementation repository's current base branch. For each merged candidate, verify its merge commit is present and inspect the current code for the claimed behavior; a commit message match alone is not proof:
-```bash
-git fetch <implementation-remote> <base-branch>
-git merge-base --is-ancestor <merge-commit> <implementation-remote>/<base-branch>
-```
-
-If the issue describes a specific defect, inspect the fetched base's code rather than assuming the current checkout contains it:
-```bash
-git show <implementation-remote>/<base-branch>:crates/<relevant>/src/<file>.rs
-```
-
-For issues with checklists, verify each item individually. If sub-items are tracked as separate issues, check those too:
-```bash
-gh issue view <SUB_N> --repo <owner/repo> --json state
-```
-
-### 4. Determine verdict
-
-- **All items fixed and merged**: Recommend closing; name the verified PRs and behavior.
-- **Some items fixed, some remaining**: Keep open; report each remaining item.
-- **Not yet implemented**: Keep open; report what remains.
-- **Superseded or no longer relevant**: Recommend closing with evidence.
-
-### 5. Take action
-
-For a status-only request, return the assessment without GitHub writes. If commenting, closing, or label edits are authorized, perform only those actions; do not ask again for authority already given. Prepare the final assessment before asking for any missing authority. Write `rustfs/backlog` issue content in Chinese.
-
-Close with comment:
-```bash
-gh issue close <N> --repo <owner/repo> --comment "<body>"
-```
-
-Comment without closing:
-```bash
-gh issue comment <N> --repo <owner/repo> --body-file /tmp/triage.md
-```
-
-Update labels only when label changes are authorized, using existing repository labels; never add tool-specific labels:
-```bash
-gh issue edit <N> --repo <owner/repo> --add-label "<existing-label>"
-```
-
-Always use `--body-file` for multiline content, never inline `--body`.
-
-### 6. Handle multi-issue batches
-
-When the user asks to check multiple issues (e.g., "check all issues by user X" or "scan backlog for closable issues"):
-1. List the full requested scope with pagination (for example `gh api --paginate 'repos/<repo>/issues?state=open&per_page=100'`, excluding entries with `pull_request`). Add an author filter only when the user requested one; the default page/limit is not evidence that all issues were checked.
-2. For each issue, run steps 1-5 above.
-3. Report a summary table of all triaged issues with verdicts.
-
-## Report
-
-Identify the issue and current state, verified implementation/PR evidence,
-remaining items, verdict, and action actually taken. Use a table for batches;
-a single issue does not require a heading for each field. Follow step 4's
-verdicts without repeating the assessment in another template.
-
-## Notes
-
-- The user may ask in Chinese ("是否可以关闭", "检查完成情况"); respond in the same language.
-- When closing, always include a summary of what was fixed and which PRs resolved it — this creates a useful audit trail.
-- For issues in `rustfs/backlog`, use `--repo rustfs/backlog`.
-- For issues in `rustfs/rustfs`, use `--repo rustfs/rustfs`.
-- If the issue has sub-issues (GitHub sub-issues API), check each one's state before declaring the parent complete.
+Report the issue, current state, implementation evidence, remaining work, verdict, and action actually taken. Use a table for batches. Write multiline comments via `--body-file`; when closing, post the prepared comment before closing without an inline multiline body.

 # PR Review
 
-Use this skill for PR context and review delivery. An ordinary review request is read-only unless the conversation also authorizes posting or fixes. Reuse that authorization without asking again; prepare the review before requesting any missing publication approval.
+1. Resolve the PR repository and remote; the current checkout may belong elsewhere. Read the PR purpose and linked issues, then fetch the actual base and PR head:
 
-## Prerequisites
+   ```bash
+   gh pr view <N> --repo <owner/repo> --json title,author,state,body,baseRefName,headRefName,baseRefOid,headRefOid
+   git fetch <repo-remote> <baseRefName> refs/pull/<N>/head
+   git diff <baseRefOid>...<headRefOid>
+   ```
 
-- Follow root `AGENTS.md`; classify risk with the [review policy](../../references/adversarial-validation.md) and consult relevant [change-style and boundary rules](../../references/implementation.md).
-- Select `code-change-verification` for ordinary review or `adversarial-validation` for explicitly adversarial, substantial, or high-risk review; do not run both on the same diff.
-
-## Workflow
-
-### 1. Gather PR context
-
-```bash
-gh pr view <N> --repo <owner/repo> --json title,author,state,body,additions,deletions,changedFiles,commits,baseRefName,headRefName,baseRefOid,headRefOid
-gh pr diff <N> --repo <owner/repo> --name-only
-```
-
-Read the PR body and linked issues to understand the change's purpose. If the PR references an issue, fetch that too:
-```bash
-gh issue view <ISSUE> --repo <issue-owner/repo> --json title,body,state
-```
-
-### 2. Fetch the diff and classify the change
-
-```bash
-git fetch <repo-remote> <baseRefName> refs/pull/<N>/head
-git diff <baseRefOid>...<headRefOid> --stat
-```
-
-Resolve `<repo-remote>` to the PR repository; do not assume the current checkout's `origin` or `main` matches. Record the exact base/head used. If either moved during fetching, refresh the snapshot before reviewing. Classify using the repository review policy; instruction changes that affect agent execution are mechanical, not exempt.
-
-### 3. Review the changed behavior
-
-Group files by functional area to trace callers and invariants. Use the root risk tier's review shape and only matching lenses. File count does not authorize delegation. When delegation is explicitly authorized, high-risk/substantial reviews use exactly two independent reviewers with the applicable lenses split between them; otherwise use two fresh sequential passes. Reviewers do not spawn further agents.
-
-Findings need a concrete failure scenario with `file:line`; a null verdict briefly names the relevant probes. Reuse existing evidence and choose local checks from the final diff under the root verification policy.
-
-### 4. Check CI status
-
-```bash
-gh pr checks <N> --repo <owner/repo>
-```
-
-Investigate a failed check when it bears on a finding or the user requested CI diagnosis/merge readiness:
-```bash
-gh run view --repo <owner/repo> --log-failed --job=<JOB_ID>
-```
-
-Use current evidence to distinguish pre-existing, flaky, and PR-caused failures. Do not classify them by guesswork or turn a code-only review into unrelated CI repair.
-
-### 5. Synthesize findings
-
-Report the PR, reviewed base/head, and risk tier, then summarize the assessment.
-Use the selected review's P0–P3 ratings and root finding standard: supported
-findings with `file:line`, failure scenario, and fix, or `No findings`.
-State the observed check status, including pending or unavailable checks, and
-the verdict (`APPROVE`, `REQUEST_CHANGES`, or `COMMENT`). Do not infer a pass
-from missing checks or add style nits to populate a clean review.
-
-### 6. Post the review
-
-Only when posting is authorized, write the review body to a temp file and post via CLI. Refresh the PR head first; if it changed, review the delta and update the verdict before posting:
-```bash
-# Request changes
-gh pr review <N> --repo <owner/repo> --request-changes --body-file /tmp/pr_review.md
-
-# Approve
-gh pr review <N> --repo <owner/repo> --approve --body-file /tmp/pr_review.md
-
-# Comment only (no verdict)
-gh pr review <N> --repo <owner/repo> --comment --body-file /tmp/pr_review.md
-```
-
-For authorized inline comments, use [the submission example](references/posting.md).
-
-Always use `--body-file` or `--input`, never inline multiline `--body`.
-
-### 7. Handle follow-up
-
-Follow the [PR lifecycle](../../references/pull-requests.md) and any explicit monitoring request. For follow-up, fetch the new head and compare the recorded reviewed SHA with the new SHA; revisit affected callers and findings. Never use an unfetched `origin/pull/<N>/head` ref as evidence. Update the posted review or resolve addressed threads only within existing authorization.
-
-## Notes
-
-- The user may ask for review in Chinese; respond in the same language but keep the review body in English per AGENTS.md rules.
-- When the user asks for "多角色对抗 review", run the full adversarial validation protocol — this skill's step 3 covers that.
-- If the PR is from a fork, check `maintainerCanModify` before attempting to push fixes.
-- For very large PRs, batch the review by functional area while keeping the same bounded review shape.
+   Record both SHAs; refresh if either moved during fetching. Follow relevant [implementation boundaries](../../references/implementation.md).
+2. Apply the [risk policy](../../references/adversarial-validation.md). Ordinary reviews use the root finding standard directly. For explicit adversarial, substantial, or high-risk reviews, use [the domain probes](../adversarial-validation/SKILL.md). File count does not authorize delegation; use exactly two independent reviewers only when authorized, otherwise two fresh sequential passes for that risk tier. Reviewers do not spawn further agents.
+3. Check `gh pr checks <N> --repo <owner/repo>`. Investigate failures when relevant to a finding or a requested CI/readiness diagnosis. Distinguish pending, unavailable, pre-existing, flaky, and PR-caused states using evidence; a code review does not authorize unrelated repairs.
+4. Report the reviewed SHAs, risk tier, supported findings or `No findings`, material verification limits, check state, and verdict. P0/P1 findings block approval. Severity: P0 = demonstrated data loss, security breach, remote crash, or deadlock; P1 = correctness, compatibility, or material hot-path regression; P2 = a concrete maintainability defect; P3 = optional style, only when requested.
+5. When posting is authorized, follow [Git and PR rules](../../references/pull-requests.md), recheck the remote head, and review any delta before submitting. Use `gh pr review` with `--approve`, `--request-changes`, or `--comment` and `--body-file`; use [the API example](references/posting.md) for authorized inline comments. Reuse existing authorization.
+6. Follow the repository PR lifecycle and explicit monitoring scope. Fetch new heads before comparing to the reviewed SHA; never rely on an unfetched `origin/pull/<N>/head`. Push fixes or resolve threads only when authorized; check `maintainerCanModify` before a fork push.

-# Rust Code Quality Gate
-
-Use this skill for a dedicated Rust review to cover rules that `cargo clippy`
-does not catch.
-
-Search matches and checklist items are candidates, not findings. Apply the root
-finding standard; distinguish a demonstrated bug, an explicit rule violation,
-and an optional preference. P2/P3 suggestions do not need to be invented or
-included in an otherwise clean correctness review.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-1. Identify changed `.rs` files.
-2. Run the matching candidate searches on changed files.
-3. Apply the manual checklist sections whose behavior the diff touches.
-4. Report or rebut every finding with evidence; P0/P1 findings block approval.
-   Fix them when implementation is authorized; a read-only review reports them.
-
-## Automated Checks
-
-Use these searches to find candidates in changed `.rs` files. Inspect syntax,
-`#[cfg(test)]` scope, and the changed hunk before reporting a finding; text
-filters do not reliably distinguish production code from tests.
-
-```bash

-## Manual Review Checklist
-
-For the Rust diff under review, verify:
-
-### Error Handling
-- [ ] Every production `unwrap()` or `expect()` is infallible by type or a checked invariant; explain only non-obvious invariants, using an existing type, a useful `expect` message, or a concise comment
-- [ ] No `Result<_, String>` in public API signatures
-- [ ] Public library APIs use domain errors unless deliberate error erasure at a boundary is part of the contract
-- [ ] `Error::source()` is overridden when inner error is stored
-- [ ] Error messages are actionable without exposing secret input
-
-### Type Safety
-- [ ] No silent `as` truncation (negative→unsigned, large→small)
-- [ ] Fallible numeric conversions use `TryFrom`/`try_into()` and return a typed error; clamp or saturate only when the domain explicitly requires it
-- [ ] Floating-point to integer conversion validates finiteness, sign, and range before conversion
-
-### Concurrency
-- [ ] Lock acquisition order is documented when multiple locks are used, and matches every other call site taking any overlapping subset (ABBA check)
-- [ ] No `tokio::sync` lock guard (read or write) held across `.await` without bounded hold time — long-lived read guards wedge writers (#4195)
-- [ ] Atomic read-modify-write uses the direct `fetch_*` operation when possible; use `compare_exchange` only for conditional updates
-- [ ] `std::sync::Mutex` in async context is held only briefly, never across `.await`
-
-### Memory and Performance
-- [ ] On an identified hot path, report cloning or allocation only with a concrete per-request/per-object cost or benchmark signal
-- [ ] Prefer borrowing, moving, `Bytes`/`Arc`, or capacity reservation only when it reduces that cost without obscuring ownership or APIs
-
-### Recursion Safety
-- [ ] Recursion over untrusted, persisted, or otherwise unbounded input has a depth limit or uses iterative traversal
-- [ ] Tree/cache traversals handle corrupted/cyclic input safely
-
-### Testing
-- [ ] Tests have an observable failure criterion; delegated assertions, `#[should_panic]`, snapshot/property checks, and meaningful `Result` failures do not need a redundant `assert!`
-- [ ] Use `expect` only when its message improves failure diagnosis; do not add boilerplate to self-evident test setup
-- [ ] Test volume and line count are never treated as production-code growth
-
-### Serde
-- [ ] Structs from untrusted input reject unknown fields where the compatibility contract permits; otherwise validate security-critical fields explicitly and test the supported input shape
-- [ ] `#[serde(default)]` not used on security-critical fields without validation
-
-### Code Hygiene
-- [ ] No `#![allow(dead_code)]` at crate root
-- [ ] No camelCase statics or Hungarian notation
-- [ ] New string literals don't duplicate existing constants
-
-### Reuse and Necessity
-- [ ] No new helper duplicates `crates/utils`, `crates/common`, the touched crate, the likely domain-owning crate, a relevant direct dependency, or plain std/tokio behavior; reused helpers match the call site's semantics
-- [ ] No branch without a nameable concrete trigger; no re-validation of what a validated upstream layer on the same path already guarantees (Cross-Cutting Domain Invariant patterns and pre-destructive-action re-checks are load-bearing — keep them)
-- [ ] Error context attached once where actionable, not re-wrapped at every hop; no typed→generic error conversion below aggregation/quorum layers
-- [ ] Comments avoid narration and change history while completely stating non-obvious lock, `SAFETY`, durability, compatibility, and unwrap invariants
-- [ ] No near-duplicate test pinning the same code path and poison-value class as an existing test (boundary companions — n==max vs max+1, absent/empty/nil UUID — are never near-duplicates)
-
-## Severity Classification
-
-- **P0 (Block merge)**: demonstrated data loss, security breach, remote crash, or deadlock
-- **P1 (Must fix)**: concrete correctness, compatibility, or material hot-path regression
-- **P2 (Should fix)**: avoidable duplication or maintainability issue with a concrete simpler replacement
-- **P3 (Nice to fix)**: local style or clarity issue with no behavioral risk
-
-## Output Template
-
-Use the calling review's output format. For a standalone review, report supported
-findings with severity, location, impact, fix, and validation, or `No findings`.
-Include only material unverified checks. Candidate counts are not a quality
-metric and do not need a separate scan report.

-

-# RustFS Release Publish (preview-validated pipeline)
+# RustFS Release
 
-This skill orchestrates a full release. It wraps `rustfs-release-version-bump` (invoked here with the authorized commit/push/PR scope) with a mandatory preview-tag validation loop before the final tag is published.
+Require the exact final SemVer target before version edits or publication. If unspecified, inspect current releases/tags and ask with concrete candidates; do not guess the channel or bump. A named bump type resolves to an exact version that still needs confirmation. Report the confirmed target verbatim; resolve any later mismatch before proceeding. Independent read-only preflight may continue.
 
-The binary reports its build tag (`build::TAG` via shadow_rs; `SHORT_VERSION` in
-`rustfs/src/config/cli.rs`), and `build.yml` derives asset names and preview
-classification from that tag. Cargo.toml supplies only the no-tag fallback.
-Preview and final tags must therefore share the validated source commit;
-their tag-dependent version and asset names differ. The channel and cleanup
-constraints are defined once under Preview tag naming and Hard rules below.
+## Invariants
 
-Pipeline shape:
+- Cargo stores `<target>`, never `-preview.N`. Before publication, installation defaults retain the previous available deliverable. Final and preview binaries embed their own tag names, so version/asset names differ despite identical source.
+- Use annotated tags without `v`. Preview names are exactly `<target>-preview.<digits>`; choose the next unused iteration after fetching tags. Preview Releases are prereleases, never Latest; publish only versioned assets/exact Docker tags, never latest assets, R2, Helm, moving Docker channels, or installation/banner updates.
+- `release/<target>` owns the candidate. Retain its history, backport only reviewed fixes, and never merge main wholesale or force-push it. Pin `PREVIEW_HASH` to its exact commit with complete passing CI. Preview and final tags both point there; never tag a later main/branch HEAD or insert another bump.
+- Phase failures block dependents. Keep preview Releases until final publication and notes generation finish; CI removes Releases while retaining tags. Never move an existing preview or final tag.
 
-```
-check console main against its latest Release
-  -> if ahead: publish console -> wait for Release asset + latest API
-  -> bump RustFS version files to <target> (final version, ONE commit) -> merge
-  -> tag <preview-tag> at that commit -> CI green
-  -> verify preview Release assets -> run binary locally + console checks
-  -> validate with latest rc client
-  -> report preview acceptance results -> STOP for explicit human confirmation
-  -> tag <target> at the SAME commit (zero delta) -> re-verify CI/release
-  -> CI deletes the <target>-preview.N Releases (tags kept)
-```
+## Read by Phase
 
-On validation failure: fix lands on main via normal PR (version files are already at `<target>`, no new bump PR), then tag `<preview-tag N+1>` at the new main commit and restart from Phase 2.
+Read only the current phase's procedure; retain completed evidence across turns. Follow root verification, Git/PR, and authorization rules.
 
-## Required inputs
+| Phase | Procedure |
+|---|---|
+| 0 | Clean tree, fetch main/tags, verify GitHub access, then complete the mandatory [Console release gate](references/console-gate.md). A green Console build alone is insufficient. |
+| 1–2 | [Prepare/reuse the release candidate and run exact-SHA branch CI](references/release-candidate.md). Source version changes use `rustfs-release-version-bump` with authorized delivery scope. |
+| 3 | [Verify the preview build, assets, channels, and notes](references/preview-release.md). |
+| 4–5 | [Run the downloaded binary, Console CRUD, and latest-rc matrix](references/preview-acceptance.md). Every check must pass. |
+| Confirmation | Complete the gate below and end the turn. |
+| 6 | After fresh confirmation, [publish and verify the final tag](references/final-release.md) at `PREVIEW_HASH`. |
+| 7 | [Maintain milestones, installation references, and the website](references/post-release-updates.md) only after complete publication. |
 
-- Final target version, for example `1.0.0-beta.10`.
-- Preview iteration `N` (default: next unused preview tag for that target; check with `git tag -l '<target>-preview.*'` after `git fetch --tags`).
+## Human Confirmation
 
-If the target version is missing or ambiguous, collect the current release/tag baseline and ask before version edits or publication. Continue independent read-only preflight while the answer is pending (see the semver gate below).
+After Phases 3–5 pass, recheck that the release branch still equals `PREVIEW_HASH`. Report the target, branch, preview tag/hash, branch CI run, preview Release URL, Console result, and rc matrix. Explicitly ask whether to publish the final tag and end the turn without creating/pushing it.
 
-## Semver gate — resolve the target before version edits or publication
+Only a new affirmative user reply to that exact report authorizes Phase 6. The original release request, earlier confirmation, silence, or automated follow-up does not count. Confirmation binds the target, preview tag, and hash; a changed value or repeated/failed acceptance cycle invalidates it. Revalidate and obtain fresh confirmation before continuing.
 
-Versions follow [SemVer 2.0.0](https://semver.org/). Precedence reminder:
+## Recovery
 
-```
-1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-beta.2 < 1.0.0-beta.11 < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0 < 1.0.1 < 1.1.0 < 2.0.0
-```
+- Before the final tag exists, land fixes on main, backport to the candidate, verify target versions, and restart branch CI/acceptance. Use a new preview iteration once a preview was tagged; main may advance independently.
+- Once the final tag exists, retry publication jobs for that exact tag. A source fix requires a newly confirmed target, not retagging or a newer preview. Phase 7 retries recheck artifact availability and superseding releases.
+- If abandoned after the bump merged, report the unpublished version on main and record whether to revert or let the next release overwrite it. Deleting candidate branches or preview tags requires an explicit decision.
 
-Numeric prerelease identifiers compare numerically (`beta.9 < beta.10`), not lexically — see [semver.org spec item 11](https://semver.org/#spec-item-11). Preview tags are internal validation tags layered on top of the target's prerelease channel — they are never themselves a deliverable version and never appear in version files.
-
-Rules:
-
-- A request like "发个版" / "release the next version" without an exact version string is ALWAYS ambiguous. Derive the current latest tag (`git tag --sort=-v:refname | head`), then ask the user to choose with concrete candidates, e.g. from `1.0.0-beta.10`: next prerelease `1.0.0-beta.11`, promote to `1.0.0-rc.1`, promote to stable `1.0.0`. Never guess between these — they have very different meanings (channel promotion vs. iteration) and different CI classification consequences.
-- After a stable `X.Y.Z` exists, the next version must state which component bumps: patch `X.Y.(Z+1)` for fixes only, minor `X.(Y+1).0` for backward-compatible features, major `(X+1).0.0` for breaking changes. If the user names a bump type but not a number, compute it from the latest stable tag and echo the exact resulting version back for confirmation.
-- Echo the final confirmed version string verbatim in your first status report; every later phase must use exactly that string. If at any point the user's wording and the confirmed version diverge, stop and re-confirm.
-
-## Preview tag naming
-
-- Use `<target>-preview.N` for every target, e.g. `1.0.0-beta.10-preview.3` or `1.1.0-preview.1`.
-- The canonical suffix is exactly `-preview.<digits>`. `build.yml` recognizes it before alpha/beta/rc classification and routes it to the preview-only path; any other tag containing `-preview` fails closed instead of being treated as a release.
-- A preview Release MUST be published with `isPrerelease=true` and `isLatest=false`. Any `*-latest` preview asset or preview-triggered `latest.json`, R2, Docker, or Helm publication is a pipeline failure.
-- Preview Releases are cleaned up by the `cleanup-preview-releases` job after `publish-release` succeeds for the deliverable tag. It deletes every Release whose tag is exactly `<target>-preview.<digits>` and never passes `--cleanup-tag`, so the tags survive.
-
-## Hard rules
-
-- Version files (Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, README, flake.nix, Chart.yaml, rustfs.spec) are bumped ONCE, directly to `<target>`. Never write a `-preview.N` suffix into any version file. If `rustfs-release-version-bump` is ever asked for a `-preview` version, that is a pipeline bug — stop.
-- Preview Release assets are versioned and intentionally visible on the Releases page for the duration of validation. Do not label them Latest or use them to update any latest distribution channel.
-- Never delete a preview Release by hand before Phase 6 finishes — Phase 4 downloads its assets and the final Release notes are generated while it still exists. Cleanup is CI's job; only step in manually (`gh release delete "<preview-tag>" --yes`, never `--cleanup-tag`) if `cleanup-preview-releases` failed.
-- Tags have no `v` prefix. Always annotated: `git tag -a <tag> -m "Release <tag>"`.
-- The final tag MUST point at exactly `PREVIEW_HASH` — the commit the validated preview tag points at. Never tag current `main` HEAD (commits merged after validation are unvalidated), and never create an extra version-bump commit between preview and final.
-- When a previous deliverable exists, GitHub Release notes for the preview and final tags MUST use it as their shared comparison baseline: the most recently published non-preview Release before the target. Internal `-preview.N` Releases are explicitly excluded from that selection, even when they point at the same commit as the final tag — cleanup runs after the notes are generated, so the preview Release is still present and would otherwise be picked as the baseline. If no previous deliverable exists, omit `previous_tag_name` and record that GitHub's default baseline fallback was used.
-- Generated Release notes carry a workflow-management marker so retries can repair them. Before manually curating a generated body, remove that marker; unmarked non-placeholder notes are preserved by later workflow runs.
-- Phases run in order; a failure in any phase blocks everything after it. After the fix lands on main, restart from Phase 2 with the next preview iteration against the new `origin/main` hash — do not resume mid-pipeline against a stale hash.
-- Completing preview acceptance does not authorize the final tag. After Phases 3–5 pass, report the acceptance evidence and stop until the user explicitly confirms continuation. The original release request, an earlier confirmation, silence, or an automated follow-up does not satisfy this gate.
-- Confirmation is scoped to the reported `<target>`, `<preview-tag>`, and `PREVIEW_HASH`. A failed or repeated acceptance cycle, including any new preview iteration, invalidates prior confirmation and requires a new one.
-- If the release is abandoned after Phase 1 merged, main's version files claim a version that was never tagged. Either revert the bump PR or leave it to be overwritten by the next release — but tell the user explicitly and record the decision.
-- User-facing status updates in Chinese; commits, PR titles/bodies, and tag messages in English. No hard-wrapping in commit messages, PR bodies, or documentation prose — one logical line per sentence/paragraph, let soft wrap handle display.
-
-## Phase 0 — Preflight
-
-- `git status --short` clean; `git fetch origin main --tags`.
-- `gh auth status` works; confirm you can view `gh release list -L 3`.
-- Confirm the exact final target version with the user if not explicit.
-
-### Console release gate
-
-Read and complete [the Console gate](references/console-gate.md) before Phase 1. Verify the latest published Console asset and exact commit; if Console main is ahead, complete its release and asset verification first. A successful build alone does not satisfy this gate.
-
-## Phase 1 — Version bump to the final target (once)
-
-- If main's version files already read `<target>` (e.g. this is a restart after a failed preview), verify with `rg -n "<target>" Cargo.toml rustfs.spec helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml` and skip to Phase 2.
-- Otherwise invoke the `rustfs-release-version-bump` skill with the final `<target>` (NOT a preview version), full GitHub flow (commit/push/PR).
-- Get the PR merged into main. Record the resulting main commit:
-
-```bash
-git fetch origin main
-PREVIEW_HASH=$(git rev-parse origin/main)   # must contain the bump PR
-```
-
-`PREVIEW_HASH` is the single source of truth for the rest of the pipeline — report it to the user and reuse it verbatim in Phases 2 and 6. Both the preview tag and the final tag will point at it.
-
-## Phase 2 — Publish the preview tag
-
-```bash
-git tag -a "<preview-tag>" -m "Release <preview-tag>" "$PREVIEW_HASH"
-git push origin "<preview-tag>"
-```
-
-Pushing the tag triggers `.github/workflows/build.yml` ("Build and Release"); `docker.yml` chains off it via `workflow_run`.
-
-The preview run builds versioned artifacts and publishes them in a GitHub prerelease. Its latest-channel, R2, Docker, and Helm jobs must be skipped. Those publication paths run only after the final tag is pushed.
-
-On a restart (N+1), refresh `PREVIEW_HASH=$(git rev-parse origin/main)` first — it must contain the fix — and re-report it.
-
-## Phase 3 — CI and preview Release verification
-
-- Find and watch the tag build: `gh run list --workflow build.yml --branch "<preview-tag>" --limit 1` then `gh run watch <run-id>`. Every build matrix target must succeed (linux x86_64/aarch64 × musl/gnu, macos-aarch64, windows-x86_64).
-- Confirm the Release publication jobs (`create-release`, `upload-release-assets`, and `publish-release`) succeed while `update-latest-version` is skipped.
-- Verify `gh release view "<preview-tag>" --json isPrerelease,assets,url`: `isPrerelease` must be `true`, and the Release must contain all 6 versioned platform zips, checksums, SBOM, and provenance with no `-latest` assets. Confirm `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest --jq .tag_name` does not return `<preview-tag>`.
-- Record `PREVIOUS_DELIVERABLE`, selected from published Releases by `publishedAt` after excluding the current tag and every `-preview.N` tag. Verify `gh release view "<preview-tag>" --json body --jq .body` contains `## What's Changed` and, when `PREVIOUS_DELIVERABLE` exists, `**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/compare/<PREVIOUS_DELIVERABLE>...<preview-tag>`. For a repository with no previous deliverable, verify a Full Changelog link exists and record the GitHub baseline fallback.
-- Confirm preview-triggered Docker and Helm jobs are skipped. Preview validation covers the built RustFS binaries, embedded console, and rc compatibility; Docker image construction and Helm publication are deferred to the final tag because the Dockerfiles consume GitHub Release assets.
-
-## Phases 4–5 — Local artifact, Console, and rc acceptance
-
-Read and complete [preview acceptance](references/preview-acceptance.md): verify the downloaded binary's tag/SHA and readiness, exercise Console CRUD with byte-identical download, and pass the full latest-rc command matrix. Any failure blocks final publication. Retain the results for the confirmation gate below.
-
-### Manual confirmation gate
-
-After every Phase 3–5 check passes, report the target, preview tag, `PREVIEW_HASH`, preview Release URL, console result, and rc matrix, then explicitly ask the user whether to publish the final tag. End the turn without creating or pushing `<target>`.
-
-Continue to Phase 6 only after a new user reply explicitly confirms the reported target, preview tag, and commit. A clear affirmative reply to that exact report, such as `确认继续`, is sufficient; if the reply is ambiguous or any reported value changed, ask again.
-
-## Phase 6 — Publish the final tag on the validated commit
-
-No second version bump, no release branch. The final tag goes on the exact commit the preview validated:
-
-```bash
-git fetch origin --tags
-git rev-parse "<preview-tag>^{commit}"          # must equal PREVIEW_HASH — abort if not
-git tag -a "<target>" -m "Release <target>" "$PREVIEW_HASH"
-git push origin "<target>"
-```
-
-- CI rebuilds from the same source; the only changed input is the tag name, so the binary now self-reports `<target>`.
-- Verify the final tag's complete publication path: all matrix and release jobs green; `gh release view "<target>"` shows the full versioned and `-latest` asset set plus checksums, SBOM, and provenance; Docker and Helm workflows succeed; `latest.json` points to `<target>`. A stable target must have `isPrerelease=false` and `isLatest=true`. An alpha/beta/rc target must have `isPrerelease=true`; GitHub does not permit prereleases to be Latest, but the project `latest.json` still advances to the final non-preview target.
-- Verify the final Release body contains `## What's Changed` and a Full Changelog link. When `PREVIOUS_DELIVERABLE` exists, the link MUST be `https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/compare/<PREVIOUS_DELIVERABLE>...<target>` and the baseline MUST equal the preview Release baseline; for example, both `1.0.0-beta.12-preview.1` and `1.0.0-beta.12` compare from `1.0.0-beta.11`.
-- Verify the preview cleanup: `cleanup-preview-releases` must succeed, `gh release view "<preview-tag>"` must then report `release not found` for every preview iteration of this target, and `git rev-parse "<preview-tag>^{commit}"` must still resolve to `PREVIEW_HASH` (the tag is kept). If the job failed, delete the leftover Releases manually with `gh release delete "<preview-tag>" --yes` and report it.
-- Optionally spot-check `./rustfs --version` from a final-tag artifact — it must report `<target>`.
-
-## Output contract
-
-Always report:
-
-- Console gate result: previous/latest Console tags, whether merged changes required a release, `CONSOLE_HASH`, and Console run/Release URLs when a release was published.
-- Target version, preview tag(s) used, `PREVIEW_HASH` (which both tags point at).
-- Manual confirmation gate status (`WAITING_FOR_CONFIRMATION` or `CONFIRMED`) and its exact target, preview tag, and `PREVIEW_HASH`.
-- Per-phase result (PASS/FAIL/BLOCKED) with key evidence: preview and final Release URLs, preview `isPrerelease`/`isLatest` state, final latest-channel state, console check results, the rc command matrix, and the preview-Release cleanup result (deleted Releases plus surviving tags).
-- Any deviation from this pipeline and why the user approved it.
+Report completed phase results and incomplete work with evidence: Console previous/latest tags, release need, hash and run/Release URLs; target, branch CI/SHA, previews and hash, confirmation state; preview/final assets, latest-channel state, Console/rc results and cleanup; both milestone states, installation PR checks/merge state, and website text/link/PR/deployment state. Keep artifact publication separate from follow-up delivery; do not call an open PR a live update. Report deviations and their authorization.

+# Post-release Milestone, Installation, and Website Updates
+
+Read only after the final non-preview tag has passed Phase 6. Tag creation or a green binary build alone is insufficient: the release assets, source archive, container images, Helm package, and applicable latest channels must be available. Preview tags never enter this phase.
+
+## Version milestones
+
+1. Query all pages of both open and closed milestones in the RustFS release repository, matching titles exactly to version strings without a `v` prefix. A failed or incomplete query is not evidence that a milestone is absent; resolve the lookup before making changes.
+2. Close the milestone matching the published `<target>` if it is open; an already closed milestone needs no change. If it is missing, report the gap and continue checking the next version. Do not create a substitute for the released milestone or close/reassign its issues or PRs.
+3. Use an explicitly planned next version when provided; otherwise, for a stable `X.Y.Z`, use `X.Y.(Z+1)`. For example, after `1.0.1` is published, close milestone `1.0.1` and ensure milestone `1.0.2` exists. For an alpha/beta/rc target with a trailing numeric counter, increment that counter within the same channel unless a different next version was specified. If the next version cannot be determined, ask for that version and report this follow-up as blocked. Creating a planning milestone does not confirm the target of a future release or bypass the semver gate.
+4. Reuse an existing next-version milestone, whether open or closed; do not reopen it or create a duplicate. Only when the complete query confirms it is absent, create an open milestone with the exact next-version title. Do not invent a due date or description. After an uncertain creation result, query again before retrying.
+5. Read back both milestones and report their titles, URLs, and actual states, including whether the next milestone was reused or created. A failed close, create, or verification leaves milestone maintenance incomplete; retry only the unfinished operation after refreshing live state. Continue independent installation and website work without moving or republishing the release tag.
+
+## Installation references
+
+1. Re-read the published deliverable state before edits or a retry. If a newer release has superseded this target, do not downgrade installation references or the website announcement. Report the superseding release and leave those defaults intact.
+2. Invoke `rustfs-release-version-bump` with stage `post-release`, the exact target, and the authorized delivery scope. Prepare the follow-up on current main; do not edit or move either validated release tag. Cargo versions may already be preparing the next target and must remain untouched.
+3. Verify the exact Docker image manifest, Release download links, RPM source archive, and Helm repository entry before publishing the installation PR. The chart workflow overrides chart/app versions from the final tag, pins the source checkout to that release, and waits for its default Docker image before packaging.
+4. Report the installation PR and its merge state separately from the completed release. Reuse existing merge authorization and repository checks; do not infer new merge authority from this reference.
+
+## rustfs.com top banner
+
+Use the existing announcement configuration from [website PR #112](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs.com/pull/112). Do not add a second banner or redesign the header.
+
+1. In an isolated checkout of `rustfs/rustfs.com`, read its current `AGENTS.md`, PR template if present, `data/announcement.ts`, and the consuming header component. Search for an existing announcement PR for this target before creating another.
+2. Update `homeAnnouncement` in `data/announcement.ts` after the release and installation availability checks pass. Keep `enabled: true`, `badge: 'New'`, and the existing component. For a stable release, use:
+
+   ```ts
+   export const homeAnnouncement = {
+     enabled: true,
+     badge: 'New',
+     message: 'RustFS <target> is now available! Please',
+     linkText: 'upgrade and try',
+     href: '/download',
+   } as const
+   ```
+
+   Replace `<target>` with the exact published version. Reserve GA wording for the actual first stable release. For a final alpha/beta/rc tag, explicitly call it a prerelease; use its GitHub Release URL if `/download` does not expose that target. Never announce a `-preview.N` build here.
+3. Use the site's current package manager and required checks. For this config-only change, type-check and lint the changed file, build the site, and inspect the generated homepage for the version, visible link text, and destination. Confirm `/download` actually offers the announced version before using that link.
+4. Commit, push, and create or update the website PR when included in the authorized release scope. Include the published RustFS Release URL and checks run. Keep merge and production-deployment authority separate; reuse permission already given, but this reference grants none by itself.
+5. After an authorized merge/deployment, verify the live `https://rustfs.com/` banner and its destination. If only the PR is ready, report that state and URL; do not report the banner as deployed. A website failure does not invalidate or move the published release tag: retry this phase after resolving the failure.

+- The canonical suffix is exactly `-preview.<digits>`. `build.yml` recognizes it before alpha/beta/rc classification and routes it to the preview-only path; any other tag containing `-preview` fails closed instead of being treated as a release.
+- A preview Release MUST be published with `isPrerelease=true` and `isLatest=false`. Any `*-latest` preview asset or preview-triggered `latest.json`, R2, Helm, or moving Docker channel tag is a pipeline failure. Docker images may use the exact preview version tag, including its existing variant suffixes.

For a repository with no previous deliverable, verify a Full Changelog link exists and record the GitHub baseline fallback.
+- Confirm Helm is skipped. If preview Docker images are published, confirm they use only exact preview tags (and variant suffixes), with no `latest`, `alpha`, `beta`, or `rc` channel updates. Preview validation covers the built RustFS binaries, embedded console, and rc compatibility; it does not authorize advancing any installation default.

+- Confirm the exact final target version with the user if not explicit.
+- Check whether `release/<target>` already exists before creating it; a resumed release reuses the existing branch and its history. For an in-flight release that already has a preview tag but no branch, anchor the new branch to that tag's commit only after verifying its target versions and prior acceptance evidence.
+
+## Phase 1 — Source version bump to the final target (once)
+
+- If `release/<target>` exists, verify its Cargo.toml and workspace members in Cargo.lock read `<target>` and skip the source bump, even if main has advanced. If the branch versions differ, stop and resolve the mismatch without downgrading main.
+- If no branch exists but an unfinished preview tag does, verify its commit has `<target>` in both version files and skip the bump; Phase 2 anchors the branch to that commit. Stop if those files disagree. Otherwise, if main already has `<target>` in both files, skip the bump. Installation references intentionally retain the previous published deliverable during preview; if they were advanced to an unavailable target, restore that baseline before choosing the next candidate.
+- Only when neither the release branch, an unfinished preview tag, nor current main already has `<target>`: if main is at a later version, select and verify a historical commit containing `<target>` rather than downgrading main; block if none exists. Otherwise invoke the `rustfs-release-version-bump` skill with stage `prepare`, the final `<target>` (NOT a preview version), and full GitHub flow (commit/push/PR).
+- If a bump PR was needed, get it merged into main and record its merge commit. For a new release branch when main already has `<target>`, identify the main commit that introduced those versions. Phase 2 chooses a release candidate containing that commit; an existing release branch keeps its own history and a newer main HEAD is not required.
+
+Do not wait for the moving latest main HEAD to become green. The release-branch CI in Phase 2 validates the chosen commit before a preview tag is created.
+
+## Phase 2 — Pin and validate the release candidate, then publish the preview tag
+
+- Use `release/<target>`. On the first attempt, create it from a selected main commit containing the version bump and intended changes; it need not be the latest main HEAD. On a restart, retain the existing branch and backport only reviewed fixes from main. Verify the branch's Cargo versions still equal `<target>`. If adopting an existing preview, run this branch CI before continuing its acceptance; reuse the tag only when it points to the validated SHA.
+- The current `ci.yml` runs automatically on main pushes, not release-branch pushes. Dispatch it explicitly with `gh workflow run ci.yml --ref "release/<target>"`. Locate that dispatch run, verify its `head_sha` equals the release branch's remote HEAD, and require the full expected CI job set to pass, including `Quick Checks`, `Test and Lint`, and `End-to-End Tests (full merge gate)`. Treat a missing or skipped required lane as incomplete. A successful PR check or CI run for a different SHA does not qualify. If the branch advances or a run is cancelled, validate the new SHA again. Do not tag a candidate with failing or incomplete CI.
+- Prefer protecting `release/*` against force pushes and deletion and requiring reviewed backport PRs. Check live rulesets rather than assuming the main ruleset covers release branches; report a missing release-branch rule as a gap.
+- Set `PREVIEW_HASH` to the CI-validated release-branch commit and recheck the remote branch HEAD immediately before tagging. Report the branch, commit, and CI run URL; do not derive `PREVIEW_HASH` from a later `origin/main` fetch. When adopting an existing preview tag at this SHA, skip tag creation and continue Phase 3.
+
+```bash
+git tag -a "<preview-tag>" -m "Release <preview-tag>" "$PREVIEW_HASH"
+git push origin "<preview-tag>"
+```
+
+Pushing the tag triggers `.github/workflows/build.yml` ("Build and Release"); `docker.yml` chains off it via `workflow_run`.
+
+The preview run builds versioned artifacts and publishes them in a GitHub prerelease. Docker may publish exact preview image tags. Latest-channel, R2, and Helm publication must be skipped; installation references and the website announcement stay unchanged.
+
+On a restart after a backport, re-run release-branch CI before setting the new `PREVIEW_HASH`. Use the next unused preview iteration when the validated commit differs from an existing preview tag; never move an existing tag.

-# RustFS Release Version Bump
+# Release Version Files
 
-Use this skill to prepare and verify release version files. Commit, push, and PR steps apply only when included in the user's delivery scope; publishing release tags belongs to `rustfs-release-publish`.
+Require an exact target; ask if missing or ambiguous. Reject targets containing `-preview`: those are tag-only. Infer `post-release` only from an explicit request or parent workflow; otherwise use `prepare`. Delivery defaults to local edit/verify; commit, push, PR, and merge follow existing authorization and [Git rules](../../references/pull-requests.md).
 
-Validated baseline: release pattern used in PR `#2957`.
+| Stage | Files and constraints |
+|---|---|
+| `prepare` | Only `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock`: workspace package, internal dependency, and workspace member versions become `<target>`. External dependencies stay unchanged. |
+| `post-release` | Only `README.md`, `README_ZH.md`, `flake.nix`, `helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml`, and `rustfs.spec`. Cargo may already target the next release; leave it untouched. |
 
-## Required inputs
+Before installation edits, verify the exact non-preview Release, downloadable assets/source archive, pullable `rustfs/rustfs:<target>` image manifest, and published Helm chart. Block on missing artifacts. Do not downgrade defaults if a newer deliverable superseded the target. Preview preparation retains the previous published installation references; follow-up commits never replace either validated tag.
 
-- Exact target version, for example `1.0.0-beta.4`.
-- Delivery scope: local (`edit/verify`), git (`commit/push`), or GitHub
-  (`commit/push/PR`). Derive it from the conversation; when unspecified, prepare
-  and verify locally without blocking on a delivery question.
+Packaging policy:
 
-If target version is missing or ambiguous, stop and ask before editing.
+- Docker image tags have no `v` prefix. Derive chart/app versions with `scripts/helm_chart_version.sh <target>` (`beta.N -> 0.N.0`; other versions unchanged). Helm CI derives versions from the final tag, so no early chart bump is required.
+- RPM `Version` is numeric; `Release` is the prerelease suffix or `1` for stable. Expanded `Source0` and the unpack directory must resolve to the exact target including its suffix. Add the changelog entry using current git identity, date, and target; never copy an example identity/date.
+- Changing these mappings requires explicit confirmation.
 
-Reject any target version containing `-preview`: preview identifiers are tag-only (see `rustfs-release-publish`) and must never be written into version files. If asked for one, stop and point to the release pipeline instead of editing.
+Verification follows root tiers: `prepare` validates Cargo metadata with the updated lockfile and checks every workspace/internal version with no unrelated lockfile updates. `post-release` renders Helm with the verified image, runs `scripts/test_helm_chart_version.sh` for chart version edits, and checks README, Nix, and RPM references. Run `git diff --check`; report unresolved required checks as `BLOCKED` without unrelated fixes.
 
-## Read before editing
-
-- `AGENTS.md` (root and nearest path-specific files).
-- `.github/pull_request_template.md` only when preparing a PR.
-- Current branch status and diff against `origin/main`.
-
-## Default release file scope
-
-Treat the following file list as the default checklist for each release bump:
-
-- `Cargo.toml`
-- `Cargo.lock`
-- `README.md`
-- `README_ZH.md`
-- `flake.nix`
-- `helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml`
-- `rustfs.spec`
-
-Only drop a file when the current repository release process clearly no longer requires it.
-
-## Hard release policy
-
-- Docker doc tags use `<version>` (for example `rustfs/rustfs:1.0.0-beta.4`), not `v<version>`.
-- Helm chart version mapping follows `beta.N -> 0.N.0`.
-- `rustfs.spec` `Release` uses prerelease suffix only (for example `beta.4`).
-- Do not change these rules without explicit confirmation.
-
-## Step-by-step workflow
-
-1. Confirm intent and isolate scope
-- Use the exact target and delivery scope already supplied; ask only for a missing or ambiguous target or a material release-policy choice.
-- Inspect current branch and ensure only release-related files are touched for this task.
-
-2. Update workspace versions
-- Bump `[workspace.package].version` in `Cargo.toml`.
-- Bump internal workspace crate dependency versions in `Cargo.toml`.
-- Update `Cargo.lock` so workspace package versions match target version.
-- Re-scan for partial leftovers.
-
-3. Update release assets
-- `README.md` and `README_ZH.md`: update versioned Docker examples to target version.
-- `flake.nix`: update package version to target version.
-- `helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml`:
-- `appVersion` = target version.
-- `version` follows chart mapping rule, for example:
-- `1.0.0-beta.3` -> `0.3.0`
-- `1.0.0-beta.4` -> `0.4.0`
-- `rustfs.spec`:
-- Set `Release` to prerelease suffix (example `beta.4`).
-- Add/update top changelog entry with exact format:
-- `* Thu May 20 2026 houseme <housemecn@gmail.com>`
-- `- Update RPM package to RustFS 1.0.0-beta.4`
-- Changelog identity and time must come from current environment:
-- `git config --get user.name`
-- `git config --get user.email`
-- `date '+%a %b %d %Y'`
-- Changelog version text must match target release version exactly.
-
-4. Verify before shipping
-- Run:
-- `make pre-commit`
-- If `make pre-commit` fails, fix task-attributable failures and rerun affected checks. Report unresolved required checks as `BLOCKED`; do not silently widen scope to fix unrelated issues.
-
-5. Commit strategy (only when committing is authorized)
-- Preferred split when both parts changed:
-- `chore(release): prepare <version>` for `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock`.
-- `chore(release): align release assets for <version>` for docs and packaging files.
-- If user asks for one commit, use one commit.
-- Stage only intended release files; do not include unrelated working tree changes.
-
-6. Push and PR (only for the authorized delivery scope)
-- Push branch:
-- Use the user-requested or configured push remote: `git push -u <push-remote> <branch>` (first push), or `git push` when tracking is already configured.
-- Create PR with template headings unchanged:
-- `gh pr create --base main --head <branch> --title ... --body-file ...`
-- PR title/body must be English.
-- Use `N/A` for non-applicable template sections.
-- Include verification commands and any `BLOCKED` reason clearly.
-
-## Recommended check commands
-
-- `git status --short --branch`
-- `git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD`
-- `git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD`
-- `rg -n "<old_version>|<new_version>" Cargo.toml Cargo.lock README.md README_ZH.md flake.nix helm/rustfs/Chart.yaml rustfs.spec`
-- `make pre-commit`
-
-## Output contract
-
-When using this skill, always report:
-
-- Target version.
-- Files changed.
-- Any assumptions or uncertainties requiring confirmation.
-- Verification result (`PASSED` or `BLOCKED`) with key evidence.
-- Commit message(s) used.
-- Push status and PR URL when GitHub flow is requested.
+For authorized commits, keep stages separate: `chore(release): prepare <target>` or `chore(release): align installation references for <target>`. Report target/stage, changed files, verification, material uncertainty, and actual commit/push/PR state.

----
-
-# Test Coverage Improver
-
-Use this skill when you need a prioritized, risk-aware plan to improve tests from coverage results.
-
-## Usage assumptions
-- Focus scope is either changed lines/files, a module, or the whole repository.
-- Reuse a supplied coverage artifact when its revision, scope, and format match.
-- If required context is missing, call out assumptions explicitly before proposing work.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Define scope and baseline
-   - Derive the revision and scope from the request, diff, or supplied report.
-   - Default to the affected files/module; whole-workspace coverage requires that
-     scope in the request. Ask only if a wrong scope would change the result.
-
-2. Obtain coverage evidence
-   - First inspect a matching existing artifact; do not regenerate it merely
-     because this skill was selected.
-   - If measurement is needed, read the Coverage section of
-     [the testing guide](../../../docs/testing/README.md#coverage), check disk
-     space/tool availability, and select package/test-scoped `cargo llvm-cov`
-     using the repository's nextest configuration. `make coverage` measures the
-     whole workspace (excluding E2E) and is only for that requested scope.
-   - Collect only metrics the report supports. Missing branch/changed-line
-     coverage is unknown, not zero.
-   - If measurement cannot run, continue with code-based test proposals and
-     mark measured coverage unverified; do not invent a coverage percentage.
-
-3. Rank highest-risk gaps
-   - Prioritize changed code, branch coverage gaps, and low-confidence boundaries.
-   - Apply the risk rubric in [coverage-prioritization.md](references/coverage-prioritization.md).
-   - Report up to 5–8 evidenced gaps; do not pad a small scope.
-   - For each gap, capture: file, lines, uncovered branches, and estimated risk score.
-
-4. Propose high-impact tests
-   - For each gap, name the behavior and regression, distinguishing assertions,
-     relevant normal/edge/failure cases, necessary setup, and estimated effort.
-   - Include only scenarios and setup that apply; reuse shared fixture details.
-
-5. Close with validation plan
-   - State which gaps remain after proposals.
-   - Give a scoped verification command and behavior-based acceptance criterion;
-     use a coverage threshold only when the task or repository requires one.
-   - List assumptions or blockers (environment, fixtures, flaky dependencies).
-
-## Report
-
-Summarize the supported metrics, then combine each ranked gap with its proposed
-test and validation. Include source lines only when supplied or inspected;
-mark missing metrics or locations as unknown. Do not duplicate gaps and tests
-in separate templates or fill empty categories for an otherwise small report.

+
+        **Not supported:** NFS, SMB/Samba/CIFS, and other remote or shared filesystems as RustFS data directories. This also applies to the underlying host storage for Docker volumes and Kubernetes PersistentVolumes.
+
+        Reports that only reproduce on unsupported storage will be closed without investigation. Please reproduce the issue on supported storage before submitting a bug report.
+
+        See [Disk Planning and File System Selection](https://docs.rustfs.com/en/installation/linux/prerequisites-and-service) for details.

+# Merges `main` into the long-lived `gateway/integration` branch every weekday
+# so the s3s -> gateway migration (rustfs/backlog#2734, task T0.1 in #2736)
+# never accumulates merge debt. A clean merge lands as a `--no-ff` merge commit
+# pushed straight to the branch. A conflicting merge is aborted and surfaced as
+# a pull request from `sync/<source>-<date>`, whose head is the un-merged
+# source commit, so the conflict is resolved the same day, in review, with no
+# other change riding along. The run itself stays green in that case: the pull
+# request is the signal. Any other failure (push rejected, pull request not
+# created) fails the run and, on the schedule, files the shared failure issue.
+#
+# Resolving a conflict pull request: merge `origin/gateway/integration` into
+# the sync branch, resolve, push, get the review. Land it with a fast-forward
+# push of the resolved merge commit to `gateway/integration`, not with the
+# squash button: a squash drops the merge ancestry and the same hunks conflict
+# again on the next run.
+#
+# Write scope: only `gateway/integration` and `sync/*` are ever pushed, and
+# both push targets below are literal refs. The pushes use a one-hour
+# installation token of the organisation's own GitHub App (contents: write)
+# because that app is the only non-admin bypass actor of the
+# `gateway/integration` ruleset; GITHUB_TOKEN cannot be a ruleset bypass actor,
+# so it cannot push through the required reviews and checks. The conflict pull
+# request is opened with FLAKE_UPDATE_TOKEN, the PAT that already opens the
+# weekly flake.lock pull requests, because this repository keeps "Allow GitHub
+# Actions to create and approve pull requests" switched off. GITHUB_TOKEN is
+# therefore read-only here.
+#
+# `schedule` fires only from the default branch, so the cron is live once this
+# file exists on `main`. `workflow_dispatch` runs from any ref that carries the
+# file and always acts on `gateway/integration`.

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -25,6 +25,9 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - **Presigned URLs honour only signed headers** (GHSA-g8w9-qw9q-fghr): a SigV4 presigned request that carries an `x-amz-*` request header not listed in `X-Amz-SignedHeaders` is now rejected with `403 AccessDenied` ("There were headers present in the request which were not signed"), matching AWS S3. Previously the holder of a presigned `PutObject` URL could add unsigned `x-amz-tagging`, `x-amz-storage-class`, `x-amz-website-redirect-location`, ACL, metadata, Object Lock or SSE headers and have them applied. Presigners that intend a property must set it before signing so the SDK lists the header in `SignedHeaders`; `x-amz-cf-id` (CloudFront) remains tolerated unsigned. Header-signed SigV4 and SigV2 requests are unchanged.
 
 ### Fixed
+- **SSE-C TLS requirement now covers copy-source keys**: with `RUSTFS_SSE_C_REQUIRE_TLS=true`, a `CopyObject` or `UploadPartCopy` that carried only the `x-amz-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-*` headers (an SSE-C source copied to a destination that is not SSE-C) was accepted on a plaintext transport and was not counted in `rustfs_ssec_plaintext_requests_total`, although those headers carry the source object's customer key. They now count as SSE-C headers: such requests are counted, and refused with `400 InvalidRequest` when the switch is on. Requests over TLS are unaffected.
+- **SSE-KMS encryption context could replace the location entry**: data keys are wrapped under an encryption-context entry, keyed by the bucket name, that ties them to the object's location. A client `x-amz-server-side-encryption-context` entry under the same key replaced it, and because the client context is stored with the object, the replacement also applied on every read. SSE-KMS writes now refuse such a context with `400 InvalidArgument`; other keys, including the names of other buckets, are unaffected. Objects stored with such an entry by an earlier release remain readable. See `docs/operations/kms-backend-security.md`.
+- **Two admin handlers reported a missing policy or user as `500 InternalError`**: `GET /rustfs/admin/v3/info-canned-policy` and `DELETE /rustfs/admin/v3/remove-user` wrapped every IAM error as an internal fault instead of classifying it, so a lookup for something that does not exist answered `500 InternalError` where the rest of the admin API answers `404 NoSuchResource` — `GET /rustfs/admin/v3/user-info` already did, and `iam_error_to_s3_error` already mapped `NoSuchPolicy`, `NoSuchUser`, `NoSuchServiceAccount` and `NoSuchTempAccount` to `NoSuchResource`. A client could not tell "does not exist" from a real server failure, and a controller that checks existence before creating (a Kubernetes operator reconciling policies or users) could never create the object: the missing-policy lookup failed with a `500` and it retried forever. Both handlers now map their IAM errors through the shared `iam_error_to_s3_error` helper, so a missing policy or user is `404 NoSuchResource` and the `error` is preserved as the S3 error's source; the three IAM calls in the removal path (temporary-user lookup, service-account lookup, delete) are all reclassified, and every other IAM error stays `500 InternalError`. Fixes #8117.
 - **Vault backends accepted key names that escape the key prefix**: only the Local backend refused a key identifier containing a path separator, so on Vault KV2 `POST /rustfs/admin/v3/kms/keys` with a name such as `bad/name` succeeded and created a nested KV2 path that the key listing then reported as a directory rather than a key, and an identifier containing `..` addressed a record outside the configured key prefix once the HTTP client normalised the URL. Both Vault backends now apply the Local backend's containment rule at the point where the identifier becomes a path or a Transit key name: an empty identifier, one containing `/`, `\\` or NUL, or the dot segments `.` and `..` is refused with `400` (`InvalidKey`) before any request reaches Vault. The AWS backend is unaffected, since it addresses keys by ARN and alias. A Vault deployment that created such a key on an earlier build must re-create it under a plain name; objects encrypted under the old name stay readable only until that key is refused, so migrate them first. Refs rustfs/backlog#2474.
 - **Fresh multi-pool bootstrap with distinct format creators**: a new deployment whose pools have their first endpoint on different nodes (for example two single-node pools) could never publish its initial `pool.bin`: each node held fresh-bootstrap proof only for the pool it formatted, the deployment-wide proof collapsed to none, and every node died with `pool metadata recovery required: no durable bootstrap identity or pool.bin replica is available` after the startup retry budget. The first pool's creator now mints the pending cluster identity on its own pool, every other creator copies that nonce-bound identity onto the pool it formatted first-hand, and the elected writer publishes `pool.bin` once every pool replica carries the same pending identity. Corrupt or disagreeing replicas, pools that merely have a format, expansion pools joining an initialized deployment, and restarts without first-hand proof still fail closed. Non-elected nodes that start before `pool.bin` exists, and the elected writer while it waits for the other creators, no longer latch their pool-metadata write gate for the life of the process. Refs rustfs/backlog#2338, rustfs/backlog#2375.
 - **Lock RPC timeout storms** (#7363): the remote lock client no longer evicts and re-dials the shared internode HTTP/2 channel on every request deadline. A timeout evicts only when the peer has not completed any lock RPC for two deadlines, evictions and transport-failure re-dials are rate limited per peer (`RUSTFS_OBJECT_LOCK_RPC_EVICTION_COOLDOWN_MS`, default 5 s), and a timed-out request is left running instead of being reset (bounded per peer by `RUSTFS_OBJECT_LOCK_RPC_DETACHED_LIMIT`, default 256), so a slow lock endpoint can no longer drive the `RST_STREAM`/`GOAWAY too_many_resets`/reconnect loop. A lock granted after its caller timed out is released immediately, and unlocks that fail the quick retries continue on a deferred 1/2/4/8/16 s schedule before the server lease reclaims them. New `rustfs_remote_lock_*` metrics cover timeouts, evictions, suppressed evictions, detached streams, late completions and late releases per peer.

 Notes:
 - `RUSTFS_NOTIFY_ENABLE=true` enables the global notify module switch.
 - For ARN `arn:rustfs:sqs::primary:webhook`, use instance-scoped env vars with `_PRIMARY`.
-- If queue dir is omitted, default is `/opt/rustfs/events`; ensure it is writable by the container runtime user.
+- If queue dir is omitted, the official image maps `/opt/rustfs/events` into the persistent `/data` volume so it is writable by the runtime user and pending events survive container recreation. Override `queue_dir` when using another deployment layout.
 - `RUSTFS_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY_PRIMARY` defaults to `false`; enabling it skips webhook TLS certificate verification, allows MITM attacks, and emits a startup warning. Prefer `RUSTFS_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_CLIENT_CA_PRIMARY` for private CAs.
