fix(ecstore): preserve remote preparation corruption

Encode actual reader data into private local shards and recover matching write-quorum receipts. Preserve original metadata and namespace owners across retries and cancellation, without granting publication authority.

Validate with 13 focused tests and two rejected digest/quorum mutations. Document the preparation and recovery boundary.

-//! Dual-stack differential: one `rustfs` binary, two processes, one SDK script (rustfs/backlog#2740).
-//!
-//! Stack A always runs `RUSTFS_S3_STACK=legacy`. Stack B runs the value of `RUSTFS_E2E_STACK_B`
-//! (default `legacy` until the gateway stack is assembled), and `RUSTFS_E2E_STACK_B_REGION`, when
-//! set, starts B in another region so that a difference can be injected by hand. Both servers
-//! answer the script in `scenarios`, which covers every operation of `impl S3 for FS`; `compare`
-//! reports each `(op, field, a, b)` on which the answers differ, and every run writes its report
-//! to `<target>/dual-stack/<run>.json`. Two processes, not two embedded servers: bucket metadata
-//! is process-global, so two stacks in one process would read each other's buckets.

-//! Byte-level goldens for the 13 persisted bucket-configuration XML families
-//! (rustfs/backlog#2744).
-//!
-//! Responsible for: pinning the exact bytes that `deserialize` followed by
-//! `serialize` produces for every family in its three source shapes (AWS
-//! documentation shape, MinIO-written shape, RustFS-written shape), and the
-//! exact bytes RustFS writes for a typed value. Only bytes are compared; a
-//! structural comparison would let a codec replacement change the persisted
-//! encoding without failing here.
-//!
-//! Not responsible for: validating configurations, touching the bucket
-//! metadata store, or choosing a canonical shape.
-//!
-//! Upstream: the bucket-config `deserialize`/`serialize` pair, reached through the
-//! integration-test facade `tests/storage_api.rs`, and the s3s DTOs they are generic over. Downstream: the DTO/codec
-//! replacement (T1.4) and the persisted-bytes comparison (T3.7), which must
-//! keep every golden green without regenerating it. Regeneration is reserved
-//! to `scripts/gen_bucket_config_goldens.sh`, which sets
-//! `BUCKET_CONFIG_GOLDENS_WRITE`: in that mode every test writes its files
-//! and then fails on purpose, so a write run never prints a green line.

-# Persisted bucket-configuration XML goldens (rustfs/backlog#2744)
-
-Byte-level goldens for the 13 XML families that `BucketMetadata` persists as
-`*_config_xml`. They pin what `rustfs_ecstore::api::bucket::utils::deserialize`
-followed by `serialize` emits today, so that the DTO/codec replacement (T1.4)
-and the persisted-bytes comparison (T3.7) can be proven byte-identical: an
-older binary must keep reading what a newer one writes, and the reverse.
-
-Generated at commit: `6b1554003ebf8f2037ffb7da9c9b906527e758da` (2026-10-07T17:40:56Z)
-
-Checked by `crates/ecstore/tests/bucket_config_goldens.rs`
-(`cargo nextest run -p rustfs-ecstore bucket_config_goldens`, 39 tests).
-Generated once by `scripts/gen_bucket_config_goldens.sh`, which records the
-commit above and refuses to run again unless `--force` is passed. Do not
-regenerate after a DTO or codec replacement: at that point a diff here is the
-finding, not noise.
-
-## Layout
-
-`<family>/<shape>.in.xml` is an input; `<family>/<shape>.out.xml` is the exact
-bytes of `serialize(deserialize(in))` on the generating commit. The test
-asserts `bytes == out` (never structural equality), that `out` is a fixed point
-of the same round trip, and for the `rustfs` shape that `serialize(typed
-value)` still equals `rustfs.in.xml`.
-
-| Shape | Source |
-| --- | --- |
-| `aws` | Written for this corpus from the public S3 XML schema in the shape of the AWS documentation examples: XML declaration, `xmlns` on the root, indented. No AWS prose is copied. |
-| `minio` | The bytes a MinIO server persists. Seven families are carved verbatim out of `../minio/bucket_metadata.blob.hex` (MinIO `RELEASE.2025-07-23T15-54-02Z`); the rest are hand-shaped as compact Go `encoding/xml` output with the S3 namespace on the root, because MinIO does not persist those families. |
-| `rustfs` | The bytes RustFS writes today through `serialize` for a typed value (`rustfs_values` in the test). This shape carries the MinIO-only members RustFS accepts (`DelMarkerExpiration`, `ExcludeFolders`, `ExcludedPrefixes`, `DeleteReplication`). |
-
-| Family | Root element | `minio.in.xml` provenance |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `notification` | `NotificationConfiguration` | MinIO fixture |
-| `lifecycle` | `LifecycleConfiguration` | MinIO fixture (carries the MinIO `ExpiryUpdatedAt` extension) |
-| `object_lock` | `ObjectLockConfiguration` | MinIO fixture |
-| `versioning` | `VersioningConfiguration` | MinIO fixture |
-| `encryption` | `ServerSideEncryptionConfiguration` | MinIO fixture |
-| `tagging` | `Tagging` | MinIO fixture |
-| `replication` | `ReplicationConfiguration` | MinIO fixture |
-| `cors` | `CORSConfiguration` | hand-shaped |
-| `logging` | `BucketLoggingStatus` | hand-shaped |
-| `website` | `WebsiteConfiguration` | hand-shaped |
-| `accelerate` | `AccelerateConfiguration` | hand-shaped |
-| `request_payment` | `RequestPaymentConfiguration` | hand-shaped |
-| `public_access_block` | `PublicAccessBlockConfiguration` | hand-shaped |
-
-## Unknown elements
-
-`replication/aws.in.xml` is the unknown-element sample from
-`crates/replication/src/config.rs`
-(`s3_xml_parser_discards_unknown_replication_elements_before_validation`),
-re-indented to two spaces. Its golden proves the root-level `FutureTopLevel`
-element is skipped on read and never re-emitted on write, which is the
-persisted-configuration exception recorded in the root `AGENTS.md`. On the
-generating commit every one of the 13 root elements skips unknown children;
-nested members (`Rule`, `Filter`, `Destination`, ...) reject them. A
-replacement codec must keep that boundary where it is.
