 ## Prerequisites
 
+- RustFS server binary
 - `awscurl` utility for admin API calls
 - AWS SDK for Rust (included in the project)
 
 ## Running Tests
 
+### Run All Policy Tests Using Unified Test Runner
+
+```bash
+# Run all policy tests with comprehensive reporting
+# Note: Requires a RustFS server running on localhost:9000
+cargo test -p e2e_test policy::test_runner::test_policy_full_suite -- --nocapture --ignored  --test-threads=1

+
 ### Run All Policy Tests
 
 ```bash
 # From the project root directory
-cargo test -p e2e_test policy:: -- --nocapture
-```
-
-Each test starts an isolated RustFS server on a dynamically allocated local port and cleans it up afterward.

-# CI gate matrix
-
-This file is the source of truth for which validation runs on each event, its
-configured wall-clock budget, and whether it can block a merge. Test taxonomy,
-naming, and nextest serialization rules remain in [README.md](README.md); e2e
-membership and counts remain in
-[e2e-suite-inventory.md](e2e-suite-inventory.md).
-
-The distinction between **required** and **report-only** is load-bearing:
-a failing job blocks a merge only when its exact check name is present in the
-live `main` ruleset. A workflow name, a `merge_group` trigger, or a red PR check
-does not make a job required by itself.
-
-## Required merge checks
-
-The live `main` ruleset (`6436880`) currently requires exactly these contexts:
-
-| Required context | Producer | Validation |
-|---|---|---|
-| `CLA Check` | `.github/workflows/cla.yml` | Contributor agreement |
-| `Quick Checks` | `.github/workflows/ci.yml` | Formatting and repository guard scripts |
-| `Test and Lint` | `.github/workflows/ci.yml` | Clippy, workspace nextest excluding `e2e_test`, doctests, and migration proofs |
-
-For pull requests limited to the paths excluded by the main CI workflow,
-`.github/workflows/ci-docs-only.yml` reports `Quick Checks` and
-`Test and Lint` under the same names. It runs the real quick checks and the
-planning-document guard; it does not claim that Rust compilation or runtime
-tests ran. Despite the workflow name, these paths also include selected deploy,
-workflow, and lock files.
-
-Verify the live rule rather than trusting this snapshot before changing merge
-policy:
-
-```bash
-gh api repos/rustfs/rustfs/rulesets/6436880 \
-  --jq '.rules[] | select(.type == "required_status_checks") | .parameters'
-```
-
-The ruleset currently has `strict_required_status_checks_policy=false`.
-`Continuous Integration` accepts `merge_group` events and runs `e2e-full` for
-them, but `End-to-End Tests (full merge gate)` is not currently a required
-context. Therefore the repository is prepared to test a merge-queue SHA, but
-the workflow alone does not prove that every merge passed that lane.
-
-## Pull request and merge matrix
-
-Budgets below are job `timeout-minutes`, not typical runtimes. “Report-only”
-means the result is visible and actionable but is not in the live required
-context list.
-
-| Event | Validation | Budget | Merge status | Reproduction |

-
-The authoritative e2e filters live in `.config/nextest.toml`; extend a profile
-instead of adding a second ad-hoc selector. Before a profile runs,
-`scripts/check_test_wiring.py` compares its exact membership to the committed
-digest so a silent test drop fails closed.
-
-## Scheduled and manual validation
-
-Scheduled lanes are independent fault domains. They do not block a pull
-request, but their workflow-local gate can fail the run and scheduled failures
-are routed to the shared failure-issue action. The scheduled-validation
-watchdog and freshness workflow separately detect incomplete runs and missing
-schedules.
-
-| Cadence (UTC unless noted) | Workflow / validation | Budget | Verdict and artifacts | Reproduction |
-|---|---|---:|---|---|
-| Daily 02:17 | Fuzz: five nightly corpus targets | 60 min build; 60 min per target | Gate; corpus/crash artifacts, scheduled failure alert | `MAX_TOTAL_TIME=<seconds> ./scripts/fuzz/run.sh` |
-| Daily 03:17 | MinIO interop (EC + SSE read parity) | 40 min | Gate; scheduled failure alert | Dispatch `minio-interop.yml` or follow its pinned Docker fixture steps |
-| Daily 04:29 | Replication / cluster-fault / protocol e2e | 45 / 90 / 90 min | Three independent gates; JUnit, membership, and server logs | `cargo nextest run --profile e2e-repl-nightly -p e2e_test`; `--profile e2e-nightly`; `-j 1 --profile e2e-protocols` |
-| Daily 06:31 | Warp performance A/B | 180 min | Regression budget gate; A/B summaries and server logs | `bash scripts/run_hotpath_warp_abba.sh --help` |
-| Daily 00:07 Asia/Shanghai (16:07 UTC previous day) | Nightly GNU build and Vault lanes | 150 / 90 / 60 min | Build, live Vault, and HA failover gates | Use the commands and pinned Vault images in `nightly-gnu.yml` |
-| Daily 03:23 | Security Audit | 20 / 5 min, plus 30 min on PR dependency review | Cargo Deny and workflow-pin gates; scheduled failure alert | `cargo deny check`; `scripts/security/check_workflow_pins.sh` |
-| Daily 23:47 | Scheduled Validation Freshness | 10 min | Fails when a critical schedule was never created or is stale | Dispatch `scheduled-validation-freshness.yml` |
-| Sunday 00:11 | Full `Continuous Integration` matrix | Per-job budgets above | Weekly variant coverage, including dormant rio-v2 binary/e2e lanes | Dispatch `ci.yml` |
-| Sunday 01:13 | Seven-platform build matrix | 150 min per platform | Build/package integrity; scheduled failure alert | Dispatch `build.yml` with an exact platform set |
-| Sunday 02:19 | Ceph s3-tests full sweep: single and real four-node, four shards each | 180 min per shard | Compatibility gate; report, JUnit, exact node IDs, and server logs | `scripts/s3-tests/run.sh` against an existing single or distributed target |
-| Sunday 06:41 | Mint | 120 min | **Report-only by design**; per-suite PASS/FAIL/NA and raw `log.json` | Reproduce the pinned Docker sequence in `mint.yml` or dispatch it |
-| Sunday 07:43 | Workspace line coverage | 120 min | Report-only trend; lcov and JSON retained 90 days | `make coverage` |
-| Monthly, day 1 06:37 | Runner Hygiene | 15 min | Validates runner ephemerality; scheduled failure alert | Dispatch `runner-hygiene.yml` |
-
-Manual `workflow_dispatch` exists for the scheduled workflows above. Manual
-runs are debugging evidence and intentionally do not open scheduled-failure
-issues. A manual performance run may explicitly allow a known regression; that
-override must not be treated as an ordinary passing baseline.
-
-## Release validation
-
-Release validation is post-merge and tag-driven; it does not substitute for a
-pull-request gate.
-
-| Event | Validation | Budget | Result |
-|---|---|---:|---|
-| Push to `main` or weekly schedule | `Build and Release` platform matrix | 150 min per platform | Build artifacts for all selected targets; no release publication on a main push |
-| Valid release or preview tag | `Build and Release` plus asset checks | 150 min per platform | Draft release, checksummed assets, and publish step |
-| Successful non-preview release-tag build | Docker image build and image scan | 60 min build; 30 min scan | Multi-architecture images plus vulnerability report |
-| Successful release-tag build | DEB/RPM packaging | 30 min per architecture | Packages and checksum files uploaded to the release |
-| Successful non-preview release-tag build | Helm template test and package | 30 min build; 30 min publish | Versioned chart and repository index |
-
-Use an exact preview tag for end-to-end release rehearsal. Manual dispatches
-are backfill/debug paths and do not prove the automatic `workflow_run` chain.
-
-## Evidence requirements
-
-A green check is useful only when it proves the intended behavior ran:
-
-- Record the exact commit SHA and run URL.
-- Separate product failure from runner prerequisites, service readiness, and
-  cancellation. Repair the precondition, then rerun the exact workload.
-- Preserve membership manifests, JUnit, raw compatibility logs, seeds, and
-  server logs where the workflow provides them.
-- For a bug fix or a new fault checker, provide sensitivity evidence: the old
-  behavior or an intentional mutation must fail the new oracle, and the fixed
-  behavior must pass it.
-- Never promote a report-only lane to required from one green run. Require at
-  least 14 days and 30 representative pull requests with at least 99% complete
-  execution, then update the ruleset and this table together.
-
-## Change checklist
-
-Update this file in the same pull request when any of these change:
-
-- workflow triggers, job names, timeouts, or nextest profile ownership;
-- required status contexts or strict/merge-queue policy;
-- scheduled cadence, alert routing, artifact contract, or local reproduction;
-- report-only versus gating semantics.
-
-Do not copy per-module test counts here. Update
-[e2e-suite-inventory.md](e2e-suite-inventory.md) and its enforced membership
-digest instead.
