chore: strengthen agent delivery standards and validation (#9058)

* chore(deps): refresh crates and adopt released aws-sigv4

Run two update/upgrade rounds for the main and standalone fuzz workspaces.
Replace the temporary SigV4a Git override with aws-sigv4 1.6.4 from the
registry and remove its obsolete source permission.

Pin OpenID Connect to e20ddbb01ca68356f2979bc125f5613ab45b4e7e. Upgrade
async-nats to 0.51.0, hotpath to 0.30.0, libunftp to 0.24.0, and the TOML
test dependency to 1.1.8. Retain Arrow/Parquet 59.3.2 for DataFusion 55.2.0
and keep the fuzz PKCS#1 version compatible with pinned RSA rc.18.

* fix(deps): retain safe openidconnect pin against HMAC panic

The e20ddbb pin verifies HMAC signatures with mac.verify(signature.into()),
which panics in generic-array on malformed length instead of returning
InvalidIdentityToken. Retain the previous reviewed pin that uses
verify_slice and add a malformed-signature regression covering HS256,
HS384, and HS512.

* chore(deps): upgrade sysinfo to 0.40.0

Update the main and standalone fuzz lockfiles. Adapt fallible system
queries, CPU usage accessors, and OS-native network interface names.
Preserve process sampling fallbacks and report unavailable diagnostic
sources without panicking. Cover missing host and process collectors.

Validation: 167 focused tests passed; production and all five fuzz targets
passed cargo check. Formatting, logging guardrails, and the existing
dependency policy passed. Linux and Windows runtime checks were not run.

* fix(ci): use the admin error facade for sysinfo failures

Keep the sysinfo initialization error behind the existing admin S3 facade.
The facade builds the same error code and message without expanding the
direct S3 error-macro surface guarded by the migration ratchet.

Validation: S3 footprint guard, formatting, whitespace, and production
cargo check with sftp, hotpath, and connect_top_net passed.

* chore(deps): refresh hotpath and ctutils (#9055)

Run two cargo update/upgrade rounds in both the main and fuzz workspaces
on top of PR #9047. Upgrade the hotpath family to 0.30.1 and ctutils to
0.4.7. Retain fuzz pkcs1 0.8.0-rc.4 for the pinned RSA 0.10.0-rc.18;
rc.5 fails to compile against that RSA version.

Validation: 1096 library tests passed with 19 skipped; upstream ctutils
and hotpath-drain property/concurrency suites passed. Production and all
five fuzz targets passed cargo check. Formatting, S3 footprint, and the
existing dependency policy passed.

-  changes. Run correctness and simplicity lenses.

-  persistence/fsync, IAM/KMS/auth, cryptography, on-disk/on-wire formats, and

 # Implementation Rules
 
-Applies when changing code or running artifact-heavy work. Paths below
-are repository-relative. Read only the relevant sections during read-only review.
+These implementation, style, and quality rules apply to all contributions, regardless of author or editor. Paths below are repository-relative. Read only the relevant sections during read-only review; select verification from the root `AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Shared Style Contract
+
+- Use the toolchain declared in `rust-toolchain.toml`, respect the minimum supported Rust version in `Cargo.toml`, and let `rustfmt.toml` and the configured Rust/Clippy lints define mechanical style. Do not override repository settings with personal formatter or lint preferences.
+- Follow the owning module's organization, imports, and domain terminology where repository rules leave a choice. Existing violations do not justify new ones; avoid unrelated cleanup in a focused change.
+- Rules using "must" or "do not" are requirements. Rules using "prefer" are defaults; depart when correctness, ownership, performance, or readability benefits justify it. Explain consequential tradeoffs, not every idiomatic choice. Where several approaches meet the contract equally well, the implementer chooses.
+- Follow the declared toolchain locally and the affected CI lane's toolchain for reproduction. The repository currently tracks `stable`; for a formatter/lint mismatch, compare `rustc -Vv`, `cargo fmt --version`, and `cargo clippy --version` with the failing run before changing code. Toolchain upgrades must keep local and CI settings aligned and pass their affected gates; do not silently raise `rust-version` or change lint policy to make a check pass.
 
 ## Worktree and Disk Hygiene
 
-- Start implementation from the latest `origin/main` and confirm the requested
-  change is not already present.
-- An existing clean, isolated task worktree is sufficient. Create another
-  worktree only when the current checkout is shared, dirty with unrelated work,
-  or belongs to another task.
+- For a new task, start from the latest `origin/main` unless a different base is requested, and confirm the requested change is not already present. When continuing existing work or a PR, preserve its branch, base, and task-owned changes; do not restart it from `main`.
+- An existing clean, isolated task worktree is sufficient. Create another worktree only when the current checkout is shared, dirty with unrelated work, or belongs to another task.
 - Never commit from a shared checkout.
-- Use a task-specific branch named `<type>/<topic>`, such as `fix/...`,
-  `feat/...`, `test/...`, or `docs/...`, unless the user specifies a name.
-- Do not include agent, tool, contributor, account, or organization names in
-  branch names.
-- Push to the user-requested remote or the repository's configured push remote.
-  Do not hard-code or infer a remote from an account name.
-- Check free space before artifact-heavy builds, tests, coverage, or downloads.
-  Re-check before a broad gate when space is tight.
-- Remove only task-owned temporary/build artifacts. Never delete another task's
-  worktree or uncommitted data.
-- At handoff, mention disk or cleanup details only when they affected execution
-  or artifacts/worktrees remain intentionally.
+- Use a task-specific branch named `<type>/<topic>`, such as `fix/...`, `feat/...`, `test/...`, or `docs/...`, unless the user specifies a name.

+- At handoff, mention disk or cleanup details only when they affected execution or artifacts/worktrees remain intentionally.
+- For Docker verification, ensure the tested image contains the intended binary. `buildx build` without `--load` leaves the image in the build cache; use the Makefile's loaded image and rebuild without cache only when stale artifacts are evidenced.
 
 ## Change Style
 
-- Preserve existing control flow unless changing it is required for correctness.
-- Prefer a direct local edit over new files, wrappers, managers, or speculative
-  abstractions.
-- Add a helper only when it removes current duplication, names a real domain
-  boundary, or isolates a non-trivial invariant.
-- Remove an in-scope path superseded by the change. If compatibility requires it,
-  adapt at the boundary to one canonical core and use the repository's
-  `RUSTFS_COMPAT_TODO` policy.
-- Comments explain non-obvious invariants or reasons. Do not narrate code or
-  record change history.
+- Preserve unrelated control flow. Restructure touched code only when needed for the requested behavior or an explicitly requested refactor; style preferences alone do not justify changing execution order or cleanup behavior.
+- Prefer a direct local edit over new files, wrappers, managers, or speculative abstractions.
+- Add a helper only when it removes current duplication, names a real domain boundary, or isolates a non-trivial invariant. Keep helpers near the code they support when the module's organization permits it.
+- Remove an in-scope path superseded by the change. If compatibility requires it, adapt at the boundary to one canonical core and use the repository's `RUSTFS_COMPAT_TODO` policy.
+- Comments explain non-obvious invariants or reasons. Do not narrate code or record change history.
 - Mention unrelated problems when useful; do not fix them in a narrow task.
 
+## Rust Style
+
+These repository-owned rules incorporate selected ideas from the [OpenCode style guide](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/dev/AGENTS.md#style-guide), adapted to RustFS. That link is background, not an additional rule source. Apply these defaults to new or changed code; correctness and domain invariants take priority.
+
+- Default to immutable `let` bindings; use `mut` for actual state changes. Prefer `if` or `match` expressions when branches compute a value instead of initializing a placeholder and reassigning it.
+- Use type inference for obvious local values. Add annotations when inference needs help or the numeric, collection, or error type matters to understanding the code. Keep explicit types in function signatures and public contracts.
+- Keep the main path readable with guard clauses, `let ... else`, and `?` when immediate propagation is correct. Preserve explicit handling for recovery, cleanup, aggregation, and quorum decisions; `if`/`else` expressions and exhaustive `match` remain idiomatic.
+- Prefer readable iterator chains for straightforward mapping and filtering. Keep loops when they make state changes, early exits, or async operations clearer. Do not add intermediate collections or clones just to use iterators.
+- Inline trivial single-use expressions only when a binding adds no meaning. Keep names that explain domain concepts, aid debugging, or make ownership and guard lifetimes clear. Do not change lock release or drop timing for style.
+- Keep pure parsing, validation, and option-building helpers synchronous unless an async interface contract requires otherwise. This does not make blocking I/O or CPU-heavy work safe to run on async executor threads; offload it when needed to keep those threads responsive.
+
 ## Reuse and Boundary Rules
 
-- Before adding helpers, constants, fixtures, or wrappers, search the touched
-  crate, the domain-owning crate, `crates/utils`, `crates/common`, and relevant
-  direct dependencies.
-- Reuse requires matching semantics: normalization, error types, deadlines,
-  durability, and compatibility must fit the call site. A narrowly named local
-  helper is better than forced reuse with different semantics.
-- Validate untrusted input at its trust boundary, then trust the validated type.
-  Values crossing disk, RPC, persistence, or version boundaries remain
-  untrusted at every consumer.
-- Re-check boundary values immediately before destructive actions such as
-  delete, overwrite, or quorum decisions.
-- Every new branch needs a concrete triggering input/state. For decoded or peer
-  data, corruption and mixed-version input are valid triggers.
-- Required values must return a typed error when absent or corrupt; do not use a
-  default that converts corruption into a plausible result.
-- Attach error context once where it is actionable. Do not erase typed errors
-  below aggregation or quorum layers.
+- Before adding helpers, constants, fixtures, or wrappers, search the touched code and domain owner; check `crates/utils`, `crates/common`, and direct dependencies when they could own the behavior. Stop once the relevant reuse boundary is clear.
+- Reuse requires matching semantics: normalization, error types, deadlines, durability, and compatibility must fit the call site. A narrowly named local helper is better than forced reuse with different semantics.
+- Validate untrusted input at the boundary that owns it, then pass validated types inward without repeating checks whose guarantees still hold. Deserializing into a Rust type alone does not establish domain validity. Values newly read from disk, RPC, persistence, or another version must be validated at that consuming boundary.
+- For destructive actions such as delete or overwrite and for quorum decisions, check the relevant identity, generation, and authority under the operation's existing synchronization or precondition contract. A separate unguarded recheck does not prevent a check/use race.
+- Every new control-flow branch needs a concrete triggering input/state. For decoded or peer data, corruption and mixed-version input are valid triggers.
+- Required values must return a typed error when absent or corrupt; do not use a default that converts corruption into a plausible result.
+- Attach error context once where it is actionable. Do not erase typed errors below aggregation or quorum layers.
 
 ## Rust Boundaries
 
-- Production `unwrap`/`expect` must follow a type guarantee or checked invariant; explain only non-obvious guarantees.
+- Production `unwrap`/`expect` must follow a type guarantee or checked invariant; explain only non-obvious guarantees. Stricter scoped prohibitions, including `crates/AGENTS.md`, still apply. Invalid client, disk, or peer data must return errors rather than trigger panics.
 - Public APIs do not return `Result<_, String>`. Library APIs use domain errors unless intentional erasure is part of the boundary contract; expose a stored inner error through `Error::source()`.
 - Numeric conversions must not silently truncate. Use fallible conversions for untrusted values; validate finiteness, sign, and range before float-to-integer conversion. Clamp/saturate only when required by the domain.
 - Do not add crate-root `#![allow(dead_code)]`.
 
 ## Naming
 
-Use Rust API naming: `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` constants/statics, `snake_case`
-functions/variables, and `PascalCase` types. Do not rename unrelated existing
-violations.
+Use Rust API naming: `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` constants/statics, `snake_case` functions/variables/modules, and `PascalCase` types/traits. Name domain concepts and include units where a value would otherwise be ambiguous; do not optimize for short names. Do not rename public, serialized, or persisted fields merely to match a local style preference, or rename unrelated existing violations.
+
+## API and Operational Contracts
+
+- For new or changed public APIs, document the caller-visible behavior and relevant `# Errors`, `# Panics`, and `# Safety` conditions. Include a useful example or link to one when usage is non-obvious; avoid boilerplate sections that say nothing. Follow the [Rust API documentation guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/documentation.html) within the scope of the change.
+- For async or storage APIs, state cancellation, retry/idempotency, partial-completion, ownership, and durability guarantees when callers rely on them. Make failure cleanup and commit points explicit in code and tests; do not imply atomicity that the implementation does not provide.
+- For protocol, persisted-format, configuration, dependency, or operational changes, check affected consumers and supported versions. Update relevant docs/examples and describe compatibility, upgrade/rollback limits, and new configuration defaults when they change. New dependencies must solve a current need and fit the workspace's license, toolchain, and feature policy.
+- For hot-path or resource-management changes, check allocation/copying, blocking, unbounded work, and lock duration where affected. Support performance claims with an appropriate measurement or clearly label them as expectations; a benchmark is not required for unrelated changes.
+
+## Behavioral Tests
+
+- For behavior changes, add or update the narrowest test that calls the real implementation and asserts an observable result. Existing tests can provide coverage when they directly exercise the changed behavior; do not duplicate production logic as the test oracle.
+- Cover the changed contract's relevant failure and boundary cases, not only success. A bug regression should fail without the fix; do not broaden assertions or rely only on a successful call when the result or side effect is what matters.
+- Follow `docs/testing/README.md` for test layers, runners, isolation, synchronization, and flaky tests. Use controlled clocks or explicit synchronization for time/concurrency tests instead of fixed sleeps, and keep waits bounded.
+- Report the checks actually run and their outcomes, including skipped or blocked checks and the behavior they leave unverified. Do not describe focused local checks as full CI coverage.

 ## Final PR Preflight
 
 Before creating or updating a PR, reuse completed review and verification:
 
-- Verify the actual base (normally `origin/main`) and the complete task diff,
-  including file names and whitespace. Exclude secrets, logs, generated
-  artifacts, and unrelated edits. Retain an existing PR's base unless requested.
-- Confirm the final diff passed the root verification tier; fix task-owned
-  failures and run missing scoped checks. Report unresolved required checks or
-  authority without expanding the task. Do not start another general review.
-- Keep the English Conventional Commit title at most 72 characters. Use the
-  template headings, actual checks, material risks, and rollback notes.
-- Immediately before writing to GitHub, confirm the head and task diff are
-  unchanged. Rerun only checks invalidated by edits or relevant state changes.

-  current state and next event to watch. Do not delay ordinary handoff with
-  fixed quiet-period sleeps.
-- For requested monitoring, use event-driven or bounded waits. Report only state
-  changes, actionable failures, or a meaningful prolonged delay.
-- Investigate failures/comments before changing code. Fix task-attributable
-  issues, rerun affected verification, push, reply or resolve the thread, then
-  resume the requested monitor.
-- Never merge without required reviewer approval or explicit authority.
-- After an observed merge, verify the commit reached the base, then clean the
-  task worktree/branch when safe. Preserve unmerged work for closed PRs unless
-  deletion was explicitly authorized.

-
-## Select Lenses
-
-Read only the references required by the diff:

-|---|---|
-| [Correctness](references/correctness.md) | Every non-exempt adversarial review |
-| [Simplicity](references/simplicity.md) | Mechanical/standard changes and production growth |

-## Review Protocol
-
-1. Freeze the exact final diff/head (or the design under review) and list the
-   selected lenses.
-2. Run the review shape required by the repository risk tier.
-3. For each selected lens, either report a concrete finding or a null verdict
-   naming the attacks performed.
-4. Apply root `AGENTS.md`'s finding standard. Test each candidate against callers,
-   existing coverage, and invariants before accepting it; an adversarial role
-   does not have to produce a defect.
-5. Fix or rebut supported findings with code-path, test, or invariant evidence.
-6. After a non-trivial edit, rerun only lenses affected by that edit against the
-   new exact diff.
-
-Do not turn a null verdict into a long checklist. Record concise evidence that
-the relevant failure classes were attacked, then stop under the root completion
-rule. Keep the required per-lens verdicts for high-risk PRs.

-# Compatibility Lens
-
-- Internal metadata uses `metadata_compat` helpers for dual RustFS/MinIO keys,
-  including mixed casing and removal of both twins.
-- Binary UUID metadata treats absent, empty, and nil as no value. Unversioned
-  remote tiers receive no `versionId`; versioned purge requests retain the real
-  version ID.
-- `xl.meta` changes preserve supported header/meta versions, recompute
-  signatures, decode legacy fixtures, and remain readable by old RustFS/MinIO.
-- Foreign/corrupt metadata validates parallel array lengths and missing fields;
-  it returns a decode error rather than indexing, panicking, or fabricating data.
-- Do not “correct” byte-for-byte MinIO ports without legacy fixture evidence.
-  Bitrot framing, shard math, distribution, and inline prefixes are contracts.
-- Client-visible metadata/events strip both internal prefixes
-  case-insensitively.
-- Proto fields are appended, never reused/renumbered; FlatBuffers tables extend
-  compatibly and absent new fields fail closed where authorization/quorum is
-  involved.
-- Replay real client request shapes and exact pagination boundaries for S3
-  handler changes.
-- Bucket metadata/IAM/config parsing remains compatible with pinned real MinIO
-  fixtures and encrypted migration data.
-- Compatibility shims use `RUSTFS_COMPAT_TODO(<task-id>)`, have a removal
-  condition, and default toward reading old data safely.
-
-## Outbound targets
-
-- A change to what the replication or migration client sends by default
-  (checksum policy, payload framing, headers, version-id addressing) is judged
-  against every target class, not the one it fixes. Name each target-side rule
-  the current default satisfies — checksum required with Object Lock
-  parameters, `aws-chunked` decoding, version-id adoption, ETag equals content
-  MD5 — and show which cell of
-  `crates/e2e_test/src/replication_target_matrix_test.rs` covers each.
-- A test that asserts the fix ("no trailer header") is not evidence; the
-  matrix cell that asserts the target accepted and stored the object is.
-- Every new environment escape hatch appears in
-  `docs/operations/replication-outbound-transport.md` in the same diff.

-# Concurrency and Durability Lens
-
-- For every changed lock, enumerate overlapping lock sets and construct the
-  ABBA interleaving. Multiple-lock order must be documented and consistent.
-- Mark guard lifetimes and every `.await`, disk,
-  and RPC call; estimate contention/timeouts. Tokio read/write guards across
-  `.await` need bounded hold time; long-lived reads can wedge writers (#4195).
-  Keep `std::sync::Mutex` holds brief and never across `.await`.
-- Use direct `fetch_*` for unconditional atomic read-modify-write and
-  `compare_exchange` for conditional updates.
-- Object commits remain fenced if the distributed lock is lost after shard
-  writes and before metadata rename.
-- For write/rename changes, trace `write tmp -> sync tmp -> rename -> sync parent
-  -> sync required ancestors`; simulate a crash after each step and honor the
-  configured durability gate.
-- Multi-disk fan-out counts every result. Quorum-minus-one cannot become success;
-  heal remains best-effort per target where that is the established contract.
-- At every new cancellable await between mutation and cleanup/commit, drop the
-  future and inspect leftover files, counters, permits, and replay state.
-- Multipart operations on the same upload ID are serialized where required;
-  abort/complete/list races cannot delete parts before durable commit.
-- Post-commit cleanup is best-effort, retry-safe, and cannot fail an already
-  committed write or delete the last surviving copy.
-- Persisted read-modify-write uses serialization/CAS. Queue replay is crash-safe
-  and duplicate delivery has an idempotency contract.
-- Streaming reconstruction failures after partial output surface as errors, not

-- Check for per-disk syscall amplification (`disks × parts/files`): pin a

-  or same-directory renames instead of re-walking ancestor components per file
-  or re-opening the same parent directory twice.

-- Avoid redundant disk re-reads or existence checks under the same exclusive

-- Detect per-item serial I/O/RPC in batch APIs and accidental quadratic scans;
-  use a gate or bounded concurrency when the concrete fan-out warrants it.
-- Count buffer growth and byte copies in EC/bitrot paths; preserve pool gauge
-  balance and avoid repeated metadata decode/fetch per object.
-- Repetitive success logs stay at `trace`; metrics/instrumentation on hot paths
-  require an existing gate.

+- `"$RUSTFS_BINARY" --version` reports the preview tag name and the short SHA of `PREVIEW_HASH`. Reporting `<target>` without the `-preview.N` suffix means the build did not embed the tag — treat as FAIL and investigate before proceeding.
+- Wait with a bounded readiness deadline while checking the recorded server process remains alive; `curl --noproxy '*' -fsS "$S3_ENDPOINT/health/ready"` must return ready from this process's listener.
 - Startup log shows the embedded console being served (this was the regression that `fix(release): require embedded console assets` guards).
-- Open `http://localhost:9001` in the browser: login with `rustfsadmin`/`rustfsadmin`; dashboard renders without JS console errors; create a bucket, upload a file, download it back (byte-identical), delete the object and bucket. Keep the server running for Phase 5.

 ## Phase 5 — Validate with the latest rc client
 
 `rc` is the RustFS CLI client from <https://github.com/rustfs/cli>.
 
-- Ensure the latest release is installed: compare `rc --version` against `gh api repos/rustfs/cli/releases/latest --jq .tag_name`; update via `brew upgrade rustfs/tap/rc` (or download the release binary).
-- Point it at the preview server and run the command matrix, recording PASS/FAIL per command:

+- Inspect the client's current help for an isolated configuration option and use it when supported. Otherwise choose a unique `PREVIEW_ALIAS` and confirm it is absent before creating it; never overwrite an existing alias. Use task-owned bucket/user names and input/output files. The names below are safe only inside the newly started isolated server.
+- Point the client at `S3_ENDPOINT` with loopback proxy exclusions and run the command matrix, recording PASS/FAIL per command:

-description: Perform a dedicated RustFS security/advisory review for authn/authz, IAM, RPC trust, paths, secrets, browser isolation, encryption, Object Lock, or other security boundaries.

-# RustFS Security Advisory Lessons
-
-Use this skill as the deep security lens. For a normal adversarial review with a
-matched security surface, the concise security reference under
-`adversarial-validation` is sufficient.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Freeze the exact diff/head and identify the changed trust boundaries.
-2. Inspect the headings in [advisory-patterns.md](references/advisory-patterns.md),
-   then read the matching sections. Read the full map only for a broad security
-   audit. Useful headings are
-   auth/admin, IAM/STS/OIDC, policy/plugins, S3/copy/multipart, protocols, paths,
-   secrets/logging/RPC, browser/CORS/proxy, SSE, Object Lock, and serde.
-3. Trace unauthenticated, low-privilege, wrong-action/owner/bucket, malformed,
-   and default-config cases. Security decisions must fail closed.
-4. Require a focused negative regression test for the bypass/exploit form, not
-   only the intended success path. State residual risk when a test is impractical.
-5. Report proven vulnerabilities separately from defense-in-depth hardening.
-
-When advisory currentness matters, fetch the live inventory instead of treating
-the reference as a status mirror:
-
-```bash
-gh api repos/rustfs/rustfs/security-advisories --paginate \
-  --jq '.[] | {ghsa_id,state,severity,summary,updated_at}'
-```
-
-Fetch an individual advisory only when the live summary indicates a new or
-changed lesson.
-
-## Finding Standard
-
-Every candidate names the lower-trust principal, the boundary it crosses, the
-affected resource, and the observable result. A best-practice gap or an impact
-confined to the caller's own principal is hardening, not a candidate.
-
-Report each candidate under exactly one verdict:
-
-- `confirmed`: a complete `file:line` source trace and a bounded observed
-  result. Only confirmed findings carry severity; each also states attacker
-  prerequisites, concrete input/path, impact, smallest safe fix, and a
-  regression check.
-- `needs_validation`: the trace is blocked on one exact unresolved fact, such
-  as deployment or infrastructure behavior. State that fact; assign no severity
-  and do not substitute an assumption.
-- `rejected`: a disproved candidate, with the caller, invariant, or test that
-  disproves it.
-
-Do not exaggerate unauthenticated impact when the actual issue requires
-authenticated low privilege.

-
-## Pattern Index
-
-### Admin authorization and route exposure
-
-- `GHSA-pfcq-4gjr-6gjm`: notification target endpoints accepted authenticated users but skipped admin authorization. Lesson: distinguish authn from authz; admin target CRUD must call the operation-specific admin authorization path.
-- `GHSA-mm2q-qcmx-gw4w`: `ListServiceAccount` used `UpdateServiceAccountAdminAction`, while update lacked target ownership checks. Lesson: exact action constants and ownership checks are both required; information disclosure can chain into secret rotation and takeover.
-- `GHSA-vcwh-pff9-64cc`: `ImportIam` checked `ExportIAMAction` for an import/write operation. Lesson: every admin handler must authorize the action it actually performs.
-- `GHSA-jqmc-mg33-v45g` and `GHSA-8784-9m7f-c6p6`: `/profile/cpu` and `/profile/memory` were whitelisted from auth and allowed expensive diagnostics plus path disclosure. Lesson: profiling/debug endpoints need admin auth, opt-in, rate limits, and non-sensitive responses.
-- `GHSA-f5cv-v44x-2xgf`: `/rustfs/admin/v3/metrics` accepted any authenticated IAM user and skipped admin authorization. Lesson: read-only metrics and diagnostic admin endpoints still require an operation-specific admin action check.
-- `GHSA-796f-j7xp-hwf4`: `/rustfs/admin/v3/list-remote-targets` checked only that credentials existed and leaked replication target credentials. Lesson: replication target reads are privileged admin operations, and stored remote credentials require strict authz plus response redaction review.
-- `GHSA-xp32-gxq2-3v52`: console license metadata endpoint was public and exposed subject and expiration fields. Lesson: management metadata endpoints should require admin auth or return only coarse public status.
-
-### IAM import, service accounts, and privilege boundaries
-
-- `GHSA-566f-q62r-wcr8`: `ImportIam` accepted attacker-controlled service account `parent`, `claims`, `accessKey`, and `secretKey`, enabling persistent backdoor accounts under root. Lesson: imported IAM payloads are untrusted data and must be validated against privilege boundaries.
-- `GHSA-3495-h8r9-gfqg`: `ExportIAM` wrote regular-user and service-account secret keys into exported ZIP data. Lesson: IAM export is a credential-disclosure boundary; redact, seal, or strictly justify every exported secret before treating export permission as safe.
-- `GHSA-5354-r3w2-34m8`: `AddServiceAccount` checked `CreateServiceAccountAdminAction` but trusted caller-supplied `target_user`, allowing service accounts under the root parent. Lesson: service-account create paths must validate parent ownership or root/admin authority, not only the create action.
-- `GHSA-xgr5-qc6w-vcg9`: `deny_only=true` skipped allow checks and let restricted service accounts mint unrestricted children. Lesson: deny-only logic must never become implicit allow for privilege creation.
-- `GHSA-mm2q-qcmx-gw4w`: leaked service account access keys plus update-without-ownership formed an escalation chain. Lesson: service-account identifiers are security-sensitive because update APIs consume them.
-
-### STS, OIDC, and federation flows
-
-- `GHSA-5qfg-mf7r-jp3w` and `GHSA-3473-5353-xhwh`: `AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity` was reachable through unauthenticated `POST /` routing and could issue temporary credentials from crafted web identity input. Lesson: every STS route needs explicit SigV4 or trusted identity-provider validation before role assumption, and unauthenticated exemptions must be narrowed to the exact action with uniform failure responses.
-- `GHSA-jxrr-r6pv-h958`: unsigned JWT issuer data was decoded before verification to select an OIDC provider, and distinguishable failures could expose provider configuration. Lesson: web-identity routing may be unauthenticated, but pre-verification claims are untrusted routing hints; bound and rate-limit the request, normalize public errors, and verify signature, issuer, audience, and expiration before issuing credentials.
-- `GHSA-ccrv-v8v9-ch9q`, `GHSA-48rf-7j3q-3hfv`, and `GHSA-xvfh-7c9g-hpw2`: service-account-controlled material could self-sign JWT session tokens with forged policy claims, and missing `exp` was accepted for service-account tokens. Lesson: session tokens must be signed by a trusted issuer/key path, enforce required claims and expiration, and reject self-signed or principal-controlled tokens.
-- `GHSA-9pjf-w3c2-m32r`, `GHSA-4x2q-cpx9-9h26`, and `GHSA-xvpm-p3f7-34c3`: public OIDC authorize/callback flows trusted request `Host` or forwarded scheme when building credential-bearing redirects. Lesson: OIDC redirects must use configured allowlisted origins and trusted-proxy handling; never derive the post-login credential destination from direct client headers.
-- `GHSA-m479-9x88-94w6`, `GHSA-frwq-mfqx-83p8`, `GHSA-q9q8-rf9r-fg9f`, and `GHSA-j5c2-hhf7-6gf5`: OIDC validation accepted attacker-controlled discovery URLs because hostname checks rejected only literal forbidden IPs, allowing DNS rebinding SSRF. Lesson: outbound federation URL validation must resolve and classify hostnames at the connection boundary and reject loopback, private, link-local, and rebound addresses.
-
-### IAM policy conditions and external policy plugins
-
-- `GHSA-6r96-hmgc-726c`: request headers collided with lowercase server-derived condition keys such as `userid`, `groups`, `versionid`, and JWT/LDAP claims. Lesson: never let caller-controlled headers append to or replace server-derived policy context; reserve trusted condition keys and keep intentional request-header keys separate.
-- `GHSA-v9cp-qfw9-9pfp`: quantified negated string conditions applied negation after aggregation, transposing `ForAllValues` and `ForAnyValue` semantics. Lesson: push negation into the per-value predicate for quantified operators and test partially overlapping multi-value sets.
-- `GHSA-5w8r-p896-6vq2`: OPA policy mode skipped `ExistingObjectTag/*` loading, so tagged objects looked untagged to external policies. Lesson: external authorization plugins need the same object-tag and request context as built-in policy evaluation before they decide.
-- `GHSA-9wgh-5r68-49p7`: substituted policy-variable values could recreate `${...}` and loop inside a single resolution pass, never reaching the outer iteration limit. Lesson: bound substitutions within each pass and test cycles formed across otherwise literal resolver values; confirm whether attacker-controlled claims can reach those values before assigning remote impact.
-
-### S3 object actions, copy, multipart, and upload policy validation
-
-- `GHSA-g8w9-qw9q-fghr` and `GHSA-xm99-m3gq-83g8`: a valid presigned `PutObject` accepted extra `x-amz-*` headers omitted from `SignedHeaders`; `x-amz-copy-source` could turn that upload capability into a cross-bucket read performed as the signer. Lesson: a presigned URL is a bounded capability; inspect all received security-sensitive headers and reject unsigned ones before selecting the S3 operation or reaching storage.
-- `GHSA-3ppv-fx5m-m749`: explicit `versionId` reads and copy sources authorized `s3:GetObject` instead of `s3:GetObjectVersion`. Lesson: version-specific object access must select version-specific actions for direct reads, `CopyObject`, and `UploadPartCopy`, with tests proving the backend is not reached on denial.
-- `GHSA-cg33-pxfp-qcj3` and `GHSA-65wq-gjw8-xr9w`: `HeadObject` and object-tagging paths authorized current-object actions while operating on an explicit historical `versionId`. Lesson: select the corresponding version action for metadata and tag reads and writes too; audit every operation that accepts a version ID.
-- `GHSA-gjph-xcgw-4p7w`: `PutObject` and browser POST accepted a caller-supplied `versionId` and replaced an unlocked historical version with only `s3:PutObject`. Lesson: only replication-authorized writes may choose an existing version ID; ordinary uploads must not rewrite version history.
-- `GHSA-x298-9x87-fvjq`: anonymous `ListObjectVersions` fell back to `ListBucket` and returned before public-access-block gates. Lesson: compatibility fallbacks must converge on the same post-authorization checks as direct grants, especially `RestrictPublicBuckets` and anonymous data-plane denies.
-- `GHSA-mx42-j6wv-px98`: `UploadPartCopy` missed source authorization and allowed cross-bucket object exfiltration. Lesson: multipart copy must enforce the same source and destination contract as `CopyObject`.
-- `GHSA-wfxj-ph3v-7mjf`: `UploadPartCopy` checked source and destination independently but missed destination copy-source policy constraints. Lesson: source read and destination write checks are not sufficient when policy constrains allowed copy sources.
-- `GHSA-w5fh-f8xh-5x3p`: presigned POST accepted uploads without enforcing signed policy conditions. Lesson: parse and enforce all POST policy constraints server-side, including size, key prefix, and content type.
-
-### Protocol frontends and IAM parity
-
-- `GHSA-3g29-xff2-92vp`: FTP `RETR` and `SIZE`/`MDTM` read paths authenticated the user but skipped IAM before calling storage. Lesson: non-HTTP protocol frontends must enforce the same per-operation authorization as the S3 API before backend access.
-- `GHSA-g3vq-vv42-f647`: FTPS `MKD` called `create_bucket` without checking `s3:CreateBucket`. Lesson: protocol command handlers need action-specific checks even when sibling handlers already authorize correctly.
-- `GHSA-3p3x-734c-h5vx`: FTPS and WebDAV compared secret keys with early-return string equality, while FTPS also returned distinguishable invalid-user and invalid-password failures. Lesson: password-style protocol auth needs constant-time secret comparison, indistinguishable failures where practical, and rate limiting.
-- `GHSA-rhg6-jrf2-29c4`: WebDAV, FTP/FTPS, and SFTP used identity-policy checks with empty conditions and bypassed S3 bucket-policy explicit denies and condition-key denies. Lesson: alternate listeners must evaluate the same effective policy and trustworthy request context before storage access.
-
-### Filesystem paths and object key traversal
-
-- `GHSA-pq29-69jg-9mxc`: RPC `read_file_stream` joined untrusted paths under a volume directory without canonical boundary checks. Lesson: `PathBuf::join` plus length checks are not path security.
-- `GHSA-8r6f-hmq2-28rg`: object keys containing traversal sequences bypassed bucket/object authorization when mapped to filesystem paths. Lesson: reject traversal at object-key parsing and verify final storage paths remain under the expected bucket/key root.
-- `GHSA-f4vq-9ffr-m8m3`: Snowball auto-extract accepted archive entries such as `../victim-bucket/object`, authorized the raw attacker-bucket path, then storage path cleaning crossed bucket boundaries. Lesson: archive entries become object keys and need traversal rejection plus consistent authz/storage normalization before writes.
-- `GHSA-g7fq-6xjm-mxf4`: versioned `DeleteObjects` accepted dot-segment keys, authorized the literal prefix, then wrote delete markers under a resolved sibling prefix. Lesson: validate each batch key before authorization and storage normalization, using the same object-name rules as single delete.
-
-### Secrets, defaults, and cryptographic misuse
-
-- `GHSA-j59h-h7q5-q348`, `GHSA-3wm5-wpm5-hmfm`, `GHSA-6wc8-xm48-qhmx`, `GHSA-9gf3-jx4p-4xxf`, `GHSA-63xc-c3w3-m2cf`, and `GHSA-ch63-6q4v-hwp5`: RustFS shipped known default root credentials that could authenticate to S3, admin APIs, IAM, KMS, console, and token-signing surfaces. Lesson: root credentials must be operator-provided or generated per install; known defaults and warnings are not acceptable for network-reachable deployments.
-- `GHSA-h956-rh7x-ppgj`: gRPC used the hard-coded token `rustfs rpc` on both client and server. Lesson: source-visible shared tokens are authentication bypasses.
-- `GHSA-r5qv-rc46-hv8q`: internode RPC HMAC secret fell back to the public default `rustfsadmin`. Lesson: RPC/internode auth must fail closed instead of silently using public defaults.
-- `GHSA-75fx-qg6f-8rm7` and `GHSA-68cw-96m3-h2cf`: internode RPC secrets were derivable from known root credentials, making raw storage RPC signatures forgeable when explicit RPC secrets were unset. Lesson: RPC auth keys must be independent random secrets, never derived from S3 root credentials, and raw storage RPC should not share the public S3 listener without an internode-only boundary.
-- `GHSA-m77q-r63m-pj89`: STS JWTs used the root secret key as the shared token signing key, allowing token forgery when the root secret was known. Lesson: STS signing keys need key separation, rotation, and key IDs; do not reuse root credentials for JWT/HMAC signing.
-- `GHSA-923g-jp7v-f97f`: license verification embedded a production RSA private key and used private-key decryption as authenticity. Lesson: ship verifying/public keys only and use real signature verification.
-
-### Sensitive logging and debug output
-
-- `GHSA-r54g-49rx-98cr`: STS credentials were logged at info level. Lesson: generated credentials must never be logged in plaintext.
-- `GHSA-8cm2-h255-v749`: debug logs leaked session tokens, secret keys, JWT claims, and raw STS response bodies. Lesson: redaction must cover custom `Debug` implementations and dependency response-body logging.
-- `GHSA-333v-68xh-8mmq`: invalid RPC signature logging included the shared HMAC secret and expected signature. Lesson: error paths often leak secrets; never log raw secrets or derived authenticators.
-
-### RPC input validation and panic safety
-
-- `GHSA-gw2x-q739-qhcr`: malformed gRPC `GetMetrics` payloads reached `unwrap()` on deserialization and caused remote DoS. Lesson: every network/RPC deserialization failure returns an error, not a panic.
-- `GHSA-h956-rh7x-ppgj` and `GHSA-r5qv-rc46-hv8q`: weak RPC auth increased reachability of otherwise internal handlers. Lesson: panic bugs become more severe when internode auth is weak or defaulted.
-- `GHSA-c667-rgrv-99vj`: NodeService authentication signed the service prefix instead of the concrete generated method path, so valid metadata for one RPC could be replayed to another method during the timestamp window. Lesson: RPC HMAC payloads must bind exact gRPC method path, HTTP method surrogate, timestamp, and secret.
-
-### Browser, CORS, and console isolation
-
-- `GHSA-v9fg-3cr2-277j`: object preview rendered attacker-controlled HTML in a same-origin iframe, exposing console credentials stored in `localStorage`. Lesson: user content must be origin-isolated from the console and protected with `nosniff`, CSP, and strict content-type handling.
-- `GHSA-7gcx-wg4x-q9x6`: an incomplete preview fix reintroduced extension-based PDF detection and bypassed the sandboxed fallback for attacker-controlled content. Lesson: browser-surface fixes need regression tests for alternate viewers and file-type branches, and preview trust must come from validated content type plus sandboxing rather than object names.
-- `GHSA-x5xv-223c-8vm7`: default CORS reflected arbitrary origins with credentials. Lesson: never combine reflected origins with `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`; default should be fail-closed.
-
-### Trusted proxy and source IP conditions
-
-- `GHSA-fc6g-2gcp-2qrq`: `aws:SourceIp` trusted client-supplied `X-Forwarded-For` or `X-Real-IP`. Lesson: forwarded IP headers are valid only behind configured trusted proxies; direct clients use socket peer IP.
-
-### SSE and on-disk storage invariants
-
-- `GHSA-xrrf-67jm-3c2r`: SSE metadata reported encryption while reader composition bypassed `EncryptReader` and stored plaintext. Lesson: test actual bytes on disk and wrapper order, not only API metadata.
-- `GHSA-wqmc-vjgv-jrpw`: SSE-C persisted and listed the plaintext MD5 as the ETag, allowing list-only users to confirm or brute-force low-entropy content and correlate equal plaintext across keys. Lesson: encrypted-object ETags must not expose deterministic plaintext fingerprints; protect them with per-object key material and keep listing, conditional, copy, and multipart semantics consistent.
-
-### Object Lock and retention invariants
-
-- `GHSA-j548-9grx-fh4f`: Object Lock enforcement treated unreadable, fabricated, or unparsable bucket metadata as absent configuration and allowed retained objects to be deleted or expired. Lesson: retention must fail closed unless Object Lock absence is authoritative, and every delete, lifecycle, scanner, force-delete, and default-retention path needs the same state distinction.
-- `GHSA-28w4-rp2p-636w` and `GHSA-c7hx-vr97-45rg`: an authorized `DeleteBucket` with `x-rustfs-force-delete: true` removed active COMPLIANCE-retained versions even though ordinary version deletion was denied. Lesson: bucket force-delete must enforce retention across every version, including against root/owner callers.
-- `GHSA-q23w-fp7p-472v`: `PutObjectRetention` policy conditions read `x-amz-object-lock-*` headers while the handler applied mode and date from the XML body. Lesson: authorize the parsed retention that will be stored, or reject mismatched header/body values; compare retention dates as instants so offsets cannot change the applied bound.
-
-### Serde deserialization and input validation
-
-- Reject unknown fields in untrusted S3 API XML/JSON, lifecycle, policy, and replication input where compatibility permits. Check the current type and supported payload fixtures; do not infer the repository's current coverage from an older audit. Where extra fields are part of the compatibility contract, validate security-critical values explicitly.
-- `#[serde(default)]` on security-critical fields silently accepts missing values as zero/empty. Lesson: when a field has security implications (retention days, permissions, limits), validate the deserialized value explicitly rather than relying on defaults.
-- Integer fields deserialized from user input and cast with `as` (e.g., `i32 as u32`) can wrap negative values to large positives. Lesson: validate ranges before casting; use `try_into()` with a typed error, or clamp only when the domain explicitly requires saturation.
-- XML config typos (e.g., `"NoncurentDays"` instead of `"NoncurrentDays"`) are silently accepted when `deny_unknown_fields` is absent. Lesson: strict deserialization prevents silent misconfiguration that could cause data loss or unexpected retention behavior.

-## Minimum Regression Test Expectations
-
-- Authz fixes: include unauthenticated, valid low-privilege, wrong-action, correct-action, owner, non-owner, and root/admin cases as applicable.
-- Protocol frontend authz fixes: include denied `RETR`, `SIZE`/`MDTM`, `MKD`, bucket probe, and sibling allowed-operation cases; test bucket-policy explicit denies and condition-key denies on each enabled listener against an S3 control, and assert denied paths do not reach storage.
-- IAM fixes: include import/update/list service-account cases with attacker-controlled parent, claims, access key, secret key, and policy.
-- Copy/upload fixes: include cross-bucket, cross-user, source-denied, destination-denied, copy-source-condition, and multipart completion cases.
-- Presigned upload fixes: include a valid presign with extra unsigned tagging, redirect, storage-class, and cross-bucket copy-source headers; require rejection before source or destination storage access, and verify explicitly signed equivalents still work.
-- Version-action fixes: include historical UUID, explicit current version, `null`, range, partNumber, presigned, STS/session, service-account, anonymous bucket-policy, copy source, multipart-copy source, `HeadObject`, and tag read/write cases.
-- Version-write fixes: a `PutObject`-only principal must not replace an existing version through `PutObject` or browser POST `?versionId=`; verify replication-authorized writes and versioned, suspended, and unversioned buckets separately.
-- Policy-condition fixes: include reserved-key header collisions, missing keys, partially overlapping multi-value sets, cyclic variable substitutions, plugin mode, and built-in policy mode.
-- Path fixes: include encoded traversal, absolute path, nested traversal, archive entries with `..`, valid object keys that resemble traversal text but should be rejected, and canonical bucket/prefix boundary checks; test per-key `DeleteObjects` errors and prefix-scoped denials on versioned buckets.
-- Logging fixes: assert redacted output for structs and response bodies that may contain credentials.
-- IAM export fixes: assert exported archives omit plaintext user and service-account secrets unless the format deliberately encrypts or seals them.
-- RPC auth fixes: include captured metadata replay across two concrete methods, stale timestamps, wrong path, wrong method surrogate, wrong secret, and valid same-method calls.
-- Browser/CORS fixes: assert no credentials on reflected/default origins, correct behavior for explicit allowlists, and no same-origin script execution for previewed object content.
-- SSE fixes: inspect stored bytes and verify API metadata, read-back behavior, and on-disk ciphertext together; for ETags, upload equal plaintext under different keys and assert list-only callers cannot derive or correlate the plaintext digest, including multipart objects.
-- Object Lock fixes: include unreadable metadata, fabricated metadata defaults, unparsable config, confirmed absent config, COMPLIANCE/GOVERNANCE retention, lifecycle expiry, scanner sweeps, and force-delete paths; an authorized force-delete must preserve active COMPLIANCE versions. For `PutObjectRetention`, test conflicting header/body values and offset dates against policy bounds and read-back retention.

@@ -27,11 +27,15 @@ A job runs on `ubuntu-latest` unless it has one of these reasons, and the reason
 
 1. **Disk.** It restores or produces the workspace `target/`: `cargo build` or `cargo test` with `--all-targets`, `cargo nextest run --all`, or any reader of the `ci-dev` / `ci-feat-*` caches. The workspace test build leaves about 64 GB in `target/`; a hosted runner has about 14 GB.
 2. **Critical-path CPU.** It is a build that several downstream lanes wait on and would blow its timeout at 4 vCPU (`build-rustfs-debug-binary` gates the e2e and s3-tests lanes).
-3. **Hardware.** Native aarch64, Docker-in-Docker, or the lab machines.
+3. **Hardware or environment.** Native aarch64 or access to the lab machines. Docker alone is not a reason: hosted Ubuntu ships Docker and supports the QEMU and Buildx setup actions.
 4. **Cache ownership.** It reads a `rust-cache` key that a self-hosted job writes (see the cache rule below).
 
 Jobs that do only the following have no reason to be self-hosted: shell or Python scripts, `cargo fmt`, `cargo deny`, typos, actionlint, API calls (`gh`, dependency review, issue and stale bots, CLA checks), downloading an artifact and running a prebuilt binary, or a `cargo build -p rustfs` with its own cache key. `e2e-distributed.yml` and `e2e-upgrade.yml` build the server and the `e2e_test` harness on `ubuntu-latest` inside their budgets, so "it compiles something" alone is not a reason.
 
+The functional chain's `prepare` and `complete-chain` jobs, the performance runner availability check, and runner hygiene use `ubuntu-latest`: they inspect APIs or artifacts, not the lab hosts. The actual functional and performance suites remain on their lab runners. Functional-chain health collection stays on the operator-managed `smoke-testing` runner as part of the automation environment. Docker image packaging also uses `ubuntu-latest` for both musl and glibc variants; it downloads release binaries rather than compiling the workspace, and still sets up QEMU and Buildx explicitly.
+
+Moving these jobs off AKS reduces capacity demand, not necessarily the Azure bill immediately. VM costs fall only when nodes scale down or smaller capacity replaces them.
+
 A hosted runner is also the only choice for a few things the pods cannot do: `mount -o loop` and `mount -t tmpfs` fail inside the ARC pods, and a container runtime cannot guarantee that `io_uring_setup` is allowed. `uring-integration` and `e2e-distributed` are on `ubuntu-latest` for that reason, not for cost.

+Nested instructions add to ancestor rules; they do not discard non-conflicting rules. A skill cannot expand the user's requested scope or grant authorization.
+
+## Delivery Contract
+
+- Establish the requested outcome, affected boundaries, and observable acceptance criteria before editing. For substantial work, keep a short plan with verification points; a small local edit does not need a formal plan or new document.
+- Preserve correctness, security, durability, compatibility, and user-owned work. Within those boundaries, choose the reasoning process, algorithm, and tools; only real dependencies and explicit approval/acceptance gates constrain execution order.
+- Choose the simplest design that satisfies the actual contract. Explore alternatives or restructure in-scope code when evidence justifies it; minimum diff size is not a reason to keep a defective design. Avoid speculative features and unrelated cleanup.
+- Complete the authorized work, verify the final result, and report material limits honestly. Distinguish implemented, locally verified, CI-passed, published, and merged states; never substitute one for another.
 
 ## Operating Model
 
-- Inquiry, diagnosis, review, and planning tasks are read-only unless the user
-  explicitly requests changes.
-- Ordinary diff/commit reviews use the finding standard below directly; no
-  generic review skill is required. PR and high-risk reviews retain their workflows.
-- For implementation, read the relevant code, tests, and local guidance, then
-  make the smallest change that satisfies the request.
-- State assumptions only when they affect behavior or verification. Ask only
-  when a wrong assumption would materially change the result.
-- Do not load every skill or inspect unrelated modules preemptively. Select a
-  skill only when its description directly matches the request or changed
-  surface.
-- Resolve repository workflow skills under `.agents/skills/` when a global
-  skill has the same name, unless the user explicitly selects another path.
-- Avoid repeated reads and equivalent verification commands once enough
-  evidence exists.
-- Search for relevant symbols/headings before reading long files; return only
-  matching ranges. If output is truncated, narrow the query instead of repeating
-  a full read. Keep reusable raw logs in task artifacts and report the evidence.
-- Reuse authorization already given in the conversation. Resolve routine choices
-  within that scope and continue independent work while a material question is
-  pending. Before requesting missing approval, prepare the concrete result that
-  is already authorized; retain explicit merge and release gates.
-
-- Keep individual tool outputs concise. Save large outputs to task-owned logs
-  and retrieve only the relevant ranges.
+- Inquiry, diagnosis, review, and planning tasks are read-only unless the user explicitly requests changes.
+- Ordinary diff/commit reviews use the finding standard below directly; no generic review skill is required. PR and high-risk reviews retain their workflows.
+- For implementation, read the relevant code, callers, tests, and local guidance. Verify assumptions against the current checkout; comments, prior notes, and external examples can be stale.
+- State assumptions only when they affect behavior or verification. Ask only when a wrong assumption would materially change the result.
+- Do not load every skill or inspect unrelated modules preemptively. Select a skill only when its description directly matches the request or changed surface.
+- Use only repository-maintained skills under `.agents/skills/` in this checkout. Do not load, invoke, install, or fall back to skills from user directories, global installations, plugins, downloads, or other repositories, including through a local skill's references.
+- If no repository skill matches, use the repository instructions and ordinary tools. If an explicitly required repository skill is missing, report the missing file; do not substitute an external skill or silently claim the workflow completed.
+- Avoid repeated reads and equivalent verification commands once enough evidence exists.

Before requesting missing approval, prepare the concrete result that is already authorized; retain explicit merge and release gates.
+- Keep individual tool outputs concise. Save large outputs to task-owned logs and retrieve only the relevant ranges.
+- Parallelize independent searches and checks when they do not contend for shared state or resources. Delegate bounded independent work when authorized; assign file ownership for edits and integrate the results. Keep dependent mutations sequential.
+- Keep each Markdown prose paragraph and each prose list item on one source line; use editor soft wrapping. Preserve intentional structure, code-block line breaks, indentation, and language tags.
 
 ## Common Commands
 
 ```bash
 cargo build --release --bin rustfs   # production binary
 cargo check -p <crate>               # fast type-check one crate
-cargo test -p <crate>                # test one crate
+cargo nextest run -p <crate> --no-tests fail  # scoped tests; see docs/testing/README.md
+cargo test -p <crate> --doc          # doctests (not run by nextest)
 cargo fmt --all --check              # for Rust changes; see AGENTS.md verification tiers
-make pre-commit                      # fast gate: fmt + arch checks + quick-check (NO clippy/tests)
+make pre-commit                      # fast gate: fmt + guards + quick-check (no Clippy/full tests)
 make pre-pr                          # optional full gate for broad cross-module changes
 make build-docker BUILD_OS=ubuntu22.04
 ```
 
-> **Docker build note**: `buildx build` without `--load` keeps the image in
-> the buildx cache only — `docker run` will use a stale local image. The
-> Makefile already includes `--load`; if you suspect a stale binary, add
-> `--no-cache` to the `buildx build` invocation inside
-> `.config/make/build-docker.mak`.

 ## Task-Specific Guidance
 
 Read only the reference needed for the current task, once per unchanged context:
 
-- Before code changes or artifact-heavy work, read [implementation rules](.agents/references/implementation.md).
-  For a read-only code review, use its change-style and boundary sections as needed.
-- Before commits, pushes, PR creation/updates, or posting to PRs/issues/discussions,
-  read [Git and PR rules](.agents/references/pull-requests.md).
-  Reuse existing authorization; a reference does not authorize posting, merging, or publishing.
+- Before code changes or artifact-heavy work, read [implementation and Rust style rules](.agents/references/implementation.md). For a read-only code review, use its change-style and boundary sections as needed.

+- For tool setup or instruction-loading problems, use [agent setup and validation](docs/testing/agent-instructions.md).
 - Preserve unrelated work. Never commit from a shared checkout or delete another task's artifacts.
 - Source comments, commits, PR titles, and PR bodies are in English.
 
 ## Sources of Truth
 
 - Workspace membership: `Cargo.toml`.
+- Rust toolchain and minimum supported version: `rust-toolchain.toml` and `Cargo.toml`.
+- Code formatting and lint policy: `rustfmt.toml`, workspace/package lint configuration, and the configured CI checks.
 - Local gates: `Makefile` and `.config/make/`.
-- CI gates: `.github/workflows/ci.yml`.
+- CI gates: `.github/workflows/`, `scripts/ci_gate.py`, and the [CI gate matrix](docs/testing/ci-gates.md).
 - PR format: `.github/pull_request_template.md`.
 - Architecture routing: `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `docs/architecture/README.md`.
 - Knowledge-base index and documentation rules: `docs/architecture/README.md`.
 - Agent skills: `.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md`.
+- Test layers, runners, isolation, and flake policy: [testing guide](docs/testing/README.md).
 
-Do not commit one-shot plans, trackers, migration ledgers, benchmark snapshots,
-or agent scratch notes. Durable architecture belongs under `docs/architecture/`,
-operations under `docs/operations/`, and testing references under
-`docs/testing/`. `scripts/check_no_planning_docs.sh` enforces this boundary.

+For prose, comments, agent instructions, and skill metadata that cannot affect runtime/build output:
 
 - Run `git diff --check`.
-- Run the relevant documentation guard or skill validator when applicable.
-- Skip Cargo formatting, compilation, Clippy, tests, `make pre-commit`, and
-  `make pre-pr`.
+- Run `scripts/check_doc_paths.sh` and `scripts/check_no_planning_docs.sh` for repository documentation/instruction changes, plus any affected skill validator. For changed execution rules, exercise representative task scenarios as described in [agent setup and validation](docs/testing/agent-instructions.md#changing-instructions).
+- Skip Cargo formatting, compilation, Clippy, tests, `make pre-commit`, and `make pre-pr`.
 
 ### Non-Behavioral Source Changes
 
 - Run the formatter/validator for the changed language.
 - Add compilation or doctests only when syntax or executable examples changed.
 
+### Tooling, Build, and CI Changes
+
+- Run the changed language's validator and the narrowest test of the actual entry point, including failure behavior. For workflow edits, follow `.github/AGENTS.md`; a documentation-only tier does not cover executable scripts or build settings.
+- When changing a guard, test both a valid case and a case the old guard wrongly accepted or rejected. Wire its regression test into the existing applicable test runner.
+
 ### Localized Behavior Changes
 
 - Run `cargo fmt --all --check` for Rust changes.
 - Run the narrowest test that exercises the changed behavior.
-- For an explicitly requested coverage assessment, use the
-  [coverage guide](docs/testing/README.md#coverage); a regression test alone does
-  not require coverage measurement.
-- Add package-scoped `cargo check` or Clippy only for targets, features, public
-  APIs, error handling, or control flow not compiled by the focused test.
-- Use `make pre-commit` only when its repository-wide fast checks add confidence
-  beyond the focused checks.
+- Confirm the selected tests actually ran; a successful command with zero matching tests is not behavioral evidence.
+- For an explicitly requested coverage assessment, use the [coverage guide](docs/testing/README.md#coverage); a regression test alone does not require coverage measurement.
+- Run package-scoped Clippy for Rust behavior changes with the affected targets and features and `-- -D warnings`; successful compilation or tests do not replace lint checks.
+- Add package-scoped `cargo check` only for affected targets or features not compiled by those tests or lint checks. Select supported feature combinations from the affected package and CI configuration instead of assuming `--all-features` is appropriate.
+- Use `make pre-commit` only when its repository-wide fast checks add confidence beyond the focused checks.
 
 ### Broad Cross-Module Changes
 
-Do not run `make pre-pr` by default before opening a PR. Consider it only when
-the final diff is broad, spans multiple modules, and targeted checks cannot
-bound the impact. Decide dynamically from the affected boundaries and risks;
-otherwise use the scoped formatting, linting, compilation, and test checks
-above.

-Never weaken a gate to get green: do not add baselines/allowances, suppress
-lints, ignore tests, or relax assertions unless changing that policy is itself
-the reviewed task. Follow `docs/testing/README.md` for flaky tests.

+For applicable work and substantial PR reviews, follow the [risk tiers and review shape](.agents/references/adversarial-validation.md) and check changed trust boundaries and relevant correctness, security, concurrency, durability, compatibility, performance, and negative regression coverage.
 
-A review has no finding quota; `No findings` is a complete outcome. A request to
-find problems is not evidence that a defect exists. Before reporting a candidate,
-check callers, invariants, and existing tests for evidence that disproves it.
-Findings need `file:line` and a concrete failure or violation of an explicit
-requirement. Missing required tests/checks are verification gaps, not proof of a
-runtime bug; name the unprotected behavior or unmet gate. Keep optional style or
-refactoring preferences out of defect findings unless that review was requested.

+### Deployment
+
+- Existing volumes created by older root-running container images must be writable by the non-root runtime identity before upgrading. The default container UID/GID is `10001:10001`; stop the affected instances, verify host mount paths, and for ordinary bind mounts run `sudo chown -R 10001:10001 /actual/data /actual/logs` on each RustFS data/log mount. Account for ACLs, NFS, Kubernetes, and rootless UID mappings. Image-build ownership changes do not migrate mounted data. See the Docker Quick Start in [README.md](README.md).
+- Local disk initialization now checks file creation, writing, and deletion in the data root and fixed internal metadata directories. Unwritable disks are rejected using existing startup/quorum rules, with filesystem errors and Unix runtime/owner IDs logged for permission failures, instead of admitting those disks and discovering the mismatch on a later write. Existing object trees are not scanned and volume ownership is never changed automatically.
+
 ### Security
 
 - **Header-signed SigV4 requests honour only signed headers** (GHSA-xm99-m3gq-83g8): a request authenticated with a SigV4 `Authorization` header that carries an `x-amz-*` request header not listed in its `SignedHeaders` is now rejected with `403 AccessDenied` ("There were headers present in the request which were not signed"), matching AWS S3 and the presigned rule from GHSA-g8w9-qw9q-fghr. Previously anyone holding one header-signed `PutObject` request could add an unsigned `x-amz-copy-source` and turn it into a `CopyObject` that ran with the signer's permissions, copying any object the signer could read into the target. An `Authorization` header whose algorithm token is not `AWS4-HMAC-SHA256` is now rejected instead of being verified as SigV4. The request-envelope headers `x-amz-content-sha256`, `x-amz-decoded-content-length`, `x-amz-trailer` and `x-amz-checksum-algorithm` (the same set the upstream `s3s` fix exempts) and `x-amz-cf-id` (CloudFront) remain tolerated unsigned; AWS SDKs and RustFS's own signers already sign every other `x-amz-*` header. SigV2, JWT and anonymous requests are unchanged.

 This guide covers the local development environment and the checks expected before contributing.
 
+### Shared Code Standards
+
+All contributions, whether written by a person or generated with assistance, follow the same [implementation and Rust style rules](.agents/references/implementation.md), root [quality and verification policy](AGENTS.md), and applicable scoped `AGENTS.md` files. Repository formatter/lint settings and domain contracts take precedence over personal preferences. Keep style-rule changes in those shared sources rather than maintaining a second version here.
+
+For assisted work, use only repository-maintained skills under `.agents/skills/`; external skills are not part of this project's workflow. Follow the root instructions and ordinary tools when no repository skill matches.
+
+For client setup and evidence that root/scoped rules are actually loaded, see [agent setup and instruction validation](docs/testing/agent-instructions.md). Keep project policy in shared sources rather than copying it into client-specific files.
+
 ### 🔧 Code Formatting Rules
 
-**MANDATORY**: All code must be properly formatted before committing. This project enforces strict formatting standards to maintain code consistency and readability.
+Use the repository formatter and lint configuration for changed code. Follow `rust-toolchain.toml`; if local and CI results differ, compare compiler, formatter, and Clippy versions as described in the [shared style contract](.agents/references/implementation.md#shared-style-contract).
 
 #### Verification Requirements
 
-Before submitting your changes for review, you **MUST**:
+Before submitting changes for review, complete the applicable [verification tier](AGENTS.md#verification) for the final diff. Documentation-only changes use documentation checks; they do not require Cargo formatting, compilation, Clippy, or tests.
 
-1. **Format your code**:
-
-   ```bash
-   cargo fmt --all
-   ```
-
-2. **Verify formatting**:
-
-   ```bash
-   cargo fmt --all --check
-   ```
-
-3. **Pass clippy checks**:
-
-   ```bash
-   cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
-   ```
-
-4. **Ensure compilation**:
-
-   ```bash
-   cargo check --all-targets
-   ```
+- For Rust changes, format with the repository configuration and verify with `cargo fmt --all --check`. Inspect formatter edits and keep unrelated work out of the change.
+- For Rust behavior changes, run focused behavioral tests and package-scoped Clippy with the affected targets/features and `-- -D warnings`. Compilation alone does not check lint policy, and a test filter matching zero tests does not verify behavior.
+- Add compilation checks only for affected targets/features not already compiled by those checks. Use supported feature combinations; do not default every contribution to `--all-features` or full-workspace checks.
+- Complete applicable CI gates before merge. Local scope selection does not waive CI requirements or permit weakening a gate.

 The RustFS container runs as a non-root user `rustfs` (UID/GID `10001:10001`). If you bind-mount host directories with Docker or Compose, every mounted path must be writable by that user, otherwise startup may fail with permission denied errors. This applies to data directories, log directories, and TLS certificate directories when `RUSTFS_TLS_PATH` is enabled.
 
+**Upgrading an existing data volume:** some older images ran as root. Replacing the image does not change ownership of mounted files. Before upgrading to a non-root image, stop the instances using the volume, confirm the actual host mount paths and runtime UID/GID, and grant that identity access to all existing data and log directories. For ordinary Docker bind mounts using the default identity, run `sudo chown -R 10001:10001 /actual/data /actual/logs` on the host. Repeat for each data mount; do not apply this recursively to unrelated shared directories. Kubernetes, NFS, ACLs, and rootless UID mappings may require a different ownership or access-control adjustment.
+
+RustFS checks creation, writing, and deletion of a small temporary file in each data root and fixed internal metadata directories when opening a local disk. A failed check rejects that disk through the existing startup/quorum rules and logs the filesystem error; permission diagnostics include the runtime UID/GID and path owner on Unix. This is not a recursive scan of existing buckets or objects: permissions must also allow access to their contents. RustFS does not change ownership automatically. After migration, verify upload, download, and deletion rather than relying only on a green health endpoint.

 ## Error Type Design
 
-- Public API functions must return a typed error enum (preferably `thiserror`-derived), never `Result<_, String>`.
-- Do not use `Box<dyn Error>` or `Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>` in public trait methods or struct methods. Define a concrete error type with specific variants.
-- When implementing `std::error::Error`, always override `fn source()` if you store an inner error. Breaking the error chain makes debugging impossible.
+- Fallible public APIs use typed errors that fit the boundary, preferably an existing domain error or standard error type; do not return `Result<_, String>`.
+- Preserve error variants callers need for recovery, aggregation, or quorum decisions. Use type-erased errors only when erasure is intentional in the boundary contract, not as a shortcut around error design.
+- When implementing `std::error::Error`, expose a stored inner error through `source()` so the error chain remains available.
 - Internal helpers that return `Result<_, String>` and are immediately wrapped via `.map_err(Error::other)` should return the actual error type directly.
 
 ## Concurrency
 
 - Document lock acquisition order when a module uses multiple locks. Never acquire the same set of locks in different orders across code paths.
 - Never hold a `tokio::sync::RwLock`/`Mutex` write guard across `.await` points unless the critical section is unavoidably async and the hold time is bounded.
-- Prefer direct atomic `fetch_*` operations for unconditional updates and
-  `compare_exchange` loops only for conditional updates such as peaks or
-  adaptive state.
+- Prefer direct atomic `fetch_*` operations for unconditional updates and `compare_exchange` loops only for conditional updates such as peaks or adaptive state.
 - When resetting multi-field atomic statistics, use a version/sequence counter or accept that concurrent readers may see partial snapshots; document the tradeoff.
 - `std::sync::Mutex` is acceptable in async context only when held for a brief, non-`await`-containing critical section. If in doubt, use `tokio::sync::Mutex`.

-  explicitly requires it.
-- Before converting floating-point input to an integer, validate finiteness,

+- Review narrowing, signedness-changing, and float-to-integer casts against the value range and domain contract; do not require unrelated rewrites of proven lossless conversions.
 
 ## Testing
 
 - Keep unit tests close to the module they test.
 - Keep integration tests under each crate's `tests/` directory.
-- Add regression tests for bug fixes and behavior changes.
-- Every test needs an observable failure criterion. Direct assertions,
-  delegated assertions, snapshots/properties, `#[should_panic]`, and meaningful
-  `Result` failures are all valid; a call that can silently succeed is not.

 - `RUSTFS_API_OBJECT_MAX_VERSIONS` caps the number of retained versions for a single object. It defaults to `9223372036854775807`, matching MinIO's practical-unlimited default. Set a positive integer to enforce a lower per-object metadata bound.
+- `RUSTFS_VEEAM_SOSAPI_ENABLE` serves Veeam SOSAPI `system.xml` and `capacity.xml` for an authenticated GET or HEAD of those exact bucket-root keys. It defaults to `true`. Explicit version reads use the normal object path. Capacity requests return `ServiceUnavailable` until the scanner publishes a complete snapshot certified for the current bucket incarnation and authoritative quota metadata can be read. Legacy or mixed-version snapshots without an incarnation proof cannot serve capacity until a compatible scanner publishes a certified snapshot. Capacity also returns `ServiceUnavailable` when cluster or disk observations are missing, stale, or degraded. Retry after scanner convergence and storage or metadata recovery. Capacity assumes shard paths have independent backing space; shared physical storage can make the estimate optimistic. Set the flag to `false` to restore the normal object path, including deletion of a real object previously stored at that key.
 - `MINIO_API_OBJECT_MAX_VERSIONS` is accepted as a compatibility alias when the canonical RustFS variable is not set.

-//! 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.

 - Keep network and disk operations async-friendly; avoid introducing unnecessary blocking.
 - Coalesce related `open`, `read`/`write`, `fsync`, and `close` filesystem steps into a single per-disk blocking closure rather than chaining multiple async or blocking dispatches, and route any closure that performs file or directory sync to the disk's dedicated fsync lane so stalled syncs cannot starve foreground metadata reads.
 - Pin a parent directory once (`openat2(BENEATH | NO_SYMLINKS)` on Linux) and reuse the pinned handle across sibling reads or same-directory renames instead of re-walking ancestor components per file.
-- When the file size is already known from `fstat` metadata, pre-size the destination buffer (`len + 1`) before reading to EOF so small metadata reads complete in a single `read()` + EOF check rather than exponential-growth reallocations and syscalls.
+- For small metadata reads with a known size, pre-size buffers when it avoids repeated growth. Preserve the format's size limits, checked length conversions, and overflow handling; a filesystem size hint does not establish that an allocation is safe or that the file cannot change.
 - Benchmark-sensitive changes should include measurable rationale.
 
 ## Allocation Discipline in Hot Paths
 
-- Do not implement `Clone` on structs with >5 heap-allocated fields without considering `Arc` for heavy fields.
-- Before cloning a struct in a loop or per-request path, check if a reference or `Cow` would suffice.
-- When a struct contains a large buffer (e.g., erasure coding block), wrap it in `Arc` and pass by reference rather than cloning.
-- Use `&str` and `Cow<str>` instead of `String` for temporary computations (header parsing, signature building, path manipulation).
-- Use `HashMap::with_capacity()` / `Vec::with_capacity()` when the size is known or estimable.
+- Before cloning in a loop or per-request path, consider the data copied and whether borrowing or moving ownership fits. Use `Arc` when shared ownership avoids meaningful copies and its lifetime and synchronization costs fit the operation.
+- Borrow temporary strings when lifetimes permit; choose `String` or `Cow<str>` when ownership or mixed borrowed/owned data requires it.
+- Preallocate collections when the size estimate is useful and bounded; do not reserve directly from unchecked input or speculative worst-case sizes.
 
 ## Lock Ordering
 
 - When a function acquires multiple locks, document the acquisition order in a comment.
 - Never acquire the same set of locks in different orders across code paths — this is a deadlock.
-- Prefer `compare_exchange` loops over load-then-store for concurrent counters.
+- Use atomic `fetch_*` operations for unconditional counter updates and `compare_exchange` loops for conditional updates. A separate load followed by store must not lose concurrent updates.
