Zhengchao An b41bbe2db4 fix(ecstore): split rename_data signature from heal-convergence decision (#4926)
CompleteMultipartUpload enqueued a normal-priority heal whenever
`rename_data` returned a `Some(versions)` signature. But the per-disk
signature is produced for every object with <=10 versions, and a healthy
quorum reduces to `Some` as well, so the `Option<Vec<u8>>` return value
conflated two distinct facts — "a version signature exists" and "the
committed replicas need heal". The result: nearly every healthy MPU
completion self-enqueued a heal, while >10-version objects (signature
`None`) did not — an algorithmic heal amplification on the healthy path
(rustfs/backlog#1321).

Replace the overloaded `Option<Vec<u8>>` second element of
`SetDisks::rename_data` with an explicit `RenameConvergence` classification
computed after the write-quorum gate:

- AllSuccessIdentical — every attempted disk committed with an identical,
  known signature (no heal).
- PartialCommit — write quorum met but a disk failed/offline; a committed
  replica is missing or stale (heal).
- SignatureDivergent — all committed but signatures diverge, or mix signed
  (<=10-version) with unsigned (>10-version) disks (heal).
- Unknown — all committed, no signature produced (>10 versions); latent
  divergence is left to the scanner backstop, not self-enqueued.

`RenameConvergence::needs_heal()` is the single decision point. The version
signature is now only comparison material; it no longer doubles as a heal
flag. The old `select_rename_data_versions` / `reduce_common_versions` /
`rename_data_versions_key` machinery that carried the conflation is removed.

The heal submission in `complete_multipart_upload` moves off the ACK
critical path into a detached task: it runs after the object lock is
dropped and after the durable `rename_data` commit, survives cancellation
of the completion future, and coalesces through the existing bounded /
deduplicated / observable heal-channel admission (one submit per degraded
completion, at most). A completion cancelled in the narrow window between
the durable commit and reaching the enqueue is scanner-backstopped, as is
the Unknown (>10-version) case.

The PUT path (`object.rs`) binds the second element as `_` and is
unchanged. The change is orthogonal to and composes with the #1312 commit
fence on the same `rename_data` path (epoch rejection is a commit-gate
failure surfaced through `Result::Err`, convergence is a post-commit
signal); documented in docs/architecture/unified-object-generation.md.

Tests: `classify_rename_convergence` white-box cases cover the full
acceptance matrix (healthy 4/4 and 8/8, 3-same-1-divergent, failed/offline
disk, no-common-quorum split, >10-version all-success and with-failure,
mixed signed/unsigned) and fail on revert to the old "signature exists =>
heal" semantics. The decision function is tested directly rather than
through the process-global heal channel, whose receiver is owned
exclusively by the blackbox serial test (init_heal_channel is once per
binary).

Architecture Documentation

Durable architecture reference for RustFS: migration guardrails, runtime contracts, boundary rules, and support matrices.

Two rules keep this directory healthy:

  1. Durable reference only. One-shot implementation plans, task trackers, and PR templates do not belong in the repository — keep them in the issue tracker or your local worktree. When their work closes, delete them rather than archiving them here.
  2. No copies of other sources of truth. Crate lists come from Cargo.toml, CI steps from .github/workflows/ci.yml, code structure from the code. scripts/check_doc_paths.sh fails the pre-commit gate when a doc here references a file path that no longer exists.

Inventories & baselines (snapshots that feed migration work)

Historical plans and trackers (rebalance/decommission phases, migration-progress ledger, and the one-shot migration snapshots that fed it — startup timeline, scheduler baseline, profiling/NUMA capability inventory, KMS development defaults inventory) were retired in 2026-07 once the architecture-review ledger they served closed out (backlog#660/#665). Planning documents are no longer kept in the repository.
