Zhengchao An f40abbb9f2 docs(architecture): unify per-object generation authority (#4912)
Add the shared design/contract document for backlog #1326: a single
per-object generation authority (the #1312 fencing epoch) that spans
commit fencing, read lease, prepared pool read, quota reservation, and
old-dir GC. Pins the five cross-cutting constraints once - RPC signature
binding with server-side nonce enforcement, xl.meta encoding contract
(no meta_ver bump, no positional FileInfo field, internal metadata map
under the dual-key contract), proto3 optional presence, mixed-version
fallback direction, and cluster-level capability negotiation - so the
implementation sub-issues follow them rather than each re-deciding.

No product code changes.

# 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.
## Start here
- [overview.md](overview.md) — migration baseline, phase order, core principles
## CI-enforced core (required by `scripts/check_architecture_migration_rules.sh`)
- [crate-boundaries.md](crate-boundaries.md) — dependency direction, PR types, re-export contracts
- [runtime-lifecycle.md](runtime-lifecycle.md) — startup/shutdown sequencing, readiness guarantees
- [readiness-matrix.md](readiness-matrix.md) — request/dependency behavior, probe semantics
- [storage-control-data-plane.md](storage-control-data-plane.md) — storage API contracts, control-plane boundaries
- [global-state-crate-split-plan.md](global-state-crate-split-plan.md) — remaining global-state owners and split evaluation
- [ecstore-module-split-plan.md](ecstore-module-split-plan.md) — ECStore decomposition rules and facade contracts
## Contracts & invariants
- [placement-repair-invariants.md](placement-repair-invariants.md)
- [unified-object-generation.md](unified-object-generation.md) — single per-object generation authority (fencing epoch, transport/encoding/proto/mixed-version contracts)
- [runtime-capability-contracts.md](runtime-capability-contracts.md)
- [workload-admission-contracts.md](workload-admission-contracts.md)
- [background-controller-contract.md](background-controller-contract.md)
- [config-model-boundary-adr.md](config-model-boundary-adr.md)
- [ecstore-layout-boundary.md](ecstore-layout-boundary.md)
- [decommission-compatibility.md](decommission-compatibility.md)
## Support matrices (release-facing, keep current)
- [s3-compatibility-matrix.md](s3-compatibility-matrix.md)
- [s3-tables-support-matrix.md](s3-tables-support-matrix.md)
- [minio-rustfs-router-compatibility.md](minio-rustfs-router-compatibility.md)
- [minio-file-format-compat.md](minio-file-format-compat.md)
## Inventories & baselines (snapshots that feed migration work)
- [global-state-inventory.md](global-state-inventory.md)
- [ecstore-api-facade-inventory.md](ecstore-api-facade-inventory.md)
- [ecstore-config-consumer-inventory.md](ecstore-config-consumer-inventory.md)
- [obs-ecstore-dependency-inventory.md](obs-ecstore-dependency-inventory.md)
- [background-services-inventory.md](background-services-inventory.md)
- [admin-route-action-snapshot.md](admin-route-action-snapshot.md)
- [compat-cleanup-register.md](compat-cleanup-register.md)
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.
