Zhengchao An a7f035a8c3 fix(ecstore): fail peer metadata reloads closed instead of caching fabricated defaults (#5396)
The LoadBucketMetadata peer-notification handler loaded bucket metadata
with the fabricating loader (ConfigNotFound -> BucketMetadata::new) and
unconditionally cached the result. On a transient read-quorum dip during
a reload notification, a peer cached an authoritative "no Object Lock"
default for a lock-enabled bucket, disabling the batch-delete retention
gate (object_lock_delete_check_required) on that node until the next
refresh, and wiping its bucket-target/durability sync state.

Production changes:
- New BucketMetadataSys::reload_from_store (metadata_sys::
  reload_bucket_metadata): the peer reload path uses the presence-aware
  loader and installs only metadata actually read from persisted
  storage. A load miss returns an error (surfaced to the notifying peer
  as success=false) and leaves the cache untouched; deletion still
  propagates only through the dedicated DeleteBucketMetadata
  notification.
- The reload runs under the outer metadata-sys write guard, load
  included, mirroring update(): every other cache installer holds that
  lock, so a reload snapshot can never land after - and roll back - a
  newer concurrent install (the stale-load lost-update from the
  review), and the install-plus-registry-sync sequence stays atomic
  against concurrent removes and reloads (previously only the set call
  was write-guarded, with the load outside any lock).
- The peer-visible miss error is a fixed string: the notifying peer
  substring-matches error text against network-failure needles
  (is_network_like_error), so interpolating a bucket name (e.g. a legal
  bucket literally named "unavailable") could mark a healthy peer
  offline.
- get_config's lazy insert routes through set(), picking up the
  negative-cache invalidation.

An earlier draft instead guarded set() with a per-config updated_at
freshness comparison. Adversarial validation rejected it (three roles
independently): update_config stamps with the handling node's wall
clock, so within the skew the cluster already tolerates (+/-300s RPC
auth window) a config rewritten with an earlier stamp - e.g. revoking a
public-read policy through a second node, or any same-field rewrite
after an NTP step-back - would be skipped by every peer forever,
silently pinning the revoked permissive config with no re-convergence
path (the 15-minute refresh also routed through the guard). Race
staleness is second-scale while skew is minute-scale, so no tolerance
bound can separate them; the write-guard serialization closes the same
race without clocks and preserves the refresh loop's unconditional
converge-to-disk property, which is the cluster's self-healing
mechanism.

Startup audit (BucketMetadataSys::init): concurrent_load's
insert-if-vacant still installs a fabricated default when a transient
miss hits at boot - indistinguishable from a legacy bucket without a
metadata file at this layer - bounded by the next successful persisted
load. Making the object-lock gate fail closed on such entries is filed
as a follow-up, alongside the bare "unavailable" needle in
is_network_like_error and the Swift cache-only metadata writes.

Tests:
- bucket::metadata_sys::tests::
  peer_reload_never_caches_fabricated_defaults_as_authoritative:
  miss installs nothing / miss keeps the existing entry intact
  (asserting the dedicated non-persisted error) / persisted reload
  converges the cache over a stale entry.
- node_service::tests::
  test_load_bucket_metadata_failure_skips_scanner_maintenance:
  a failed reload reports failure and does not advance scanner
  maintenance activity (previously recorded even on a miss).
- The handler success path stays uncovered at the RPC layer (needs an
  isolated global object layer, like the pre-existing ignored test);
  the composition is pinned at the sys level instead.

Verification:
- cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --lib --tests clean on
  rustfs-ecstore and rustfs.
- Targeted suites green; full cargo test -p rustfs-ecstore --lib:
  3198/3200 with two parallelism-sensitive lock-test flakes from the
  known baseline (pass in isolation; a different pair flakes per run).
- Adversarial validation (high-risk tier, all seven roles as
  independent parallel reviewers) run per AGENTS.md; all findings
  fixed or rebutted with evidence, three out-of-scope findings filed
  as follow-up tasks.
