# RustFS Architecture Evolution
**Use this when:** you need the historical framing of the architecture-migration program or the phase order that the migration contracts assume.
**Source of truth:** [README.md](README.md) is the index of architecture documents; the per-topic contracts it lists are authoritative.
## Baseline
The architecture-migration program (`rustfs/backlog#660`) closed in 2026-07. Its original baseline commit predates the current `main` lineage and is no longer reachable from `main`; treat it as historical. The guardrails the program introduced remain enforced by `scripts/check_architecture_migration_rules.sh`.
## Core Principle
Cut wrong dependency directions with directories and contracts first, migrate global state in small steps next, and split crates only after boundaries are stable. Storage hot-path behavior must not drift during this migration.
## Phase Order
Historical sequencing of the migration phases. All phases are closed; the diagram is kept because later documents refer to phase names.

The document index is [README.md](README.md). The ECStore facade boundary that the storage phases converged on is described in [ecstore-api-facade-inventory.md](ecstore-api-facade-inventory.md).
