* refactor(ecstore): drop the client shim, import rustfs-s3-client directly

Completes the migration window opened by the rustfs-s3-client extraction (rustfs/backlog#1842 PR3): every consumer now imports the client crate directly and the crate::client shim is deleted.

- All in-crate crate::client:: paths (tier warm backends, tier core, lifecycle tier_sweeper, replication storage boundary, set_disk) now import rustfs_s3_client::* directly; crates/ecstore/src/client/mod.rs and the lib.rs mod client declaration are gone.
- The two server-side modules historically misfiled under client/ move to their real homes: object_api_utils.rs to crates/ecstore/src/object_api/ (it builds engine-side object readers/writers), and object_handlers_common.rs to crates/ecstore/src/bucket/lifecycle/ (it is the lifecycle noncurrent-version cleanup helper). The latter now routes its replication calls through the lifecycle replication_sink boundary (schedule_delete wrapper and the sink's ReplicationObjectBridge re-export), as the lifecycle guard requires.
- The ecstore public facade drops api::client: object_api_utils is exposed as api::object_api_utils, and the rustfs crate takes admin_handler_utils (AdminError) from rustfs-s3-client directly (new dependency).
- Guard updates: the migration guard no longer pins mod client in ecstore's lib.rs or the admin_handler_utils facade module (it pins the new api::object_api_utils facade instead), and the module-lint register follows object_api_utils.rs to its new path.

Verification: cargo check -p rustfs-ecstore --all-targets and -p rustfs; cargo fmt --all; tier/transition/lifecycle-focused nextest (626 passed) and the decommission/rebalance/heal families in a filtered run (603 passed; the full-suite parallel run only fails on this machine's known decommission/rebalance baseline flakes, which pass in filtered reruns and fail identically on pristine origin/main); layer/migration/s3s/logging/error-format/doc-path guard scripts all pass.

* docs(architecture): record the S3 client extraction and reword invariant 4 (#6669)

Closes the documentation step of rustfs/backlog#1842. ARCHITECTURE.md invariant 4 now states the serving-vs-consuming distinction the adversarial ruling asked for: ecstore must not serve HTTP/S3 wire types, while consuming remote S3 endpoints is a legitimate engine capability that lives in the extracted rustfs-s3-client crate. The violation note is updated from the pre-extraction snapshot (58 files, embedded client) to the current ratcheted state (shrink-only S3S_ECSTORE_FILES_BASELINE in scripts/check_s3s_footprint.sh, object_lock converted first), and the crate map gains s3-client. ecstore-module-split-plan.md gets the client-directory entry the plan was missing: a Current Shape row and a completed-extraction section describing the pure-move + shim + direct-import sequence and the re-homing of the two misfiled server-side modules.

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.
