The merged all-pool check from #279 decided on the versions that a read
quorum of each set merged non-strictly. A drive that missed one metadata
update could therefore supply the revision used for the decision, and a
partially unreadable set could drop a committed version from the history.
Both let an expiry delete data the rule did not cover, including a version
under legal hold.
- objectVersions accepts a revision only when max(n/2+1, the version's
metadata read quorum) drives hold it, identifies revisions by the header
plus a sha256 over a canonical, length-prefixed encoding of the
normalized metadata, filters non-accepted revisions before the strict
merge, and fails closed on omitted versions, too many unreadable drives,
or cancellation.
- Lock fields are read with the evaluator's key precedence. Cross-pool
copies that disagree on hold or retention must be strictly ordered by
valid timestamps; copies with different ModTime are separate writes and
an older protected write refuses the object. The set safeguard re-checks
protection and pending purges on its fresh read for checked version
deletes.
- Duplicate copies with semantically different replication or purge state
refuse the object.
- Batch expiry announces and audits only completed or already-absent
removals.
Reviewed adversarially over seven rounds; the final round approved with no
remaining findings in scope. All-versions expiry through deletePrefix and
tiered delete-all dispatch are tracked separately.

Merge lock and tag revisions for duplicate versions before all-pool
lifecycle evaluation using the existing metadata reconciliation rules.
Distinguish ordinary lifecycle refusal from object absence and clear
rejected batch replication state so a late policy withdrawal cannot
schedule a purge. Preserve restored-copy cleanup and real absence.
Cover single and batch protections, legitimate metadata removals, and
actual replication queue and HTTP target behavior.

Recheck only local ordinary-delete candidates that need an all-pool lifecycle decision. Match UUID/null identity to the version actually read and queue its global metadata and event; retain a successful read on recheck failure, absence, or refusal.
Keep GET reader cleanup, authorization, proxy reads, single-pool reads, restored-copy cleanup, and expiry response headers on their existing paths. Cover signed GET/HEAD, queue contents, metadata faults, missing matches, no-scan boundaries, and reader-lock release.
