Project context
Fictional document archive Fern stores synthetic byte objects. Use a local S3-compatible adapter or deterministic in-memory provider; no cloud credentials are needed.
Setup prerequisites
- Generate small deterministic byte fixtures.
- Implement local multipart provider responses including timeout and missing parts.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
- COBJS-101 · Normalize object names without treating them as filesystem paths
- COBJS-102 · Bind multipart upload sessions to organization and object identity
- COBJS-103 · Reject multipart uploads exceeding declared size limits
- COBJS-104 · Retry the same multipart part without creating contradictory receipts
- COBJS-105 · Validate ordered multipart completion against acknowledged parts
- COBJS-106 · Verify completed object content before marking it available
Acceptance criteria
- Recovery locates the finalized identity
- Metadata transition repeats safely
- Ambiguous provider state stays unresolved
Implementation constraints
- Persist the completion operation before dispatch.
Verification to include
- Crash after finalization
- Return inconclusive provider lookup
Deliverables
- Completion journal and crash schedule
Rollout and recovery
Pause automatic completion recovery and retain session metadata.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice object lifecycle, retry semantics and integrity verification.
For the team: Inspect whether uploads avoid corruption, orphan cost and tenant crossover.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
