Carl MercierandClaude Fable 5 f7e13d71ce fix(posix): make conditional PUT evaluation and publication atomic per key
S3 conditional writes (If-Match / If-None-Match: *) were evaluated with a
check-then-act pattern: PutObjectWithPostFunc and
CompleteMultipartUploadWithCopy read the current etag, evaluated the
precondition, and only later published the replacement via link/rename.
Under concurrent conditional PUTs to the same key, many writers could read
the same old state, all pass the check, and all succeed, breaking
compare-and-swap coordination built on conditional writes (observed by
Buzz's git object-store A3 conformance probe: 32-way races returned up to
32 winners instead of exactly 1x2xx + 31x412).

Introduce a per-object publish lock (lockObjectPublish) that every object
publication path holds across condition re-evaluation, metadata stores,
and the final link:

- Exclusion is an advisory file lock (flock on unix, LockFileEx on
  windows) on bucket/.sgwtmp/objlock/<shard>, where shard is the first
  byte of sha256(key). The gateway is stateless and multiple gateway
  processes may share one filesystem, so a process-local mutex alone is
  not sufficient; file locks provide cross-process and (via NFSv4 lock
  semantics) cross-client exclusion. A process-local striped mutex is
  taken alongside so in-process contention never thrashes the filesystem
  lock. Lock files are empty, bounded (max 256 per bucket), and never
  unlinked to avoid the unlink/recreate flock race that cannot be
  detected reliably on NFS.
- Request bodies are staged to the temp file before the lock is taken;
  the lock covers only the short commit phase. The kernel releases the
  lock on close or process death, so failures and crashes cannot leave a
  stale lock. If the filesystem does not support advisory locking (e.g.
  NFS mounted with -o nolock), the gateway falls back to process-local
  exclusion and warns once.
- The pre-staging precondition check is kept as an advisory fast-fail;
  the authoritative check runs under the lock. Unconditional PUTs,
  directory-object PUTs, CopyObject (via PutObject), scoutfs (via
  PutObjectWithPostFunc/CompleteMultipartUploadWithCopy), and multipart
  completion all participate.
- For conditional writes on versioned buckets the version snapshot is
  deferred until the precondition is confirmed under the lock, so losing
  writers no longer create spurious version snapshots.
- The postprocess hook now runs before any path-based metadata is
  written, so a failing hook no longer leaves stale sidecar attributes
  (previously the new etag was visible in sidecar mode even when
  publication failed).

Add regression tests covering 32-way If-Match and If-None-Match: * races
for both ordinary PUT and multipart completion, mixed
conditional/unconditional races, sequential semantics, per-key
independence, and cleanup after failed publication, for both xattr and
sidecar metadata modes. Add an external SigV4 test
(tests/conditionalrace) that replicates the Buzz A3 probe against a live
gateway, optionally across two gateway processes sharing one backend
directory.
