            `disabled` keeps the rule in the configuration but skips it during

        transition:

          description: >-
            Move matching objects to another storage class once they are old
            enough. The object keeps its identity — same key, same version id,
            same last-modified — and only its bytes move between pools, so
            pairing a transition with an expiration works: the expiry clock is
            not restarted by the move.

            Exactly one of `days` or `date`. When the rule also has an
            `expiration`, the transition must come strictly first, otherwise the
            object would be deleted before it ever moved and the rule is
            rejected.

            Only one transition per rule: the platform serves two classes, so a
            second has nowhere to go. The S3-compatible endpoint accepts a
            single-element `<Transition>` list and rejects longer ones rather
            than silently applying the first.

                Destination class. Keeps the S3 standard's casing rather than
                the platform's lowercase convention, because the class
                vocabulary is S3's. Unsupported values are rejected — a
                transition to a class that does not exist would silently never
                run.

      description: >
        Request signing with an access key issued to a service account. An

        HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical form of the request, close to AWS SigV4.

        The `basaltic` CLI signs for you.


        Send `Authorization`, `X-Date` (UTC, `YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ`) and `X-Nonce`

        (random per request); add `X-Content-Sha256` to bind a body, and

        `X-Amz-Security-Token` when using temporary credentials.


        ```

        Authorization: BASALTIC-HMAC-SHA256
        Credential=<access_key_id>/<date>/<region>/basaltic/basaltic_request,
        SignedHeaders=host;x-date;x-nonce, Signature=<hex>

        ```


        `<region>` is the region code you are calling, or `global` for the
        global

        services. A signature is valid for 5 minutes from `X-Date`, and mutating

        requests are replay-guarded on the nonce.

        ## Rate limits

        There is no global request budget. A limit applies only where an

        operation documents a `429`, and that operation says what it counts.

        Those responses carry `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`,

        `X-RateLimit-Reset` and, on a `429`, `Retry-After` — read them rather

        than hard-coding a number. Retrying before `Retry-After` is refused and

        extends the window. Everything else is bounded by quota, not by request

        rate.
