September 2025 (ceph/s3-tests): Delivered Cross-Bucket Copy Validation feature to the S3 test suite. The feature extends validation to copying objects into a different, non-versioned bucket, including creating the destination bucket, performing the copy, retrieving the object from the destination to verify transfer, and cleaning up resources. This work ensures correct handling of object copying between versioned and non-versioned buckets, strengthening end-to-end data transfer validation and reducing regression risk for cross-bucket workflows.

February 2025 monthly summary for ceph/s3-tests focused on stability improvements in the Dbstore backend test suite and ensuring reliable CI signals across storage backends.
