Month 2025-10: Delivered a bootstrap checkpoint coordination lock for OMDBCheckpointServletInodeBasedXfer in apache/ozone to strengthen data integrity during checkpoint creation. The new Lock class coordinates with background services, blocking operations such as key deletion and snapshot filtering to prevent race conditions and ensure consistent snapshots. The change includes lock acquisition/release integrated into servlet initialization and the checkpoint workflow. This work also includes a corrective initialization as captured in the HDDS-13779 commit.
