Documented steps

  1. Rebalancing ignores object versions already expired per the parent bucket's lifecycle rules
  2. It also ignores objects whose only remaining version is a trailing delete marker, to avoid moving fully-deleted objects between pools
  3. MinIO relies on the scanner to later capture and remove those expired objects or trailing delete markers
