Update HISTORY.md for 11.12.0 release

Add db_stress coverage for WriteBufferManager flush policies (#15048 )
Summary: Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/15048 Adds a validated db_stress flag for selecting the WriteBufferManager flush policy and randomizes it in db_crashtest. Crash-test generation covers all three policies; kFlushLargestAcrossDBs automatically uses two DBs sharing one manager so the cross-DB path is exercised.

 ### Code Quality and Maintainability

-**Clarity and Readability:** Write clear, self-documenting code. Use meaningful variable names, add comments for complex logic, and structure code to minimize cognitive load. Avoid clever tricks that sacrifice readability for marginal performance gains unless absolutely necessary. Avoid static_cast, reinterpret_cast, and C-style casts; static_cast_with_check, up_cast, and lossless_cast from cast_util.h are preferred.
+**Clarity and Readability:** Write clear, self-documenting code. Use meaningful variable names, add comments for complex logic, and structure code to minimize cognitive load. Avoid clever tricks that sacrifice readability for marginal performance gains unless absolutely necessary.

 **Consistent Style:** Follow existing code style conventions. RocksDB uses `.clang-format` for formatting, specific naming conventions, and structural patterns. Deviations from these patterns are frequently flagged in reviews.

 **Error Handling:** Ensure robust error handling throughout the codebase. Use RocksDB's `Status` type consistently, propagate errors appropriately, and avoid silently ignoring failures. Reviewers pay close attention to edge cases and failure modes.

+**Refactoring traps:** At least in production code, avoid constructs that could allow existing code to unexpectedly, quietly change meaning.
+Specifically:
+* Avoid new defaulted parameters. This is the #1 trap on refactoring!
+* Avoid static_cast, reinterpret_cast, and C-style casts; static_cast_with_check, up_cast, and lossless_cast from cast_util.h are preferred.
+* Avoid declared type `auto` (`auto&`, `auto*` OK).
+
 ### Testing Philosophy

 **Comprehensive Coverage:** Every change should include appropriate test coverage. This includes unit tests for isolated functionality, integration tests for component interactions, and stress tests for concurrency and performance validation. Reviewers will ask for additional tests if coverage is insufficient.

-**CPU Cache Efficiency:** Design data structures and access patterns to be cache-friendly. Keep frequently accessed data together (data locality). Prefer sequential memory access over random access.

 ### API Design and Compatibility

 **Backwards Compatibility:** RocksDB maintains strong backwards compatibility guarantees. Breaking changes are rare and require extensive justification. When deprecating features, follow the project's deprecation policy (typically spanning multiple releases).

+**Behavioral Compatibility:** Behavior changes are human judgment calls that must be intentional, well-documented (including release notes), and well researched for potential downstream production impact. Agents and reviewers must call out potential gaps, ambiguity, or adverse impacts in intentionality, documentation, and production impact. For an existing accepted input—including an undocumented, discouraged, or historically ignored value—the analysis should compare old and new observable behavior, including performance and resource impact, identify known direct callers and stored configurations, and add or update regression coverage as appropriate.
+
 **API Consistency:** New APIs should be consistent with existing patterns. Use similar naming conventions, parameter ordering, and return types. Reviewers will suggest changes to improve consistency with the broader codebase.

 **Documentation:** Public APIs must be thoroughly documented, without unnecessary embelishment nor dwelling on implementation details nor project planning. When non-obvious, include usage examples, parameter descriptions, known bugs or limitations, notes on thread safety, performance characteristics, and compatibility considerations. Re-read comments for ambiguous terminology and phrasing, such as ambiguously re-purposed programming jargon.

 # Rocksdb Change Log
 > NOTE: Entries for next release do not go here. Follow instructions in `unreleased_history/README.txt`

-## 11.9.1 (08/18/2026)
+## 11.12.0 (10/07/2026)
+### New Features
+* Added `FullExternalTableFactory` and related full-mode external table APIs that preserve RocksDB internal keys, enabling external tables to support nonzero sequence numbers, point and single deletions, merge operands, blob indexes, wide-column entities, snapshots, live DB writes, and multi-level compactions.
+
 ### Public API Changes
+* Added experimental coroutine capability interfaces for basic and full `ExternalTableReader` implementations. Coroutine-capable external readers can initiate file reads through `FSRandomAccessFile::SubmitReadAsync()`.
+* `ExternalTableFactory::NewTableReader()` now receives an already-opened `FSRandomAccessFile` and its file size instead of requiring implementations to reopen `file_path`. The supplied file preserves RocksDB's direct-I/O alignment handling, rate limiting, read statistics and listener notifications, prefetching, and synchronous, asynchronous, and batched reads.
+* Added `PutRangeDeletionBlock()`, `GetRangeDeletionBlock()`, and `IsDeleteRangeSupported()` to the external table interfaces so formats can opt in to range deletions using RocksDB's raw range-deletion metadata block.
+* Opaque `PreparedFileInfo` metadata can now be serialized to a checksummed representation with `SerializePreparedFileInfo()` and restored with `DeserializePreparedFileInfo()` for reuse across processes.
+* Removed the deprecated `IngestExternalFileOptions::write_global_seqno` option and its C, Java, and `ldb` APIs, `TableProperties::external_sst_file_global_seqno_offset`, and the `file_offset` output from `ExternalTableReader::GetPropertiesBlock()`. Existing external SST files whose global sequence number was rewritten without updating the properties-block checksum remain readable.
+* `TablePropertiesNames` has no apparent use in the public API so has been deprecated there.
+* `TableProperties::creation_time` is renamed to `oldest_ancestor_time`, which better describes its meaning, along with `TablePropertiesNames::kCreationTime` to `kOldestAncestorTime`. The misspelled `SstFileMetaData::oldest_ancester_time` is renamed to `oldest_ancestor_time`. The old names remain available as deprecated aliases and will be removed in a future release.
+* Added `WriteBufferFlushPolicy` and `WriteBufferManager` policy selection for flushing the oldest or largest column family, including configurable batched flushing of the largest column families across DBs sharing a manager, with C and Java bindings.
+
+### Behavior Changes
+* When `ExternalTableBuilderBase::PutPropertiesBlock()` returns `NotSupported`, RocksDB now overrides `num_entries`, `raw_key_size`, and `raw_value_size` from `ExternalTableBuilderBase::GetTableProperties()` with the logical totals tracked by the external-table adapter. Format-specific properties such as `data_size` remain unchanged.
+* The `FSWritableFile` passed to `ExternalTableFactory::NewTableBuilder()` now reports logical file size including RocksDB-buffered data and exposes the underlying file's direct-I/O mode and required buffer alignment.
+* `Iterator::Refresh()` now returns `NotSupported` on iterators from a secondary DB's `DB::NewIterators()` only, because those iterators are pinned to one cross-column-family read view. Iterators from `DB::NewIterator()` are unaffected; to advance a batch, call `DB::NewIterators()` again after `TryCatchUpWithPrimary()`.
+* `SstFileReader` now reports standard SST read statistics and file I/O listener notifications, and honors the configured read rate limiter.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+* Fixed full recovery from retryable background errors to atomically advance WAL replay boundaries for all column families, preventing partial recovery of multi-column-family write batches after a failed recovery flush.
+* Fixed RocksDB builds on big-endian architectures such as s390x by disabling the optional persistent fault-injection log, whose binary format is little-endian-only.
+* Fixed `DB::ClipColumnFamily()` deleting a non-L0 SST file whose largest key equals `begin_key`, which lost keys at the start of the kept range.
+* Fixed swapped `oldest_key_time` and `newest_key_time` values in the `table_file_creation` event log entry.
+* Fixed `ExternalTableReader::VerifyChecksum()` results not being honored by the external table adapter.
+* Fixed a bug in manifest handling that could lead to a hang or memory corruption in the case of LSM sanity checks being fatally violated (exceptional; see `force_consistency_checks`).
+* Fixed `MultiGet()` with `ReadOptions::read_tier == kBlockCacheTier` reading data blocks from disk when `allow_mmap_reads` is false. Keys whose data block is not in the block cache now return `Status::Incomplete()`, the same as `Get()`.
+* Fixed trace replay (`DB::NewDefaultReplayer()`, db_bench `replay`) failing every read record (Get, MultiGet, iterator seek) on the default column family with `Corruption: Invalid Column Family ID` when the default column family handle was not passed, which is always the case in db_bench with `--num_column_families=1`.
+* Fixed multi-threaded `Replayer::Replay()` ignoring errors from executing trace records and returning OK. It now stops and returns the error, including `Status::NotSupported()` from executing a record, as single-threaded replay does.
+* Fixed secondary DB `NewIterators()` returning iterators from different database states or blocking for `TryCatchUpWithPrimary()` by serving the last completed catch-up view.
+
+### Performance Improvements
+* Single Get coroutine reads using non-mmap, non-direct I/O on a `kFSBuffer`-capable `FileSystem` now use `FSRandomAccessFile::SubmitReadAsync()` instead of falling back to synchronous `Read()`. When rate-limited, these reads acquire their full token budget before submission to preserve a single filesystem-owned buffer, which can make physical I/O burstier than reads using caller-provided buffers.
+
+## 11.11.0 (09/21/2026)
+### New Features
+* External tables now support DB-assigned global sequence numbers when `IngestExternalFileOptions::allow_global_seqno` is enabled, allowing overlapping external tables to be ingested across multiple levels when compactions are disabled. This includes the deprecated `write_global_seqno` path when the reader supplies the properties block's file offset.
+* Added checksum handoff support for SST file writes when `BlockBasedTableOptions::checksum` is `kCRC32c`, allowing block and trailer CRC32C checksums to be passed from the table builder to the file writer for buffered-data validation and filesystem in-flight write protection.
+* Enhanced `sst_dump --command=recompress` to be more powerful for benchmarking, including through automation with a new `--json` option for machine-readable output.
+
+### Public API Changes
+* Changed the experimental async read statistics API by removing `DB::AsyncCallback::EnableStats()` and changing `OnComplete(const PerfContext*, const IOStatsContext*)` to `OnComplete()`. Callers must configure TLS statistics before each async or coroutine read. `DB::GetAsync()` and `DB::MultiGetAsync()` callbacks must copy per-operation statistics from TLS during `OnComplete()`; coroutine users must copy them from inside a `CoroStackableDB` hook before suspending again. Each operation leaves TLS statistics collection disabled.
+* Added `Compressor::MaybeOverrideCompressionOptions()` (EXPERIMENTAL), an omnibus hook letting a custom compressor adjust the subset of `CompressionOptions` that the SST builder applies rather than the compressor itself: `parallel_threads`, `max_compressed_bytes_per_kb`, `auto_skip`, and `auto_skip_min_sample_every` (and potentially more in the future). This deprecates `Compressor::GetRecommendedParallelThreads()`, which it subsumes; the default implementation still honors an overridden `GetRecommendedParallelThreads()` for compatibility.
+* Added experimental `CoroDB::CoGet()` and `CoroDB::CoMultiGet()` overloads for point reads from an `SstFileReader`.
+* Added experimental `DB::GetWithMetadata()` and `DB::MultiGetWithMetadata()` APIs with opt-in output metadata for key timestamps and explicit-snapshot newer-version detection.
+* Added a `DB::NewIterators()` overload that accepts parallel vectors of `ReadOptions` and column family handles, allowing each returned iterator to use independent read settings while sharing a consistent database state. The vectors must have the same size, all snapshots must be null or identical, and all `tailing` settings must match.
+* Added `ReadOptions::custom_context`, an opaque, non-owning pointer passed through table reads so external table implementations can consume application-defined read options.
+
+### Behavior Changes
+* `ExternalTableReader::MultiGet()` is now used by RocksDB's `DB::MultiGet()` path. Previously, the external table adapter used `TableReader`'s fallback, which called `ExternalTableReader::Get()` separately for each key.
+* `DB::OpenAndCompact()` now requires `output_directory` to be a simple name for a new subdirectory when the new `use_session_tmp_dir_for_remote_compaction` DB option is enabled. The option places that subdirectory under the canonical `<dbname>/session_tmp/` root, and `DB::Open()` deletes stale contents under the root after recovery. The disabled default preserves the existing `<dbname>/<output_directory>` layout without automatic cleanup. Previously, remote-compaction output directories were created directly under `<dbname>`, which made it challenging to safely identify and delete obsolete files.
+* Several block-based SST table properties now better support compression benchmarking and optimization: `uncompressed_data_size` is now persisted in the file (previously it was computed only at write time and read back as 0); a new `lsm_info_at_creation` property records the LSM level and "bottommost" status at the file's creation, distinguishing "not applicable" (e.g. SstFileWriter files) from "unknown" (older files); and the `compression_options` property now records the full compression manager configuration instead of only its name.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+* Fixed a usually-minor performance bug where `Cache::ApplyToAllEntries()` used single-entry batches instead of the intended 256-entry default for `ApplyToAllEntriesOptions::average_entries_per_lock`. All of the Cache implementations (LRU and HCC) benefit from the fix, but the disfavored LRU cache was especially impacted by repeated mutex acquisition and release.
+* Fixed stats-disabled coroutine and asynchronous reads inheriting enabled TLS statistics state when interleaved with stats-enabled reads on the same executor. Each read now uses its captured per-call configuration, while enabled request counters remain isolated across suspensions.
+* Fixed a bug where a remote compaction (`CompactionService` / `DB::OpenAndCompact`) requested with `OpenAndCompactOptions::allow_resumption=true` but for which resumption was internally disabled (incompatible with `paranoid_file_checks` or output-iteration verification) could fail a retried attempt, because the output directory was not cleaned before starting fresh and output files left by a previously interrupted attempt collided with the reused file numbers.
+* Fixed a bug where a remote compaction (`CompactionService` / `DB::OpenAndCompact`) could fail when the primary rotated its MANIFEST while the worker was opening the primary's directory read-only. The open reads `CURRENT`, and the primary publishes a new MANIFEST by renaming a freshly written `CURRENT` over the old one; on file systems without POSIX read-after-unlink semantics (remote/object stores) the replaced object is then reported as gone (`PathNotFound`/`NotFound`, or `TryAgain` for the MANIFEST equivalent) instead of remaining readable. `DB::OpenAndCompact()` now retries the secondary open a bounded, configurable number of times for those transient statuses, so a concurrent rotation no longer fails the compaction (which, for a `CompactionService` that does not fall back to a local compaction, became a background error on the primary).
+* Fixed secondary DB `NewIterators()` returning iterators from different database states when `TryCatchUpWithPrimary()` runs concurrently.
+* Fixed a bug where a `SeekToFirst()` on an iterator previously used for a `Seek()` could end the scan early and silently omit keys with `ReadOptions::async_io`, or otherwise run with readahead effectively disabled. Affects scans using `ReadOptions::prefix_same_as_start` together with `ReadOptions::auto_readahead_size` (enabled by default); memory-mapped reads are unaffected.
+
+### Performance Improvements
+* `DB::MultiGetEntityLazy()` now reads all keys of a batch under a single shared per-column-family SuperVersion pin, and a single `LazyWideColumnsBatch::MultiResolve()` coalesces the resulting blob reads across keys: one read per blob file (and one per SST for embedded blobs), for whole-column and byte-range reads alike, instead of reading each key's blobs separately.
+
+
+## 11.10.0 (08/28/2026)
+### New Features
+* Added `BlockBasedTableOptions::optimize_key_common_prefix` as part of new `format_version=8`. When enabled, each data block and index block stores the common user-key prefix of its keys once instead of at every restart point, reducing block size and block-cache footprint for prefix-heavy data and speeding up Seek for bytewise-ordered keys.
+* A new experimental feature spreads out periodic (time-based) compaction trigger times across a fleet of similarly-configured DBs to avoid recurring "thundering herd" triggers, especially with remote compaction. See the new experimental DB option `periodic_compaction_phase_recovery_percent`.
+
+### Public API Changes
+* `IngestExternalFileArg::atomic_replace_range` now supports a range that only partially overlaps existing files, instead of failing. Requires universal compaction and a table factory that supports range deletion; other configurations still fail on partial overlap. The range is also now specified as half-open (`start` inclusive, `limit` exclusive), resolving a previously documented ambiguity in the upper bound.
 * Added an immutable `external_table_config` option that is persisted in OPTIONS files and passed to external table factories during bootstrap.

+### Bug Fixes
+* Fixed a liveness bug where RocksDB could remain indefinitely in recovery from a soft background error when concurrent writes continuously generated normal flush requests.
+* Fixed a race in online error recovery where a concurrent higher-severity I/O error could leave a stale retry-flush plan active, prevent the required WAL switch, and create duplicate internal WAL history detected on DB reopen.
+* Fix "bottommost files" infinite compaction loops (`kBottommostFiles`). This happens with the unsupported combination of leveled compaction and `preserve_internal_time_seconds` / `preclude_last_level_data_seconds`, and in an edge case with user-defined timestamps when `full_history_ts_low` is unset. The underlying logic is now more unified to reduce risk of a similar divergence in logic in the future.
+* Fixed `reuse_manifest_on_open` to create a fresh MANIFEST instead of appending after recovery sees an incomplete atomic group at the MANIFEST tail.
+* Starting remote compaction (`CompactionService` / `DB::OpenAndCompact`) is now more efficient and more reliable, by avoiding unnecessary file operations (latency) while using more accurate consistency / precondition checks, both avoiding some spurious failures and rejecting more legitimate inconsistencies. New DBOption `remote_compaction_manifest_floor` can be disabled in case of unexpected problems with the change.
+* Fixed unbounded retention of recovered transaction state by a long-lived secondary opened with `allow_2pc`.
+* Fixed stale reads on secondary instances, where entries replayed from a WAL that the primary had already flushed could shadow the newer values in the flushed files indefinitely. Also fixed a case where a secondary could stop returning such a key altogether while the primary's flushed file holding it was unreadable.
+* Fixed subset checkpoints to discard tolerated MANIFEST tail corruption before appending column-family drop records.
+
+### Performance Improvements
+* Improved compaction CPU efficiency for column families using an `SstPartitioner` (such as the built-in `SstPartitionerFixedPrefix`): when the partitioner can express its next boundary as a key prefix via the new `SstPartitioner::ShouldPartitionByPrefix()` API, compaction now checks that cached prefix inline instead of copying every user key and making a virtual `ShouldPartition()` call for each key-value written to an SST.
+
 ## 11.9.0 (08/14/2026)
 ### New Features
 * Added an integrated and improved compression auto-skip feature (new CompressionOptions, still experimental) that saves CPU by skipping compression when and where the overall ratio is inadequate. This improves on the previous auto-skip compression manager by (a) taking achieved compression ratios into account, (b) using a continuously evolving payoff estimate, and (c) combining natively with parallel compression.

 Thorough multi-agent code review for RocksDB commits following CLAUDE.md guidelines,
 with structured codebase exploration, inter-agent debate, and verification.

+## Behavioral Compatibility Review Perspective
+
+Behavior changes are human judgment calls. They must be intentional,
+well-documented (including release notes), and researched for potential
+downstream production impact. Agents and reviewers must call out concrete gaps,
+ambiguity, or adverse impacts in the change's intent, documentation, and
+production-impact analysis.
+
+When a diff changes how an existing accepted public or serialized input is
+interpreted—including an undocumented, discouraged, or historically ignored
+value—reviewers must:
+- Compare the old and new observable behavior, including performance and
+  resource impact.
+- Check that the rationale and user-facing documentation clearly describe the
+  change.
+- Identify known direct callers and stored configurations that may depend on
+  the previous behavior.
+- Check for appropriate regression coverage, or a documented reason why such
+  coverage is not practical.
+
+A behavior change is not automatically a defect. Report a finding when the
+intent, documentation, downstream-impact analysis, or mitigation has a concrete
+gap or ambiguity that could lead to an unintended compatibility regression.
+
+## DB Mutex Review Perspective
+
+For every non-trivial change, determine whether the changed code, or any
+transitive callee it adds or changes, can run while `DBImpl::mutex_` is held.
+State the result explicitly, including when the DB mutex is not affected.
+
+`DBImpl::mutex_` is the DB-wide metadata and coordination mutex. It protects
+cross-object invariants involving `ColumnFamilyData`, memtable and
+`SuperVersion` publication, `VersionSet`, snapshots, flush/compaction queues,
+background-job state, and file lifetime. It is shared by all column families
+and can be a hot lock. It is not the filesystem `db_lock_`, and it should not
+replace data-path synchronization already provided by `WriteThread`,
+`wal_write_mutex_`, atomics, referenced `SuperVersion`s, or component-local
+synchronization.
+
+When a DB-mutex critical section is affected:
+
+### Locking and correctness
+
+- Trace the full call path and mark the exact lock and unlock boundaries. Do
+  not inspect only the lines that directly acquire the mutex.
+- State the locking contract. Helpers that require the lock should document it
+  and normally use `mutex_.AssertHeld()`. Check whether each caller expects the
+  lock to be held on return.
+- Treat calls that can release and re-acquire the mutex as concurrency
+  boundaries. Examples include `VersionSet::LogAndApply()`, condition-variable
+  waits, write-thread coordination, and notification helpers. Revalidate state
+  inspected before such a call.
+- Keep atomic metadata transitions under the mutex. Examples include moving a
+  memtable between mutable and immutable state, reserving compaction inputs,
+  installing a `Version` or `SuperVersion`, updating scheduling counters and
+  queues, and changing file-lifetime protection.
+- For expensive work, prefer a prepare/run/install structure: reserve and pin
+  the required state while locked, do CPU or I/O work while unlocked, then
+  re-lock, validate, and publish. Before unlocking, copy mutable options and
+  acquire every required object reference or lifetime reservation.
+- Check object lifetime across every unlocked region. Do not use a raw
+  `ColumnFamilyData*`, `Version*`, memtable, file metadata pointer, or DB-owned
+  container element after unlocking unless an explicit reference,
+  `SuperVersion`, job object, or pending-output reservation keeps it alive.
+- Preserve the snapshot/input-selection boundary. Flush and compaction must not
+  miss a snapshot whose visible key versions they may remove. Missing a newly
+  created snapshot is a correctness bug; retaining a recently released
+  snapshot is conservative but safe.
+- Never invoke untrusted or re-entrant code while holding the mutex. The mutex
+  is non-reentrant, so a callback into RocksDB can self-deadlock.
+- Check lock ordering. `options_mutex_` is acquired before the DB mutex. When
+  both the DB mutex and `wal_write_mutex_` are needed, the DB mutex is acquired
+  first. Establish and document the order for other locks.
+- Keep cleanup outside the critical section when possible. File deletion,
+  `JobContext::Clean()`, expensive `SuperVersion` destruction, logging, and
+  listener callbacks should normally run after protected state is detached or
+  snapshotted.
+- Do not add the DB mutex to steady-state point reads or the normal write data
+  phase without strong justification. Reads normally use a referenced
+  `SuperVersion`; writes use `WriteThread` and component-specific
+  synchronization.
+
+### Critical-section performance
+
+- Compare the CPU and I/O performed under the mutex before and after the
+  change. Include call frequency, loop bounds, input-size scaling, hidden work
+  in callees, and worst-case cost.
+- Account for filesystem or network I/O, waits, callbacks, logging and
+  formatting, allocation, container growth, copies, sorting, scans, reference
+  release and destructors, cache misses, and repeated metadata lookups.
+- Do not allow a significant regression in mutex-held work without clear
+  justification, hold-time or contention measurements, and representative
+  benchmarks.
+- Treat unavoidable work under the mutex as hot-path code and keep it highly
+  optimized. Precompute, allocate, copy, and perform I/O outside the lock;
+  remove repeated scans and lookups; cache or batch work where practical; and
+  keep locked operations O(1) or tightly bounded when possible.
+- Treat new blocking I/O, waits, callbacks into user or plugin code, unbounded
+  loops, or work that scales with DB size, files, column families, snapshots,
+  or pending jobs as a blocker unless it is unavoidable and supported by strong
+  measurements and explicit design justification.
+
+### Validation and evidence
+
+- Test unlock windows with sync points rather than sleeps. Cover relevant races
+  with memtable switches, snapshot create/release, column-family drop,
+  flush/compaction install, shutdown, and background errors. Run TSAN where
+  appropriate.
+- Distinguish wait time from hold time. `PerfContext::db_mutex_lock_nanos` and
+  `DB_MUTEX_WAIT_MICROS` primarily expose acquisition wait; use contention
+  profiles or scoped instrumentation to find long critical sections.
+- Report affected critical sections, before/after cost, workload assumptions,
+  optimization choices, and remaining risk. If exact measurement is not
+  practical, provide a conservative static bound and do not claim no regression
+  without evidence.

+# RocksDB Diff and Pull Request Summary Guidance
+
+This guidance applies to both internal Phabricator diff summaries and external
+GitHub pull request summaries for changes under `fbcode/internal_repo_rocksdb/`.
+
+## Goal
+
+Write each diff or pull request summary for a reviewer who has not read the
+patch. The summary must explain the behavioral story and the evidence for it,
+not merely inventory the edited files or symbols.
+
+Every new or updated diff or pull request summary must clearly cover:
+
+1. Why the change is required.
+2. What the previous behavior was, including the failure mode or limitation.
+3. What the new behavior is.
+4. What changed in the implementation.
+5. Safety boundaries, compatibility, and unsupported or intentionally deferred
+   cases.
+6. Tests performed and known limitations of the validation.
+
+Use explicit headings for a broad, subtle, or high-risk change. A small,
+focused change may combine these points into a few paragraphs, but none may be
+left implicit when it affects a review decision.
+
+## What Good RocksDB Summaries Make Concrete
+
+- Name the exact conditions that activate a bug or behavior: relevant options,
+  call ordering, storage mode, concurrency mode, file format, platform, or
+  workload shape. Also state important cases that are not affected.
+- Explain the causal chain from the old behavior to its externally observable
+  result. For correctness fixes, distinguish a symptom from the underlying
+  invariant violation.
+- Describe the new contract before implementation mechanics. Then identify the
+  essential implementation choices and why they are sufficient.
+- Call out API, ABI, serialized-format, behavioral, and performance
+  compatibility where relevant. For additive persisted fields, state how older
+  data is interpreted and whether older readers remain supported.
+- State safety boundaries precisely: defaults, feature gates, fallback paths,
+  ownership and lifetime constraints, memory-ordering assumptions, and cases
+  deliberately postponed to a follow-up.
+- Support performance claims with a baseline, workload and configuration,
+  measurement method, and results. Report meaningful tradeoffs, not only the
+  winning metric.
+- Make the test plan evidence-based. Name the tests and configurations, say
+  what behavior each proves, and report failures, timeouts, untested platforms,
+  or stale pre-rebase results honestly. For a regression test, say how it fails
+  without the fix when that was verified.
+- Separate incidental cleanup or a pre-existing test fix from the primary
+  change, and explain why it belongs in the diff.
+
+Avoid vague claims such as "improves performance," "fixes an issue," or "tests
+pass." Avoid copying the patch into prose, exhaustive file-by-file narration,
+raw command output, and claims broader than the evidence.
+
+## Suggested Structure
+
+Adapt this structure to the change; do not keep empty or irrelevant sections.
+
+```text
+Summary:
+
+Why the change is required:
+<User or system impact, and why the current behavior is inadequate.>
+
+Previous behavior:
+<Old contract or mechanism, triggering conditions, and observable result.>
+
+New behavior:
+<New contract and externally visible effect.>
+
+Implementation:
+<Essential design and code changes; omit routine edit-by-edit narration.>
+
+Safety, compatibility, and limitations:
+<Defaults, unaffected paths, compatibility, unsupported cases, and follow-ups.>
+
+Test Plan:
+<Exact tests/benchmarks, configurations, what they demonstrate, and gaps.>
+```
+
+For a focused bug fix, a cohesive narrative can be clearer than six headings:
+problem and root cause, trigger and unaffected cases, fix, then quantified or
+counterfactual validation. For a multi-part change, labeled bullets such as
+`Fix`, `Add`, and `Change` can make the implementation and review surface easy
+to scan.
+
+## Reference Pull Request Summaries
+
+- [PR #15216](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/15216) is a strong
+  focused bug-fix example. It traces stale iterator state to readahead behavior
+  and dropped keys, identifies the exact prerequisites and unaffected mmap
+  case, gives before/after measurements, and explains how the regression test
+  fails when the fix is reverted.
+- [PR #15218](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/15218) is a concise
+  example of explicit `Why`, `Previous behavior`, `New behavior`,
+  `Implementation`, and `Safety boundaries and unsupported cases` sections.
+- Peter Dillinger's [PR #15231](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/15231)
+  is a strong recent multi-part example. Its `Fix`/`Add`/`Change` bullets
+  separate the behaviors, its compatibility sentence explains how old files
+  read back, and its test plan maps each new persisted property to concrete
+  coverage while explaining an adjacent test adjustment.
+
+Use these pull requests as models for reasoning, specificity, and evidence. Do
+not copy their length or headings mechanically; scale the summary to the risk
+and complexity of the change.
