…IO community edition The compatibility audit does not cover the single-node/single-drive (FS mode) case explicitly. This documents a production upgrade from the final community release (RELEASE.2025-10-15T17-29-55Z) to Silo RELEASE.2026-09-16T00-00-00Z: why standalone deployments are low-risk (schema retention, no multi-node REST concern, IAM tightening not applicable), the validated procedure with layered verification, field results (~5.9k objects, zero migration, zero hardening rejections, full app regression passed), and the post-upgrade behavior changes to review per client (TLS defaults, If-Match on DeleteObject, multipart listing cap, TRUSTED_PROXIES default).

Context
The MinIO community edition is archived (2026-04-25) and its binary channels are gone, so operators on the final community release need a documented path to Silo. The compatibility audit covers server behavior changes well, but does not explicitly address the single-node / single-drive (FS mode) case that most small self-hosted deployments run.
