This phase gives momo bucket-level lock enablement at creation, per-version retention and legal holds, and a delete path that answers 403 instead of quietly removing bytes. Teaches: how COMPLIANCE and GOVERNANCE differ in who can override them, why lock state must live beside the version record rather than inside object metadata, and which parts of AWS’s surface momo deliberately does not pretend to implement.
