feat: Phase 8 complete -- CP8-5 stability gate, lease grant fix, Docker e2e, 13 chaos scenarios

Phase 8 closes with all 6 checkpoints done (CP8-1 through CP8-5 + CP8-3-1): - CP8-5: 12/12 enterprise QA scenarios PASS on real hardware (m01/M02) - Master-authoritative lease grants (BUG-CP85-11): master renews primary write leases on every heartbeat response, replacing retain-until-confirmed assignment queue semantics that caused 30s lease expiry - Post-rebuild WAL shipping gap fix (BUG-CP85-1): syncLSNAfterRebuild advances replica nextLSN so WAL entries are accepted after rebuild - Block heartbeat startup race fix (BUG-CP85-10): dynamic blockService check on each tick instead of one-shot at loop start - 8 new tests: 4 engine lease grant + 4 registry lease grant - 13 new YAML scenarios: chaos (kill-loop, partition, disk-full), database integrity (sqlite crash, ext4 fsck), perf baseline, metrics verify, snapshot stress, expand-failover, session storm, role flap, 24h soak - 12 new testrunner actions (database, fsck, grep_log, write_loop_bg, stop_bg, assert_metric_gt/eq/lt) + phase repeat support - Docker compose setup + getting-started guide for block storage users - 960+ cumulative unit tests, 24 YAML scenarios Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# SeaweedFS Block Storage -- Getting Started
+
+Block storage exposes SeaweedFS volumes as `/dev/sdX` block devices via iSCSI.
+You can format them with ext4/xfs, mount them, and use them like any disk.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Linux host with `open-iscsi` installed
+- Docker with compose plugin (`docker compose`)
+
+```bash
+# Install iSCSI initiator (Ubuntu/Debian)
+sudo apt-get install -y open-iscsi
+
+# Verify
+sudo systemctl start iscsid
+```
+
+## Quick Start (5 minutes)
+
+### 1. Build the image
+
+```bash
+# From the seaweedfs repo root
+GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o docker/compose/weed ./weed
+cd docker
+docker build -f Dockerfile.local -t seaweedfs-block:local .
+```
+
+### 2. Start the cluster
+
+```bash
+cd docker/compose
+
+# Set HOST_IP to your machine's IP (for remote iSCSI clients)
+# Use 127.0.0.1 for local-only testing
+HOST_IP=127.0.0.1 docker compose -f local-block-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+Wait ~5 seconds for the volume server to register with the master.
+
+### 3. Create a block volume
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://localhost:9333/block/volume \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name":"myvolume","size_bytes":1073741824}'
+```
+
+This creates a 1GB block volume, auto-assigns it as primary, and starts the
+iSCSI target. The response includes the IQN and iSCSI address.
+
+### 4. Connect via iSCSI
+
+```bash
+# Discover targets
+sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 127.0.0.1:3260
+
+# Login
+sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2024-01.com.seaweedfs:vol.myvolume \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:3260 --login
+
+# Find the new device
+lsblk | grep sd
+```
+
+### 5. Format and mount
+
+```bash
+# Format with ext4
+sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX
+
+# Mount
+sudo mkdir -p /mnt/myvolume
+sudo mount /dev/sdX /mnt/myvolume
+
+# Use it like any filesystem
+echo "hello" | sudo tee /mnt/myvolume/test.txt
+```
+
+### 6. Cleanup
+
+```bash
+sudo umount /mnt/myvolume
+sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2024-01.com.seaweedfs:vol.myvolume \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:3260 --logout
+docker compose -f local-block-compose.yml down -v
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+All endpoints are on the master server (default: port 9333).
+
+### Create volume
+
+```
+POST /block/volume
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "name": "myvolume",
+  "size_bytes": 1073741824,
+  "disk_type": "ssd",
+  "replica_placement": "001",
+  "durability_mode": "best_effort"
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Required | Default | Description |
+|-------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `name` | yes | -- | Volume name (alphanumeric + hyphens) |
+| `size_bytes` | yes | -- | Volume size in bytes |
+| `disk_type` | no | `""` | Disk type hint: `ssd`, `hdd` |
+| `replica_placement` | no | `000` | SeaweedFS placement: `000` (no replica), `001` (1 replica same rack) |
+| `durability_mode` | no | `best_effort` | `best_effort`, `sync_all`, `sync_quorum` |
+| `replica_factor` | no | `2` | Number of copies: 1, 2, or 3 |
+
+### List volumes
+
+```
+GET /block/volumes
+```
+
+Returns JSON array of all block volumes with status, role, epoch, IQN, etc.
+
+### Lookup volume
+
+```
+GET /block/volume/{name}
+```
+
+### Delete volume
+
+```
+DELETE /block/volume/{name}
+```
+
+### Assign role
+
+```
+POST /block/assign
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "name": "myvolume",
+  "epoch": 2,
+  "role": "primary",
+  "lease_ttl_ms": 30000
+}
+```
+
+Roles: `primary`, `replica`, `stale`, `rebuilding`.
+
+### Cluster status
+
+```
+GET /block/status
+```
+
+Returns volume count, server count, failover stats, queue depth.
+
+## Remote Client Setup
+
+To connect from a remote machine (not the Docker host):
+
+1. Set `HOST_IP` to the Docker host's network-reachable IP:
+   ```bash
+   HOST_IP=192.168.1.100 docker compose -f local-block-compose.yml up -d
+   ```
+
+2. On the client machine:
+   ```bash
+   sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.1.100:3260
+   sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2024-01.com.seaweedfs:vol.myvolume \
+     -p 192.168.1.100:3260 --login
+   ```
+
+## Volume Lifecycle
+
+```
+create  -->  primary (serving I/O via iSCSI)
+                |
+           unmount/remount OK (lease auto-renewed by master)
+                |
+         assign replica  -->  WAL shipping active
+                |
+          kill primary   -->  promote replica  -->  new primary
+                |
+          old primary    -->  rebuild from new primary
+```
+
+Key points:
+- **Lease renewal is automatic.** The master continuously renews the primary's
+  write lease via the heartbeat stream. Unmount/remount works without manual
+  intervention.
+- **Epoch fencing.** Each role change bumps the epoch. Old primaries cannot
+  write after being demoted -- even if they still have the lease.
+- **Volumes survive container restart.** Data is stored in the Docker volume
+  at `/data/blocks/`. The volume server re-registers with the master on restart.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**iSCSI login fails with "No records found"**
+- Run discovery first: `sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p HOST:3260`
+
+**Device not appearing after login**
+- Check `dmesg | tail` for SCSI errors
+- Verify the volume is assigned as primary: `curl http://HOST:9333/block/volumes`
+
+**I/O errors on write**
+- Check volume role is `primary` (not `none` or `stale`)
+- Check master is running (lease renewal requires master heartbeat)
+
+**Stuck iSCSI session after container restart**
+- Force logout: `sudo iscsiadm -m node -T IQN -p HOST:PORT --logout`
+- If stuck: `sudo ss -K dst HOST dport = 3260` to kill the TCP connection
+- Then re-discover and login
+
+## Docker Compose Reference
+
+```yaml
+# local-block-compose.yml
+services:
+  master:
+    image: seaweedfs-block:local
+    ports:
+      - "9333:9333"      # HTTP API

+      -block.listen=0.0.0.0:3260
+      -block.portal=${HOST_IP:-127.0.0.1}:3260,1
+```
+
+Key flags:
+- `-block.dir`: Directory for `.blk` volume files
+- `-block.listen`: iSCSI target listen address (inside container)
+- `-block.portal`: iSCSI portal address reported to clients (must be reachable)
