Plan and run B2 backup and restore workflows with presigned or multipart data paths and explicit recovery validation.

Triage suspected B2 exposure, credential misuse, accidental deletion, or ransomware events with containment-first actions.

Audit B2 storage growth, stale versions, unfinished uploads, egress leaders, and lifecycle rules before cost-impacting cleanup.

Plan source-to-B2 or B2-to-B2 migrations with inventory, direct byte transfer, validation, and rollback checkpoints.

Review B2 application keys, design least-privilege replacements, and retire risky keys without exposing durable secrets.

Configure and operate B2 Object Lock retention and legal holds while preserving immutability guarantees.

Prepare a wave-level genblaze release — scope version bumps and dependency-floor drift with tools/prepare_release.py, apply them, gate with make pre-release, and open a release PR. Cannot tag or publish. Use before cutting a new CHANGELOG wave (as opposed to…

Pre-release gate for one genblaze package — version bump, tests, lint, typecheck, CHANGELOG entry, entry-point sanity. Use before creating a GitHub Release (which triggers the PyPI publish workflow in .github/workflows/release.yml).

Scaffold a new genblaze provider connector package with all required files, tests, and entry points by analyzing existing connectors for conventions.

Run tests for a single genblaze package or for only packages whose files changed since main. Use when iterating on a specific connector or after a focused edit — much faster than `make test` across all 13 packages.

Audit docs/* and root markdown for staleness. Checks `last_verified` headers against git mtime, validates Python code examples parse, checks cross-reference links resolve. Use monthly, before release, or after any large refactor.

Manage Backblaze B2 cloud storage. List files, audit usage, estimate cost, clean up stale data, review security posture, and manage lifecycle rules. Use when the user mentions B2, Backblaze, object storage buckets, or storage cleanup.
