 ## Current State
 
-### What Works
-- **S3 with presigned URLs**: Primary mode, working
+### What Works ✅
+- **S3 Native Mode with presigned URLs**: Fully working! Direct uploads to S3 via presigned URLs
+- **Buffered mode with S3**: Tested and working with `DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true`
+- **Filesystem storage**: Tested and working! Buffered mode with filesystem driver
 - **AppView multipart client**: Implements chunked uploads via multipart API
+- **MultipartManager**: Session tracking, automatic cleanup, thread-safe operations
+- **Automatic fallback**: Falls back to buffered mode when S3 unavailable or disabled
+- **ETag normalization**: Handles quoted/unquoted ETags from S3
+- **Route handler**: `/multipart-parts/{uploadID}/{partNumber}` endpoint added and tested
 
-### What's Broken
-- **Filesystem storage**: multipart endpoints return "S3 not configured" error
-- **S3 fallback mode**: No fallback when presigned URL generation fails
-- **Non-S3 drivers**: Azure, GCS, etc. not supported for multipart
+### All Implementation Complete! 🎉
+All three multipart upload modes are fully implemented, tested, and working in production.
+
+### Bugs Fixed 🔧
+- **Missing S3 parts in complete**: For S3Native mode, parts uploaded directly to S3 weren't being recorded. Fixed by storing parts from request in `HandleCompleteMultipart` before calling `CompleteMultipartUploadWithManager`.
+- **Malformed XML error from S3**: S3 requires ETags to be quoted in CompleteMultipartUpload XML. Added `normalizeETag()` function to ensure quotes are present.
+- **Route missing**: `/multipart-parts/{uploadID}/{partNumber}` not registered in cmd/hold/main.go. Fixed by adding route handler with path parsing.
+- **MultipartMgr access**: Field was private, preventing route handler access. Fixed by exporting as `MultipartMgr`.
+- **DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS not logged**: `initS3Client()` didn't check the flag before initializing. Fixed with early return check and proper logging.
 
 ## Architecture
 
 ### Three Modes of Operation
 
-#### Mode 1: S3 Native Multipart (Currently Working)
+#### Mode 1: S3 Native Multipart ✅ WORKING
 ```
 Docker → AppView → Hold → S3 (presigned URLs)
                     ↓
···
 - Minimal bandwidth usage
 - Fast uploads
 
-#### Mode 2: S3 Proxy Mode (Not Yet Implemented)
+#### Mode 2: S3 Proxy Mode (Buffered) ✅ WORKING
 ```
 Docker → AppView → Hold → S3 (via driver)
                     ↓
···
 - S3 API fails to generate presigned URL
 - Fallback from Mode 1
 
-#### Mode 3: Filesystem Mode (Not Yet Implemented)
+#### Mode 3: Filesystem Mode ✅ WORKING
 ```
 Docker → AppView → Hold (filesystem driver)
                     ↓

 ### Load Tests
 - [ ] Concurrent multipart uploads (multiple sessions)
···
 - Azure Blob Storage multipart
 - Google Cloud Storage resumable uploads
 - Backblaze B2 large file API
+
+## Implementation Complete ✅
+
+The buffered multipart mode is fully implemented with the following components:
+
+**Route Handler** (`cmd/hold/main.go:47-73`):
+- Endpoint: `PUT /multipart-parts/{uploadID}/{partNumber}`
+- Parses URL path to extract uploadID and partNumber
+- Delegates to `service.HandleMultipartPartUpload()`
+
+**Exported Manager** (`pkg/hold/service.go:20`):
+- Field `MultipartMgr` is now exported for route handler access
+- All handlers updated to use `s.MultipartMgr`
+
+**Configuration Check** (`pkg/hold/s3.go:20-25`):
+- `initS3Client()` checks `DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS` flag before initializing
+- Logs clear message when presigned URLs are disabled
+- Prevents misleading "S3 presigned URLs enabled" message
+
+## Testing Multipart Modes
+
+### Test 1: S3 Native Mode (presigned URLs) ✅ TESTED
+```bash
+export STORAGE_DRIVER=s3
+export S3_BUCKET=your-bucket
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
+# Do NOT set DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS
+
+# Start hold service
+./bin/atcr-hold
+
+# Push an image
+docker push atcr.io/yourdid/test:latest
+
+# Expected logs:
+# "✅ S3 presigned URLs enabled"
+# "Started S3 native multipart: uploadID=... s3UploadID=..."
+# "Completed multipart upload: digest=... uploadID=... parts=..."
+```
+
+**Status**: ✅ Working - Direct uploads to S3, minimal bandwidth through hold service
+
+### Test 2: Buffered Mode with S3 (forced proxy) ✅ TESTED
+```bash
+export STORAGE_DRIVER=s3
+export S3_BUCKET=your-bucket
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
+export DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true  # Force buffered mode
+
+# Start hold service
+./bin/atcr-hold
+
+# Push an image
+docker push atcr.io/yourdid/test:latest
+
+# Expected logs:
+# "⚠️  S3 presigned URLs DISABLED by config (DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true)"
+# "Presigned URLs disabled (DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true), using buffered mode"
+# "Stored part: uploadID=... part=1 size=..."
+# "Assembled buffered parts: uploadID=... parts=... totalSize=..."
+# "Completed buffered multipart: uploadID=... size=... written=..."
+```
+
+**Status**: ✅ Working - Parts buffered in hold service memory, assembled and written to S3 via driver
+
+### Test 3: Filesystem Mode (always buffered) ✅ TESTED
+```bash
+export STORAGE_DRIVER=filesystem
+export STORAGE_ROOT_DIR=/tmp/atcr-hold-test
+# DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS not needed (filesystem never has presigned URLs)
+
+# Start hold service
+./bin/atcr-hold
+
+# Push an image
+docker push atcr.io/yourdid/test:latest
+
+# Expected logs:
+# "Storage driver is filesystem (not S3), presigned URLs disabled"
+# "Started buffered multipart: uploadID=..."
+# "Stored part: uploadID=... part=1 size=..."
+# "Assembled buffered parts: uploadID=... parts=... totalSize=..."
+# "Completed buffered multipart: uploadID=... size=... written=..."
+
+# Verify blobs written to:
+ls -lh /var/lib/atcr/hold/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256/
+# Or from outside container:
+docker exec atcr-hold ls -lh /var/lib/atcr/hold/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256/
+```
+
+**Status**: ✅ Working - Parts buffered in memory, assembled, and written to filesystem via driver
+
+**Note**: Initial HEAD requests will show "Path not found" errors - this is normal! Docker checks if blobs exist before uploading. The errors occur for blobs that haven't been uploaded yet. After upload, subsequent HEAD checks succeed.

 The implementation has automatic fallbacks, so partial failures won't break functionality.
 
+## Testing with DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS
+
+### Environment Variable
+
+Set `DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true` to force proxy/buffered mode even when S3 is configured.
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Testing proxy/buffered code paths with S3 storage
+- Debugging multipart uploads in buffered mode
+- Simulating S3 providers that don't support presigned URLs
+- Verifying fallback behavior works correctly
+
+### How It Works
+
+When `DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true`:
+
+**Single blob operations:**
+- `getDownloadURL()` returns proxy URL instead of S3 presigned URL
+- `getHeadURL()` returns proxy URL instead of S3 presigned HEAD URL
+- `getUploadURL()` returns proxy URL instead of S3 presigned PUT URL
+- Client uses `/blobs/{digest}` endpoints (proxy through hold service)
+
+**Multipart uploads:**
+- `StartMultipartUploadWithManager()` creates **Buffered** session instead of **S3Native**
+- `GetPartUploadURL()` returns `/multipart-parts/{uploadID}/{partNumber}` instead of S3 presigned URL
+- Parts are buffered in memory in the hold service
+- `CompleteMultipartUploadWithManager()` assembles parts and writes via storage driver
+
+### Testing Example
+
+```bash
+# Test S3 with forced proxy mode
+export STORAGE_DRIVER=s3
+export S3_BUCKET=my-bucket
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
+export DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true  # Force buffered/proxy mode
+
+./bin/atcr-hold
+
+# Push an image - should use proxy mode
+docker push atcr.io/yourdid/test:latest
+
+# Check logs for:
+# "Presigned URLs disabled, using proxy URL"
+# "Presigned URLs disabled (DISABLE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true), using buffered mode"
+# "Stored part: uploadID=... part=1 size=..."
+```
