A replicated version purge reaches the peer without the governance
bypass header, so a GOVERNANCE-retained version deleted on the source
with x-amz-bypass-governance-retention was rejected by the peer's WORM
deletion gate forever: retryStats ended at a permanent failed count and
the sites stayed diverged (issue #6850).
The source is authoritative for such a purge: the same WORM gate
already ran there, and GOVERNANCE retention with an authorized bypass
is the only lock state it can purge through. The peer's commit-time
deletion gate now treats an authorized replication delete addressed to
an explicit version as carrying that judged bypass, reusing the same
trust judgment as the replication write exemption
(ObjectOptions::replication_request, set only after the handler
authorized ReplicateDeleteAction). COMPLIANCE retention and legal hold
keep blocking replicated purges, and a plain client delete without the
bypass header stays rejected.
