Switch transition_default_minimum_object_size from varies_by_storage_class to all_storage_classes_128K, so our bucket behaves as if created today. Because our bucket predates September 2024, it was on the legacy default of varies_by_storage_class. Amazon since September 2024 defaults to all_storage_classes_128K, which prevents objects <128KB from transitioning to any storage class. Note that the legacy behaviour only applies to Glacier and our current lifecycle rule only moves to Infrequent Access, so this has no practical effect today. But aligning with the new defaults avoids footguns if we add Glacier transitions in the future.
