 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-09-21: Made the s3 storage backend report a missing object as
+  `storage.ErrNotFound`, like the `file` and `rclone` backends and as the
+  `Storer` interface documents. `S3Storer.Get` and `Stat` returned the raw
+  AWS SDK error, so `errors.Is(err, storage.ErrNotFound)` was false on s3
+  and callers branched differently per backend. Added a small `s3.IsNotFound`
+  helper (reused by `HeadObject`) and a test that a missing key maps to
+  `ErrNotFound`
+  ([issue #129](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/129)).
+
 - 2026-09-21: Fixed `verify --deep` reporting healthy snapshots as
   corrupt. Its final blob-integrity check hashed the encrypted
   downloaded bytes with a single SHA256 and compared that to the blob
