 It is **not a sidecar**: `PluginControlService` is a language-agnostic gRPC contract for external maintenance workers, and `weed worker` is the Go reference implementation of it. Everything the Go worker gets from the protocol — scheduling, retries, dedupe, progress, concurrency limits, and a settings page rendered in the admin UI from the worker's own descriptor — the Rust worker gets too.

+Source: `seaweed-worker/` in the SeaweedFS repository. The binary is
+`weed-worker`: it is the Rust side of `weed worker`, the way `weed-volume` is
+the Rust side of `weed volume`, and the Lance jobs are the first family it
+carries rather than the only one it ever will.

+## Getting it

+### Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run chrislusf/seaweedfs worker-rust \
+  --admin admin:23646 --namespace http://s3:9101
+```
+
+The standard image carries it at `/usr/bin/weed-worker` on `amd64` and `arm64`,
+beside the Rust volume server. The verb mirrors `volume-rust`, so plain `worker`
+still runs the Go one. On `arm` and `386` the image says the worker is not
+available for the platform rather than failing as "not found".
+
+### From a release
+
+`weed-worker_linux_amd64.tar.gz` and `weed-worker_linux_arm64.tar.gz`, with
+md5s, on each GitHub release. Linux only: the worker runs beside the cluster it
+maintains, and lance, arrow and datafusion make every extra target an expensive
+build.
