Yeah, there are two problems here. From what I can see, ensuring the
execution of archive_cleanup_command on the standby needs the
checkpoint on the primary and the restart point on the standby. So
pg_current_wal_lsn() should be located after the primary's checkpoint
and not before it so as we are sure that the checkpoint records finds
its way to the standby. That's what Tom mentioned upthread.
The second problem is to make sure that $standby2 sees the promotion
of $standby and its history file, but we also want to recover
00000002.history from some archives to create a RECOVERYHISTORY at
recovery for the purpose of the test. Switching to a new segment as
proposed by Andres does not seem completely right to me because we are
not 100% sure of the ordering an archive is going to happen, no? I
think that the logic to create $standby2 from the initial backup of
the primary is right, because there is no 00000002.history in it, but
we also need to be sure that 00000002.history has been archived once
the promotion of $standby is done. This can be validated thanks to
the logs, actually.

This comes from df86e52, where we want to recovery a history file that
would be created as RECOVERYHISTORY and make sure that the file gets
removed at the end of recovery. So $standby2 should choose a new
timeline different from the one of chosen by $standby. Looking back
at what has been done, it seems to me that the comment is the
incorrect part:

All that stuff leads me to the attached. Thoughts?
