I think there's a few more failues. Fairywren regularly fails, including in a
run from today.

There also are a lot of CI failures. E.g.

[22:46:25.366](0.000s) #                   ''

I was first suspecting that this is due to

commit 1c162c965a1
Author: Fujii Masao <[email protected]>
Date:   2026-03-24 22:33:09 +0900

    Report detailed errors from XLogFindNextRecord() failures.

but there are afaict failures from before that:
https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5501609960013824
which is for 4019f725f5d, preceding 1c162c965a1
and
https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5317196043255808


It does feel however the failure frequency has increased substantially:
