Oh, good point. But there doesn't seem to be any ill effect from
making BootstrapModeMain set BootstrapProcessing a bit earlier.
Attached is a proof-of-concept that I've actually tested.
However, what I find with this POC is that
initdb -c transaction_timeout=10s
goes through fine, but (at least on my machine)
initdb -c transaction_timeout=1
yields
...
running bootstrap script ... ok
performing post-bootstrap initialization ... 2025-07-04 13:08:04.225 EDT
[261836] FATAL: terminating connection due to transaction timeout
child process exited with exit code 1
because 1ms is not enough time to complete the post-bootstrap run.
I would argue that that's pilot error and we did exactly what the
user demanded, but is there anyone who wants to say that we should
suppress such GUCs during post-bootstrap too?
