Here are two minor comments on this:

$ pg_combinebackup /tmp/backup_full/ /tmp/backup_incr2/
/tmp/backup_incr3/ -o /tmp/backup_comb
pg_combinebackup: warning: "pg_wal/000000010000000000000020" is
present on disk but not in the manifest

This warning shouldn’t be reported, since we don’t include WAL in the
backup manifest ? Also, I found that the final resultant manifest
includes this WAL entry:

$ head /tmp/backup_comb/backup_manifest | grep pg_wal
{ "Path": "pg_wal/000000010000000000000020", "Size": 16777216,
"Last-Modified": "2024-08-06 11:54:16 GMT" },

Unused cluster-node in the test.
