Research direction

Start at the WAL Restore gRPC entry point and inspect how the plugin configuration maps to /controller/wal-restore-spool and the replica's PostgreSQL data paths. Reproduce the cluster creation, trace why the requested WAL file is absent, and verify that replica recovery completes without the error.
