Description
<…>s value,
the Tarantool garbage collector deletes old snapshots.
|If the option is set to zero, the garbage collector
does not delete old snapshots.|
https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/reference/configuration/#confval-checkpoint_count
That's an error. Checkpoint count cannot be set to 0. See also https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/issues/11532
Last time this behavior was changed was in 2017: https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/commit/27b86b1d09cd6bd9a8472e3f72066aa9d7d7bfe2

Research direction
Open the configuration reference at the linked checkpoint_count section and compare its statement about setting the option to zero with the behavior described in Tarantool issue #11532 and commit 27b86b1d09cd6bd9a8472e3f72066aa9d7d7bfe2. Done means the documentation accurately describes the valid checkpoint_count behavior.
