I've checked your patch, but it seems that it cannot be applied as is, since
it e.g. adds a comment to 005_same_timeline.pl without actually changing the
test. So I've slightly modified your patch and tried to fit both dry-run and
ensureCleanShutdown testing together. It works just fine and fails
immediately if any of recent fixes is reverted. I still think that dry-run
testing is worth adding, since it helped to catch this v12 refactoring
issue, but feel free to throw it way if it isn't commitable right now, of
course.
I can guarantee the last patch I sent can be applied on top of HEAD:

Yes, it did, but my comment was about these lines:

You have added this new comment section, but kept the old one, which was pretty much the same [1].

Regarding the rest, I have hacked my way through as per the attached.
The previous set of patches did the following, which looked either
overkill or not necessary:
- Why running test 005 with the remote mode?

OK, it was definitely an overkill, since remote control file fetch will be also tested in any other remote test case.

- --dry-run coverage is basically the same with the local and remote
modes, so it seems like a waste of resource to run it for all the
tests and all the modes.

My point was to test --dry-run + --write-recover-conf in remote, since the last one may cause recovery configuration write without doing any actual work, due to some wrong refactoring for example.

- There is no need for the script checking for options combinations to
initialize a data folder.  It is important to design the tests to be
cheap and meaningful.

Yes, I agree, moving some of those tests to just a 001_basic seems to be a proper optimization.

Patch v3-0002 also had a test to make sure that the source server is
shut down cleanly before using it.  I have included that part as
well, as the flow feels right.

So, Alexey, what do you think?

It looks good for me. Two minor remarks:

+    # option combinations.  As the code paths taken by those tests
+    # does not change for the "local" and "remote" modes, just run them

I am far from being fluent in English, but should it be 'do not change' instead?

+command_fails(
+    [
+        'pg_rewind',     '--target-pgdata',
+        $primary_pgdata, '--source-pgdata',
+        $standby_pgdata, 'extra_arg1'
+    ],

Here and below I would prefer traditional options ordering "'--key', 'value'". It should be easier to recognizefrom the reader perspective:

+command_fails(
+    [
+        'pg_rewind',
+        '--target-pgdata', $primary_pgdata,

+    ],
