Yes, The assert also guard the InvalidTransactionId. So I removed this
solution in v2. Another reason for this is: if we allowed
BooststrapTransactionId in the commit_ts, it introduces something new to
this module when initdb with track_commit_timestamp=on. This risk might
be very low, but it can be avoided easily with the another solution.

I think you are right. so I used IsBootstrapProcessingMode in v2.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] Don't record commit_ts in bootstarp mode.

This case would raise Assert failure in TransactionIdSetCommitTs  when
initdb with track_commit_timestamp=on.

Another option might be allowing BooststrapTransactionId in
TransactionIdSetCommitTs, but this adds a new change in
commit_ts module, which risk could be avoided easily with current
solution.
