Issue #829 was opened indicating, with a reproducible, that repmgr was not able to run `node rejoin` with minimal privileged user. The main obstacle is that pg_rewind is not able to execute the rewind operation if the user has REPLICATION privileges, but the user repmgr uses requires REPLICATION. This is a typical catch22. The solution provided here adds a --superuser, similar to what other commands have, to `node rejoin` AI-assisted development notes: The approach was designed and directed by Martín Marqués, who also reviewed and refined the output. Code was written by Claude (AI), with some additions from Martín in the documentation.

repmgr: Replication Manager for PostgreSQL
repmgr is a suite of open-source tools to manage replication and failover
within a cluster of PostgreSQL servers. It enhances PostgreSQL's built-in
replication capabilities with utilities to set up standby servers, monitor
replication, and perform administrative tasks such as failover or switchover
operations.
The most recent repmgr version (5.5.x) supports all PostgreSQL versions from
13 to 17. Despite it could be used with some older ones, some features might not
be available, however, it's strongly recommended to use the latest version.
repmgr is distributed under the GNU GPL 3 and maintained by EnterpriseDB.
