In the previous paragraph, you said the behavior difference while
stopping the replication but it is not clear from where this DISABLE
command comes in that scenario.

What causes such a transaction to be visible after promotion? Ideally,
if the commit doesn't succeed, the transaction shouldn't be visible.
Do, we allow the transaction waiting due to delay to get committed on
promotion?

Can you please explain a bit more as asked above to understand the difference?
