I think this summary of the behavior is probably not correct in
detail. For example, if the recovery target isn't reached by the time
the standby reaches the end of archived WAL, I think standby_mode will
affect what happens next.
I do think that the documentation of standby_mode ought to mention
that recovery_target_whatever can cause the server to promote even
when standby_mode is on.
