This is exactly the point of my question (and I figured it out too): Where is this explained that «pg_wal.tar.gz file has to uncompressed in pg_wal dir»?
indeed, I am not able to find or search relative reference in docs (i never used pg_basebackup for backups but mostly replica setup),
so i never ran this procedure.
although, i see a reference in test lib file to help atleast confirm the source repo has a reference to it.
