Adding REPACK introduced table-rewrite behavior that overlaps with VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER, but some documentation still mentioned only one of these commands or described the progress and locking behavior imprecisely. Clarify that table-rewriting operations, including REPACK, can change CTIDs. Also describe VACUUM FULL, CLUSTER, and REPACK consistently as table-rewriting operations for disk-space recovery where appropriate, document the pg_stat_progress_repack and compatibility pg_stat_progress_cluster views consistently, and clarify the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE locking behavior of REPACK, including CONCURRENTLY. Backpatch to v19, where REPACK was introduced.
