      Similar to SERVER-124383 and SERVER-123599: gContainerWrites is an FCV-gated feature flag. FCVGatedFeatureFlag::isEnabled combines the flag's _enabled boolean with an FCV comparison, so a setForServerParameter(true) at startup flips _enabled but does not bypass the FCV gate. During the window between a binary upgrade to 9.0 and the subsequent FCV upgrade, the flag therefore reads as off even when configuration requires it to be on.
