      The incident in WT-14376  "Data corruption during recovery as a result of opening History Store", found that we loaded a checkpoint into the in-memory checkpoint list that was older than the current checkpoint. This resulted in corrupted extent lists when the checkpoint extent lists were merged. We should add a check to ensure the checkpoints in the checkpoint list are in chronological order.
