Option A for the win! Comparing log locations is the way to go. Any other method just seems like making things more complicated than they need to be.

I'd have to go with Option B. Counting the components in pgstartreplication and comparing to the total Followers sounds like a good way to validate the setup.

Option D is a bit convoluted. Retrieving credentials from a test app and comparing them seems like an unnecessary extra step when simpler options are available.

I'm leaning towards Option C. Validating the Follower container ID against the Leader's info endpoint would provide a good cross-check on the Follower's identity.
