What problem does this PR solve?
Issue Number: close #58031
Problem Summary:
The previous lag calculation relied on c.lastCheckpoint.TS to compute the lag. However, this approach is unreliable, especially when ownership changes, as c.lastCheckpoint.TS is not guaranteed to increase steadily. This PR addresses the issue by introducing a global checkpoint timestamp that maintains a strictly non-decreasing state.
What changed and how does it work?
The lag calculation now utilizes a global checkpoint timestamp instead of c.lastCheckpoint.TS. This global timestamp ensures consistency and stability, as it always increases or stays the same, even during ownership transitions. This change guarantees a more robust and accurate lag measurement.
