Running any shard merge suite with auto-bootstrapping on will result in a time monotonicity violation invariant being triggered: 

Time monotonicity violation: lookup time { topologyTime: Timestamp(1708460855, 31), rsmIncrement: 0, forceReloadIncrement: 1 } which is less than the earliest expected timeInStore { topologyTime: Timestamp(1708460865, 21), rsmIncrement: 0, forceReloadIncrement: 1 

I think this error may somehow be caused by the ShardingReplicaSetChangeListener performing a lookup while shard merge is running.

To reproduce the crash, checkout the following branch: 

https://github.com/10gen/mongo/compare/wenqinYe/SERVER-83169?expand=1

Then run the following test:

buildscripts/resmoke.py run --suites=buildscripts/resmokeconfig/suites/shard_merge_jscore_passthrough.yml jstests/parallel/insert.js | tee test.txt

To see the error and the backtrace, in the test.txt file search for "time monotonicty violation".
