I know it. But my question is not that. I did a PITR operation with recovery_target_name and recovery_target_action('shutdown'). The PITR process was very short and the PITR was done before pg_ctl check. The postmaster shutdown due to recovery_target_action, and there was no crash. But pg_ctl told me about startup failure. I think the startup had succeeded and the result was not a exception. pg_ctl should tell users about detailed messages.

DB_SHUTDOWNED cannot be encountered while recovery is ongoing. If there was a hard crash, you'd see DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY or such, if the command was shut down orderly before PITR has finished, you'd see DB_SHUTDOWNED_IN_RECOVERY.
