Can we just select lsn in the query on line 413 and simplify?

Ah yes, just did. Updated and rebased.
When adding a third node in a Z0DAN sync scenario, the origin advancement
logic in spock.check_commit_timestamp_and_advance_slot was using
spock.lag_tracker to retrieve commit timestamps and convert them back to LSNs.
This approach no longer works because spock.progress is now an in-memory HTAB
instead of a catalog table, so lag_tracker doesn't retain historical
data after the SYNC process COPY operation.
Root Cause:
The procedure spock.create_disable_subscriptions_and_slots creates logical
slots on existing nodes (e.g., n2) when adding a new node (n3). In v5,
the commit LSN/timestamp from the source node (n1) was copied to n3 via
lag_tracker during SYNC, and spock.check_commit_timestamp_and_advance_slot
would use this to advance the origin. With the HTAB-based progress table, this
data is no longer available after COPY.
The Fix:
1. Capture the LSN returned by pg_create_logical_replication_slot in
create_disable_subscriptions_and_slots and store it in temp_sync_lsns
2. Use this LSN directly in check_commit_timestamp_and_advance_slot to
advance the origin, eliminating the dependency on lag_tracker and the
timestamp→LSN conversion
This approach is more reliable because it uses the authoritative LSN from
slot creation - the exact point where the apply/sync process will begin
decoding when the subscription is enabled.
Apply the same fix from commit 86acd7b to zodan.py: - Use LSN from pg_create_logical_replication_slot() - Advance slot to stored commit LSN instead of querying lag_tracker - Store both sync_lsn and commit_lsn for later use
