I tested the scenario that
we resulted in skipping prepared transaction data and
the replica became out of sync, which was described in [2].
And, as you said, the problem is addressed in v43.

I used twophase_snapshot.spec as a reference
for the flow (e.g. how to make a consistent snapshot
between prepare and commit prepared) and this time,
as an alternative of the SQL API(pg_create_logical_replication_slot),
I issued CREATE SUBSCRIPTION, and other than that,
I followed other flows in the spec file mainly.

I checked that the replica has the same data at the end of this test,
which means the mechanism of spoolfile works.
