Thanks for updating the patch. Here are some comments for the v15 patch.

1. src/backend/replication/logical/worker.c

+ * to skip applying the changes when starting to apply changes.  The subskiplsn is
+ * cleared after successfully skipping the transaction or applying non-empty
+ * transaction. The latter prevents the mistakenly specified subskiplsn from

Should "applying non-empty transaction" be modified to "finishing a
transaction"? To be consistent with the description in the
alter_subscription.sgml.

2. src/test/subscription/t/029_on_error.pl

+# Test of logical replication subscription self-disabling feature.

Should we add something about "skip logical replication transactions" in this
comment?
