Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The change separates commit LSN progress from timestamp ordering to handle clock skew and forwarded transactions. Current evidence indicates the updated progress behavior is consistent with recovery and parallel-apply expectations, so it is mergeable. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Origin commit timestamps may be ahead of the subscriber clock and, for forwarded transactions, need not increase with the provider WAL position. Remove the assertion that local apply time follows origin commit time. Advance remote_commit_lsn independently of the timestamp fields, while keeping remote_commit_ts and its local observation fields paired for lag reporting. Treat prev_remote_ts as a commit-order synchronization token rather than a timestamp high-water mark. Update it for commit records even when their timestamp is below the recorded maximum, while leaving it unchanged for statistics-only updates.

Some feedback. Also try to include tests if possible.

With the LSN now advancing on its own, remote_commit_ts and remote_commit_lsn in spock.progress can describe two different commits, as the comment above says. The struct doc still promises the opposite: include/spock_group.h:102 reads "remote_commit_lsn - LSN of the COMMIT corresponding to the remote_commit_ts." Could you update that line in this PR (something like "the most advanced COMMIT LSN seen on this stream; may belong to a later commit than remote_commit_ts when transactions are forwarded")?

This makes prev_remote_ts follow the last commit record, which is the right thing for wait_for_previous_transaction() (equality test, spock_apply.c:311). One consumer still treats it as a high-water mark, though: spock_progress_recovery.c:359 rebuilds it as running_max_ts after a crash. With forwarding, a follower whose predecessor was a low-ts forwarded commit could then wait on a value the recovered entry never takes. Possibly out of scope here, but worth a comment at the recovery site, or a follow-up issue, so the two readings of the field don't drift apart again.

Agree with dropping the Assert.
Say which clocks these are, so nobody reinstates it: remote_commit_ts is the origin's commit timestamp (logical-clock bumped on the patched server), last_updated_ts is this node's system clock at apply time; the only comparisons that mean anything are commit-ts against commit-ts, or a local reading against the same local clock.
FYI, I have a separate branch I am working on that adds more comments about *_commit_ts being from origins, and the others (usually) being wall clock timestamps, but still may be worth a brief mention here while changing.
