Subject: pgsql: doc: Fix primary status update WAL position description
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 07:56:21 +0000
Message-ID: <E1x6kVB-00000000YP9-3Ijv@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

doc: Fix primary status update WAL position description

Commit 5f3a49abf7f changed the primary status update message to report the
end of the last inserted WAL record instead of the WAL write position.
However, the protocol documentation still described the WAL position field as
the latest WAL write position, which no longer matches the message sent by
walsender.

Update the description of the WAL position field to indicate the end of the
last inserted WAL record, matching the implementation.
