Agree that it should behave that way.

That's the scenario I had in mind when asking the question above.

I don't think so.

For example, such a scenario could occur:

- there is no physical slot between the standby and the primary
- the standby is shut down
- logical decoding on the primary is moving forward and now there is vacuum
operations that will conflict on the standby
- the standby starts and reports the logical slot being invalidated (while it is
not on the primary)

In such a case (slot valid on the primary but invalidated on the standby) then I think we
could drop and recreate the invalidated slot on the standby.

from what I've seen, yes it looks like it behaves that way (will look closer).
