Subject: [PATCH] Do not push the active snapshot for copy_table_data before it's needed.
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 12:17:36 +0200

make_new_heap() can launch parallel workers when building index on TOAST
relation. If the snapshot for copy_table_data() is already the active
snapshot, the workers can incorrectly consider it their transaction snapshot.
