Conversation
Customers on Spock 5.0.9 or later can now add a 6.0.0 node to their cluster with zodan add_node() instead of upgrading every node first. 5.0.9 stays the floor: zodan already refuses anything older, and releases before 5.0.9 have known issues we do not want in production. Before this change a 6.0.0 node could not join a 5.0.x cluster: zodan required the same major.minor on every node, and even with that gate removed two things broke against a 5.0.x provider. - The 6.0.0 sync worker calls spock.read_peer_progress() on the provider, which only exists in 6.0.0. Probe the provider's spock_version_num() and, below 6.0.0, read peer progress with an inline query against the 5.x spock.progress table. The resume LSN comes from pg_replication_origin_status in both paths, so its meaning is unchanged. - zodan polls the source node's spock.progress for remote_commit_lsn, which 5.x still calls remote_lsn. Pick the column name from the source node's Spock version. Version rule in check_spock_version_compatibility: every node must be 5.0.9 or later; existing nodes must share one major.minor (patch differences allowed); the new node may run the same or a newer major.minor, never an older one, since only the newer sync worker knows how to talk to older providers. Add tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl, which adds a current-branch node to a cluster built from an older tag or branch, optionally under pgbench load. Like 014_rolling_upgrade.pl it needs PostgreSQL 18 for extension_control_path. Tested: 6.0.0 node added to 5.0.9, 5.0.10 and 5.0.11 clusters, idle and under load, plus an all-6.0.0 control run.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe change permits a newer major.minor node to join an existing Zodan cluster. It adds version-aware progress-column handling in SQL and C, updates documentation, and adds a TAP test for mixed-version replication. Mixed-version Zodan support

Make COL_OFFSET mutable.
COL_OFFSET is declared const int, but the legacy-provider branch assigns 3 to it. This violates the C constraint for assignment to a const-qualified object and prevents compilation. Change its declaration to int.

Create $SCRATCH before writing test artifacts.
When ZODAN_SCRATCH names a new directory, shell redirection on Line 194 fails before psql starts. dump_state then dies when it opens its output file. Create the directory after resolving $SCRATCH.

🌐 Web query:
PostgreSQL extension_control_path introduced PostgreSQL 18 documentation
💡 Result:
The extension_control_path parameter was introduced in PostgreSQL 18 [1][2][3]. It is a Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) parameter that allows PostgreSQL to search for extension control files (.control) in directories outside of the default, compiled-in installation directory [4][5][1]. Key details about extension_control_path: * Purpose: It enables extensions, including their control files and SQL scripts, to be stored in non-standard or external locations [5][1]. This is particularly useful for environments like Kubernetes, where it allows extensions to be managed as separate artifacts (e.g., container images) without needing to rebuild the base PostgreSQL server image [1][3]. * Functionality: It operates similarly to the existing dynamic_library_path GUC [1][3]. When CREATE EXTENSION is called, PostgreSQL uses the paths specified in extension_control_path to locate the extension's primary .control file [4][5]. Once the primary control file is found, the associated SQL script files and secondary control files are expected to be in the same directory (or the directory specified within the control file) [6][4][5]. * Usage: It accepts a colon-separated list of absolute directory paths [4][5]. The special string $system represents the default, compiled-in PostgreSQL extension directory [4][5][1]. * Default Value: The default is '$system'. If set to an empty string, PostgreSQL continues to use the default '$system' behavior [4][5][2]. * Note on Implementation: When configuring extension_control_path to include external directories, administrators typically also need to update dynamic_library_path so that the server can correctly locate the associated shared library files (if any) [7][5][2]. When specifying paths in extension_control_path, it is important to point to the sharedir-level directory, as PostgreSQL automatically appends /extension/ to the path when searching for files [5][1].

Skip this test on PostgreSQL versions older than 18.
extension_control_path is unavailable before PostgreSQL 18. The setting is written before create_cluster starts the nodes, so PostgreSQL 15–17 can fail during startup. Add plan skip_all before create_cluster when the PostgreSQL major version is below 18.

Customers on Spock 5.0.9 or later can now add a 6.0.0 node to their cluster with zodan add_node() instead of upgrading every node first. 5.0.9 stays the floor: zodan already refuses anything older, and releases before 5.0.9 have known issues we do not want in production.
Before this change a 6.0.0 node could not join a 5.0.x cluster: zodan required the same major.minor on every node, and even with that gate removed two things broke against a 5.0.x provider.
The 6.0.0 sync worker calls spock.read_peer_progress() on the provider, which only exists in 6.0.0. Probe the provider's spock_version_num() and, below 6.0.0, read peer progress with an inline query against the 5.x spock.progress table. The resume LSN comes from pg_replication_origin_status in both paths, so its meaning is unchanged.
zodan polls the source node's spock.progress for remote_commit_lsn, which 5.x still calls remote_lsn. Pick the column name from the source node's Spock version.
Version rule in check_spock_version_compatibility: every node must be 5.0.9 or later; existing nodes must share one major.minor (patch differences allowed); the new node may run the same or a newer major.minor, never an older one, since only the newer sync worker knows how to talk to older providers.
Add tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl, which adds a current-branch node to a cluster built from an older tag or branch, optionally under pgbench load. Like 014_rolling_upgrade.pl it needs PostgreSQL 18 for extension_control_path.
Tested: 6.0.0 node added to 5.0.9, 5.0.10 and 5.0.11 clusters, idle and under load, plus an all-6.0.0 control run.
