PostgreSQL: Weekly Recap - Code Hygiene and Quiet Bug Fixes
This week's activity was all direct commits, no pull requests, focused on cleaning up internal code conventions and fixing a handful of correctness bugs in replication, statistics import, and process tracking. The main pattern is maintenance work that reduces future patch friction rather than new features.

This is the PostgreSQL Weekly Recap for July sixth through July thirteenth.
Zero pull request activity items, thirty additional commits this week. No new features on the surface, but a clear housekeeping push underneath.
The strongest thread this week is code convention cleanup, aimed at making future patches easier to write and review. Tomas Vondra's commit renames the long-winded "always inline" attribute macro to something shorter, explicitly to stop the code formatter from twisting code into awkward shapes. That change was…
Second theme: quiet correctness fixes in specialized areas. Etsuro Fujita removed a dependency on SPI from postgres foreign data wrapper's statistics import path, fixing a real bug where a concurrently renamed schema could throw a "schema does not exist" error mid-import. That fix included new OID-based interface…
Third theme: logging and publication correctness. Jim Jones and Fujii Masao improved how log statement max length truncates prepared statement text in the DETAIL message, so large prepared queries can no longer bypass the configured limit, and truncated output now gets an ellipsis so it's obvious when logs are cut…
