A COPY into a populated table aborts on the first duplicate key and leaves the sync status failed, after which apply silently discards every later change for that table. Stage the load and merge, and warn on the failure.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesTable synchronization behavior
Poem
Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The PR improves synchronization for populated tables, but an unlocked check-to-load race can still cause duplicate-key failures that wedge a table and drop later changes; unescaped resynchronization names can also break recovery for some identifiers. These issues should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Quote the resynchronization arguments.
Escape MySubscription->name with quote_literal_cstr(). Build the relation with quote_qualified_identifier(), then escape that complete value with quote_literal_cstr(). Raw names can break the hint or resolve to the wrong relation.

Remove the empty-table race from the load path.
The SELECT 1 does not lock the target table. A local transaction can insert a conflicting row after Line 1172 and before the direct COPY begins. The direct COPY then fails on that duplicate key and leaves the table in the failed synchronization state.
Stage every load, or hold a lock that prevents target writes through the direct COPY. This must cover the check and the load in one protected operation.
