If the current worker is tablesync or parallel_apply, it should have
exited from the above check of retention_active as we get the leader's
oldest_nonremovable_xid to decide that. What am, I missing? This made
me wonder whether we need to use slot's xmin after we have fetched
leader's oldest_nonremovable_xid to find deleted tuple?

AFAICS, this is not adhered in the code because you are using it when
there is no activity aka when new_xid_found is false. IS the comment
wrong or code needs some updation?

Can't we combine it with calculation of max_interval few lines above
this change? And also adjust comments atop
adjust_xid_advance_interval() accordingly?

I think this code can look neat if you have one condition per line.
Apart from above comments, I have tried to improve some code comments
in the attached.
