Thanks. Description of confirmed_flush_lsn is "The address (LSN) up to
which the logical slot's consumer has confirmed receiving data. Data
older than this is not available anymore. NULL for physical slots."
The second sentence is misleading. AFAIU, it really should be "Data
corresponding to the transactions committed before this LSN is not
available anymore". WAL before restart_lsn is likely to be removed but
WAL with LSN higher than restart_lsn is preserved. This correction
makes more sense because of the third sentence.
