The Spock 6 manifest entry deliberately points at a floating/mutable image tag rather than a pinned build, so its declared postgres_version can drift out of sync with whatever Postgres minor the tag actually resolves to. That drift caused a real, live-reproduced failure: ERROR: library "spock_output" may not be used as an output plugin because output_plugin_libraries was computed from the declared version (below the gate threshold) while the real running binary was past it. Confirmed by running the TestSpock6AddNode e2e test directly against a real cluster: it failed with this exact error before the fix, and passes cleanly (twice, fresh runs) after it. Fix: treat Spock major >= 6 as always needing output_plugin_libraries, regardless of the declared Postgres minor. This is a deliberate trade-off documented in the code comment, not a fully general solution - it hasn't been verified whether setting this GUC against a hypothetical pre-gate Postgres minor is harmless. Spock 5.x behavior is unchanged.
Closes the last gap in this ticket's scope: TestSpock6AddNode existed but only ever ran as part of a normal PR-triggered test_e2e run, which only catches regressions introduced by our own commits - it never re-checks the floating spock6DevImage tag on its own, so drift introduced by an upstream Spock 6 nightly build would go unnoticed until someone happened to touch this branch. Adds a dedicated test_e2e_spock6 job (just TestSpock6AddNode, not the full e2e split) and a nightly_spock6 workflow triggered by a cron schedule against main, independent of commit activity. The e2e test itself already points at the floating tag, so no extra plumbing is needed to track "latest" beyond the schedule. Validated with `circleci config validate`.

TIP This summary will be updated as you push new changes.
The pre-existing TestCreateDbWithVersions test used log.Fatalf instead of t.Fatalf when a database's live Postgres version didn't match its declared version. log.Fatalf calls os.Exit(1), killing the whole test binary and reporting every other in-flight parallel subtest as a bare failure instead of just the one mismatch — this was failing ci/circleci: test_e2e on PR #457. The Spock 6 dev manifest entry points at a floating image tag whose resolved Postgres minor can drift past its declared version at any time, so an exact-match check is fundamentally incompatible with it. Switch to t.Fatalf so a mismatch fails only its own subtest, and relax the version check to major-only specifically for Spock >= 6 entries; pinned Spock 5.x entries keep the exact-match check. Also update the needsOutputPluginLibraries doc comment to record that setting output_plugin_libraries on a Postgres minor that predates the gate is confirmed to hard-fail startup (unrecognizedonfiguration parameter), not silently no-op — resolving what was previously an open question in that comment.

Preserve failed Spock 6 E2E environments.
Add the standard -debug/E2E_DEBUG=1 handling to the test and its dedicated CircleCI job. The job already archives ./e2e/debug, but without enabling debug mode the failed database fixture will not be preserved for diagnosis.

test_e2e_spock6 archives ./e2e/debug on failure, but never set E2E_DEBUG=1, so the fixture never actually wrote anything there for the archive step to pick up. The existing test_e2e job already sets this; test_e2e_spock6 just missed it. PLAT-718

Summary
This adds the foundational Control Plane support for Spock 6 clusters (PLAT-718). While verifying it, I also found and fixed three real bugs that weren't part of the original ticket, including one that was actually failing CI on this PR.
Changes
6.0.0-beta.1) inds/versions.go.spock.progressqueries use the right column depending on version (remote_lsnon 5.x,remote_commit_lsnon 6.x).VerifySubscriptionReplicatingResource, which checks that a newly enabled subscription actually starts replicating, and fails loudly if it doesn't.EnablePeerSubscriptions. This was a long standing bug, unrelated to Spock 6, where peer subscriptions could get stuck permanently disabled when adding a node to a database that already had 3 or more nodes.e2e/spock6_add_node_test.go, an automated test that adds a node to a real Spock 6 cluster, plus a nightly CircleCI job so this keeps getting tested even if nobody touches the branch.ReplicationSlotNameand inlines it, same cleanup as PLAT-717 (this branch had cherry-picked the version from before that cleanup happened).output_plugin_librariesnot includingspock_outputfor the Spock 6 dev image. The check was based on the Postgres version we declared, but the Spock 6 image uses a floating tag that can quietly resolve to a newer Postgres minor than what we declared. Now any Spock 6 build always gets the allow list, regardless of the declared Postgres version.TestCreateDbWithVersions, that was crashing its entire test run when it hit that same version mismatch. It usedlog.Fatalfinstead oft.Fatalf, which kills the whole test process instead of just failing the one subtest, so every other test running in parallel got reported as failed too. Switched it tot.Fatalfand made the version check only compare the major version for Spock 6 entries, since pinned Spock 5.x checks still need to match exactly.Testing

Notes for Reviewers
While testing the subscription enablement failure case, I found a separate issue worth flagging. There's a resource called
WaitForSyncEventResourcethat runs beforeVerifySubscriptionReplicatingResourcein the same pipeline. It's pre-existing and not part of this PR. If a subscription stays disabled or down, this resource treats that as temporary and just keeps waiting forever, with no internal timeout, instead of failing with a clear error likeVerifySubscriptionReplicatingResourcedoes. So if a subscription's apply worker genuinely never starts, the task can hang indefinitely instead of failing loudly. This doesn't block this PR, but it's probably worth its own follow-up ticket.Also worth knowing: the
output_plugin_librariesfix always says yes for any Spock 6 build, rather than tracking the exact Postgres minor. That's a deliberate tradeoff since the manifest entry points at a floating tag we can't pin down ahead of time. I confirmed live that setting this on a Postgres minor below the gate is not harmless, Postgres actually rejects it with "unrecognized configuration parameter." If Spock 6 ever ships on a minor below the gate, this will need a second look.
