Okay, now since we will have double quotes for logical. So do you
prefer the existing way of giving error msg or the changed one.

Existing:
errmsg("bad configuration for slot synchronization"),
errhint("wal_level must be >= logical."));

errmsg("bad configuration for slot synchronization"),
errhint("%s must be defined.", "primary_conninfo"));

The changed one:
errmsg("slot synchronization requires wal_level >= logical"));

errmsg("slot synchronization requires %s to be defined",
                                          "primary_conninfo"));

thanks
