[This test on roachdash](https://roachdash.crdb.dev/?filter=status:open%20t:.*TestTxnModeSmoketest.*&sort=title+created&display=lastcommented+project) | [Improve this report!](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/tree/master/pkg/cmd/bazci/githubpost/issues)

Start with crosscluster/logical/txnmode.TestTxnModeSmoketest and open the linked invocation, including the captured outputs.zip logs. Read test_server_shim.go and utils.go around the shared virtual cluster and logical replication wait messages. Done means identifying the cause of the stalled replication wait and getting the test to complete successfully.
