Section 46.2.2 has this: Note: PostgreSQL also has streaming replication slots (see Section 25.2.5), but they are used somewhat differently there.
Section 25.2.5 has this: You can avoid this by setting wal_keep_segments to a value large enough to ensure that WAL segments are not recycled too early, or by configuring a replication slot for the standby. ... however, absolutely nowhere is it explained how to configure a replication slot for a streaming replica.
