Code Review
This pull request updates the documentation for the git workflow to include instructions on verifying 'dropped' merge queue entries using the GitHub API issue timeline. The reviewer provided a suggestion to improve the efficiency and safety of the jq command used in the documentation by using optional chaining and the IN function.
Important

…rming gh pr view state and the queue listing lag for minutes after a queue merge — the stale read looks identical to a silent drop. The issue timeline (removed_from_merge_queue followed by merged) is authoritative. Also notes that queue membership is GraphQL-only, not a gh pr view --json field.

What
Adds a paragraph + recipe to the Recovery when armed too early section of
references/pull-request-workflow.md: right after a queue merge,gh pr view --json statecan reportOPENand the queue listing can show the entry gone for several minutes — indistinguishable from the documented silent-drop failure mode, except the PR already merged. The issue timeline (removed_from_merge_queuefollowed bymerged) is the authoritative discriminator. Also notesisInMergeQueue/mergeQueueEntryare GraphQL-only, notgh pr view --jsonfields.Why
Live case (netresearch/t3x-nr-llm PR #403, 2026-07-16): the stale read showed OPEN + empty queue while the timeline showed the merge had completed a minute earlier — the current guidance would have re-armed an already-merged PR.
