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 state can report OPEN and 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_queue followed by merged) is the authoritative discriminator. Also notes isInMergeQueue/mergeQueueEntry are GraphQL-only, not gh pr view --json fields.

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.

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

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

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.
