Motivation

  • The previous README wording about retargeting stacked PRs was jargon-heavy and could be confusing about which PRs get their base updated after a squash merge.
  • The intent is to convey that only the direct child of the landed PR is retargeted to trunk while indirect descendants remain based on their parent.

Description

  • Reworded the explanation in README.md for step 5 to state plainly that direct child PRs are rebased onto trunk after the bottom change lands and higher PRs keep their parent.
  • This is a documentation-only change and does not modify any script logic such as update-pr-stack.sh or gh pr edit --base usage.

Testing

  • No automated tests were run because this change only updates documentation.
  • The repository was updated and the change was committed successfully to the branch.
