NOT VERIFIED: the changed open+providerMerge transitional state.
A read-only search of 600 open git.cafe PR details found no non-null providerMerge.
The 30 newest GitHub-merged PRs had already synced to state=merged.
Therefore the original bug was not reproduced on main and the specific fix was not demonstrated live.
No merges, mocks, fixture responses, source changes, or pushes were used.
