StackSync: GitHub PR Stack Harmony

StackSync addresses the frustration developers face when squashed PRs break the ancestry chain for subsequent stacked PRs, causing merge conflicts and manual rebase headaches. By automatically detecting and correcting ancestor relationships, it keeps GitHub PR stacks consistent and lets teams push changes without manual conflict resolution.

Comment on: GitHub Stacked PRs

Conflicts spawn most likely because PR A was squashed, and once you squash Git doesn't know that PR B's ancestors commits are the same thing as the squashed commit on main.No idea if this feature fixes this.Edit: Hopefully `gh stack sync` does the rebasing correctly (rebase --onto with the PR A's last commit as base)
