GitHub releases stacked pull requests for public preview

Short summary

GitHub launched public preview of stacked pull requests on July 30, letting developers break massive changes into sequential chains of smaller, dependent PRs for more efficient review. The feature requires the gh stack CLI extension and integrates with existing branch protection rules. The move responds to growing code volume from AI-assisted coding tools, providing structured review processes to maintain quality at scale.
