The change is clean — one sentence, properly formatted with surrounding blank lines, no typos, and it adds useful visibility information for users.

One minor suggestion (non-blocking): The pronoun "it" on line 50 is slightly ambiguous. I've left an inline suggestion to make the subject explicit. Take it or leave it.

Formatting note: The PR description calls this a "callout" but the implementation is a plain paragraph rather than a {% hint %} block. That's fine — a {% hint style="info" %} would give it more visual weight, but a plain sentence reads naturally in context here.

Review: LGTM — no blocking issues.

The change adds one sentence at line 50 of merge-queue/using-the-queue/force-merge.md:

After a PR is force-merged, it shows a Forced badge in the Merge Queue dashboard PR list so you can identify which merges bypassed branch protection.

Findings:

• No typos or grammatical errors.
• Forced is correctly bolded to match the UI label.
• Blank lines surrounding the new paragraph are correct.
• Placement between the step-by-step section and "Combining with other flags" is logical.

Minor (non-blocking): The pronoun "it" is slightly ambiguous — "it" refers back to "a PR" earlier in the sentence, which is clear enough in context, but making the subject explicit ("the PR") would be marginally cleaner. This was flagged in the previous review as a non-blocking inline suggestion and hasn't been addressed, but it's not blocking.

Review: LGTM — no blocking issues.

The latest commit (2f8b2d8) addresses the prior inline suggestion — "it" → "the PR" — making the subject explicit at line 50 of merge-queue/using-the-queue/force-merge.md:

After a PR is force-merged, the PR shows a Forced badge in the Merge Queue dashboard PR list so you can identify which merges bypassed branch protection.

Findings:

• No typos or grammatical errors.
• Forced is correctly bolded to match the UI label.
• Surrounding blank lines are correct.
• Placement between the step-by-step section and "Combining with other flags" is logical.
• Prior ambiguity flagged in earlier reviews is now resolved.

Review: LGTM — no blocking issues.

The change adds a single sentence at line 50 of merge-queue/using-the-queue/force-merge.md:

After a PR is force-merged, the PR shows a Forced badge in the Merge Queue dashboard PR list so you can identify which merges bypassed branch protection.

Findings:

• No typos or grammatical errors.
• Forced is correctly bolded to match the UI label.
• Surrounding blank lines are correct; placement between the step-by-step section and "Combining with other flags" is logical.
• Latest commit (2f8b2d8) resolved the prior inline suggestion ("it" → "the PR"), removing the only minor ambiguity flagged in earlier reviews.
• No CLAUDE.md present at the repo root, so no repo-specific guidelines to apply beyond standard docs conventions.

Review: LGTM — no blocking issues.
