Resolve it with the same `forge_resolve` stub. There is no `$PWD` tier: the repo under review is author-controlled. The staging PR is not a finding fix, so `FINDING_LINEAGE=none`.
 
 **Cross-PR re-flag** <!-- Added: forge#3641 -->: the 7B.6 gates run first, so re-flag counts cover only findings that survived them. A finding that a bundle member PR's review already posted, or that a member PR's `FORGE:NOTE_DISPOSITION` list recorded, is not filed or noted again. The fence builds a prior-findings TSV (file, line-start, line-end, title, prior-disposition, issue#) from each member PR in `ALL_PR_NUMBERS`, reading every comment through `scripts/trusted-comments.sh` (never an untrusted author), and passes it to the classifier as `--prior-findings`. A finding re-flags a row when it is the same file AND (line IoU >= 0.6 AND >= 1 shared non-stopword title token, OR >= 3 shared title tokens of which >= 2 are non-stopword; generic stopwords never count as topical similarity); the classifier answers `NOTE reflag-filed #N` (the prior issue is still open) or `NOTE reflag-note`, never a new ISSUE. HIGH/CRITICAL are never demoted (they keep blocking via §7B), and a row whose linked issue is closed is ignored so a regressed defect is classified normally. Reviewer-body rows whose issue linkage fails are passed as `unknown` (recorded NOTE_DISPOSITION rows as `note`); an `unknown` row never demotes a MEDIUM CONFIRMED/LIKELY re-flag. Re-flag NOTEs are listed with the other NOTEs and counted in `notes_reflag` only. An unreadable member PR only shrinks the TSV; it never blocks.

 Derive both `CODE_BRANCH` and `MILESTONE_FLAG` from the reviewed PR before creating any findings. Unlike `commands/review-pr.md` (feature-lane PRs with short-lived HEAD branches that get deleted post-merge — see the rationale comment on that spec's finding template), `review-pr-staging.md` reviews long-lived branches (`staging`, `milestone/*`) that persist after merge, so `CODE_BRANCH` uses `headRefName` (the PR's HEAD — the branch actually being reviewed), consistent with forge#1391's original fix. This replaces the previous hardcoded `staging` literal, which was silently wrong whenever this spec reviewed a `milestone/X → staging` PR instead of a `staging → main` PR — `CODE_BRANCH` used to always say `staging` even when the reviewed branch was `milestone/X`.
