Description
Example: https://github.com/istio/istio/pull/15129
is this intended behavior? It seems maybe a race condition where it sees it is closed and goes to delete the branch, but by then it is already open

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction
Start with the linked Istio pull request #15129 and the attached screenshot, then trace how Mergify handles a pull request that is closed and reopened. Confirm whether the repeated closure and branch deletion occur during a state race; done means reopening the pull request no longer causes Mergify to continually close it.
