Description

After using stack-pr submit from one machine, I need to resume development work on a different machine now.

What is the best way to do this?

Do I need to git checkout each remote branch for each PR in the stack, so they are all available locally on my new machine? Even after doing that, will stack-pr have sufficient metadata to operate on this new stack (my understanding is all the metadata is in the commit history, so it should work)?

Research direction

Start with the stack-pr submit workflow and trace how a stack is discovered after work moves to another machine. Check how remote branches and commit-history metadata are used, then document the required setup and verify it against the normal stacked-PR workflow. Done means a newcomer can resume development without guessing which branches or metadata to restore.
