inProgress is set to false and then never changed. Should it be removed or is there a bug where somewhere it should be set to true but it's not?

Research direction
Start with scripts/attempt-backport.js and trace every use of inProgress and the backport flow around it. Determine whether the flag is intended to change during execution or is dead state; done means either removing it cleanly or restoring the missing state transition, with the script's existing behavior preserved.
