Description

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I have used cherry_picker --continue I inevitably lose the title and description I would have ended up with had there not been any merge conflict. Not sure if there's any way to prevent that or to output what the message would have been so I can copy-and-paste it into the eventual PR?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the cherry_picker --continue workflow with a merge conflict, then trace how the continuation constructs the eventual PR message. Done means the title and description are preserved or exposed for copying after continuation; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
