Research direction
Start with the OpenAPI path .components.schemas["pull-request"].properties.base.sha and compare its description with the observed values in pull requests. Determine what the field represents, whether the current schema is inaccurate or incomplete, and document the behavior or its intended use. The issue is over six months old, so check for newer discussion before starting.

Description
As .components.schemas["pull-request"].properties.base.sha is undocumented I've been trying to understand its behavior, but as far as I can tell it's neither the merge-base of the PR (which would be very useful) nor is it the HEAD of the base branch (which could be useful), nor is it whatever the HEAD of the base was when the PR was created as I can see PRs where the base.sha is years more recent than the PR (as well as more recent than the last update to the PR).
