A failed link call leaves the target stack's membership partially mutated

Inizia con il comando gh stack link e riproduci il fallimento seguendo i passaggi di questa issue, quindi esamina le chiamate che influiscono sull’appartenenza a repos/{owner}/{repo}/stacks/{id}. Traccia il modo in cui un tentativo fallito di creazione di una PR gestisce le modifiche all’appartenenza precedenti e successive. Il lavoro è completato quando un link fallito conserva l’appartenenza originale a pull_requests oppure segnala chiaramente ogni modifica parziale, con verifica rispetto all’API.

Summary

When gh stack link fails partway through (see #373 for one way to trigger this), the stack's membership on GitHub is left altered rather than restored — PRs that were part of the stack before the failed call are silently dropped from it, with no rollback and no mention of this in the command's error output.

Repro

1. Build a stack main <- a <- b <- c <- d <- e via gh stack link. Confirm via gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/stacks/{id} that all 5 PRs are listed under pull_requests.
2. Merge a and b. Close c without merging.
3. Run gh stack link a b c d e --base main to fix d's base (see #373) — it fails while trying to create a duplicate PR for a.
4. Re-check the stack's membership: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/stacks/{id} --jq '.pull_requests[].number'.

Actual

Before step 3, the stack listed all 5 PRs. After the failed link call in step 3, the stack's pull_requests field lists only the merged PRs (a, b) — c, d, and e are gone from the stack entirely, even though d and e were never touched by the failed create attempt (only the lookup step "found" them, per #373's output).

This is also visible in the GitHub UI: PRs that previously showed a "Part of a stack" banner no longer show it at all.

I did not attempt to trigger this deliberately — it was an unwanted side effect discovered while working around #373 and #372.

Expected

Either:

• The whole link operation should be atomic: a failure partway through (e.g. an individual PR-creation error) should not leave the stack's membership altered from before the call, or
• If partial application is intentional/unavoidable, the command should clearly report which stack-membership changes actually took effect before it errored out, so the caller can reconcile the difference instead of discovering it later via the API or UI.

Environment

gh-stack version 0.0.8, installed via gh extension install github/gh-stack.
