Why:

Closes: n/a, no existing issue

Stacked pull requests became generally available on October 6, 2026, and auto-merge now works with stacks: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-10-06-stacked-pull-requests-generally-available/

The article still says "Auto-merge is not supported for stacked pull requests."

What's being changed:

Removes that bullet from the note in the "Merge requirements" section of content/pull-requests/how-tos/merge-and-close-pull-requests/merging-stacked-pull-requests.md.

Check off the following:

• A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
• The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
• All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the review environment.
