I still haven't found a reliable way to prevent merging branches that aren't the first in the stack :/

(Graphite engineer) We had the same problem. Coded in a feature that prevents you from casually merging branches that are not bottom of the stack :)

What I usually do is if I need to stack more PRs I open them as a draft to avoid accidental merges. I then convert each PR to a non-draft as I “pop” the stack.
