Some PRs got added to the checklist but aren't in staging yet. Examples:

• #46949: Fix Results, Loading and Empty state Search pages #47164
• Optimize isPendingRemove function #47228

I'm removing them from the checklist and I'll add them here - I also brought this up in Slack here

Update: Now it's looking like those PRs might actually be in staging even though they're not in the staging branch? So I added them back to the checklist

Checking off #47159 b/c it was somehow checked off in the previous checklist & now the root cause PR (#42302) is in Prod 😅
