The added section (merge-queue/using-the-queue/force-merge.md, lines 87–89) looks good overall. No typos or grammatical issues. A minor observation:

Minor (non-blocking): Terminology inconsistency

The section heading uses "queue dashboard" while the body uses "merge queue PR list" — these refer to the same UI surface but with different names.

### Visibility in the queue dashboard
Force-merged pull requests appear with a **Forced** badge in the merge queue PR list.

Consider aligning them — either both "queue dashboard" or both "merge queue PR list". For example:

Force-merged pull requests appear with a Forced badge in the queue dashboard PR list.

Or update the heading to match the body:

Visibility in the merge queue PR list

This is a minor style nit and does not block the PR.

---

Summary: The section is concise, well-placed (before "Next steps"), and correctly formatted with ### heading and **Forced** bold for the UI badge — consistent with the rest of the document. No blocking issues.
