When you force-push to a branch with an open pull request, the PR automatically updates to reflect the new commit history. However, this can cause confusion for reviewers since their previous comments might no longer match the current code context. GitHub will mark previous reviews as outdated. It's generally considered a bad practice to force-push to branches with open PRs unless absolutely necessary.
