docs: reword review-prs stale-base rationale to be rate-free

The "most diffs sit on stale bases" claim was a one-time artifact of

which may have changed since, while keeping conflict-to-Merge-arm
routing.

A screened-out PR goes straight to step 4 as a close, with the rule it broke as its reason.
Resolve each survivor's target use case against the current README, since most diffs sit on stale bases and their context lines show sections that no longer exist. A merge conflict is a symptom of that stale base — it rides to the Merge arm, which absorbs it. Done when every surviving PR names its target use case.
