There was a problem hiding this comment.
FYI, --force-with-lease can be flaky when there's a race with multiple pushes to the remote. It's not very well documented, but I've hit this issue elsewhere. I'll just leave this link for the future explorers in case somebody hits similar issues: sanitizers/patchback-github-app#18.
