@Mithrandir24601 ehi there. Sorry to bother, I'm just trying to make sense of the closing system here.

Consider https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/17064. This was closed as not focused. On the question's page it says it was closed by " met927, glS, rjh324, user1271772, forky40". However, going in the question's timeline (https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/posts/17064/timeline), the only accessible close-vote is [this one](https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/review/close/7422), which appears as "invalidated" in the timeline.
Do you have any idea what this means? The first vote-to-close vote was invalidated for some reason, and then another started (though it doesn't appear the corresponding history is accessible?) and ended up with a closing; but in this latter vote the same two users which voted in the first one also appear. How the hell does this work?
also, the only two users which appear to have actually voted, as given in the close-votes history (quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/review/close/history), are the ones in the first (invalidated?) vote. The other users, e.g. met927, doesn't appear to have voted there
mmh ok maybe I figured it out. Anyone who votes to close from the question's page doesn't appear in the close review history. So the events are:
1) I voted to close from the question's page; this added the question to the review queue;
2) two users voted to close from the queue;
3) met972 edited the question; this "invalidated" the vote, removing the question from the queue; they nonetheless also voted to close from the question's page;
4) a fifth user voted to close from the question's page, and the question got closed.
