fix(frontend): prevent memory leak in useIdempotentAction.ts (#1221) (#1293)
## Root cause `useIdempotentAction`'s `useEffect` cleanup only set `isMountedRef.current = false`. The `inFlightActions` ref (`Map<string, Promise<unknown>>`) was **never cleared on unmount**. Any Promise stored in that Map — together with the closures it captured (state setters, `isProcessingRef`, `lastExecutionTime`, etc.) — was retained in memory until the Promise settled. On high-churn routes where the hook's component mounts and unmounts frequently, these retained closures accumulate and prevent GC of the entire component subtree. ## Fix (`src/hooks/useIdempotentAction.ts`) Added `inFlightActions.current.clear()` to the `useEffect` cleanup so in-flight Promise references are released the moment the component unmounts, allowing the GC to reclaim them. ```diff return () => { isMountedRef.current = false; + inFlightActions.current.clear(); }; ``` ## Regression test (`src/hooks/__tests__/useIdempotentAction.test.ts`) New test `"regression: clears inFlightActions on unmount …"`: 1. Starts an action, leaving a Promise in `inFlightActions`. 2. Unmounts the component while the Promise is in flight. 3. Resolves the Promise after unmount — verifies no stale-state update throws. 4. Confirms a fresh hook instance executes normally, proving no lingering state. Closes #1221 Closes #1220
