Fix promise cancellation in 5 components with AbortController refs

Add AbortController refs and abort signal checks to prevent race conditions
and memory leaks when components unmount or new requests are initiated.

Components fixed:
- JailsTab.tsx: validation handler with AbortController pattern
- JailInfoSection.tsx: handle function with useCallback wrapper
- RawConfigSection.tsx: fetch handler with abort checks
- ConfFilesTab.tsx: file fetch handler with abort signal verification
- IgnoreListSection.tsx: three handlers (add, remove, toggle) with callbacks

All handlers now:
1. Abort previous requests before initiating new ones
2. Create and store new AbortController instances
3. Check abort status before state updates in .then()/.catch()
4. Include cleanup effects that abort on unmount

-## [IMPORTANT] Provider ordering fragility (Frontend)
-
-**Where found**
-
-- `frontend/src/App.tsx` — 10-level deep provider nesting
-- `frontend/src/providers/PROVIDER_ORDER.md` — documents order, no compile-time enforcement
-
-**Why this is needed**
-
-Provider order (ThemeProvider → AppContents → FluentProvider → ...) enforced only at runtime. Accidental reorder caught only after deploy.
-
-**Goal**
-
-Add compile-time validation of provider ordering.
-
-**What to do**
-
-1. Create provider composition utility enforcing order
-2. Use TypeScript discriminated unions
-3. Add ESLint rule to check provider wrapping
-
-**Possible traps and issues**
-
-- TypeScript doesn't easily enforce ordering
-- May be overkill — improve runtime error messages instead
-
-**Docs changes needed**
-
-- Update `Docs/Architekture.md` § 3.2 (Providers)
-
-**Doc references**

+### Promise Cancellation in Callbacks
+
+When performing async operations in `useCallback` (form submissions, button clicks, etc.), always check if the operation was cancelled before updating state. This prevents React warnings and memory leaks when components unmount or users navigate away.
+
+**Problem with naked `.then()` chains:**
+```tsx
+const handleSubmit = useCallback((values: FormValues) => {
+  setSaving(true);
+  saveData(values)
+    .then(() => {
+      setSaving(false);  // ❌ Updates state even if component unmounted
+      setDialogOpen(false);
+    })
+    .catch((err) => {
+      setSaving(false);  // ❌ Updates state on unmounted component
+      setError(err.message);
+    });
+}, []);
+```
+
+**Solution: Use AbortController to track and cancel operations:**
+```tsx
+const submitControllerRef = useRef<AbortController | null>(null);
+
+const handleSubmit = useCallback((values: FormValues) => {
+  // Abort any previous in-flight request
+  submitControllerRef.current?.abort();
+  const controller = new AbortController();
+  submitControllerRef.current = controller;
+
+  setSaving(true);
+  saveData(values)
+    .then(() => {
+      if (controller.signal.aborted) return;  // ✅ Check before state updates
+      setSaving(false);
+      setDialogOpen(false);
+    })
+    .catch((err) => {
+      if (controller.signal.aborted) return;  // ✅ Check before state updates
+      setSaving(false);
+      setError(err.message);
+    });
+}, []);
+
+// Clean up on unmount
+useEffect(() => {
+  return () => {
+    submitControllerRef.current?.abort();  // ✅ Abort in cleanup
+  };
+}, []);
+```
+
+**Key rules:**
+- Always create a **local `const`** variable to capture the controller — never read `ref.current` inside `.then()` callbacks (race condition risk).
+- Check `controller.signal.aborted` **in every `.then()` and `.catch()` block** before calling `setState`.
+- Abort any previous operation before starting a new one to avoid stale callbacks.
+- Clean up with a `useEffect` return function on component unmount.
