When useJailConfigs performs a background refresh, it may deliver an updated
JailConfig object for an already-selected jail. Previously, JailConfigDetail
would continue displaying stale locally-edited form values because the component
only re-initialized on jail name changes (via the key prop), not on object
identity changes.
Added a useEffect that detects when the jail prop reference has changed
(indicating a server refresh) and automatically resets all form fields to the
new server state, but only if autoSave is idle and has no pending changes.
This prevents accidentally overwriting external changes when the user saves,
while still letting users continue editing unsaved changes without interruption.
The implementation:
- Tracks the last-synced jail object in a ref
- Compares incoming jail reference to detect server updates
- Checks autoSave status to ensure no pending saves
- Verifies that current form state matches the old jail values
- Resets all 20+ form fields when conditions are met
