Adds a navigation-aware request cancellation mechanism that automatically
aborts all route-specific API requests when the user navigates to a
different route. This prevents silent state-update errors from responses
arriving after component unmount and conserves bandwidth by cancelling
now-irrelevant requests.
Key additions:
- NavigationCancellationContext: Context for managing route-specific signals
- NavigationCancellationProvider: Provider that detects route changes and
aborts all signals from the previous route
- useNavigationAbortSignal hook: Allows components to subscribe to
navigation-aware cancellation signals
- Comprehensive tests for the cancellation lifecycle
- Documentation in Web-Development.md for request lifecycle policy
The provider is placed in the app hierarchy between BrowserRouter and
AuthProvider, ensuring consistent cancellation behavior across all routes.
Long-lived background tasks (polling, session validation) can opt-out by
managing their own AbortController lifecycle.
Closes#23 from Tasks.md: No global cancellation policy on route transitions
