Walkthrough

The journal entry form now blocks concurrent submissions and tracks submission state. It generates and reuses an idempotency key for journal-entry creation. Request and navigation failures reset the state and trigger change detection.

Changes

Journal entry submission

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Submission state and duplicate-request guard src/app/accounting/create-journal-entry/create-journal-entry.component.ts, src/app/accounting/create-journal-entry/create-journal-entry.component.html	CreateJournalEntryComponent tracks isSubmitting, rejects invalid or active submissions, triggers change detection, and disables the submit button during submission.
Idempotent request and result handling src/app/accounting/accounting.service.ts, src/app/accounting/create-journal-entry/create-journal-entry.component.ts	createJournalEntry accepts an optional idempotency key and sends it as the Idempotency-Key header. The component reuses the key, clears it after success, and resets submission state after request or navigation failures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a490c

The submit flow prevents normal double-click duplicates, but a failed navigation can still unlock the form after the journal entry is created and allow a retry to create another entry. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up to retain the idempotency key until navigation succeeds.
