Research direction

The issue is in the JavaScript transform dialog of the Hop GUI. Look for the dialog's UI code, likely in the transforms module under the GUI package. Check the cancel button's event handler to see why it triggers a change detection. Run the GUI, open the dialog, and cancel to reproduce. Verify the fix by ensuring no warning appears when no edits were made.
