Research direction

Start at the DesktopUI entry point that handles the Forget action and inspect how other destructive actions present confirmation. Done means pressing Forget opens a confirmation dialog, while confirming performs the existing action and cancelling leaves the network unchanged; manually test both paths.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A colleague recently misclicked Forget when disconnecting/reconnecting (as part of some trouble shooting), and ended up forgetting a network unintentionally.

It would be a nice improvement if e.g., a dialog showed up when you pressed Forget, to confirm that was the intended action (particularly as ZeroTier network IDs are not "memorable").
