## Objective
Verify a crash/interruption mid-edit leaves no unsaved state persisted.

## Preconditions
- See [[PRE-DF-cp-editing-form]]
- And the user has unsaved edits in session

## Steps
1. When the session is interrupted or the app crashes before Save

## Expected Result
- Then the unsaved state is not persisted to backend
- And re-opening the form returns to the last saved state

## Source Traceability
- TSD: PK141
- Section: C1 - Unsaved Changes
- Scenario: C1.3 - Temporary state in session, no auto-save (edge case)
- Acceptance Criteria: PRD C.4 Scenario 1-6

## Evidence Required
- Backend inspection after interruption; re-open shows last saved state.

## Notes / Gaps
- No gap.
