Description

Pressing Escape while in the editor navigates back to dashboard without prompting the user about unsaved changes. This can lead to data loss.

Current behavior

if (e.key === 'Escape' && window.app.state.view === 'editor') {
  window.app.navigate('dashboard');
}

Expected behavior

Should check hasChanges flag and prompt user before navigating away.

Recommendation

Modify the Escape handler to call handleCancel() which already has the unsaved changes check logic.
