Description
Summary
When adding multiple new topics in the edit modal, if you click "ADD NEW TOPIC" after filling out another topic's title, sometimes a big red message flashes for ~ 1 second, saying that the topic is invalid. Once the new topic is created, the message goes away.

This appears to be potentially related to how the saveNode method of DetailsTabView is being used, as it has a debounce time that's about the same as the amount of time that validation message flashes.

This is mostly just distracting and confusing, but it's not a blocker.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the edit modal while adding multiple new topics, then inspect saveNode in contentcuration/contentcuration/frontend/channelEdit/components/edit/DetailsTabView.vue, especially its debounce timing. Confirm the validation message appears during the reported interaction and is absent once the new topic is created, without describing the topic as invalid during the delay.
