Research direction

Start by locating the deck flow that checks whether a presentation can be closed without saving, then trace how its current diffing determines saved state. Reproduce a false positive and establish a comparison that distinguishes unchanged and unsaved decks; done means closing an unchanged deck no longer warns while actual changes still do.
