fix(web): a draft closed mid machine switch no longer rewrites that draft

[juliusmarminge]

If a draft view closed while switching machines was still opening a scratch project, the switch finished anyway and rewrote that draft's machine and project.

#20418 replaced the effect cleanup that dropped the in-flight request with a check that the scope still matches. After an unmount the scope never changes, so the check kept passing. A layout effect keyed on the draft and project scope now abandons the request when the scope changes or the view unmounts.

Found by Macroscope's review of #20418.

In a narrow scope-change scenario, returning to the previous draft can leave its composer disabled as “Preparing machine.” This is a localized workflow issue that should be fixed before merging.
