Ignore superseded transcript requests, mate.

Each click starts an independent fetch through transcriptService.getTranscriptById. An older request can settle after a newer request. Its success, failure, and finally handlers can then replace the newer transcript, error message, or loading state. The newer selectedDebate itself remains selected, but the displayed transcript and status can belong to an older debate. Track a request ID in a ref and apply these updates only when the request is still current.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

In `@frontend/src/Pages/Profile.tsx` at line 263, Update the transcript-loading
flow around transcriptService.getTranscriptById to track the latest request with
a ref, and only apply success, failure, loading, and setFullTranscript updates
when that request is still current. Ensure older requests cannot overwrite the
transcript, error state, or loading status for the newest selectedDebate.
