Fix long queue waits with mechanism to prevent running duplicate jobs

This PR introduces a mechanism to prevent running duplicate model merge jobs. It tracks active jobs by hashing the YAML configuration and checks if a new job matches an existing one. If a duplicate is detected, the user is prompted to either continue with the new job (canceling the old one) or abort the operation. A duplicate may be caused by a user losing connection to the Space, and the job may be stuck in queue. The next job they place may not finish because the previous job is still stuck. **They may have to wait up to 6 hours (but usually ~2-4) for the Space to restart.**

### Key Changes:
* Active Job Tracking: Jobs are tracked by their YAML configuration hash.
* Duplicate Detection: Before starting a new job, the system checks for duplicates.
* User Prompt: If a duplicate is detected, the user can choose to cancel the old job and continue with the new one.

### Why This Change is Needed:
* Prevents multiple identical merge jobs from running simultaneously, saving resources and avoiding long queues and delays.
