## What's new

Opening Edit Walk no longer freezes the browser. The joint-leader control was rebuilding its selection on every screen update, which looped forever. Selection is now based on stable member ids and a fixed options list, so the page stays responsive when you open a walk for editing.

## At a glance

- Edit Walk opens and stays responsive with joint leaders
- Selecting or clearing leaders still works without hanging the page
- Joint leaders can still be chosen; the first remains the primary contact
