Add save confirmation modal and integrate with entry editing

- Implemented SaveConfirmationModal to prompt users for saving changes when exiting edit mode.
- Integrated modal into HostsManagerApp to handle unsaved changes.
- Added methods to validate and save entry changes, restoring original values if discarded.
- Created unit tests for SaveConfirmationModal and its integration with the main application.
- Refactored entry editing logic to track changes and confirm before exiting edit mode.

 ## Recent Changes
 
+### Phase 3 Save Confirmation Enhancement ✅ COMPLETE
+- ✅ **Save confirmation modal**: Professional modal dialog asking to save, discard, or cancel when exiting edit entry mode
+- ✅ **Change detection system**: Intelligent tracking of original entry values vs. current form values 
+- ✅ **No auto-save behavior**: Changes are only saved when explicitly confirmed by the user
+- ✅ **Graceful exit handling**: ESC key in edit entry mode now triggers save confirmation instead of auto-exiting
+- ✅ **Validation integration**: Full validation before saving with clear error messages for invalid data
+- ✅ **Comprehensive testing**: 13 new tests for save confirmation functionality (161 total tests)
+- ✅ **Modal keyboard shortcuts**: Save (S), Discard (D), Cancel (ESC) with intuitive button labels
