Warn, don't block
A repeat or unusual entry gets a warning line and is still allowed.

NameDetail
check_boxwarningAlready requested on a date and still pending
The warning sits under the item; the main button stays on.
Rules
- Warn when the entry is allowed but likely a mistake; block only when it is not allowed.
- The line says what is unusual, with the date or value that makes it so.
- Amber line, never red.
