PotentialSelectorDialog::chosenProperties() built an OK-only dialog
and discarded exec()'s return value entirely:
dialog.exec();
for (QRadioButton *b : H.keys()) {
if (b->isChecked()) return H.value(b);
}
return ConductorProperties();
Escape and the window close button already trigger QDialog::reject()
on a plain QDialog, but since the result was never checked, dismissing
the dialog without picking anything just silently returned blank
ConductorProperties() -- the same value returned when a real potential
was chosen but happened to produce empty properties. There was no way
to distinguish "the user cancelled" from "the user chose an empty
potential", so the caller always proceeded as if a choice had been
made.
Add a real Cancel button, check dialog.exec() == QDialog::Accepted,
and report cancellation through a new optional `bool *cancelled`
out-parameter. Also pre-select the first entry, closing a related gap
where clicking OK without ever touching a radio button hit the exact
same "silently returns blank properties" failure mode.
Thread the result through ConductorCreator::setUpPropertieToUse()
(now returning bool) so the calling constructor aborts and creates no
conductors at all when the user cancels, instead of proceeding with
blank properties.
The sibling constructor-based PotentialSelectorDialog (used for
conductor/report potential linking, a separate flow) already gates its
side effects behind on_buttonBox_accepted(), so cancelling it was
already safe -- gave it a visible Cancel button too for consistency
while touching this file, no behavior change there.
Verified with real Qt event simulation (QTest::mouseClick/keyClick)
against the exact new dialog-building logic: clicking Cancel and
pressing Escape both correctly report cancellation with empty
properties; clicking OK untouched returns the pre-selected first
entry; selecting the second option then OK returns that selection.
