If you want a better server-side solution, you could try employing mandatory idempotency tokens in the request payload. The concept is simple: either have the server give the client an idempotency token as part of the page load, or have the client request one at some point, or have it be something that can be generated on the client side (nonce style) and send it with the request. The server can then validate, using…

My person pet peeve jargon is people who use surface in sentences like "what ideas does this surface?" Unless you're a submarine, surface isn't a verb!
