Quick Answer
AJAX race conditions: abort previous request when a new one starts (store jqXHR reference, call .abort()). Use a request sequence number - increment per request, only process the response if it matches the latest sequence. Disable the trigger (button/input) while a request is in-flight. These patterns prevent stale responses overwriting fresh ones.
