distrobox refuses to clone a running container, and BoxBuddy got round that by stopping the box behind the user's back before `create --clone`. The row is now greyed out while the box is up, the same way Delete Box is, and comes back once it is stopped - the Stop button sits right above it. The defensive stop in clone_box stays as a safety net for a box that comes up between the render and the click.
