While an export runs in the background (Background Export), a dialog shows
what is being exported and how far it has got: artboard by artboard for a
raster export of several artboards, busy otherwise. Cancel (also Esc) stops
it and writes no file; Continue in Background leaves it to the status bar.
It opens after 0.4 s and never over another dialog.
Built on the shared vectorcraft_doc::cancel (#2546): fileio::progress::Progress
wraps its CancelToken and a progress sink, so a cancelled export stops
drawing and keeps no half-drawn pattern tile or effect raster.
- ui: background jobs carry their Progress; export_progress draws the
dialog; UI commands file.cancelExport and file.exportInBackground.
- i18n: the strings in every language with complete menus, Danish, Dutch
and Indonesian included; "{n} more exports waiting" is a plural (trn).
- docs: ui-parity, gaps (G12) and ROADMAP rows.

Copy and Cut made the system clipboard's formats in the frame that ran
them. The formats include the SVG markup and a PNG of the selection at
1 px per pt, up to 4,096 px a side. In a release build on Windows, Copy
of 50,002 rectangles on a 1600 x 1200 pt page took 1.00 s in its frame.
The thread that writes background saves and exports now makes the
formats from a copy of the clipboard, and the app writes them in a
later frame. The same Copy takes 0.18 s in its frame, and the SVG and
PNG are the same bytes. While that thread has a save, an export, a print or
a recovery copy to finish, Copy and Cut make and write the formats at
once. A later Copy or Cut, or text copied in a field or with the Type
tool, drops formats that are not written yet. Until they are written,
Paste on the canvas takes the internal clipboard, and while a text
field or the Type tool has the keyboard the app waits for them.

- With Preferences > File Handling > Enable Background Save / Export on, File >
Save, Save As, Save a Copy and exports encode and write a snapshot of the
document on a worker thread; the call returns at once ({path, background}).
- The status bar shows a spinner and what is being written; ui.inspect lists
the running jobs under `background`.
- The document takes the path and counts as saved as of the snapshot once the
file is written: edits made meanwhile keep it modified.
- Quit and Close wait for running saves; the Save Changes dialog saves at once.
- The host gives a thread-safe writer (Services::write_shared, atomic on the
desktop); without one (web, tests) everything runs at once as before.
