feat: scan export queuing and threshold default 0.50 in UI

Queue scan exports back-to-back: when an export is running, new
batches are queued and drain automatically on completion. Each batch
snapshots its state (file path, jobs, settings) so the user can
switch videos while exports run.

Also updates ScanWorker default and slider initial value to 0.50
to match the core threshold change.
