[FEATURE] Export progress shows elapsed time but no estimate of time remaining #1783

Description

@magic-peach

Feature description
ExportOverlay.tsx tracks and displays elapsedMs (formatted via formatElapsed) but never computes or shows an ETA.

Problem this solves
With a percent value and elapsed time both visible, users still can't tell how much longer an export will take, which matters a lot for longer/larger exports.

Proposed solution
Basic linear extrapolation from progress/elapsedMs (estimatedRemaining = elapsedMs / progress * (100 - progress)) shown alongside elapsed time once progress is past some small threshold (to avoid a wildly inaccurate early estimate).

Alternatives considered
A more sophisticated non-linear model — probably overkill for a v1; linear extrapolation is standard and good enough here.
