AI Summary: This issue proposes adding progress logging to the `finalize_staged_data` compaction process. Currently, long-running compactions offer no visible progress, making them appear as hangs to users. The suggested solution is to log the number of processed segments and total segments (if known) periodically within the `do_compact` loop to provide users with feedback on the job's status.

AI Summary: This issue proposes significant improvements to the 'One-Click Area' feature, aiming to make it 'great' rather than just 'good'. Key areas for enhancement include better face extraction, tolerance for boundary gaps, improved confidence in area detection, and the creation of a scored benchmark corpus for testing. The current implementation struggles with dense hatch patterns, boundary gaps, and relies on rasterization for scanned plans, leading to potential inaccuracies and manual tracing.
