This can happen notably when the user does not call ZoneEnd.
I used 256 arbitrarily as it seemed higher values would just make the UI freeze anyway due to perf reasons.
I added a warning in the notification area so that users can locate it.
Many of the zones would have a negative running time due to a missing `cs->IsEndValid()` check.
This could end reporting context switches before the zone start, due to `cs->End()` returning -1.
This happened when systrace dropped event, or when using Fibers and `TracyFiberEnter` is called on the new thread once the fiber has been scheduled. (The manual actually does not really hint this is wrong, we should probably fix the manual or the server code.)
In both cases, we assume runtime to be 0 for that context switch. Since we have no actual information. Both options (counting full runtime or no runtime) are wrong, and most of the code handling `!cs->IsEndValid()` uses `Start` instead so that's what I did. This is still a net improvement over displaying negative values. If we want to change this handling, we'd need to review the other places that do `it->IsEndValid() ? it->End() : it->Start()` as well.
It also seems two different concepts were being mixed:
1. Do we have any context switch data at all ? (`it != ctx->v.end()` ie `count != 0`)
2. Do we have complete data for the last context switch (`eit != ctx->v.end()`)
This led to some places of the code not displaying or counting running time at all, notably when hovering a zone.
I think most of the time we wanted 1, as it reports correctly and assumes the last context switch is still running, which is a fair assumption if we didn't see one putting the thread to sleep.
I also fixed a case where we were overcounting runtime when range start was during a sleep.
- save_worker binding: wraps Worker::Write under
Worker::ObtainLockForMainThread() so live instances yield their
receive thread cooperatively for the save's duration — the same
pattern View::Save uses in the GUI.
- save_trace MCP tool: defaults to async_mode=True for multi-GB
traces; reuses the existing Task/executor machinery so callers
poll via the task tool. Path resolution mirrors load_capture.
- manual/tracy.tex: add save_trace bullet to the MCP tool list.

Cache is shared between image names and source file names, because the
underlying StringIdx storage makes indices unique. Both name sets should
be completely separate, but if you have conflicts here, you have much
more pressing problems to solve.
In terms of how much BuildFrameGraph execution time was spent in
IsFrameExternal:
1. no cache: 67%
2. global + shared_mutex: 84%
3. global + mutex: 80%
4. local: 41% (this commit)
