Adds File-menu actions to export the canvas (entire flow, current scope, or rubber-band selection) as a high-resolution PNG or self-contained SVG for embedding in design docs, tickets, and chats. The renderer reuses the existing screenToImage primitive to handle all three screen content types (raw image, SVG, wireframe) and draws connection bezier curves, sticky notes, and screen-group rectangles without pulling in a DOM-capture dependency. Selection priority: multi-select > scope root > entire canvas. PNG renders at 2x pixel ratio with a 16384px safety cap.
