…#2108) After transcription, several minutes of backend work could produce no SSE bytes, causing the desktop webview to close the idle connection while the job continued and eventually completed. This also led to a misleading reverse-proxy error on local connections. - dub_core: keep post-transcript awaits alive with `_ping_while` (5s pings) - dub_export: send SSE comments after 15s of stream silence - backendCrash.ts: show deployment-aware connection-loss guidance - Add regression tests for post-transcript pings, task-stream keepalive, and local-mode error messaging Fixes debpalash#2108

 The PR appears safe to merge with no outstanding correctness, security, or repository-rule violations. SummaryKeeps dubbing and general task SSE connections active during byte-silent processing, coordinates ASR cleanup with native work, and provides deployment-specific stream-disconnection guidance.

`_ping_while` runs awaited work as its own task, so a client disconnect previously cancelled only the ping loop. Reference-text refinement could continue running while `run_transcribe_guarded` skipped its abandon path and the stream finalizer unloaded the ASR model underneath it. Cancel unfinished work on early exit, matching the cancellation behavior of the bare `await` it replaced. Do not await it in `finally`, which can also run under `GeneratorExit`. - **dub_core**: `_ping_while` cancels an unfinished future in `finally`, covering all seven call sites - **test**: verify that `_ping_while` cancels work on `aclose()` while leaving completed work untouched (fail-before / pass-after) - **CHANGELOG**: add a Highlights entry for the user-visible fix; keep Fixed entries under `### Fixed` per `CLAUDE.md` Addresses Greptile P1/P2 on debpalash#2138
- _ping_while retrieves failures that occur after the consumer disconnects, preventing "exception was never retrieved" at GC; the early-exit test covers this case - stream_cut_backend_alive_local now builds the Settings → Logs → Backend path from each locale's actual UI labels (`settings.title`, `settings.logs`, `common.backend`) - Fix incorrect section names in 15 locales, including ru, de, and zh-TW Addresses CodeRabbit review on debpalash#2138

During the ~19-minute refinement stage, the UI remains at "Transcribing… 100%" with no visible progress. A dedicated stage/progress event for reference-text refinement would make this work visible.
The PR keeps SSE connections alive during long transcription and quiet task-stream work. It adds deployment-aware localized messages and coordinates cleanup after disconnects to prevent premature model unloads. Regression tests cover these paths; test execution results were not supplied.
