Subject: [PATCH] feat(scanner): add auto-scan cadence with pause/resume
 controls

- Add periodic auto-capture loop for uninterrupted scanner workflow
- Start auto-scan after camera init and stop cleanly on dispose
- Gate scans by busy/camera-ready state to avoid overlapping captures
- Add AUTO ON/OFF toggle in scanner status bar
- Keep manual capture path available as fallback
