Research direction

Reproduce the freeze in CompactGUI after space calculation and after compaction when the saved-space result loads. Start by tracing the GUI flow for those two stages and compare behavior with the latest update. Done means the compacting workflow no longer hangs and the saved-space result displays successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

every time after it tries to calculate the space it will save it freezes or when it finishes compacting it will show the space it saved when that loads it will hang.
