Summary
Implement persistent "last save directory" feature that remembers the directory used in file save dialogs and automatically defaults to it in future save operations.
Problem
Currently, save dialogs always default to some system directory (Documents, Downloads, etc.). Users must navigate to their preferred location every single time they save a file - whether it's blackbox logs, diffs, configurations, or other exports. This is particularly frustrating when saving multiple files in a session.
