Research direction
Start by reproducing snapshot creation on Arch Linux aarch64 with Timeshift v25.12.4 in rsync mode, using both the GUI and terminal as described. Compare the point where estimation or listing stops with the snapshots present on disk. Done means snapshots complete successfully and are listed in both interfaces without indefinite waiting.
