The renderer lays every slide background over white (as PowerPoint does),
so a PNG export was always opaque. A new transparentBackground option leaves
the slide background out (both the white underlay and the background fill),
so only what is on the slide is drawn over transparency. Shapes filled with
the background (useBgFill) still show it.
- render: RenderOpts::transparent_background
- engine: file.export {transparentBackground} (PNG only; other formats
refuse it and write nothing), file.render {transparentBackground}
- UI: Transparent background checkbox in the Export dialog (PNG) and in
File > Export > Change File Type > PNG; the web download honours it
- CLI: render --transparent
The Export dialog's GIF choice runs through SlideApp::export_as (desktop and web download),
.gif is a writable output extension for convert/run, and the CLI help pages describe GIF output
and --export-params. A file.export `slides` range string ("1-3,5") works for GIF as for PDF.

file.export's slide range and transition.sound's keys parse as parameters, and the subcommands
main added since #303 have their own help page.

A --cmd without a value now asks for COMMAND[=PARAMS]. The params field
says how describe reads it, table.split's row and col are optional as
the command reads them, and the MCP instructions name only shape
commands for `ids`.

`deckcraft-cli help` and each subcommand's `--help` say what it does,
with a working example; `--help` never runs the subcommand. `describe`
spells out a command's parameters and what it acts on, `commands` lists
one command per line, and the MCP instructions say what format.* acts on.
