Current evaluation

Enhancement: when uploading a snap with components, the progress bar shows only 'Uploading...' without the artifact name or overall progress. Triaged and acknowledged as a good UX improvement; no work since April 2025 and the code still shows the same behavior.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue is triaged (labels 'Status: Triaged', 'Type: Enhancement') and maintainer mr-cal acknowledged it on 2025-04-21 as 'a good UX improvement', noting it would require experimentation to integrate craft-cli's progress bar with craft-store uploads. I verified the code at HEAD still uses emit.progress_bar('Uploading...', ...) without the artifact name, so the problem is still applicable and the enhancement remains valid, just not yet scheduled.

Issue body

### What needs to get done When uploading a snap with several components, the upload progress is shown for the snap itself, then replaced for each component. The total size of the specific artifact is shown, but not the name of what is being uploaded. ``` Uploading... [████████████████████ ] 1461813248/3586724066 ``` ### Why it needs to get done It is difficult to guess the overall upload progress. It is not clear what has already been uploaded, what is currently being uploaded, and what remains.
