Use background thread for reliable keyboard event handling

Previous attempts to poll keyboard events in the render loop were
failing. Now using a dedicated background thread that continuously
monitors for exit keys and communicates with the render loop via
an atomic boolean flag.

This ensures keyboard events are never missed, even during heavy
rendering operations.

Exit: Press 'q', ESC, or Ctrl+C
