 review:
   strengths:
-  - Excellent use of Highcharts pattern-fill module to create distinct geological
-    lithology patterns (dots, dashes, brick grid, circles)
-  - Real Colorado Plateau stratigraphy with correct formation names, ages, and stratigraphic
-    ordering
-  - Thoughtful design with subtle period background bands, dashed boundary lines,
-    and appropriate geological color palette
-  - Full spec compliance with all required features present
-  - Clean, well-structured deterministic code
+  - Excellent use of Highcharts pattern-fill module for geological lithology patterns
+    approximating USGS standards
+  - Realistic Colorado Plateau stratigraphy with actual formation names and correct
+    geological ages
+  - Thoughtful visual design with subtle period-colored bands, dashed boundary lines,
+    and professional typography
+  - Interactive tooltips showing formation name, lithology, depth range, and thickness
+  - Both PNG and interactive HTML outputs
   weaknesses:
-  - Column is too narrow relative to the canvas, leaving excessive empty space on
-    both sides (VQ-05)
-  - Formation name labels partially overlap with the column edge in several places
-    (VQ-02)
-  - Sandstone and conglomerate colors are similar warm tones, reducing quick visual
-    distinction (VQ-04)
-  - Does not use highcharts-core Python library as recommended (LM-01)
-  image_description: 'The plot shows a vertical stratigraphic column centered on a
-    white canvas. The column displays 10 geological layers from 0 to 200m depth (increasing
-    downward), each filled with a distinct lithology pattern: sandstone (wheat background
-    with brown dots), shale (gray with horizontal dashes), limestone (light blue with
-    brick-like grid), siltstone (tan with short horizontal dashes), and conglomerate
-    (golden-brown with circles). The title reads "column-stratigraphic · highcharts
-    · pyplots.ai" with a subtitle "Synthetic Sedimentary Section — Colorado Plateau
-    Stratigraphy". The y-axis is labeled "Depth (m)" with 20m tick intervals. Geological
-    period labels (Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Permian) appear rotated on the
-    left side within subtle colored background bands (green, blue, orange, purple
-    at very low opacity). Dashed horizontal lines mark period boundaries. Formation
-    names (Dakota Sandstone, Morrison Formation, etc.) are labeled to the right of
-    each layer. A vertical legend on the far right lists the 5 lithology types with
-    pattern swatches. The column itself is quite narrow relative to the total canvas
-    width, leaving significant empty space on both sides.'
+  - Layout could be more balanced — some wasted space between formation labels and
+    legend
+  - Raw JSON config bypasses highcharts-core Python API (though justified by pattern-fill
+    limitations)
+  image_description: 'The plot displays a vertical stratigraphic column showing 10
+    geological layers spanning 0–200m depth (increasing downward). Each layer is filled
+    with a distinct SVG pattern: sandstone layers (Dakota, Navajo, Coconino) use stipple
+    dots on a wheat-colored background; shale layers (Morrison, Chinle, Hermit) use
+    horizontal dashes on gray; limestone layers (Sundance, Kaibab) use a brick/grid
+    pattern on light blue; siltstone (Carmel) uses short dashes on tan; and conglomerate
+    (Kayenta) uses circles on purple. Formation names are labeled to the right of
+    the column. Geological period labels (Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic, Permian)
+    appear rotated vertically on the left, within very subtle colored background bands.
+    Dashed horizontal lines mark period boundaries at 18m, 100m, and 142m. The y-axis
+    shows "Depth (m)" with tick marks every 20m. A vertical legend titled "Lithology"
+    on the right lists all 5 rock types with pattern swatches. Title reads "column-stratigraphic
+    · highcharts · pyplots.ai" with subtitle "Synthetic Sedimentary Section — Colorado
+    Plateau Stratigraphy". Background is off-white (#FAFAF8).'
