update(scatter-basic): plotly — comprehensive quality review (#4201)

## Summary

Updated **LIB_PLACEHOLDER** implementation for **scatter-basic**.

**Changes:** Comprehensive quality review — improved variable naming,
realistic data context, white marker edges for point definition, subtler
grid styling, and explicit font sizing for large canvas.

### Changes
- Descriptive variable names with realistic data context
- White marker edges for better point definition
- Subtler grid styling (opacity ~0.15-0.2)
- Explicit font sizing for 4800x2700 canvas
- Library-specific improvements for idiomatic usage

## Test Plan

- [x] Preview images uploaded to GCS staging
- [x] Implementation file passes ruff format/check
- [x] Metadata YAML updated with current versions
- [ ] Automated review triggered
