chore(copilot): refresh .github/copilot-instructions.md to match current state (#5554)

## Why

Several factual claims in \`.github/copilot-instructions.md\` had
drifted out of sync with the actual codebase, which means GitHub
Copilot's PR Reviewer was making decisions on stale ground rules.

## What

| Stale | Actual | Source of truth |
|-------|--------|-----------------|
| Cloud Run \`anyplot-backend\` | \`anyplot-api\` |
\`api/cloudbuild.yaml\` substitution |
| Cloud Run \`anyplot-frontend\` | \`anyplot-app\` |
\`app/cloudbuild.yaml\` substitution |
| Python 3.14+ | Python 3.13+ | \`pyproject.toml\` \`requires-python =
\">=3.13\"\` |
| Repair attempts ×3 | ×4 | \`impl-repair.yml\` run-name \"attempt 1, 2,
3, or 4\" |
| Single threshold (≥90, fallback ≥50 after 3) | Cascade 90/80/70/60/50
over 4 attempts | \`impl-review.yml\` \`THRESHOLD = max(50, 90 - attempt
* 10)\` |

Plus per user direction: drop the \"No Co-authored-by in commit
messages\" rule. Claude Code's default attribution footer is fine.

PostgreSQL 18 is correct and unchanged (confirmed by user).

## Test plan

- [x] \`git diff\` shows only the documentation updates listed above
- [ ] After merge, Copilot reviewer references the cascade table (not
the old single-threshold logic) on subsequent PRs

 ## Important Rules
 
-- **No Co-authored-by in commit messages** - Never add `Co-authored-by:` lines to commit messages. Keep commit messages clean without AI attribution footers.
 - **Always write in English** - All output text (code comments, commit messages, PR descriptions, issue comments, documentation) must be in English, even if the user writes in another language.

+The `python/` subdirectory is a deliberate forward-compatibility layer; non-Python implementation languages would live as siblings (e.g. `implementations/r/`) when introduced. All paths in code, prompts, and metadata refer to the language-prefixed form: `plots/{spec-id}/implementations/python/{library}.py` and `plots/{spec-id}/metadata/python/{library}.yaml`.
