update(density-basic): pygal — comprehensive quality review (#4386)

## Summary

Updated **pygal** implementation for **density-basic**.

**Changes:** Comprehensive quality review

### Changes
- Increased font sizes (title 72, labels 44, major labels 40)
- Made rug marks more visible (6% height, every 3rd point, thicker
stroke)
- Added CSS for refined grid styling
- Quality: 82/100 (local self-evaluation, after 1 iteration)

## 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
