Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating plotly.js shape rectangle handling and its paper- and y-coordinate logic; determine how mixed numeric and infinite y bounds should be represented and rendered. Done means a shape can combine one y-axis value with an infinity or negative-infinity bound, with the behavior covered by appropriate tests.
