Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with fig.write_image using an RTL language such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Urdu, then compare the JPEG output with the HTML output shown in the report. Trace the image-export path and determine where bracket ordering diverges; done means brackets render correctly in exported JPEG images while HTML output remains unaffected.
