Description

Research direction

Reproduce the report-generation case described with Python, seaborn, and seaborn.set(font_scale=2), comparing plot text sizes before and after publication. Trace where the generated plots are processed and determine whether the published output preserves the configured font scale. Done means the published plots use the requested font size and the behavior is covered by a regression check.
