Description
the scatter plots and skyplot, to avoid memory issues both server and user side, do not render all the points. instead rendering only 10k (scatter) or 3k (skyplot) at most.
we need to thereby inform users, outside of plot settings menus, how many of the total points available are being plotted, or users may fall into plotting missteps.
a technical limitation is that this has to be done within the plotly FigureWidget for effect callback reasons
inside the plot setting menu too may be fine as well, but it is a little more tedious to get to/see.

Research direction
Start by locating the scatter plot and skyplot Plotly FigureWidget entry points, then inspect how their point limits are applied and how plot settings are exposed. Confirm how the total available points and rendered counts are available to the callback. Done means users can see the plotted count outside the settings menu, while respecting the FigureWidget constraint and the 10k/3k limits.
