+review:
+  strengths:
+  - Excellent implementation of Smith chart using plotnine grammar of graphics approach
+  - Mathematically correct calculation of constant resistance circles and reactance
+    arcs
+  - Proper conversion from complex impedance to reflection coefficient coordinates
+  - Clean layered composition with grid, boundary, axis, data locus, and annotations
+  - Realistic RF engineering data scenario with antenna S11 measurements
+  - Good use of coord_fixed for maintaining circular aspect ratio
+  weaknesses:
+  - Frequency labels in yellow may have lower contrast against white background than
+    ideal
+  - Grid line labels (r=0, r=0.2, x=0.5, etc.) not shown - would enhance educational
+    value
+  - Data point markers could be slightly larger for better visibility at full resolution
+  image_description: The plot displays a Smith chart with the correct circular layout.
+    The outer boundary is a black circle representing |gamma|=1 (total reflection).
+    Inside, light gray constant resistance circles are drawn (centered along the horizontal
+    axis) and constant reactance arcs curve from the right edge. A horizontal real
+    axis line passes through the center. The impedance locus is drawn as a connected
+    blue (#306998) path with small markers showing an antenna S11 measurement sweep
+    from 1-6 GHz. Five frequency labels (1.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz, 3.4 GHz, 4.7 GHz, 6.0 GHz)
+    appear in yellow/gold text positioned above their corresponding data points. A
+    red dot marks the center point (Z=Z₀) with a red label. The chart uses a clean
+    white background with no axis labels or tick marks (appropriate for a Smith chart).
+    The title "smith-chart-basic · plotnine · pyplots.ai" appears centered at the
+    top in bold black text.
