Pull request overview
Updates the Altair implementation for the hexbin-basic plot in plots/, aiming to improve the hexbin approach and bring the implementation/metadata up to date.
Changes:
- Replaced the prior rectangular binning approach with a manual hexagonal bin aggregation and a custom hexagon mark.
- Updated Altair implementation styling/encodings (color, size, grid).
- Updated Altair metadata (timestamps, generator, Python version, quality score field).

quality_score was changed from a numeric value to null. In this repo, plot metadata almost always keeps quality_score as a 0–100 number, and setting it to null may break consumers that expect a score (and it no longer matches the header). If the score is not yet known, consider keeping the previous value or updating it to the new reviewed score instead of null.

col_idx is computed but never used. Please remove it (or use it) to avoid dead code and keep the binning logic easier to follow.

The plot header is malformed: the Quality: line is missing the numeric score ("Quality: /100"), and the date label changed from the usual Created:/Updated: pattern used elsewhere. This breaks the standard 4-line header format used across plot implementations and can also confuse any tooling that parses the header.
