Figure generation from pipeline viz outputs

[rec3141]

Summary

Pipeline's viz/ dashboard produces interactive Plotly JSON outputs. Need to:

1. Generate static figures for manuscript (PNG/SVG)
2. Have AI select the most salient figures for the draft
3. Include interactive versions in the HTML paper

Context

• ai/figure_generator.py exists (Plotly JSON → figures)
• Pipeline viz/ produces: assembly stats, taxonomy barplots, MAG quality scatter, functional heatmaps
• Papers rendered via Quarto → GitHub Pages (supports both static + interactive)

Tasks

• Map viz/ JSON outputs to figure types
• Generate static PNG/SVG for each plot
• AI selects top figures for manuscript sections
• Embed interactive Plotly in Quarto HTML output
• Store figures in paper repo

Priority: P1 — papers need figures
