## Verify

- Text check (Library 1.1.5): load `west-coast-charts/agent/describe` and call `chart.describe({ format: "json" })` for the actual drawn state. The live reader is on this example’s HTML page.
- Command line (Public agent tools 0.2.3, tested with Library 1.1.5; available from the versioned GitHub release and npm, https://westcoast-charts.com/docs/cli/index.md): `wcc chart export boxplot-boxplot-scatter.json --out boxplot-boxplot-scatter.svg --with-table` (save the options above as JSON first)
