//! Chart rendering for query results.
//!
//! Converts a list of JSON rows (typically from [`crate::engine::Engine::execute_query_to_json`])
//! into a PNG or SVG image via the [`plotters`] crate. The output is raw bytes plus a
//! MIME type ready to drop into an MCP [`ImageContent`].
//!
//! # Supported Chart Types
//!
//! - **Bar** — categorical x-axis by default; multi-series supported via `series` column.
//! - **Line** — numeric x-axis by default; set `x_as_category = true` for DATE/string x.
//! - **Scatter** — numeric x-axis by default; same `x_as_category` option as line.
//! - **Histogram** — single numeric column binned into N buckets (default 20).
//!
//! # Rendering Pipeline
//!
//! 1. The MCP `chart` tool runs a read-only SQL query via [`crate::engine::Engine`].
//! 2. Rows are grouped into series via `group_series` (categorical x values get
//!    synthetic sequential indices; numeric x values pass through directly).
//! 3. The chart is drawn on either a [`BitMapBackend`] (PNG, written to a temp file)
//!    or an [`SVGBackend`] (SVG, rendered to an in-memory string).
//! 4. The result is returned as base64-encoded [`ImageContent`] plus a JSON stats block.
//!
//! # Color Palette
//!
//! Multi-series charts cycle through an 8-color palette designed for white backgrounds.
//! The palette is defined in `series_color`.
//!
//! [`BitMapBackend`]: plotters::prelude::BitMapBackend
//! [`SVGBackend`]: plotters::prelude::SVGBackend
//! [`ImageContent`]: rmcp::model::ImageContent

    clippy::cast_precision_loss,
