  "description": "`stairs` creates staircase-style line plots for sampled or piecewise-constant data. In RunMat it returns a plot handle, supports MATLAB `stairs(y)` and `stairs(x, y)` style workflows, and reuses the shared line/marker property model so step plots behave consistently with the rest of the plotting stack.",
  "behaviors": [
    "`stairs(y)` uses implicit x-values `1:n`, while `stairs(x, y)` uses explicit paired coordinates.",
    "The returned value is a plot handle that works with `get` and `set`.",
    "Marker styling and display names can be updated through the same handle/property system used by line plots.",
    "Step-plot rendering is subplot-local and respects current axes state just like `plot` and `scatter`.",
    "GPU-backed geometry is preferred when exported buffers and the shared plotting device are available."
