Two related fixes to the per-channel stats block:
1. Pin the stats table's position via an explicit bbox= on
ax.table() so the bottom edge is at a known axes-fraction Y.
The previous loc="upper left" + tbl.scale(1, 1.4) combo let
matplotlib choose row heights based on text size, which made the
table extend further below the axes than the hard-coded PVS line
at y=-0.08 expected. Result was the "Peak Vector Sum X in/s"
string landing horizontally inside the Peak Displacement row.
With bbox=[0, 1-N*0.12, 0.80, N*0.12] the table is pinned to a
precise rectangle (12% axes-fraction per row × N rows tall).
_draw_stats_table now stashes the bottom Y on the axes for the
PVS helper to reference, so the geometry stays in sync.
2. Center PVS horizontally (ha="center" at x=0.5 instead of ha="left"
at x=0). The previous left-edge alignment put PVS at the same
X as the label column, which read as "off-center" once the rest
of the stats data was column-aligned further right.
3. Drop the "NA: Not Applicable" caption. It existed to explain
"—" placeholder cells, but "—" is universally understood and the
caption was always visually squished against the PVS line below.
Less cruft on the page; one fewer position to manage.
Verified against a real BE12599 histogram event (5 data rows) and
a real UM12947 IDFW waveform event (6 data rows) — both layouts
clear the table cleanly with no overlap.
