Final refinements to bumplot visualization

Implemented user-requested refinements:

1. LARGER FONTS:
   - Axis labels increased to 18pt (was 14pt)
   - Tick labels increased to 14pt (was 12pt)

2. COLORBAR POSITIONING:
   - Moved to x=0.90 (was 0.86) for proper gap from figure
   - Labels above/below remain properly aligned

3. Y-AXIS RANGE:
   - Increased padding to prevent token cutoff
   - Now uses (0.3 to max_rank+0.8) instead of (0.7 to max_rank+0.3)

4. TOKEN DISPLAY:
   - Increased max length to 15 chars (was 10)
   - Adaptive font sizing: 10pt for long tokens, 12pt standard
   - Smart truncation at 13 chars + '..'

5. CURVE TRANSPARENCY:
   - Reduced alpha to 0.2 (was 0.5)
   - Makes overlapping paths more visible
   - Added rasterized=False to ensure vector rendering

All tokens are now fully visible, curves show proper transparency,
and the overall layout has better spacing and readability.
