# 1. Minimal dummy data
x = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
y = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]

# 2. Labels containing LaTeXStrings (including an empty string, matching the original case)
labels = [L"$H^+$", "", L"$O_2^+$"]

# 3. Setup figure
fig, ax, plt = scatter(x, y)

# 4. Trigger the bug using `annotation!`
# This will cause a StackOverflowError due to infinite recursive updates
# in ComputePipeline.jl / calculate_best_offsets!
annotation!(ax, x, y, text=labels)
