QA note: unpin plotly when fixed:

This seems to be a broader plotly 6.0.0 issue (not just in Positron): plotly/plotly.py#5012

[juliasilge]

Apparently plotly 6.0 has a migration guide:
https://plotly.com/python/v6-migration/

[isabelizimm]

Could this be related to #6033 at all? I know that is for a different version of plotly, but both of these popping up at the same time seems suspicious 🤔

This problem came up in discussions in #7294
