Altair 6 introduces a new Vega-Lite MIME type (application/vnd.vegalite.v6+json).
FigureAltair currently assumes only v4/v5 MIME variants, which leads to a
KeyError and a full UI crash when charts are rendered with newer Altair
versions.
This change preserves the existing v4/v5 code path and adds a controlled
fallback for newer Vega-Lite MIME types by selecting the first available
Vega-Lite spec exposed by Altair. The intent is to maintain backward
compatibility while avoiding crashes caused by forward MIME version changes.
Notes
No behavior change for Altair ≤ 5
Prevents hard failures with newer Vega-Lite MIME variants
Scoped strictly to Vega-Lite rendering
