Pull request overview

This PR adds cell highlighting functionality to the Landscape widget, enabling notebooks to visually emphasize specific cells while dimming others. The implementation synchronizes selected cell IDs between Python and JavaScript, updates the rendering pipeline to apply highlight-aware colors, and embeds cell identifiers in scatter plot data.

Key Changes:

• Added selected_cells trait and highlight_cells() method to the Python widget for cell selection management
• Implemented frontend state management for highlighted cells with observable store integration and layer refresh logic
• Modified cell rendering to display highlighted cells in bright blue while dimming non-highlighted cells to low opacity

I tested on my end and it worked as expected. The only comment I have is that the marker for the selected cell is hard to see at default zoom level as shown below. It might be helpful to change the highlighting color from dark blue to cyan and/or increase the dot size, whatever is minimal but effective.

LGTM! Works as expected.
