* Send /top as a native table instead of a rendered image Telegram has carried table blocks since Bot API 10.1, which the aiogram upgrade just made reachable. Hand /top its rows as data and let the client draw them: the result is selectable and searchable, and it skips the pandas -> WeasyPrint -> poppler -> Pillow round trip entirely. This is a pilot. /show_queue, /history and the monthly survey results still render images, so the pipeline and its dependencies stay for now. Also drop a leftover debug print from the handler. * Drop the image pipeline in favour of native tables /show_queue, /history and the monthly survey results now travel as table blocks like /top already did, so nothing renders PNGs any more. That removes pandas, WeasyPrint, pdf2image and Pillow from the requirements, poppler and pango from the image, and src/utility/tools.py altogether. The survey used to send three images as a media group and pin the first one, which pinned only the first category. It is now a single message: a heading followed by one table per category, so pinning covers all three. * Set 512mb for VM
