…der#52) When ax.text() uses transform=ax.transAxes, the coordinates are relative to the axes (0-1 range), not data coordinates. The generated TikZ code was incorrectly using 'axis cs:' which places text at data coordinates. Now correctly uses 'rel axis cs:' for axes-relative positioning. Updated test_fancybox_reference.tex to match the corrected output.

Fixes #52
Problem
When \�x.text()\ uses \ ransform=ax.transAxes, the coordinates are relative to the axes (0–1 range). However, the generated TikZ code was using \�xis cs:\ which interprets them as data coordinates, placing the text at the wrong position.
Before (incorrect):
\\latex
\draw (axis cs:0.05,0.95) node[...]
\\
After (correct):
\\latex
\draw (rel axis cs:0.05,0.95) node[...]
\\
Fix
In _text.py's _get_tikz_pos(), detect when the text object's transform is \�x.transAxes\ and emit
el axis cs:\ instead of \�xis cs:. Updated \ est_fancybox_reference.tex\ (4 occurrences) to match the corrected output.
All tests pass (113/113), ruff and mypy clean.
