docs: refresh the container image sizes for the 2026.07 images, and keep them in one place #201

Description

@mmcky

#199 moved both images to the Anaconda 2026.07 baseline. The docs still quote the 2026.06 sizes, which containers/README.md now dates as measured before the move. The image-size job in test-container.yml measured the new images on 2026-09-25 (run 36122900672):

Image Compressed pull On disk
quantecon (full) 3.39 GB (was 3.33) 8.79 GB (was 8.60)
quantecon-build (lean) 2.85 GB (was 2.93) 7.10 GB (was 7.32)

The lean image is now about 16% smaller to pull than the full one, not the ~12% containers/README.md:12 says.

The figures are hard-coded in 22 lines across 10 files, so every baseline or TeX Live change leaves most of them stale:

File Lines
README.md 153, 154
containers/README.md 9, 10, 12
containers/quantecon-build/README.md 18, 79, 80
docs/CONTAINER-GUIDE.md 9, 10, 64
docs/QUICK-REFERENCE.md 23, 24
docs/dev/ARCHITECTURE.md 15, 54
docs/dev/CONTAINER-VALIDATION.md 17, 18
docs/dev/TESTING.md 187
setup-environment/README.md 34, 35
.github/copilot-instructions.md 33, 34, 135
  • Choose: one canonical size table (containers/README.md already states the method and the date) that the other docs link to, or refresh every mention in place.
  • Update the numbers, the measurement date, and the "~12% smaller to pull" comparison.

Deferred here from Copilot's review of #199; the replies on that PR point at this follow-up.
