Quarto's auto-generated #quarto-margin-sidebar (the right-hand "On this page" TOC column) was overlapping .side-panel and silently intercepting clicks on the Source filter checkboxes. The checkbox would appear visible and cursor over it would appear clickable, but mouse clicks hit the margin-sidebar first (higher in the stacking context) and were swallowed — no toggle, no globe re-query. Diagnosed live via Chrome DevTools: - document.elementsFromPoint at SESAR checkbox center returned #quarto-margin-sidebar as the topmost element - Installing capture-phase listeners on #sourceFilter and issuing a real mouse click logged zero events - Setting pointer-events: none on the margin sidebar restored expected behavior This page is an app, not an article — a TOC column adds nothing and is actively harmful. Set toc: false in frontmatter to stop Quarto from rendering the margin sidebar entirely. Verified post-render: #quarto-margin-sidebar and #TOC both absent from docs/tutorials/progressive_globe.html, still present on other pages. Follow-up (separate PR): audit isamples_explorer.qmd and zenodo_isamples_analysis.qmd for the same overlap — both are tutorials with side panels and both currently have toc: true.

Fixes #127. The
