Description
[WAVE](https://wave.webaim.org/) identified that we have apparently labels of the mobile nav dropdown "leaking" through to desktop.
This causes "Multiple form labels":
and "Empty form label":
as the input field and checkbox are `aria-hidden` while the label apparently is not.
We should follow the guidelines for this properly while keeping the functions working.

Research direction
Start by locating the navigation bar and its mobile dropdown, then inspect how the input, checkbox, and labels are exposed at desktop and mobile sizes. Use WAVE to check the reported “Multiple form labels” and “Empty form label” findings; done means those label issues are resolved while the navigation functions still work.
