Research direction

Start with the issue's CodePen reproduction and compare the hover buttons in versions 1.58.4, 2.0.0–2.3.1, and plotly-latest.min.js. Identify where the hover-mode behavior is documented, then update that documentation to accurately describe the buttons' availability and version differences.
