Description
Buttons to choose 'hover to closest' and 'hover to compare' disappear in versions from 2.0.0 to 2.3.1. See repo here https://codepen.io/zyzhu/pen/BaREOVg

Buttons are there in 1.58.4

If I change version to plotly-latest.min.js. The buttons show up.

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.
