Problem

On small screens, such as phones, the side panel currently opens automatically when the page loads. This reduces the available map area and can obscure the initial view.

Expected behavior

On phone-sized and other small-screen viewports, the side panel should start closed when the page loads. Users should be able to open it explicitly using the existing control.

On larger screens, preserve the current side-panel behavior unless there is an existing responsive rule that specifies otherwise.

Acceptance criteria

  • The side panel is closed by default on initial page load for small-screen/mobile viewports.
  • The map remains usable and visible across the initial small-screen viewport.
  • The existing control can open and close the side panel normally.
  • Desktop/tablet behavior is unchanged unless covered by the responsive breakpoint.
  • The behavior is verified at the project’s supported mobile viewport sizes.
