Research direction
Investigate how tick labels are formatted in Plotly.js. The bug occurs due to floating point precision when values like 0.0000000000000000888178 are displayed instead of 0. Look at the formatting logic in `src/components/axes/` or relevant files. Check for use of `toFixed` or `Number.toPrecision`. The codepen linked in the issue reproduces the problem. Determine if a simple rounding threshold can be applied to display very small numbers as zero.
