Research direction

Start by opening hexbin-mapbox.md, tile-map-layers.md, tile-county-chloropeth.md, and tile-scatter-maps.md and inspect how each reads .mapbox_token. Confirm the documentation build behavior when that file is absent. Done means these pages no longer fail because .mapbox_token cannot be found.
