Research direction

Start by locating Folium's GroupedLayerControl entry point and compare its current options with the groupCheckboxes behavior described in the linked leaflet-groupedlayercontrol documentation. Confirm the expected option shape and integration surface, then verify that GroupedLayerControl supports the requested behavior without regressing existing controls.
