Subject: [PATCH] fix: close ontology popup when navigating to different LinkML
 schema files

When users click on a different class, enum, or slot in the sidebar,
the ontology term popup now automatically closes. This prevents the
popup from persisting and showing stale information from the
previously viewed schema element.
