Thank you Aditya.
The main.tex file is meant to be reusable for different document styles. By removing \completecontent altogether from the main template, it would preclude a different document from reusing the main.tex template with a table of contents. I'd like the template to be "reusable"; making modifications to "main.tex" --- or creating a copy --- would subvert that goal.

Why not simply omit \compltecontent from the pandoc template?
