Release Focus: Hotfix for default svgSectionStyles bgColor painting sections gray

What’s Fixed

This hotfix addresses a regression in the booking-renderer default theme that painted every section with a light-gray fill on hover, when unavailable, and when selected — obscuring the venue background and overriding custom SVG section fills for host apps that don’t explicitly set svgSectionStyles.

No new features. No breaking changes. No migration steps.

Bug Fixes

High Priority

Default svgSectionStyles bgColor: The booking-renderer’s default theme shipped #c7c7c7 (light gray) as the bgColor for svgSectionStyles.unavailable, .hovered, and .selected. On host apps that relied on the default theme, this painted every section gray whenever it was hovered, unavailable, or selected, masking the venue background SVG and any custom section colors.

All three defaults are now 'transparent'. Stroke color, stroke width, and cursor defaults are unchanged, so focus outlines and pointer affordances still render on hover. Host apps that explicitly set svgSectionStyles.hovered.bgColor (or the other states) continue to win the cascade — the fix from 1.61.1 (SEAT-906) respecting user-provided bgColor remains in effect.

Migration Guide

This release is 100% backward compatible. No code changes required.

Host apps that explicitly set svgSectionStyles.*.bgColor see no visual change — the user-provided value still wins.
Host apps that relied on the default theme’s hover/selected/unavailable background previously saw gray; they now see transparent (the underlying section rendering shows through). Apps that want to restore the old behavior can set svgSectionStyles.hovered.bgColor: '#c7c7c7' (and .unavailable / .selected) in their theme override.
