What

The layout component that renders the transcript, sidebar, and composer area no longer has a way to turn off the sidebar's background fill. Whenever the sidebar has any width, its composerSidebarBackground color is now always applied.

Why

The optional transparent/inherited sidebar look is no longer available; the sidebar's filled background is now the only behavior.
