v7 has a breaking change with the upgrade of the peerDependency to React@19

[danieleloscozzese]

Description

The v7 series above 7.3.3 has a breaking internal change after #2547.
Inter-package dependencies which are not pinned include the peer dependency on React 19 exclusive of v18 and break the installation in a tree which is still on v18. This is a breaking change and should have been the v8.

Is it possible to tag a v7.3.8 (being the most up to date patch of v7) which reverts the React v19 change? This is possible by releasing a non-latest tag, even manually, of the code at that version and would unblock us (we are Subito.it, Spark users).

We are more than happy to make the PR / branch but would not be able to release it ourselves.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install @spark-ui/[email protected]
2. Run npm ls react
3. Transitively there is a dependency on React v19 from, for example, "@spark-ui/form-field": "^7.3.3" which resolves to v7.3.7.

Many changes happened in Spark following the recent aquisition of the company:

• Only 1 developer remain (me)
• The repository will be moved from adevinta organisation to leboncoin soon (still an open-source repo, but it might not last).
• There is pressure to make Spark "Leboncoin only", we are trying to make it that no business logic ends up in the project, but now might be a good time for you to fork it. Their strategy is to split the assets per brand unfortunately.
• They removed from the team people that were admin/owner of the workflow (CI, npm accounts, etc) I still have to get some admin rights for now I am a bit stuck.

I incorrectly tagged the PR after this one as the breaking change (React 19 update, removal of all forwardRef), for now can you use fixed versioning ? I will look to fix it but I have other feature to deliver right now.
