[BUG]: Violin box.line.color disappears after Plotly.restyle, but initial render shows it

Description

A Plotly Express scatter plot with marginal violins renders differently depending on
when box.line.color is applied to one violin trace.

If fig.data[2].box.line.color = "red" is set before the first render, the red box
outline inside the blue violin is visible. If the same base figure is rendered first
and the same value is applied later with Plotly.restyle, the red outline is missing.

Steps to reproduce

import io

import plotly
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.io as pio
from PIL import Image, ImageChops
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

print(f"Plotly version: {plotly.__version__}")

df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter(
    df,
    x="sepal_width",
    y="sepal_length",
    color="species",
    marginal_y="violin",
    marginal_x="box",
    trendline="ols",
    template="simple_white",
)

# plot1.png: set the violin embedded box line color before the first render.
fig.data[2].box.line.color = "red"
assert fig.data[2].box.line.color == "red"
html1 = pio.to_html(fig, full_html=True, include_plotlyjs="cdn")

# plot2.png: render first, then apply the same value with Plotly.restyle.
fig.data[2].box.line.color = None
html2 = pio.to_html(fig, full_html=True, include_plotlyjs="cdn")
html2 = html2.replace(
    "</body>",
    """
<script>
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
    const plotEl = document.getElementsByClassName("plotly-graph-div")[0];
    setTimeout(() => {
        Plotly.restyle(plotEl, {"box.line.color": "red"}, [2]);
    }, 1000);
});
</script>
</body>""",
)

with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    browser = playwright.chromium.launch(
        headless=True,
        args=["--no-sandbox", "--disable-dev-shm-usage", "--disable-gpu"],
    )
    page = browser.new_page(viewport={"width": 1200, "height": 800})

    page.set_content(html1)
    page.wait_for_timeout(1500)
    img1 = page.screenshot(path="plot1.png")

    page.set_content(html2)
    page.wait_for_timeout(2000)
    img2 = page.screenshot(path="plot2.png")

    browser.close()

diff = ImageChops.difference(
    Image.open(io.BytesIO(img1)).convert("RGB"),
    Image.open(io.BytesIO(img2)).convert("RGB"),
)
assert diff.getbbox() is not None, "Screenshots are unexpectedly identical."
print("Saved plot1.png and plot2.png")

Notes

Add info here that doesn't fit in the other sections.

首先使用 Plotly Express、pio.to_html、Plotly.restyle 和 Playwright 运行提供的 Python 复现，然后比较两张截图。跟踪 fig.data[2] 中的 violin trace 和生成的 HTML，以确定为什么 box.line.color 在 restyle 前后会有所不同。当嵌入式红色箱线轮廓在两种情况下都能一致渲染，并且针对所报告序列具有回归覆盖时，即视为完成。
