Error while building theme hugo 1.62

Hello

I got the following error building opera7133/Blonde theme:

execute of template failed: template: _partials/seo/print.html:31:5: executing "_partials/seo/print.html" at <$.Scratch.SetInMap>: error calling SetInMap: assignment to entry in nil map

My HUGO version

hugo v0.162.0-076dfe13d0f789e3d9586b192f8f7f3329c26990+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2026-05-26T13:53:44Z VendorInfo=snap:0.162.0

GO vesrsion:
go version go1.26.3 linux/amd64

The theme works perfectly in HUGO version 1.61.

To reproduce:

{{ .Store.Set "foo" dict }}
{{ .Store.SetInMap "foo" "answer" "42" }}

Related to https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/pull/14924.

See https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/14958.

This is fixed in v0.162.1.
