Router

Describe the bug

When using inline scripts (with children instead of src) in the head() function, client-side SPA navigation renders empty <script>
tags as placeholders.

Possible cause:

On SPA navigation, empty <script type="application/ld+json"></script> tags appear in the DOM.
But the actual content is appended separately via useEffect, but the rendered placeholder remains empty.

I believe this is the piece of code

  if (!router.isServer) {
    const { src, ...rest } = attrs || {};
    return jsx("script", {
      suppressHydrationWarning: true,
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML: { __html: "" },
  client!
      ...rest
    });
  }

This works for external scripts (src), but inline scripts with children should either:

  1. Render with the actual content: { __html: children }
  2. Return null and rely solely on the useEffect DOM insertion

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

export const Route = createFileRoute('/blog/$slug')({
    head: () => ({
      scripts: [
        {
          type: 'application/ld+json',
          children: JSON.stringify({ "@type": "Article", "headline":"Test" })
        },
      ],
    }),
  })

Expected behavior

Script tags should contain their children content or not render at all on the client.
