Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to External head scripts can still be removed and executed again during navigation when equivalent script attributes are returned in a different property order. This can rerun analytics or widget initialization, so canonical script identity and coverage for reordered attributes are needed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

HeadContent’s JSON.stringify(tag) key and Asset’s attrsKey dependency to use the
same canonical form, preserving equivalent attributes across property-order
changes; add a navigation test that reverses equivalent script attribute order

Canonicalize script identity before serializing attributes.
HeadContent uses JSON.stringify(tag) as the Asset key, while Asset uses JSON.stringify(attrs ?? null) for its effect dependency. Equivalent script attributes with different property order change both keys. React can remount Asset, remove the existing script during cleanup, and inject it again.
Use one canonical, sorted representation for both keys. Add a navigation test that reverses equivalent script attribute order between renders.

Fixes #8226.
Problem
A script declared in
head()withsrcis removed and re-executed on every client-side navigation that rebuilds head tags. Analytics count every internal click as a fresh visit; widgets re-boot constantly.Live repro on 1.170.32 (Playwright + Chromium, repro repo linked in the issue):
window.__trackCountgoes 1 (SSR) -> 2 (nav) -> 3 (nav) instead of staying 1.Root cause
Script's injectionuseEffectinAsset.tsxkeyed off[attrs, children, dataScript].attrsis a freshly spread object on every head-tag computation, so any navigation that rebuilds head tags re-fires the effect: cleanup removes the injected<script src>, the effect appends a new node, and the browser executes it again. (After the hydration flip the component rendersnull, so React removes the SSR-adopted node and the dedup loop can never match it - which is why even the first revisit re-executed.)Fix
Serialize the attributes into a stable
attrsKeyand key the effect off that instead of object identity. The effect now only re-runs when the script's actual attributes or content change, so a matched route's script is injected (and executed) exactly once, while route-scoped removal semantics on unmount are unchanged.Test
New
packages/react-router/tests/head-script-src-navigation.test.tsx: roothead()withscripts: [{ src: '/track-test.js' }], two routes with different head titles; spies ondocument.head.appendChildandHTMLScriptElement.prototype.remove, navigates index -> pool -> index, and asserts exactly one injection, zero removals, one node in<head>. Fails onmain(3 injections, 2 removals), passes with the fix.Summary by CodeRabbit
