Description
TanStack Devtools version
v0.9.9
Framework/Library version
React 19.2.3
Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it
Devtools does not interact well with Html's dialog element.
A dialog anywhere in the DOM will take precedence in the element stack, regardless of z-index. This means that when a dialog is open, both the trigger and panel of the devtools will become inaccessible.
Your Minimal, Reproducible Example - (Sandbox Highly Recommended)
Render a <dialog open>Something</dialog> in a page with devtools and devtools can no longer be interacted with.

Research direction
Start with the reported minimal reproduction: render
alongside TanStack Devtools and inspect how the trigger and panel are mounted and layered. Done when an open HTML dialog no longer prevents both devtools controls from receiving interaction; the issue names no specific file or test, so locate the relevant entry point from this reproduction.Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
