Branded queryKey in queryOptions causes TS error (TS2769) in useQuery

Describe the bug

I’m encountering a TypeScript overload mismatch (TS2769) when calling useQuery() with the result of a queryOptions(...) function whose returned object contains a queryKey with a branded type. The error occurs specifically when useQuery() receives the output of queryOptions(...) containing a branded value in queryKey.

Passing the same options to queryClient.fetchQuery(queryOptions(queryKey: brandedKey, queryFn)) — works fine.
Passing the branded key inline to useQuery (i.e. useQuery({ queryKey: brandedKey, queryFn})) — works fine.

Your minimal, reproducible example

https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/tanstack-query-ts-error-2769-forked-spc8jh?file=%2Fsrc%2FPost.vue

Steps to reproduce

1. Define a branded type in your code:

type PostId = string & { readonly __brand: "PostId" };

2. Create a helper function that returns queryOptions where the queryKey includes a value using this branded type:

const getPostQueryOptions = (
  params: MaybeRefOrGetter<{ postId: PostId }>
) => {
  return queryOptions({
    queryKey: ["post", params],
    queryFn: () => fetcher(toValue(params).postId),
  });
};

3. Call useQuery() using the result of this helper:

useQuery(getPostQueryOptions({ postId }));

4. Observe the TypeScript error:
No overload matches this call.
Overload 1 of 3, '(options: DefinedInitialQueryOptions<Post, Error, Post, MaybeRefDeep<string | (() => { postId: PostId; }) | { postId: PostId; }>[]>, queryClient?: QueryClient | undefined): UseQueryDefinedReturnType<...>', gave the following error.... ts(2769)

Expected behavior

useQuery() should correctly accept a QueryOptions object whose queryKey contains a branded (nominal) type.

In other words:
Passing the result of queryOptions(...) or any helper function that returns a QueryOptions object should not trigger a TypeScript overload error, even if the queryKey includes branded values.

Additional context

No response

Start with the linked CodeSandbox and its src/Post.vue reproduction, then trace the TypeScript overloads used by queryOptions and useQuery in the Vue adapter. Confirm the fix by making the branded queryKey helper compile without TS2769 while preserving the working fetchQuery and inline useQuery cases.
