Steps to Reproduce the Bug

1. npx gitpick TanStack/router/tree/main/examples/react/start-basic-cloudflare start-basic-cloudflare
2. npm i
3. npm run dev
4. Go to localhost:3000/users directly without visiting any other page. Or hard refresh at /user

Expected behavior

As a user, I expect the example to work by default. If this is a feature of the tanstack router, it should be mentioned in the readme of this example.

Additional context

No response

Start with src/routes/users.tsx, especially the loader at line 6, then reproduce the issue in the start-basic-cloudflare example with the listed npm commands. Verify direct navigation or a hard refresh at /users succeeds without the Invalid URL error; if the behavior is intentional, document the requirement in that example's README.
