Description

🐛 The bug

In the menu Open Graph under the tab Missing Tags.
It displays incorrectly as missing lang tag if lang html attribute is set by nuxt.config.ts like:

// nuxt.config.ts
app: {
    head: {
      // ..
      htmlAttrs: {
        lang: 'en',
      },
    }
  }

Open Graph / Missing Tags / lang (location in dev tools)
"⚠️lang
The primary language of the page to help search engines and browsers understand the content."

🛠️ To reproduce

https://stackblitz.com/edit/nuxt-starter-nvb8xh?file=nuxt.config.ts

🌈 Expected behavior

It should not de displayed as missing lang tag in this case as far as I know.
"⚠️lang
The primary language of the page to help search engines and browsers understand the content."

ℹ️ Additional context

It works fine when I use useHead. 😊

Research direction

Start with the StackBlitz reproduction and inspect the Open Graph Missing Tags check for the lang attribute. Compare how it detects lang from nuxt.config.ts app.head.htmlAttrs with the existing useHead case; done means the configured lang is no longer reported as missing.
