Current behavior 😯

I have a [slug.tsx]. meta title and description render "undefined" when load page directly, but render title correctly when navigate from "list" page to "[slug.tsx]" page with an anchor.

// [slug.tsx]
const getPillQuery = query(async (slug: string) => {
  "use server";
  return getPillBySlug(slug);
}, "pill");

export const route = {
  load: ({ params }) => {
    void getPillBySlug(params.slug);
  },
} satisfies RouteDefinition;

export default function PillPage(props: RouteSectionProps) {
  const pill = createAsync(() => getPillQuery(props.params.slug))

  return (
    <main>
      <Title>{pill()?.title}</Title>
      todo
    </main>
  );
}

and app.config.ts

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    prerender: {
      routes: ["/", "/pills"],
    },
    hooks: {
      async "prerender:routes"(routes) {
        const pills = await getPills();
        pills.forEach(({ id, slug }) => routes.add(`/pills/${slug}`));
      },
    },
  },
});
Expected behavior 🤔

I have a list of "pills" and want to generate a build time N pages. Each page should have right info.
Maybe I do in a wrong way

Research direction

Start by reproducing the direct load and client navigation difference in [slug.tsx], then trace the route load and createAsync usage alongside the prerender:routes hook in app.config.ts. Check how the generated /pills/${slug} pages obtain their title and description; done means direct loads and navigations render the same metadata for every prerendered page.
