Description
Describe the bug
The packages/kit/test/apps/basics Playwright suite intermittently fails on Routing › responds to <form method="GET"> submission without reload. When a CSS chunk (e.g. _app/immutable/assets/0.DylTJ_5d.css) is fetched during form submission, the test fails because it expects no additional network requests after the form submit.
This likely occurs due to route-level CSS code-splitting in SvelteKit. The small <style> in src/routes/+layout.svelte is extracted into a separate asset whenever a new route is added or moved, even if that route defines no styles.
It appears that the outcome depends on whether that CSS chunk was cached by a previous test run, causing the test to alternate between passing and failing.
Reproduction
No external reproduction required
reproducible in SvelteKit CI (GitHub Actions).

Start in the packages/kit/test/apps/basics Playwright suite with Routing › responds to
submission without reload, then inspect src/routes/+layout.svelte and the route-level CSS behavior described in the issue. Reproduce the GitHub Actions failure and verify that the test remains stable without an unexpected CSS chunk request after form submission.Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
