HEAD_TAG_INVALID
useHead registration the render could not honor; data.reason names the rule (dev).
What you saw
- Kind:
head - Severity:
warn(code that works but is structurally wrong or expensive)
The console report opens with [HEAD_TAG_INVALID] and the message, then an in line naming the owners that enclose the subject, root first, and an at line with the source location when the code was compiled with one.
In a captured artifact the same finding is an event with code: "HEAD_TAG_INVALID", ownerPath, and loc.
Diagnostics explains each line.
Why it fires
A useHead registration the render could not honor; data.reason names the rule.
The server runtime reports on the same channel, with the same in <App> › <Page> line.
Two groups.
Findings (SSR_RENDER_ERROR_CONTAINED, SSR_SUBTREE_ABANDONED, SSR_STREAM_ABANDONED, LATE_HEADER_WRITE, DYNAMIC_ASYNC_COMPONENT, SERVER_ERROR_SANITIZED, FRAME_MARKER_CORRUPTED) are facts about a render that exist in observe builds too — an APM sees them in production; in dev they print.
Checks (the rest, SSR_BOUNDARY_WATERFALL and SSR_CLIENT_CONTENT_MASKED included) are dev-only guidance.
A captured artifact from a server render carries both.
How to fix it
non-head-tag/invalid-attribute: only head elements and their attributes; props-error/group-error: the props function threw — fix the throw; after-shell-flush: register the tag before the first flush (above the <Loading> whose fallback shipped); outside-render: call useHead from a component body; duplicate-title: one <title> per group, the last wins.
In tests
captureArtifact from @solidjs/diagnostics runs a scenario with the diagnostics channel open and returns the events it saw.
expectNoDiagnostics(artifact) fails while HEAD_TAG_INVALID is among them, with the events as evidence; after the fix, the code is gone from artifact.diagnostics.
Check for regressions in tests shows the loop and the Vitest matcher form.
