TanStack Router Patterns

Quick Guide: TanStack Router types the whole URL — path params, search params and loader return values all flow through inference, so a wrong <Link to> is a compile error. The router plugin generates routeTree.gen.ts from the routes directory; validateSearch turns search params into a validated schema; beforeLoad runs sequentially for guards and context, loader runs in parallel for data. Registering the router through declare module is what makes the type safety app-wide.
