Describe the bug

After #9810, a query created inside $effect.root with an explicit QueryClient can remain subscribed after the root's disposer runs. This affects both createQuery and createInfiniteQuery when the client/restoration subscription has not changed.

The retained observer prevents normal garbage collection. Interval refetches continue after disposal, and a pending request that consumes its AbortSignal is not aborted. Normal component unmount still cleans up in the control test.

Your minimal, reproducible example

Test-only reproducer, pinned commit

A minimal client-side .svelte.ts example is:

import { flushSync } from 'svelte'
import { QueryClient, createQuery } from '@tanstack/svelte-query'

const client = new QueryClient()
const queryKey = ['root-cleanup']
const dispose = $effect.root(() => {
  createQuery(
    () => ({ queryKey, queryFn: () => Promise.resolve('data') }),
    () => client,
  )
})

flushSync()
const query = client.getQueryCache().find({ queryKey })!
console.log(query.getObserversCount()) // 1
dispose()
console.log(query.getObserversCount()) // expected 0, currently 1
client.clear()

Steps to reproduce

From a clean checkout of the linked reproduction branch, use Node 24.16.0 and pnpm 12.4.2, install dependencies with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, then run:

NX_DAEMON=false NX_NO_CLOUD=true NX_ISOLATE_PLUGINS=false \
  pnpm nx run @tanstack/svelte-query:test:lib --skip-nx-cache -- \
  tests/createQuery/observer-cleanup.svelte.test.ts

The test-only commit is based on main 848b42129eef0dd7f55c99d2d3d1418bda4853eb. It deliberately fails: 10 failed, 2 passed.

Expected behavior

Root disposal should unsubscribe its observers, allowing normal GC and cancellation behavior and stopping interval refetches.

How often does this bug happen?

Every time in the local reproduction. The tests use fake timers and local promises, without network requests.

Platform

macOS ARM64, Node 24.16.0, Vitest 4.1.2 with jsdom. Not reproduced in a real browser or an SSR application yet.

TanStack Query adapter and version

@tanstack/svelte-query 6.2.4, tested from the main checkout above; Svelte 5.55.1, TypeScript 5.9.3 in the Svelte package.

Additional context

With the same current dependencies, replacing only createBaseQuery.svelte.ts with its pre-#9810 version makes all 12 checks pass. This is a single-file comparison, not a claim that the complete historical checkout was tested. The existing Svelte suite passes all 214 tests on the initial audit main 8a5e385f67a192b308057c4873b2d550a731f42b; the relevant subscription code is unchanged on the newer base.

The initial subscription is created eagerly in createBaseQuery.svelte.ts. Its watchChanges callback supplies cleanup only after a later change, because the helper skips its first invocation. Outside component initialization, the onDestroy registration throws and is caught. This leaves the initial subscription without a working root teardown path.

This differs from #11542 and #11557: no reactive option update or query-function state write is needed. The repository's existing withEffectRoot helper also uses this non-component execution pattern, but does not assert observer disposal.

The scope should preserve #9810's eager async/SSR subscription behavior rather than revert it. A cleanup registered only once an effect executes would also need to account for the early-disposal case above. Is effect-root usage with an explicit client intended to remain supported? If so, would a lifecycle-only fix with these regression cases be in scope?
