Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with TanStack Devtools 0.9.2, React 19.2, Playwright, and query devtools configured with defaultOpen: true. Compare Playwright selections with the devtools enabled and hidden; done means the devtools remains usable while selectors for application IDs no longer select devtools content.

Description
TanStack Devtools version
0.9.2
Framework/Library version
React v19.2
Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it
We just recently upgraded from using @tanstack/react-query-devtools and @tanstack/react-router-devtools to integrating them into the new @tanstack/react-devtools. However, this upgrade started to fail our Playwright E2E tests that did selections for IDs of items since they also show up in the query devtools when using defaultOpen: true. This lead us on a bit of a goose chase before realizing it was the devtools getting selected. This is obviously only a problem when doing tests locally with the devtools enables, but it is something we do quite often. For now setting defaultOpen: false on all plugins work, but it feels like a sad workaround. display: none on the #tanstack_devtools also work, but that breaks opening it without even more nasty hacks.
