fix(query-core): keep a placeholder that select maps to undefined - #12575
If the previous result was a placeholder, createResult reuses prevResult.data, which select has already run on. When select returned undefined, the result dropped back to pending, and the next call built the placeholder again. Since #12230, useQuery calls getOptimisticResult and setOptions on every render, so it kept flipping between the two.
Now a memoized placeholder stays a placeholder no matter what select returned, the same as on the non-memoized path.
I added one QueryObserver test and one useQuery test. Both fail on main without the fix.
I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
I have followed the AI contribution policy and fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.
🚀 Release Impact
This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Fixed query results using keepPreviousData when a selector returns undefined. Reused placeholder results now remain successful and marked as placeholder data, even though the selected data is undefined.
Fixed placeholder handling when a query is disabled after its key changes. Reused previous data retains its placeholder status, while a newly computed placeholder that returns undefined remains pending.
QueryObserver now retains placeholder-success status when it reuses placeholder data whose selected value is undefined. Regression tests cover observer and React hook behavior when a key changes to a disabled query.

A reused placeholder result remains successful when its selected value is undefined. Observer and hook tests cover disabled-query cases. A changeset declares a patch release for @tanstack/query-core.

Explanation
PASS. Issue #12574 requires a disabled query with placeholderData: keepPreviousData and select returning undefined to settle as status: 'success', isPlaceholderData: true, and data: undefined. QueryObserver.createResult now preserves the memoized placeholder state when selected data is undefined. The added QueryObserver and useQuery tests verify repeated updates and the disabled-query case.

The text check can pass if the hook settles with status: 'pending' and isPlaceholderData: false. Add a hook test that asserts status, isPlaceholderData, and data after the key change. Keep the data-only test as well, because reading more result properties changes which properties the hook tracks.
