Same-route navigation unnecessarily triggers loading state

Reproduction

const navigation = useNavigation();

console.log(navigation.state);

Dashboard

Demo: https://sabzidev-visionui-dashboard.vercel.app/

System Info

npx envinfo --system --npmPackages '{vite,react-router,@react-router/*}' --binaries --browsers

Used Package Manager

npm

Expected Behavior

When navigating to the route that is already active, I expect no navigation loading state:

idle → idle

For example, clicking "" while already on "/dashboard" should not trigger "loading".

Actual Behavior

Clicking a link to the current route triggers:

idle → loading → idle

even though the URL and route remain unchanged.

This is especially noticeable when using the View Transition API.
