📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The React, Solid, and Vue Link components now check modifier keys inline. The unused isCtrlEvent helpers are removed. A changeset marks patch releases for all three router packages.

Changes

Link modifier checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Inline modifier handling and release metadata packages/*-router/src/link.tsx, .changeset/ten-ants-chew.md	The three Link click handlers check Meta, Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys directly. The unused isCtrlEvent helpers are removed. The changeset records patch releases. Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: schiller-manuel

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 79e2d

The PR only inlines existing modifier-key checks in the Link components; the changeset description should be updated for accuracy, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.
