…on mismatch Fixes TanStack#6077 flexRender returns '' for columns whose cell/header renders an empty string. During SSR the server emits no text node, but Vue's hydration expects one, causing a mismatch error. Treat the empty string like null/undefined and return null so server and client agree.

Normalize direct empty-string render values.
flexRender('') returns '', while only function results are normalized to null. Normalize direct empty strings before the function branch and add regression tests for both paths.
