Using the bundled Rspack html plugin with a custom template script tags cannot be injected.

      new rspack.HtmlRspackPlugin({
        inject: false,
        chunks: ['main', 'vendor'],
        template: 'web-config/rspack.green.template.html',
      }),

Html template

<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.tags.headTags %>

The features of rspack.HtmlRspackPlugin are a subset of html-webpack-plugin.

rspack.HtmlRspackPlugin does not inject the htmlWebpackPlugin.tags.headTags variable to template, if your current project depend on this, you can use html-webpack-plugin instead.

See https://www.rspack.dev/plugins/rspack/html-rspack-plugin for details.
