Svelte 5: Custom element's default <slot> not created when no initial children are passed

[CLDXiang]

Describe the bug

When Svelte creates a custom element, if no child elements are initially passed in, the default <slot> tag will not be created, causing subsequently added child elements to not be rendered in the slot.

It seems that this part might be responsible:

svelte/packages/svelte/src/internal/client/dom/elements/custom-element.js

Line 267 in f579a3b

result[/** @type {Element} node */ (node).slot || 'default'] = true;

Hope this helps with troubleshooting the issue.
