Is router.tsx a magic file ? Is it hardcoded on Tanstack router ?

Is src/router.tsx treated as a special file ?
In the Authenticated Routes example, there is no router.tsx, only a main.tsx

But when I try to use only the main.tsx file, the app breaks with a very obscure message
error when starting dev server:
