[Bug]: Inline HTML <script> tags get removed from DOM in rendered story

[basher]

Describe the bug

I'm creating a new UI component library for an existing web app in Storybook/HTML.

Component HTML contains inline <script> tags, which are getting stripped out of story DOM:

These inline scripts need to be detectable via document.querySelector() inside global script, which are loaded inside preview-head.html.

They're returning null.

Is there a reason why inline scripts get removed from DOM???

Reproduction steps

1. Load the story from reproduction link.
2. Scripts executing via preview-head.html cannot find inline script tags inside story DOM.
