Remove meta tag created for ember engine in index.html

Question

I can see meta tag about the config information of the app can be removed from being stored in index.html through this answer.

I need the same to be done for my ember-engine. Currently, this is how my index.html looks. It contains the two meta tags: one about the engine's environment.js and the other about the asset-manifest.json.

<meta name="inventory/config/environment" content="%7B%22modulePrefix%22%3A%22inventory%22%2C%22environment%22%3A%22development%22%7D" />
 <meta name="app/config/asset-manifest" content="%7B%22bundles%22%3A%7B%22inventory%22%3A%7B%22assets%22%3A%5B%5D%7D%7D%7D" />

I think your best bet here is creating an in-repo-addon because addons have access to a postprocessTree method. It's going to require getting into the Broccoli build though and messing with the html output and I'm not sure exactly what that will look like.

ember g in-repo-addon remove-engine-config

//lib/remove-engine-config/index.js 
'use strict';

module.exports = {
  name: require('./package').name,

  postprocessTree(type, tree) {
    //console.log(type, tree)
    if (type === 'html') { //just guessing on html, it could have a different name
      //do some broccoli manipulation to target and remove the meta tag
      return fancyBroccoli(tree);
    }
  }
};

I'd recommend getting familiar with VS Code and it's excelent debugger because that will let you inspect things as they come into that method, or you can just put a console.log(type, tree) and see what shakes out to start.
