NUXT0019Nested composables are not auto-imported by default

Flags nested autoimport assumption in Nuxt composables code before it leaks into runtime behavior.

Why it happens

Auto-imports are global within a project. Explicit names and imports prevent local code from shadowing framework composables.

Fix

Remove nested autoimport assumption, or move it to the Nuxt runtime/API that owns that behavior.

Example

Export nested composables explicitly

Before

// app/composables/nested/useThing.ts
export function useThing() {
  return useState('thing')
}

After

// app/composables/useThing.ts
export { useThing } from './nested/useThing'

Verify the fix
