NUXT0039Do not treat immediate:false async data as manual-only

Why it happens

Nuxt data fetching relies on stable keys, payload serialization, and request context. Bypassing those contracts can duplicate requests or lose SSR data.

Fix

Remove manual action useFetch, or move it to the Nuxt runtime/API that owns that behavior.

Example

Use $fetch for manual mutations

Before

const { execute } = await useFetch('/api/orders', {
  method: 'POST',
  immediate: false,
})

After

async function submitOrder() {
  await $fetch('/api/orders', { method: 'POST' })
}
