NUXT0044Place app directories under app/
Finds Nuxt project code that should use the supported app directory placement pattern instead.
vite-doctor/nuxtarchitectureinfoSuggestion
Why it happens
Nuxt 4 scans app code under app/. Keeping legacy top-level directories can make ownership unclear and diverge from the current directory contract.
Fix
Use the Nuxt-supported app directory placement pattern instead.
Example
Place app files in app directory
Before
pages/index.vue
components/AppHeader.vue
After
app/pages/index.vue
app/components/AppHeader.vue
