NUXT0048Use middleware to/from arguments instead of useRoute

Why it happens

Navigation helpers only work correctly in the runtime they were designed for. Returning the navigation result keeps redirects and aborts observable to Nuxt.

Fix

Remove useRoute in middleware, or move it to the Nuxt runtime/API that owns that behavior.

Example

Use middleware arguments

Before

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(() => {
  const route = useRoute()
  if (!route.meta.auth) return
})

After

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to) => {
  if (!to.meta.auth) return
})
