Run this rule

pnpm nuxt doctor --rules nuxt/async-data-explicit-key-for-refreshable

Why it matters

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

Recommended fix

Use the Nuxt-supported async data explicit key for refreshable pattern instead.
