Analysis

Why the bug existed:
The Renovate PR updated nuxt-start from ^2.14.3 to ^2.18.1 but failed to update the nuxt devDependency, which remained at ^2.14.3. This created a version mismatch where:

  • The build tool (nuxt devDependency) is version 2.14.3
  • The runtime/start package (nuxt-start) is version 2.18.1

Impact:
In Nuxt.js architecture, the build tool and runtime should be the same version to ensure compatibility. When they differ by minor/major versions, there's a risk of:

  1. Build output incompatibility with the runtime
  2. Features or fixes in the newer runtime version (2.18.1) not being compatible with the older build tool (2.14.3)
  3. Potential subtle bugs or runtime errors when using newer runtime features that the build tool doesn't support

The fix:
Updated the nuxt devDependency from ^2.14.3 to ^2.18.1 to match the nuxt-start dependency version. This ensures:

  • Both packages resolve to compatible versions (2.18.1)
  • Build output will be compatible with the runtime
  • No version mismatch between build and runtime environments
