Closes #2229.

The problem

On Nuxt 4 the module is skipped entirely:

WARN  Module vue-recaptcha is disabled due to incompatibility issues:

meta.compatibility pins nuxt: "^3.0.0", so Nuxt 4 treats the module as incompatible and never calls setup(). Nothing is registered: no components, no composables, no plugin.

The change

• meta.compatibility.nuxt becomes >=3.0.0, the form Nuxt's module authoring guide recommends for modules that support both majors.
• @nuxt/kit and @nuxt/schema accept ^3.9.1 || ^4.0.0.
• Added a nuxt4 keyword beside the existing nuxt3 one.

No other source changes: the module only uses defineNuxtModule, addComponent, addImports, addPlugin, createResolver, useLogger and useNuxt, all unchanged in kit 4.

Relation to #2228

That PR raises @nuxt/kit/@nuxt/schema to ^4.0.0 and moves the playground and docs to Nuxt 4, but it leaves meta.compatibility at ^3.0.0, so on its own it would not fix #2229: the module would still be disabled on Nuxt 4, and the range would also drop Nuxt 3 support. This PR is the one-line meta fix plus a range that keeps both majors working. The two can land in either order.

Verification

With packages/playground-nuxt, building the library first and then the playground:

nuxt	before	after
4.5.2	Module vue-recaptcha is disabled due to incompatibility issues, nothing registered	builds clean; RecaptchaCheckbox and useChallengeV2 present in .nuxt, plugin in the server bundle
3.21.11	builds clean	builds clean, same registrations

moon run vue-recaptcha:test-unit passes (2 files, 3 tests). moon run vue-recaptcha:lint fails on v3 as well, with tsconfig.json: Option 'moduleResolution=node10' has been removed, so that looks unrelated to this change.

I left the playground on Nuxt 3 so the lockfile stays untouched. Happy to bump it here instead, or to rebase on #2228 if you would rather take that first.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Nuxt module package now advertises Nuxt 4 support. Its Nuxt dependencies accept Nuxt 3 or Nuxt 4, and its compatibility declaration accepts Nuxt versions 3.0.0 and later.

Changes

Nuxt 4 compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Compatibility declarations packages/vue-recaptcha/package.json, packages/vue-recaptcha/src/nuxt.ts	The package adds the nuxt4 keyword, accepts @nuxt/kit and @nuxt/schema versions from Nuxt 3 or Nuxt 4, and changes the module compatibility constraint from ^3.0.0 to >=3.0.0.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 78ee0

Package installation in frozen-lockfile workflows can fail because the lockfile does not reflect the updated Nuxt dependency ranges. Update the importer entries before merging.

[Thorsrud22]

Good catch from the bot on the lockfile: the packages/vue-recaptcha importer still pinned ^3.9.1, which a frozen-lockfile install rejects (pnpm defaults to --frozen-lockfile under CI).

Updated just those two specifier lines by hand, leaving the resolved versions alone. Running the whole lockfile through pnpm install --lockfile-only here rewrote ~270 unrelated lines with my pnpm build, so I kept the diff to the two lines that actually changed. CI=true pnpm install --frozen-lockfile passes.
