NUXT_HOME_URL doesn't work if the dashboard is open and you click on the sink logo.

I would expect that with this, reaching the homepage by any means would work. Right now it only works if you browse the homepage on the browser or on a reload. Not by clicking on the logo on the dashboard for example.

📖 From docs:
The NUXT_HOME_URL redirect is handled server-side in server/middleware/1.redirect.ts (line 56-57). The docs at docs/configuration/index.md describe it as: "Non-empty URL redirects /; empty shows the Sink homepage." But the redirect only triggers on full page loads — not on client-side navigation.

🔧 Root cause:
The dashboard logo uses <NuxtLink to="/"> in app/components/dashboard/sidebar/AppSidebar.vue:56, which performs client-side SPA navigation to /. This renders the app/pages/index.vue component without hitting the Nitro server middleware, so the NUXT_HOME_URL redirect never fires. A fix would need to either make the logo link perform a full browser navigation (e.g. <a href="/"> instead of <NuxtLink to="/">) or handle the redirect client-side.
