fix(create-cloudflare): pin h3 to ^1 in the Nuxt template so Cloudflare bindings work in dev with pnpm

[lucasmzz]

Hotfix for fixing a regression in the Nuxt (Workers) template for pnpm users — no existing issue filed. Upstream PR to be opened to nitro-cloudflare-dev for fixing the root cause.

Problem

Scaffolding a project with pnpm create cloudflare@latest → Nuxt currently produces an app where event.context.cloudflare is
undefined in every server route during nuxt dev, so D1/KV/R2 bindings are unreachable in local development:

// server/api/hello.ts
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const { DB } = event.context.cloudflare.env;
  // TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'env')

Root cause

The template's configure step installs a bare h3 for pnpm users (so the H3EventContext augmentation in the shipped env.d.ts
can resolve h3 under pnpm's isolated, non-hoisting node_modules layout). h3's latest npm dist-tag now points at the 2.x release
candidates (2.0.1-rc.23 at the time of writing; the v1 line lives under the 1x tag), so this installs h3@2.0.1-rc.x as a direct
devDependency while Nuxt 4 / nitropack 2.x run on h3@^1.15.11.

With two h3 majors installed, Nitro's auto-import layer resolves the bare h3 specifier from the project root (v2), while the server
app itself runs on nitropack's nested v1. The generated dev bundle (.nuxt/dev/index.mjs) imports from both copies. The
nitro-cloudflare-dev request hook then calls h3 v2's getRequestURL(event) on an h3 v1 event, which throws TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'url') before it assigns event.context.cloudflare. Nitro swallows request-hook errors
(callHook("request", event).catch(captureError)), so the request proceeds without bindings and the user's route crashes instead.

Fix

Install h3@^1, matching the h3 major that nitropack depends on. Pinning (rather than dropping the pnpm-only install) is deliberate:
without a root-level h3, the declare module "h3" augmentation in env.d.ts no longer resolves under pnpm, and
event.context.cloudflare loses its types — which is why the template installs h3 in the first place.

• Tests
  • Tests included/updated
  • Automated tests not possible - manual testing has been completed as follows: scaffolded a Nuxt project with pnpm, confirmed
    the generated package.json gets "h3": "^1.15.11", the dev bundle references only h3@1.15.11, and a server route reading
    event.context.cloudflare.env (D1 query) returns results in nuxt dev. Also confirmed event.context.cloudflare typing still
    resolves.
  • Additional testing not necessary because:
• Public documentation
  • Cloudflare docs PR(s):
  • Documentation not necessary because: this restores documented behavior of the C3 Nuxt template; no user-facing API change.

Two small notes:

• The compare link may show the branch as lucasmzz:workers-sdk:c3-nuxt-pin-h3-v1 depending on how GitHub renders fork branches —
  either way, the "Create pull request" button from the link in your push output
  (https://github.com/lucasmzz/workers-sdk/pull/new/c3-nuxt-pin-h3-v1) targets cloudflare/workers-sdk main by default.
• Their contributing guide asks that non-trivial changes start with an issue; this is a one-line dependency pin fixing a regression,
  so the PR itself serving as the discussion is reasonable — but if you'd rather be safe, you can file a short bug issue first and swap
  its number into the "Fixes #" line.

I just tried out the prerelease and I see v2.0.1-rc.23 of h3 in the devDependencies. What steps did you take to verify the fix?
