Reproduction

StackBlitz fork with important files

I can't share the entire project, but I'll be happy to send individual files of interest if it helps solve the problem

Describe the bug

After importing the vue-multiselect library, an error began to occur on every page of the site, this has happened dozens of times before, but the problem magically disappeared or was replaced by another more serious one (see Additional Context)

It looks like a problem with DevTools, but none of the attempts to disable it in development mode have been successful, both in terms of disabling DevTools and in terms of fixing the error.

Additional context

The problem only appears in the browser window, I tried to localize the individual file causing the problem. I can point out that the problem is not related to the /server and /pages directories and is most likely either in the dependencies or in the nuxt.config.ts configuration.

In addition to this, I also previously encountered the “isCE” (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/13117) problem, which was solved through “optimizeDeps”

Actions like clearing the cache, regenerating or reinstalling previously did not help

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and inspect the browser stack in vue-router.js around the __vrv_devtools assignment. Compare the nuxt.config.ts and dependency setup, including vue-multiselect and optimizeDeps, while checking whether DevTools is involved. Done means the reproduction initializes in the browser without the reported TypeError.
