The deployment log output of npm run generate on Netlify is misleading. Its build step output shows the following two lines of messages:

3:18:57 PM: [success] [nitro] You can preview this build using `npx serve .output/static`
3:18:57 PM: [success] You can now deploy `dist` to any static hosting!

It makes you think that the publish directory is .output/static, but it is not the case.

The correct build settings for Netlify is as follows:

• Build command: npm run generate
• Publish directory: dist
