Judge Nemotron 3 Ultra advisory program-bug · low

Both the original and fixed programs fail with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND because neither '@vue/shared' nor 'vue' is installed in the execution environment. The oracle's observed difference is caused by the missing third-party package, not by the rewrite itself.

Explanation Nemotron 3 Super unverified

The original import targets @vue/shared, which contains only utility functions like isRef without Vue’s reactivity system; replacing it with vue imports the full framework where isRef may behave differently or trigger side effects during module evaluation. Since the program does not use any Vue-specific features beyond isRef, but the module resolution now fails because vue is not installed (whereas @vue/shared was), the error shifts from missing @vue/shared to missing vue—indicating the dependency graph changed. Even if both packages existed, importing vue could initialize global state or plugins absent in @vue/shared, altering runtime behavior despite identical source code structure. Thus, the rewrite is not semantics-preserving due to differing module semantics and potential initialization effects.

Description

 Enforce importing Vue's public entry point instead of internal Vue packages.

 The `@vue/runtime-dom`, `@vue/runtime-core`, `@vue/reactivity`, and `@vue/shared` packages are internal implementation packages. Their public exports should be imported from `vue` instead.

Examples

Invalid

 ```js,expect_diagnostic
 import { computed } from "@vue/reactivity";
 ```

 ```js,expect_diagnostic
 export * from "@vue/shared";
 ```

Valid

 ```js
 import { computed } from "vue";
 import { internalOnly } from "@vue/reactivity";
 ```
