Reproduction

Description

There's an error when I try to generate a static build using Github Actions: Error: [unhandledRejection] queryCollection is not defined

It is in the prerendering stage

Additional context

I've been upgrading my static site from Nuxt v3 to v4 and @nuxt/content v2 to v3. I also moved to bun from node+pnpm. I tried using node.js in action and had the same error. It was ok with queryContent before, prerendering worked and CI deployment worked well.

The type: 'site-config' option in your content.config.ts file might not be a valid option, as the type can only either be "data" or "page" according to the docs. Maybe changing that to a valid value fixes it?
