Reproduction

Just updated to nuxt 4.4.2 and npm to 11. Looking for new modules, I found hints. I did "npx nuxt module add hints".

Describe the bug

After running the install command, I got message:

■ Error [ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED]: No "exports" main defined in C:...\node_modules@nuxt\hints\package.json
│
◇ Install failed for @nuxt/hints@1.0.0. Do you want to continue adding the module to nuxt.config?
│ No

So I ran the command again:

Resolved @nuxt/hints, adding module...
│
● @nuxt/hints is already installed
│
● Adding @nuxt/hints to the modules

Somehow hints is installed, and it works. Maybe a bug ?

Additional context

No response

Hey 👋 thanks for the report.
This is actually a bug within nypm which nuxt CLI uses when adding modules. Manuall installation should work.
