Reproduction

https://github.com/jip149/nuxt-content-fetchNavigation-bug

Describe the bug

When content dir has both a _dir.yml and index.md file, metadata from _dir.yml is used, and metadata from index.md can't be found in the navigation.

If the index.md file is removed, metadata from _dir.yml can't be found in the navigation.

Subdirectories work as expected, see the example directory in the repo above.

Did you sove this?

Why do you need both _dir.yml and index.md in top level? _dir.yml file mainly exists to provide information when index.md is missing.
