Run server middleware on prerendered routes

[oripka]

Describe the feature

It would be beneficial to protect prerendered sites using a middleware. (see original issue here: nuxt/nuxt#28771 (comment) and the comment of @danielroe )

I understand that prerendered HTML is usually served as static files for performance and SEO, which explains why it's not protected by default.

For my private Nuxt Content site, users must authenticate before accessing it. Ideally, I would like to prerender Markdown at build time and serve the static HTML after checking permissions with middleware.

Astro has a similar discussion with more use cases: withastro/roadmap#869. Next seems to have something called partial prerendering: https://nextjs.org/learn/dashboard-app/partial-prerendering

Would it be possible to introduce a new routeRoule that prerenders but runs through the middleware when requesting the route?
