vee validate cannot be used with SSR

[userquin]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using vee-validate (with zod via Nuxt module) with Vuetify 3 in a Nuxt 3 layer: when generating the project (via nuxi generate), Nuxt will use SSR and the generation fails, there are some window references.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just remove window, for example, there are no references to window in throttle function.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Apply a pnpm patch to dist/vee-validate.esm.js, a tedious task since we need to apply the patch every time a new version is released:

package.json

"pnpm": {
    "patchedDependencies": {
      "vee-validate@4.10.2": "patches/vee-validate@4.10.2.patch"
    }
  }

patches/vee-validate@4.10.2.patch

I'll send a PR but on my Windows laptop running pnpm build fails; you should also review the contributing guide, instructions using yarn/npm instead pnpm:
