Receive error when running artisan route:cache command 'Unable to prepare route [api/v1/results/search] for serialization. Another route has already been assigned name [api.results.search]'

I am running the latest version Laravel Orion (^2.23), and it works very well so far! I am having an issue when running the php artisan route:cache command (or running the optimize command which runs the route commands).

  Environment .......
  Laravel Version ............ 11.41.3  
  PHP Version ................. 8.4.3  
  Composer Version ....... 2.8.4  

I get the following error :

Unable to prepare route [api/v1/results/search] for serialization. Another route has already been assigned name [api.results.search]

In my app.php if I comment out line 11 the error goes away, but I guess that isn't the correct way to sort this problem - any ideas?

<?php

use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
//        api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php',
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
        channels: __DIR__.'/../routes/channels.php',
        health: '/up',
        then: function () {
            Route::middleware('api')
                ->prefix('api/v1')
                ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
        },
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        //
    })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        //
    })->create();

I can see the problem when I run artisan route:list - I have a duplicate set of endpoints, but like I said removing the line above in app.php fixes this - am I doing this the correct way?

Fixed this - I removed this in app.php

//        api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php',
