+fix: The `label` and `route` fields in `useMenu().menuItems` were marked as deprecated, but they are not actually deprecated. This issue was caused by `menuItems` extending from `IResourceItem`, however, `menuItems` populates these fields and handles deprecation of these fields internally. This change removes the deprecation warning for these fields.
+
+```tsx
+export const Sider = () => {
+  const { menuItems } = useMenu();
+  menuItems.map((item) => {
+    // these are safe to use
+    console.log(item.label);
+    console.log(item.route);
+    item.children.map((child) => {
+      // these are safe to use
+      console.log(child.label);
+      console.log(child.route);
+    });
+  });
+
+  return <div>{/* ... */}</div>;
+};
+```
