cy.intercept() logs do not display as expected

describe("Test mocking of api requests using route2", () => {
    it("Launch Website and mock meta.json api using route2", () => {
        cy.fixture("meta.json").as("meta.json.mock.response");
        // cy.route2("GET","**/meta.json","@meta.json.mock.response");
        cy.route2(
            "GET",
            "**/meta.json",
            `{
            "loggedIn": true,
            "displayName": "vivek",
            "clubActive": false,
            "flybuysLinked": false,
            "cartItemCount": "100",
            "wishlistItemCount": 1,
            "messageCount": 0
        }`
        );
        homePage.navigateToUrl("https://www.catch.com.au/");
        //WHEN PAGE IS LOADED THE CART COUNT SHOULD BE = 100
    });
});

So couple of issues here:

1. When I supply the mock json file using alias, the mocking of “/meta.json” doesn’t happen. However when I supply the whole response body it works.
2. As can be seen in the attached image, when the mocking happens by supplying the response explicitly, the time travel doesn’t indicate it as a (xhr stub)

});

Thanks so much @flotwig , this worked perfectly. wrt the second part, the issue is that in the time travel window if an xhr is stubbed it shows (xhr stub). However even on successfully stubbing using the solution you provided the time travel window doesn’t depict that the request has been stubbed. As you can see in the attached snapshot it simply says (xhr) for /meta.json call. It should depict (xhr stub)
