Install footprint and published tarball
Each version installed on its own into an empty project with nothing but @nuxt/cli as a dependency, so the tree is exactly the CLI and its transitive dependencies. npm cache is warm and the registry is only consulted for metadata, so install wall time is indicative, not a network benchmark.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe CLI replaces Youch-based development error rendering with a structured error channel. The channel supports HTTP error pages, terminal reports, build progress, JSONL output, and BroadcastChannel forwarding. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new development error channel can keep intercepting a former custom route after configuration changes, and its listener can remain active after shutdown.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Reset the channel path when configuration removes it.
After a reload from a custom devServer.errorChannel to no valid value, this branch leaves #errorChannel and NUXT_DEV_ERROR_CHANNEL set to the old path. The request handler then continues to intercept that path, so an app route at that path remains unreachable after the config change. Reset both values to DEFAULT_ERROR_CHANNEL when resolveChannelPath returns undefined.
Proposed fix
const configured = resolveChannelPath(devServer.errorChannel)
- if (configured) {
- this.#errorChannel = configured
- process.env[ERROR_CHANNEL_ENV] = configured
- }
+ this.#errorChannel = configured ?? DEFAULT_ERROR_CHANNEL
+ process.env[ERROR_CHANNEL_ENV] = this.#errorChannel📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

📚 Description
Note
this is a work-in-progress!
this adopts
my-badfor dev-time errors and dropsyouch.we now have a single live error channel, at the cli level, so it will survive worker restarts and can publish the errors visible 'outside' of nuxt, or that cause nuxt to fail to start
it's mounted at
devServer.errorChannel(default/__nuxt_dev__/error), and the app forwards the reports it builds over anuxt:dev:errorbroadcast channel. we setNUXT_DEV_ERROR_CHANNELso it only forwards when we're actually in front of it (so programmatic use of nuxt continues to work, if anyone is using that)two implications:
nuxt.config(or similar fatal error) we just serve the error as a page and live reload the error page when it's fixed
