Conversation
`getPkgVersion` is the first thing the dev panel calls, and it reached `tryResolveNuxt` through `utils/kit`, which reaches `utils/paths` and from there the logger and `@clack/prompts`, so reading a version number loaded the kit loader and the whole logging stack with it. `tryResolveNuxt` and `withNodePath` now live in a module that imports nothing but `exsolve`, and every caller reaches them there.

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.

In `@packages/nuxt-cli/src/boot.ts`:
- Line 29: Update bootDevUI around setupDevUI to install a temporary one-shot
SIGINT handler that exits with status 130 during early startup, and always
remove it in a finally block once setupDevUI completes or fails.
- Around line 21-29: Wrap the dynamic imports and setupDevUI call after
paintFirstFrame in a try/catch, and close start.surface in the catch before
rethrowing the original error so launcher failure handling can continue
correctly.
In `@packages/nuxt-cli/test/unit/dev-tui.spec.ts`:
- Line 1939: Update the test around PanelSurface.renderAtBottom to retain the
instance, perform its write assertions inside the try block, and close the
surface before restoring the write spy in finally. Preserve the existing
footer-output assertions while ensuring cleanup writes are excluded and the
surface’s stderr guard and resize listener are released.

Keep early dev startup cancellable.
bootDevUI() installs the session SIGINT handler before bin/nuxi.mjs imports dist/index.mjs and calls runMain(). That handler only calls teardown({ keep: true }), so it suppresses Node’s default exit without stopping startup. runMain() can therefore continue after Ctrl-C until setupSignalHandlers() runs inside the dev command.
Install a temporary terminating handler around setupDevUI() and remove it after command startup takes ownership:
Suggested fix
- await setupDevUI(devShortcutContext().context, { ...options, start })
+ const onEarlyInterrupt = () => process.exit(130)
+ process.once('SIGINT', onEarlyInterrupt)
+ try {
+ await setupDevUI(devShortcutContext().context, { ...options, start })
+ }
+ finally {
+ process.off('SIGINT', onEarlyInterrupt)

‼️ 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.

A frame painted from the entry with nothing behind it would keep its stream guards and resize listener, and a rejection there took the whole command down with it.
