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.

Interleaved runs on a shared runner: trust the deltas, not the absolute timings. The dev, restart and build suites run locally via pnpm bench:cli.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds environment-aware terminal branding with dark, light, and unknown background handling. It replaces the hard-coded themeColor export with paintBrand, updates nuxtIcon() to render colored lines dynamically, and applies the new utility to profile borders and Nuxt initialization output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 13e72

The PR centralizes terminal background detection and color selection; some saturated bright 256-color backgrounds may be classified as light and receive a less suitable brand-color variant. This is a bounded, non-blocking risk that merits owner confirmation or follow-up.

Add unit tests for the new theme-detection logic.

resolveBackground and paintBrand implement several branches (override env var, COLORFGBG parsing, color-depth fallback, NO_COLOR handling, truecolor RGB output). None of the provided files include tests for this new module. Add tests covering the override path, the COLORFGBG light/dark/unknown paths, and the NO_COLOR/low-color-depth fallback in paintBrand.
