📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughUpdated Nuxt CLI documentation for template generation, module installation and removal, profiling, cleanup, preview ports, and typechecker selection. Added CLI overview content and Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to The documentation currently gives an incorrect Node.js support range and incomplete or misleading CLI usage details, which could lead users to unsupported environments or incorrect commands. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

In `@docs/add-template.md`:
- Around line 78-80: Update the modifier flags list under “nuxt add-template
plugin” to add a space between the inline `--client` code span and the word
“or,” so they render as separate tokens.
In `@docs/add.md`:
- Around line 39-43: Update docs/add.md lines 39-43 to qualify dependency
installation and package.json changes as occurring unless --skipInstall is set,
and nuxt.config updates as occurring unless --skipConfig is set. Update
docs/module.md line 44 to qualify uninstallation with unless --skipInstall and
nuxt.config module removal with unless --skipConfig.
- Around line 13-22: Update the add command usage and MODULENAME argument
documentation to mark the module name as optional and state that omitting it
opens the interactive module selector. Make the action summary conditional so it
only mentions dependency changes when --skipInstall is absent and configuration
updates when --skipConfig is absent.
In `@docs/build.md`:
- Line 35: Update the preset option documentation in the synopsis and option
table to show its string value placeholder as --preset=<preset>, keeping
both entries consistent.
In `@docs/typecheck.md`:
- Line 17: Update the typecheck documentation sentence describing the
missing-checker behavior to limit the installation prompt claim to interactive
terminals, and state that non-TTY invocations print installation instructions
and exit without prompting.
- Around line 13-14: Update the npx nuxt typecheck usage synopsis to document
--checker as a string option accepting vue-tsc or golar, using the value-taking
form --checker=<vue-tsc|golar> rather than a valueless flag.

Keep the preset value in the synopsis and option table.
preset is a string option, but both entries omit its value placeholder. Use --preset=<preset>.

Show the value required by --checker.
Document --checker as [--checker=<vue-tsc|golar>]. The option is a string that accepts vue-tsc or golar, not a valueless flag.

Limit the install prompt claim to interactive terminals.
When no checker is installed, the CLI prompts for installation only in an interactive terminal. In non-TTY mode, it prints installation instructions and exits without prompting.
