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.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 0 remain after this review. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe development loading client now performs sequential polling with bounded backoff, abort handling, startup title updates, and guarded reloads. The loading page provides the polling limit. The dev server adds a warmup gate for the first document render and rearms it after initialization. The TUI excludes internal request failures from application error reporting. Unit and end-to-end tests cover these behaviors. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to The change serializes the initial document request to reduce concurrent first renders, but the first request still bypasses the configured polling delay, so development startup timing may not honor configuration. This is a bounded risk suitable for owner follow-up rather than a merge blocker. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

descriptors to delete each mocked process.stdout or process.stdin property when
its original descriptor was absent, while continuing to restore existing
descriptors. Apply this to the relevant keys in the saved collection and the
isTTY/setRawMode handling so later tests see the original terminal state.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Make pollInterval delay the first request.
Line 20 states that pollInterval delays the first request. Line 119 invokes attempt() immediately. The delay only applies after the first request completes.
Schedule the initial attempt with setTimeout. Update the timestamp expectations in packages/nuxt-cli/test/unit/loading-client.spec.ts.
Proposed fix
- void attempt()+ setTimeout(attempt, wait)Also applies to: 115-119

📚 Description
at the moment, we poll the loading page until the app is ready, but this could potential leave lots of concurrent renders of the same expensive first render
so we now gates that first render to just one document request at a time
