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 capture system now supports configurable minimum fetch latency for stubbed and real requests. The Nuxt initialization capture enables a 250 ms delay and preloads the fetch stub. Spinner scrubbing removes trailing dot runs from normalized spinner lines. Recording now merges capture and ambient NODE_OPTIONS. The Nuxt initialization output updates its styles identifier.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c2377

Failed reads or delegated fetches can still bypass the configured delay, leaving spinner recordings timing-dependent and allowing CI flakes to continue; merge should wait until error paths honor the same latency floor.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply the latency floor before propagating errors.

If readFileSync fails at Line 24 or realFetch rejects at Line 32, the function exits before it awaits settled. Failed requests therefore bypass the documented minimum latency and can still produce timing-dependent recordings. Wrap both branches in try/finally and await settled in the finally block.

Proposed fix
-  for (const [prefix, file] of stubs) {
-    if (url.startsWith(prefix)) {
-      const body = readFileSync(file, 'utf8')
-      await settled
-      return new Response(body, {
-        status: 200,
-        headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
-      })
+  try {
+    for (const [prefix, file] of stubs) {
+      if (url.startsWith(prefix)) {
+        const body = readFileSync(file, 'utf8')
+        return new Response(body, {
+          status: 200,
+          headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
+        })
+      }
     }
+    return await realFetch(input, init)
+  }
+  finally {
+    await settled
   }
-  const response = await realFetch(input, init)
-  await settled
-  return response
