📚 Description

follows up on #1488

when nuxt/devtools (v3) asks for permissions, it prints a logger.box with a URL to open and a token to paste:

╭─── Permission Request ─────────────────────────────╮
│ A browser is requesting permissions of writing     │
│ files and running commands from the DevTools UI.   │
│ ...                                                │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

currently that gets hidden in the logs. likewise, startup warnings from the CLI itself are hidden.

this PR feeds both through the held-notice path #1488 added for notify(): the box is written above the panel, where its URL and token can be read and copied, and an ACTION badge takes the status badge's place until any keypress acknowledges it.

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The dev TUI normalizes and deduplicates boxed notices. Boxed notices render as held ACTION prompts. Startup CLI warnings render as held WARNING prompts. Held notices clear on keypress or teardown. Terminal hosting supports serialized borrowing, task tracking, notifications, and panel suspension. Session teardown flushes deferred output. Tests cover these behaviors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 03949

Permission prompts may still be hidden or lose their actionable presentation when combined with another event, preventing users from seeing required URLs or tokens; the PR also lacks a test proving notices appear above the panel, so this should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

230-235: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep prompt deduplication separate from error and warning deduplication.

When event is a prompt, this matcher also accepts any recent candidate.level <= 1. If the same Error: or Warning: message was already stored as an error or warning, sameMessage(...) merges the boxed prompt into that non-prompt event. The session then does not receive a new box event, so it can hide the ACTION prompt and its token or URL.

Restrict prompt events to isPrompt(candidate) matches. Restrict non-prompt events to candidate.level <= 1. Add a regression where the non-prompt event is stored first.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert that the notice is above the panel.

Line 2063 only verifies that the token was written. A renderer that writes the boxed notice below the panel also passes this test. Compare the final token position with the final "Nuxt 4.5.2" panel header, and assert that the token precedes the panel.

Proposed test update
-      await vi.waitFor(() => expect(strip(written())).toContain('gXSptCzfAzS2Lfgy'))
+      await vi.waitFor(() => {
+        const output = strip(written())
+        expect(output).toContain('gXSptCzfAzS2Lfgy')
