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.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe local spinner utility now handles progress indicators in project creation and CLI workflows. In non-TTY or CI conditions, it can log distinct progress messages and completion status without terminal output. The CLI also adds Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A color-capable test environment may fail the help test, and a failed upgrade cleanup can appear as a success in plain output. These bounded issues should be corrected, but do not establish a broader workflow failure. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new progress rendering does not show a new security-sensitive destination, but completing a CLI task can disable terminal input mode owned by the development UI. That may disrupt its key handling and interruption behavior. Retained concerns

Review comments at @packages/nuxt-cli/src/commands/upgrade.ts:
- Line 356: Update the build-directory cleanup failure branch to call
cleanupSpinner.error with the existing failure message instead of
cleanupSpinner.stop, so non-TTY and CI output reports an error. Keep
cleanupSpinner.stop for successful cleanup.
Review comments at @packages/nuxt-cli/test/unit/help.spec.ts:
- Line 536: In the test case “should drop ANSI styling when stdout does not
support colour,” mock stdout.hasColors() to return false so showUsage runs under
the no-color condition, then restore the original method after the test.
