The shared takeover logic and lock format now support preview servers, while dev commands use the renamed takeover function. Tests and documentation cover port selection, takeover decisions, lock recording, and command options. Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to Preview and start now pick ports, honor strictPort, and can take over an existing preview server. The changes are covered by tests. No unresolved defect remains from the earlier review: the preview lock is released when the child process exits, and takeover re-checks the lock before stopping a process. The change looks ready to merge. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Preview gains authority to stop existing processes. Local lock metadata does not establish that those processes belong to the preview, and concurrent startup can lose server ownership tracking. The exposure is local and limited by the invoking account’s permissions; no remote attack path was established. Retained concerns

- Around line 280-325: Update recordPreview and the child-preview flow that
calls x so the acquired lock is released in a finally block whenever x settles,
including on rejection; retain process-exit cleanup for static previews.
Preserve the lock update with the child PID when available.

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.

🟡 Minor · Do not signal a stale preview child PID. · takeover.ts:171-184
packages/nuxt-cli/src/dev/takeover.ts:171-184
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winDo not signal a stale preview child PID.
tinyexec@1.3.1resolvesawait serverfrom the childcloseevent. The preview lock remains until the CLI owner exits. A takeover can pass the live-owner and occupied-port checks, then wait beforeperformTakeoversignals the cached PIDs. If the child exits and its PID is reused,signalAllcan terminate an unrelated process. The lock stores only the numericserverPid, so it cannot identify the original child.Release the preview lock when the child closes, and re-read the lock immediately before signalling.

Closes #1566
📚 Description
This PR implements better port handling for the
preview(andstart) command and mirrors how it is handled indevfor most parts, except:node_modules/.cache/nuxt/preview/to coordinate processes locally instead of.nuxt/likedevdoes because preview doesn't do anything in.nuxt/and.build/would be overridden bynuxt build.serverPidand thepidbecause it spawns a child process for the HTTP server, so we need to stop both or we get an orphaned process..nuxt/), we allow to start a second process on another process ("Start anyway"option).All the option (
--takeover,--no-takeover, and--strictPort) are added topreview(and thereforestartas well) exactly like they work ondev.I wanted to reuse
takeOverDevServer, so I refactored it totakeOverServerwith acommandoption.
