feat(devtools): surface the auth code through the Nuxt CLI terminal host

[antfubot]

Part of #1080.

When the running Nuxt exposes a terminal host (useTerminal in @nuxt/kit >= 4.6, nuxt/nuxt#36162), the Vite DevTools client-auth code is surfaced through it instead of the default stdout box:

• Nuxt CLI 4 TUI: a sticky, dismissible notice in the TUI chrome. Each code rotation retracts the previous notice, and onTrusted retracts the final one once the code exchange succeeds.
• No TUI attached (older CLI, CI, non-TTY): useTerminal().notify falls back to a plain boxed log, so nothing is lost.
• Older @nuxt/kit without useTerminal: the banner is left unset and Vite DevTools' own stdout banner keeps printing, exactly as today. The feature check is a dynamic import, so no hard dependency on newer kit.

banner is live today against @vitejs/devtools 0.7.4 (vitejs/devtools#548). onTrusted exists in devframe's createInteractiveAuth (devframes/devframe#291) but is not yet forwarded from the devtools config by @vitejs/devtools; it is set here regardless so the notice starts auto-retracting as soon as upstream forwards it (issue filed upstream).

User-supplied banner/onTrusted in vite.devtools config still win (??=).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds createTerminalAuthBanner for displaying client-auth codes and URLs through Nuxt's terminal host. The banner dismisses previous notices when codes rotate and dismisses the active notice after trust. module-main.ts uses this banner when @nuxt/kit provides useTerminal, while preserving existing configuration and stdout fallback behavior. Tests cover notice creation and dismissal.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0fecd

After successful authentication, the terminal authorization notice remains visible instead of retracting. This is a bounded UI regression, but the integration should be corrected or deferred.

Forward onTrusted before relying on this assignment.

The preceding comment states that @vitejs/devtools does not forward this configuration field to createInteractiveAuth. This assignment only changes the local config object. After authentication succeeds, createTerminalAuthBanner.onTrusted will not run and the final sticky notice remains visible.

Add the forwarding support in the Vite DevTools configuration path, or defer this behavior until the required upstream version provides it.
