fix(dev): don't warn of network exposure for names bound to loopback - #1646
With devServer.host: 'app.localhost', nuxt dev warns that the dev server is reachable from the network without authentication, though it only listens on ::1: the check compared the configured name with localhost, 127.0.0.1 and ::1. RFC 6761 §6.3 reserves all of *.localhost for loopback, and such names are a common way to give a dev app its own cookie jar, or a name for the dev port.
This decides by the bound address instead (server.address()), with the existing isLoopbackAddress from host-check.ts. Binding all interfaces (::, 0.0.0.0) still warns.
Counted with a module.registerHooks load hook, compile cache disabled. Counts every JS module actually evaluated on that code path (native addons excluded). Built-ins loaded after bootstrap are counted separately, including the internal modules they load.

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.
System calls cannot be simulated consistently and are left out of the measure. The reported value understates the real cost. Switch to the Walltime instrument to measure them.
The network-reachability warning in listen now uses the server’s bound address, classified with isLoopbackAddress, rather than the configured hostname. The warning is gated by announcements and the bound address being non-loopback. Unit tests cover 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.1 and, on Linux, 127.0.0.2.
The warning now reflects the actual listening address, avoiding false warnings for loopback-bound names while retaining warnings for wildcard bindings. No concrete merge-blocking issue remains.

Explanation
The title names the main change: the dev server no longer warns about network exposure when a configured host name resolves to a loopback address. The change set matches this. The title uses the conventional fix(dev) prefix and is 68 characters long, which is within a normal limit.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description explains the problem. With devServer.host set to app.localhost, nuxt dev warns about network exposure even though the server binds only to ::1. The old check compared the configured name with localhost, 127.0.0.1 and ::1. The description states the new approach: it decides by the bound address using server.address() and the existing isLoopbackAddress helper. It also states that binding all interfaces still warns. This matches the file summaries for listen.ts and listen.spec.ts.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.
Resolution
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Add a platform-independent test for a loopback hostname.
The 127.0.0.2 case at packages/nuxt-cli/test/unit/listen.spec.ts:306-308 is Linux-only. On macOS and Windows, no test separates a bound-address check from a hostname check. 127.0.0.1 is in LOOPBACK_HOSTS, so a hostname-based check would pass the suite there. Add a test that passes a BoundServer with hostname: 'app.localhost' and address.address: '127.0.0.1' to createListener, and asserts that no network warning is logged.

The warning that the dev server is reachable from the network compared
the configured host name with `localhost`, `127.0.0.1` and `::1`. A name
that resolves to loopback, such as `app.localhost` (RFC 6761 reserves
`*.localhost` for loopback) or one from the hosts file, was warned about
though the server only listened on loopback.
Decide by the address the server is bound to instead, as the error
channel already does for its peers (`isLoopbackAddress`).

Test the warning for the IPv6 wildcard.
The warning tests cover 0.0.0.0 but not ::. A regression that suppresses the warning only for :: could pass these tests. Add an IPv6 wildcard warning assertion, accounting for hosts without IPv6 support.
