📚 Description

Noticed this running nuxt dev in a small terminal inside my editor. The log view lost its title and its first rows, and some lines wrapped before their ellipsis:

21:20:29 [nuxt:icon] Nuxt Icon discovered local-installed 2 collectio
ns: lucide…

This was because formatEvent cut the message to the terminal width and then prepended the consola tag, so tagged lines were too wide. Each wrapped row made the frame one row taller than the screen, which scrolled the top of it out of view.

So this PR counts the tag against the width, and ScreenOverlay now truncates every visible row as a guard for the other overlays. Truncation itself is unchanged, whether long messages should wrap instead is a separate question.

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

Event formatting now accounts for visible tag width when truncating messages, omits tags for request events, and truncates request headings. Screen rendering now truncates visible rows to the terminal width. Tests cover tagged event formatting and rendered rows with long tags or request identifiers.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 061fc

On narrow terminals, some repeated tagged logs can lose their repeat count. The impact is limited to overlay display, but the width budget should be corrected.

Omit the tag when it leaves no room for the repeat marker.

tagRoom can force a four-column tag ([…] ) even when the budget cannot fit that tag, one message column, and the repeat marker. ScreenOverlay then truncates the complete row and can remove the marker.

Suggested fix
   const firstLineWidth = visibleWidth(event.message.split('\n', 1)[0] ?? '')
   const tagRoom = Math.max(Math.floor(budget / 2), budget - markerWidth - firstLineWidth - 1)
-  const tag = event.tag && !event.request ? styleText(MUTED, `[${truncate(event.tag, Math.max(1, tagRoom - 2))}] `) : ''
+  const tagText = event.tag && !event.request ? `[${truncate(event.tag, Math.max(1, tagRoom - 2))}] ` : ''
+  const tag = tagText && visibleWidth(tagText) + markerWidth < budget ? styleText(MUTED, tagText) : ''
   const tagWidth = visibleWidth(tag)
