Same happens in my large application which I want to migrate to Nuxt 3 but also in a minimal setup.

I think with bridge: false you should run nuxt dev and not nuxi dev.

Hi Daniel, thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to make any difference.

It looks like nitro is running on nuxt dev as well.
