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.

In @packages/nuxt-cli/runtime/dev-close-sockets.mjs:
- Around line 11-14: In the socket plugin’s `net.server.socket` subscription,
retain the callback reference so it can be unsubscribed when Nitro closes.
Update the Nitro `close` hook to unsubscribe that callback before destroying
tracked sockets, preventing callbacks from previous no-fork reloads from
handling new connections.
- Around line 11-12: Update the socket tracking subscription in the
`net.server.socket` callback to use a Nitro-owned connection event or set that
identifies sockets belonging to the Nitro server. Do not add process-wide
sockets to `sockets` without verifying ownership, so the Nitro close hook only
destroys Nitro-owned connections.

Node.js diagnostics_channel net.server.socket event payload server ownership socket documentation
💡 Result:
`net.server.socket` publishes a payload containing **only** `socket: <net.Socket>` when a TCP or pipe connection is accepted. It does **not** include a `server` field, so you can’t identify the owning `net.Server` directly from this channel’s documented payload. The channel is marked experimental. ([nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/api/diagnostics_channel.html?utm_source=openai))
If you need server ownership, associate sockets with a specific server through that server’s `'connection'` event, or use the documented `server` field on the `tracing:net.server.listen:*` channels to track listen lifecycle—not to link an accepted socket to its server.

Limit tracking to Nitro-owned connections.
net.server.socket is process-wide and exposes only the accepted socket, not its owning server. If application code starts another TCP or pipe server in the Nitro worker, this callback adds that server’s sockets to sockets. The Nitro close hook can then destroy those live connections.
Track connections through the Nitro server’s own connection event or another server-owned set. Do not use the process-wide channel without an ownership boundary.

resolves #1531 via hotfix
📚 Description
I was able to reproduce the socket fix (initially I assumed it was purely a windows issue!)
we still need nitrojs/nitro#4671 as a proper fix, after which we can drop this
