Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Change: Feature Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to On supported Node 20, the new unbundled mode cannot start; binary-import edits can also remain stale in development, and some overlapping preview asset mounts can fail to serve their files. These issues should be addressed before relying on the new mode. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The experimental mode is explicitly selected and excludes production builds. Its main risk is execution integrity: older supported Node.js versions may not load the prepared virtual entry, potentially failing startup or importing an existing build instead. Worker isolation and some failure-recovery behavior remain unverified. Retained concerns

- Line 15: Update the unbundled watcher logic using sourceRe so changes to
resolved paths imported through raw:, text:, or bytes: trigger reloads even when
devServer.watch is empty. Track those raw-import paths and include them in
change detection without relying on env-runner’s ignored addWatchFile calls.
Review comments at @src/build/unbundled/entry.ts:
- Line 53: Update the unbundled entry flow in the visible `virtual[entry]`
registration path to work on supported Node.js 20.19.0 by adding a compatible
loading path; if that cannot be supported, reject `builder: false` with a clear
error specific to the Node.js version.
Review comments at @src/build/unbundled/preview.ts:
- Line 29: Remove the error-swallowing catch around loadConfig in startPreview,
or rethrow its error when a config file exists, so config load failures remain
visible instead of being replaced by the missing-build-info error.
- Around line 25-32: Update the builder check in the unbundled preview flow to
use `userConfig.builder` first and `process.env.NITRO_BUILDER` as a fallback,
treating either boolean false or the string "false" as a request to start the
source preview.

env-runner v0.3.3 PluginContext addWatchFile watch behavior source
💡 Result:
For **env-runner v0.3.3**, `PluginContext.addWatchFile(id)` is **accepted but ignored**. It does not register a file for watching, and `this.getWatchFiles()` always returns an empty list. The package docs also state `this.meta.watchMode` is `false`. ([npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-runner?utm_source=openai))
So, unlike in a bundler watch mode, calling `addWatchFile()` in an env-runner plugin won’t trigger a rebuild or reload when that file changes. The available source is the npm package page for v0.3.3; it doesn’t expose the implementation details behind the behavior. ([npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-runner?utm_source=openai))

Reload changes to raw-imported files.
With the default devServer.watch: [], editing a .csv file loaded through raw:, text:, or bytes: does not match sourceRe. The unbundled watcher then skips the reload, so the worker can keep serving the old contents. env-runner 0.3.3 ignores this.addWatchFile(path). Track resolved raw-import paths and reload when they change.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Reject or support unbundled execution on Node.js 20.
Nitro permits Node.js 20.19.0, but this entry exists only in data.virtual. env-runner v0.3.3 registers virtual modules on Node.js 22.15 or later. On Node.js 20, registration is skipped, so the unbundled server cannot load this entry. Add a compatible loading path or reject builder: false with a version-specific error.

Honor NITRO_BUILDER=false when selecting the unbundled preview.
When builder is unset and process.env.NITRO_BUILDER is "false", this check returns before starting the source preview. startPreview then throws because no build info exists. Use the config value first and the environment value as fallback, matching the builder resolver without running the full resolver pipeline.
Suggested fix
- if (userConfig?.builder !== false) {
+ const builder = userConfig?.builder ?? process.env.NITRO_BUILDER;
+ if (builder !== false && builder !== "false") {
return;
