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.

🌐 Web query:
github pnpm/setup v2 runtime input devEngines runtime precedence node@latest
💡 Result:
The pnpm/setup v2 GitHub Action determines the Node.js runtime version based on a specific order of precedence, prioritizing explicit user input over project configuration [1][2][3]. The runtime resolution precedence is as follows [2]: 1. Explicit runtime input (e.g., runtime: node@22): When a full runtime specification (name and version) is provided via the runtime input, this version is used [2]. 2. Runtime name input with version fallback (e.g., runtime: node): If only the runtime name is provided in the input, the action resolves the version by looking for a matching runtime declaration in the project's devEngines.runtime field in package.json [2][3]. If no version is found in devEngines, it defaults to lts (for node) or latest (for others) [1][3]. 3. Omitted runtime input: If the runtime input is omitted entirely, the action automatically reads the runtime name and version from the devEngines.runtime field in package.json [2][3]. 4. No runtime specified: If neither the input is provided nor the devEngines.runtime field exists, no runtime is installed [2][3]. Additionally, when a runtime input is explicitly set, the action automatically appends --no-runtime to the subsequent pnpm install command (requires pnpm >= 11.1.0) [4][5]. This prevents pnpm from potentially shadowing the action's installed runtime with a different version that might be declared in the project's devEngines.runtime [4][5].

Keep the release job on Node 24.
pnpm/setup gives runtime: node@latest precedence over package.json devEngines.runtime, which requires Node ^24.0.0. A future Node major can therefore run the preview and nightly builds with an unsupported runtime.
Remove the override so pnpm/setup uses devEngines.runtime, or set it to node@24.

Set an explicit Node runtime for build-base.
If github.base_ref predates devEngines, pnpm/setup installs no runtime because the workflow omits runtime. The base build can then use the hosted runner’s Node version, which can change independently and invalidate the size comparison.
Set runtime: node@24 to match the head build contract.
