fix: Component tree not loading in popup

[TechAkayy]

🐛 The bug

Component tree loads just fine when it's in-app, and doesn't load in the popup picture-in-picture mode, probably losing connection with the app.

Popup doesn't work in stackblitz due to a limitation explained in this issue #687, so below reproduction is a github for cloning and testing it in local dev environment.

In-app:

Popup:

• Browser - Chrome Version 126.0.6478.114 (Official Build) (arm64)
• Operating System: Darwin
• Node Version: v20.14.0
• Nuxt Version: 3.12.3
• CLI Version: 3.12.0
• Nitro Version: 2.9.7
• Package Manager: npm@10.7.0
• Builder: -
• User Config: devtools, modules
• Runtime Modules: -
• Build Modules: -

🛠️ To reproduce

🌈 Expected behavior

Popup should connect to the app and load component tree.

Update, on my side, I just remove "Vue Devtools extension" from my browser (or might be update to latest one, I'm not testing yet)
And worked perfectly, found the solution from here: #724
The other note from me it was, "If the Vue Devtools Extension" still exists on our browser, this make our Nuxt 3 project start very slow and annoying not found route "/" when open my project at the browser.

This PR here explain more about details regarding this issue.

So, please folks to consider remove the vuedevtools (or update to latest once) before start to develop your Nuxt 3 web app.
Hopefully help others 🎉

here preview that pinia and component tree now working.

I have this issue, without having Vue devtool extension enabled. I use Nuxt v3.15.2.
