Backports #950 to the v3 branch.

@nuxt/devtools@3.x still depends on simple-git@^3, which is the only thing keeping downstream projects on the 3.x line of simple-git. simple-git 4 also drops the default export that analyze-build.ts imports (import Git from 'simple-git'), so consumers can't simply override it to 4.x without patching devtools — the module fails to link with The requested module 'simple-git' does not provide an export named 'default'.

main already removed the dependency in #950 by inlining the three git calls via tinyexec. This cherry-picks that commit, plus a follow-up that re-declares tinyexec in packages/devtools and the prod catalog (v3 dropped it as a direct dependency in #1102, whereas main still had it). The only cherry-pick conflicts were the catalog entry in pnpm-workspace.yaml (now ^3.36.0 on v3) and the lockfile, which was regenerated with pnpm install — its diff only removes simple-git and its own dependencies.

Verified on this branch

  • pnpm build (4/4 tasks), pnpm test:unit (14/14), eslint on the changed file
  • built dist has no reference to simple-git
  • the inlined git helper produces the same build names: <branch>#<sha> on a clean tree, -dirty suffix otherwise, and falls through to the existing catch outside a git repo

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Build-name generation now uses tinyexec to retrieve the current branch, short commit SHA, and working-tree status. The existing branch fallback, clean and dirty name formats, and timestamp fallback remain. The simple-git dependency and its production catalog entry are removed.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a2c45

Build naming retains its fallback when Git fails, and the dependency records are consistent. No actionable merge risk was established.

v3 dropped tinyexec as a direct dependency in nuxt#1102, so the backported
import only resolved through hoisting.
