this makes jiti an optional peer dependency of nuxi, so we use it if the project has it installed; otherwise we give a tip to install.

(it's only used in nuxi info command)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The nuxi package declares jiti as an optional peer dependency. Nuxt configuration loading now retries loader-required imports through jiti, resolves it from the project when necessary, preserves the original failure cause, and warns through consola when loading ultimately fails.

In `@packages/nuxt-cli/src/utils/nuxt-config.ts`:
- Around line 44-48: Update the catch block around importConfigWithJiti to
normalize arbitrary thrown values before logging: use the Error message for
Error instances and String(error) otherwise, ensuring consola.warn never
displays undefined for non-Error failures.
- Around line 85-94: Update the dynamic import fallback around createJiti so it
only resolves jiti from rootDir when the original import failure indicates the
jiti package is missing. Re-throw all other load or dependency failures
unchanged, and preserve the existing missing-package hint and fallback import
path for the absent-module case.
