Description of the problem
When working on a sandbox forked from this nuxt starter, editing a page, or adding or removing pages and components does not trigger a hot reload. The only time I'm able to trigger a reload is when initially editing the title of the sandbox. Subsequent edits to the title do not trigger a reload.
This seems similar to this issue with Next, but must be different since that one was resolved.
How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
I was trying to share a demo using Nuxt, Vue, and D3. But, I have not been able to reload to show my changes. (Currently this fork is stuck without a dependency I tried to add, vuetify.)
To Reproduce
- Create a fork of https://codesandbox.io/s/github/nuxt/codesandbox-nuxt
- Rename it. (This will trigger a reload.)
- After it reloads, edit some copy in the page. No reload happens

Research direction
Reproduce the problem by forking the linked Nuxt starter, then edit pages/index.vue and inspect package.json and the sandbox's file-change and hot-reload entry points. Done means edits to pages and components, including additions and removals, reliably trigger reloads after the initial rename.
