When using pug templates with devTools enabled, I can't use the < or > operators inside attributes. They cause this error: Illegal tag name. Use '<' to print '<'. When I disable devTools, the problem goes away.

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and inspect nuxt.config.ts, first confirming the difference between devTools enabled and disabled. Trace how the devTools integration interacts with the Pug template containing < and > in attributes. Done means those operators compile and run in Pug attributes while devTools remains enabled.
