Issue Description

When using wrangler with turborepo, the hotkey bar is rendered even though it's not usable. The hotkeys display but don't function when running wrangler dev under turborepo, creating a confusing user experience.

1. PR #10191 - "fix: prevent hotkey bar rendering when running under turborepo"

   • Created by Devin AI bot based on @penalosa's request
   • Implementation was approved by @petebacondarwin
   • Closed without merging on 2025-09-10 due to CI failures
   • The approach: detect turborepo via environment variables (TURBO_HASH, TURBO_TASK, TURBO_INVOCATION_DIR) and prevent hotkey registration

2. PR #10194 - v3 backport of #10191

   • Also closed without merging

3. PR #11875 - "fix(vite-plugin-cloudflare): prevent interactive shortcuts in Turbo environment"

   • Merged on 2026-01-21
   • This only fixes the Vite plugin, not wrangler dev

Existing Workaround

PR #5099 (merged March 2024) added --show-interactive-dev-session=false flag:

• Allows users to manually disable interactive mode
• Documented for use with turborepo and nx
• Not an automatic fix - requires user to know about and use the flag

Version Analysis

• Reporter version: 3.103.2
• Current version: 4.60.0
• Major version change but issue remains unfixed

Recommendation

KEEP OPEN - Difficulty: easy

Reasoning

1. The bug is valid and confirmed - hotkey bar renders but doesn't function under turborepo
2. PR #10191 showed a working solution that was maintainer-approved
3. The PR failed CI tests around interactive dev test fixtures, not the core fix
4. A workaround exists (--show-interactive-dev-session=false) but automatic detection would improve UX
5. Similar fix was implemented for Vite plugin in PR #11875 (merged Jan 2026)
6. Labeled as "quick win" by maintainers

Suggested Action

Resume work on turborepo detection for wrangler dev. The fix approach from PR #10191 was correct - detect TURBO_HASH/TURBO_TASK/TURBO_INVOCATION_DIR environment variables and return false from isInteractive() when running under turborepo. The CI failures were related to test fixtures, not the core implementation.

Suggested Comment

This issue remains valid. PR #10191 implemented a working fix that was approved by maintainers but was closed due to CI failures in interactive dev test fixtures.

The similar fix for the Vite plugin was merged in PR #11875 (Jan 2026).

Current workaround: Users can pass --show-interactive-dev-session=false to wrangler dev when running under turborepo.

Should this be reopened for a fresh implementation attempt? The turborepo detection approach (checking TURBO_HASH, TURBO_TASK, TURBO_INVOCATION_DIR environment variables) was validated.
