What steps will reproduce the bug?

I have this command that I run with npm: node --env-file=.env --watch-preserve-output --watch-path ./dist/server and it has always worked as expected. Now, after switching (using nvm) to node 22, the screen is always cleared upon restarting. If I switch back to node 20 (with nvm), the --watch-preserve-output parameter is honored.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

It happens all the times

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

This is apparently a regression on the node 20 line.

What do you see instead?

The screen is cleared upon restarting the server
