I'm Bonk, and I've done a quick review of your PR.

This PR removes Miniflare's built-in live reload mechanism (the /cdn-cgi/mf/reload WebSocket endpoint, the liveReload option, and the HTML <script> injection), and drops the now-unused liveReload pass-through in Wrangler's Miniflare code paths. The Wrangler-side --live-reload flag still works via the ProxyWorker, which is correct.

One actionable issue:

1. Stale public API docs — packages/miniflare/README.md (lines 769-773) still documents the liveReload?: boolean option that this PR removes. Since this is a major breaking change to Miniflare's public API, the README should be updated to drop this entry so users aren't pointed at a removed option. This file isn't part of the diff, so I can't attach an inline suggestion, but the block to delete is:

- `liveReload?: boolean`

  If `true`, Miniflare will inject a script into HTML responses that
  automatically reloads the page in-browser whenever the Miniflare instance's
  options are updated.

Minor (non-blocking) note: loopbackPort remains in GlobalServicesOptions and is still passed by callers, but is no longer read inside getGlobalServices now that the live reload script (its only consumer) is gone. Safe to leave, but could be cleaned up if it's not needed elsewhere.

Review posted successfully to PR #14599.

Summary of my review: The PR cleanly removes Miniflare's built-in live reload mechanism. I verified:

• The Wrangler --live-reload flag still works (via the separate ProxyWorker mechanism).
• The remaining liveReload references in Wrangler (LocalRuntimeController, MultiworkerRuntimeController, ProxyController config) are for the ProxyWorker, not the removed Miniflare option — correct to keep.
• The schema isn't .strict(), so any stray liveReload prop is stripped, not an error — no backward-compat break in validation.

I flagged one actionable issue: the miniflare README still documents the removed liveReload?: boolean public option (a major breaking change), and a minor non-blocking note about the now-unused loopbackPort field.
