We propose a transient vector quantum magnetometry protocol based on cavity-magnon systems. By exploiting finite-time dynamics initialized from a reservoir-engineered squeezed steady state, our scheme retains residual squeezing-induced quadrature noise reduction, which suppresses transient added noise and enhances the short-time signal-to-noise ratio beyond conventional unsqueezed steady-state limits. IQ demodulation of orthogonal cavity-output quadratures enables crosstalk-free reconstruction of all three components of a transient magnetic field, providing access to both its magnitude and orientation. This vector capability is relevant for short-lived magnetic phenomena such as pulsed spin excitations, magnetic textures, nanoscale current transients, and biomagnetic signals. In the long-time limit, we derive a closed-form stationary noise spectrum and identify the on-resonance noise-cancellation condition $g_{am}=\sqrt{{\kappa }_a{\kappa }_m}/2$ at which the cavity-added noise vanishes without strong coherent coupling. Injected squeezing further suppresses the cavity-added noise away from resonance, while an array of $N$ yttrium iron garnet spheres reduces the magnon-probe noise contribution by a factor of $1/N$. Our results establish cavity-magnon systems as a scalable platform for transient, vector-resolved quantum magnetometry.
