+/**
+ * File Watcher
+ *
+ * Watches the project directory for file changes and triggers debounced sync
+ * operations to keep the code graph up-to-date.
+ *
+ * Uses Node's built-in `fs.watch` directly (no third-party watcher, no native
+ * addon) with a per-platform strategy chosen to keep the open-descriptor /
+ * kernel-watch cost BOUNDED rather than growing with the number of files:
+ *
+ *   - macOS / Windows: a SINGLE recursive `fs.watch(root, {recursive:true})`.
+ *     libuv maps this to one FSEvents stream (macOS) / one
+ *     ReadDirectoryChangesW handle (Windows), so it costs O(1) descriptors no
+ *     matter how large the tree. This is the fix for the macOS file-table
+ *     exhaustion (#644 / #496 / #555 / #628): the previous watcher held one
+ *     open fd PER WATCHED FILE on macOS (tens of thousands of REG fds), which
+ *     exhausted `kern.maxfiles` and crashed unrelated processes system-wide.
+ *
+ *   - Linux: recursive `fs.watch` is unsupported, so we watch each (non-ignored)
+ *     DIRECTORY with one inotify watch — O(directories), NOT O(files). New
+ *     directories are picked up dynamically and an overall watch cap bounds
+ *     inotify usage on pathological monorepos (#579). A single inotify watch on
+ *     a directory already reports create/modify/delete for its children, so
+ *     per-file watches are never needed.
+ *
+ * Excluded trees (node_modules/, dist/, .git/, …) are filtered via the
+ * indexer's `buildScopeIgnore` (built-in defaults + root `.gitignore` +
+ * `.git/info/exclude` + `core.excludesFile` + git ignored-untracked dirs) —
+ * on Linux they're never descended into (so they cost no watch), and on
+ * macOS/Windows the single recursive stream still covers them but their
+ * events are dropped before any sync is scheduled. Either way the watcher's
+ * scope matches `git ls-files --exclude-standard` (#276 / #407 / #1728).
