Description

Watches files for changes with a modern high-performance Python API, often used for development reloaders and automation. It helps tools restart, rebuild, or refresh when source files change.

Developers use it as a library. Watch rules should be scoped carefully so generated files, secrets, or large directories do not trigger expensive or unsafe actions.
