//! Configuration Hot Reloading System
//!
//! Production-grade hot reloading with:
//!
//! - **Event-driven file watching** via the [`notify`](https://docs.rs/notify)
//!   crate (default in v0.9.6+ via the `hot-reload` Cargo feature).
//!   `notify` is a cross-platform wrapper over the kernel's native
//!   filesystem event APIs: `inotify` on Linux, `FSEvents` on macOS,
//!   and `ReadDirectoryChangesW` on Windows. Detection latency is
//!   typically a few milliseconds — well under the 100 ms target the
//!   v1.0 stability contract commits to.
//! - **Atomic-write debouncing.** Many editors save by writing to a
//!   temporary file and atomically renaming it over the target. This
//!   produces a flurry of events (create, modify, delete, modify) in
//!   rapid succession. The reloader collapses any burst within the
//!   debounce window (default 100 ms, configurable) to one
//!   `Reloaded` notification.
//! - **`Arc<RwLock<Config>>` swap** for zero-downtime updates —
//!   readers never block while the reloader parses the new file.
//! - **`mpsc` change notifications** preserving the
//!   `ConfigChangeEvent` surface from earlier releases.
//! - **Polling fallback** (always available, used as the default when
//!   the `hot-reload` feature is disabled, or available as an opt-in
//!   on top of event-driven watching for environments where the kernel
//!   APIs are known-broken — network filesystems, some container
//!   layers).
