//! Watching the payload directory, and what the events in it mean.
//
// Author: David M. Anderson
// Built with AI assistance (Claude, Anthropic)
//
//! **The watch is on the directory and never on the file**, which concept 6
//! calls one of the three things that make write-back detection hard. A serious
//! editor saves by writing a temporary sibling and renaming it over the target,
//! so a watcher registered on the payload loses its handle on the first save
//! and never fires again. `notify` will watch a directory on all three
//! platforms, but only if it is asked to.
//!
//! ## The sibling signal
//!
//! Concept 6.1: the payload directory holds one file, put there by this tool,
//! so anything else appearing in it was created by the target application — a
//! lock file, an autosave, a backup, a save in progress. Nothing here needs to
//! know which, or what any of them are called, which is why there is no table
//! of `~$name.docx` and `.~lock.name#` conventions to maintain and no
//! application it fails to know about.
//!
//! Siblings present means the application is working in there, which process
//! exit does not tell you. Siblings gone means it has cleaned up and has
//! probably finished. It stays a heuristic in both directions: most
//! read-oriented applications write no sibling at all, so an empty directory
//! means nothing, and an application that leaves a backup behind for good never
//! produces the cleaned-up signal. Both degrade to silence, which is the
//! intended fallback and is why the session model does not rest on this.
