Description

Personally what I do sometimes, is setting an interval request, let's say 1s. Then in this way, I can make changes on my files and see the response almost like a watcher kind of behavior. It is definitely not ideal, but sometimes is super handy.

Maybe adding a watcher or a way to trigger requests from let's say PhpStorm. Just speak out loud!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying whether the request is for watching local file changes, PhpStorm integration, or both, then locate the existing request-triggering flow. Done would require an agreed scope, trigger behavior, and tests for the selected workflow.
