Description
At the moment the build system is in watch mode for dev builds, and cannot be placed in watch mode for non-dev builds. We should be able to enable or disable watch mode for any build using a `--watch` flag.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the build-system entry point and the existing dev-build watch configuration. Run the relevant build command to compare dev and non-dev behavior; done means --watch explicitly enables or disables watch mode for either build type while preserving the existing dev behavior.
