Description
In my app i need to allow fast live sync for files ".mss"
When those files are changed (in assets), only a reload of the map style is needed.
I already handle that through global.__onLiveSync
But now it does not work anymore. It comes from that line:

I was working a few releases before. If i
Here only files with 'hot-update' will allow live sync. How can i make it work?
Actually how does it work today for images live sync. I can see that it is supposed to be handled seeing fastLivesyncFileExtensions:

Research direction
Start by reading lib/services/webpack/webpack-compiler-service.ts around line 59 and compare it with lib/services/android-project-service.ts around line 85, especially fastLivesyncFileExtensions. Trace how image changes reach liveSync and how global.__onLiveSync is involved. Done means a custom .mss asset change triggers the required liveSync behavior without affecting existing image handling.
