Description
**Describe the bug**
During the watch if allurerc.mjs is updated, allure does not try to reload it.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Coordinator: run 'allure watch' for /shared/allure-results
2. Agent1 and ... AgentN independently in time:
- locks free EnvN from env pool ,
- update allurerc.mjs (hey my tests are in EnvN)
- and start running test on it
- writing results to /shared/allure-results
**Expected behavior**
Getting new Environments and compobox and grouping dynamically.
Note: if Coordinator restarts watch after env defined, everything works fine. Because allurerc.mjs - "reread".
**Alternatives**
- envs defined dynamically in js, no need to update allurerc.mjs (could be more canonical), like jq-queries or javascript mapping.
- watch supports "multifolder", e.g. each child is separate report, and root is a pluging-like. Like shown [here](https://youtu.be/jaCDF-T4oUE?t=1972)
**Screenshots**
N/A
**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- Allure Version 3.13.1
**Smartphone (please complete the following information):**
- N/A
**Additional context**
Topology is more complex, just worth mentioning:
Coordinator: Debian with shared folder, and nfs4 shared allure-results. And allure-watch is spin in tiny node:20-slim container and allure-results passed by volume.
Agents: Gets from pool remote host (not vm) a dut, nfs4 is mounted, and running pytests tests write to share.
Concern was `docker (watch fs) <-> nfs-server <-> ssh mount`. File update signals properly propagated is ok-ish. On 3-5 agents continiously adding to it looks stable (no metrics for now).
The only concern Chrome got a flikery - like the whole page become blank - and inaccessible when test event arrive. (tests are usually couple seconds long, can be troublesome if tests are shorter). Console-log is empty, will hold and report separate ticket.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names allurerc.mjs and the allure watch entry point; start by reproducing a config change during a watch against /shared/allure-results. Done means updated environments, combobox entries, and grouping appear dynamically without restarting the coordinator.
