Description
Had to disable several tests on Linux because the file watcher is not reliably detecting file renames.
Found as part of #83153
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the Linux file watcher tests that were disabled and the related issue #83153, then reproduce the file-rename detection failure. Done means the watcher reliably detects renames on Linux and the affected tests can run without being disabled.
