Description
Customer would like Kapacitor to watch for & load new TICK scripts added to directories (similar to https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/issues/1313).
The current method of restarting the node is time consuming for him.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how Kapacitor currently discovers and loads TICK scripts, including the restart path described in the issue. Identify the directory-loading and script lifecycle entry points, then determine how directory changes should trigger loading without restarting the node. Done means newly added scripts in watched directories are loaded successfully and existing behavior remains intact.
