Description
I started a kaocha watch in shadow-cljs clj-repl, so that everytime the cljs code changes the test could be auto-run.
yarn shadow-cljs clj-repl
> (kaocha.watch/run (kaocha.repl/config))
However kaocha immediately runs the tests after a file change - before shadow-cljs finishes hot reloading. So it's the old code that gets tested, not the most recent version.
So I guess we need a way to let kaocha/chui-remote to "wait for a shadow-cljs reload event and only then run the tests".

Research direction
Start from the kaocha.watch/run call with kaocha.repl/config in a shadow-cljs clj-repl, then trace how chui-remote handles file-change notifications. Reproduce the reload timing described in the issue and verify that tests run only after the shadow-cljs reload event completes.
