Description

@simonaco Mentioned from the customer study that there was an expectation that the new trigger shouldn't have to re-run the project when adding a trigger to a local project that is currently debugging. We should be able to hot-reload the project for them. With Mac, keep this workaround in mind: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/issues/1738#issuecomment-622553961

Research direction

Start by tracing how the VS Code extension starts the local Functions Host and responds when a trigger is added during debugging. Read the linked Azure Functions Core Tools workaround, including its Mac considerations. Done means a new trigger is available without rerunning the project, while preserving the documented Mac behavior.
