watchFile never fires when vfs uses a real dir

Version

main

Platform

macOS 26.2

Subsystem

vfs

What steps will reproduce the bug?

test.js:

const vfs = require('node:vfs');
const fs = require('fs');

const v = vfs.create(new vfs.RealFSProvider('/tmp'));

let called = false;
v.watchFile('/a.txt', { interval: 50 }, () => {
  called = true;
});

fs.writeFileSync('/tmp/a.txt', 'x');

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log('called?', called);
}, 300);

$ node --experimental-vfs test.js

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

called? true

file changed, the listener should run

What do you see instead?

called? false

Additional information

No response

Beginne mit test.js und den node:vfs-Einstiegspunkten für RealFSProvider und watchFile und reproduziere das Problem mit node --experimental-vfs test.js. Verfolge, warum der Listener nach Änderungen an /tmp/a.txt nicht aufgerufen wird; abgeschlossen ist es, wenn das Beispiel called? true meldet.
