Description

Bug description

I'm noticing very inconsistent resource hot reload in quarto preview.
Steps reproduce on my Ubuntu machine.

I think that watch is not working where files already present in the _site folder are recycled - this or something cache-related perhaps.

Steps to reproduce
git clone https://gitlab.com/declann/quarto-issue-parent-resource-locations.git
cd quarto-issue-parent-resource-locations/website
quarto preview
# edit website/resources/umd.js e.g. in a separate shell in website location run:
echo "// hello" >> ./resources/umd.js
# my result: here I get a hot reload
# cancel quarto with ctrl+c
quarto preview
echo "// hello" >> ./resources/umd.js # in website location
# my result: here I don't get a hot reload
Expected behavior

I expect consistent hot reloads whenever umd.js is modified.

Actual behavior

In first instance of quarto preview I get a hot reload, in follow ups I don't.
Appears perfectly repeatable on my Ubuntu machine.
