Description

In a common workflow, we always need to open a terminal and run rescript build -w.

How about make it a built-in feature? Or at least add an option to support it.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the VS Code extension currently invokes or configures ReScript builds, then compare that flow with the documented rescript build -w command. Define whether the feature is built in or an option, and consider how automatic rebuilding should be exposed; done means the chosen workflow builds changes without manually running the command.
