Description
- Run
rescript watch - All files compiled, stop the process.
- Remove a compiled
.res.mjsfile - Restart
rescript watch - The removed file is not recreated!
This is the case with bsb and sounds like a bug to me.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with rescript watch: compile the project, stop the process, remove a compiled .res.mjs file, and restart the watcher. Trace the watch startup and file-rebuild behavior, comparing it with bsb if useful; done means the removed compiled file is recreated after restarting the watch process.
