Description
We have a solution that uses rsync to "catch up" our live sync (see https://github.com/tilt-dev/tilt/issues/3760). Unfortunately this solution is not cross platform because rsync is not supported on windows. To get around this, it would be nice to be able to pass Tilt a list of paths that need to be updated and have it "force" a live update of these files.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reading issue #3760 and the existing live-sync/rsync workaround, then trace Tilt’s live-sync entry point and Windows handling. Done means a cross-platform way to pass paths and force their live update, with tests covering the behavior.
