Description
Description of the Issue/Problem to address
I would like to have an option where eg if when I start Multiparser, a file it is tracking already exists, it doesnt do anything with the already existing data, and just keeps an eye on changes from that point.
Proposed solution
When multiparser first loads, just skip any parsing / callbacks which would typically be triggered, and record the current state of the file as the last parse

Research direction
Start by tracing Multiparser's startup path and the code that records tracked-file state and invokes parsing or callbacks. Define the option's expected startup behavior, then verify that an existing file is treated as the current baseline while later changes still trigger normal processing.
