Research direction
The issue targets watchpack and proposes replacing it with the built-in node:fs file-watching support. Start by locating how watchpack is used in this repository and review the relevant node:fs watching APIs. Done means the separate implementation is replaced without losing the repository's existing file-watching behavior, though the issue does not name specific files or tests.
