c9559d9991 fix(watcher): bound fd/watch cost with a native fs.watch hybrid (#644, #496, #555, #628, #579) (#650)
chokidar v4 holds one OS file descriptor per watched file on macOS (libuv's
kqueue backend registers an fd per vnode; fsevents is installed but v4 no
longer uses it). On a large project the `serve --mcp` daemon accumulated tens
of thousands of open REG descriptors and exhausted kern.maxfiles — crashing
unrelated processes system-wide with ENFILE. #276 only trimmed the count by
ignoring directories; the source tree still cost one fd per file.

Replace chokidar with a pure-JS native fs.watch hybrid, keeping codegraph's
zero-native-addon "any OS builds any bundle" invariant:

  - macOS / Windows: a single recursive fs.watch (one FSEvents stream /
    ReadDirectoryChangesW handle) -> O(1) descriptors regardless of repo size.
  - Linux: one inotify watch per directory (O(dirs), dynamic add for new
    dirs, capped via CODEGRAPH_MAX_DIR_WATCHES) instead of per-file watches.

Validated empirically: macOS 0 extra fds at 6k and 12k files; Linux 31 inotify
watches at 6k files (per-file would be 6k); Windows recursive catches nested
and new-directory edits. Full test suite green.

Tests drive the watcher through an inertForTests seam (no OS watcher) for
determinism under parallel vitest, with one real-fs end-to-end test exercising
the genuine native path.

/**
* FileWatcher Tests
*
* Tests for the file watcher that auto-syncs on changes.
*
* **Why inert mode + a synthetic event seam**: the watcher now uses Node's
* native `fs.watch` (recursive on macOS/Windows, per-directory on Linux).
* Under parallel vitest the OS watch subsystems (FSEvents / inotify) serve
* many test files at once and event-delivery latency becomes non-deterministic
* — a real fs change made in `beforeEach` can even leak into a later "should
* NOT sync" assertion. So the unit tests construct the watcher with
* `inertForTests: true` (no OS watcher installed) and drive its filter →
* pendingFiles → debounce pipeline directly via
* `__emitWatchEventForTests(root, relPath)` — deterministic, the same
* convergence point a real event reaches. The debounce timer itself is the
* real `setTimeout` (the unit under test). One end-to-end test ("auto-sync …
* real fs.watch") runs the genuine native watcher against a real file write.
