/**
 * PluginDevWatcher — watches local-path plugin directories for file changes
 * and triggers worker restarts so plugin authors get a fast rebuild-and-reload
 * cycle without manually restarting the server.
 *
 * Only plugins installed from a local path (i.e. those with a non-null
 * `packagePath` in the DB) are watched. File changes in the plugin's package
 * directory trigger a debounced worker restart via the lifecycle manager.
 *
 * Uses chokidar rather than raw fs.watch so we get a production-grade watcher
 * backend across platforms and avoid exhausting file descriptors as quickly in
 * large dev workspaces.
 *
 * @see PLUGIN_SPEC.md §27.2 — Local Development Workflow
