The command line watcher sends a reload event to the browser. DocWriter refreshes the file tree and remounts the active tab from the server.The server ignores file events that repeat a recent DocWriter flush, which prevents a reload loop while you type.
When a tab is hydrated, DocWriter compares the file modification time with the latest saved Yjs update. A newer disk file with different content replaces the stale update log after a small clock skew allowance.Watch mode is a reload system, not a text merge system. Avoid editing the same passage in two editors at the same moment.
DocWriter does not pull a repository automatically. Pull before the writing session, resolve conflicts in Git, then let DocWriter reload the resulting files.
