What
The file watcher behind directory sync ignores changes under .git, an internal dependency-ignore set, the session trash path, and .DS_Store, so routine local churn does not trigger sync work.
Details
Editor scratch files ending in .tmp, .swp, or ~ are reported as a change to their parent directory rather than to themselves.
Applies to all watching, with no toggle.
Evidence
.DS_Store
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
