A new fs.watch reliability probe module was added to the bundle, but nothing calls it yet

What

A new module writes a test file, watches it with Node's fs.watch, writes to it repeatedly over a time budget, and classifies the platform's file-watching behavior as 'delivers', 'refused', 'silent', or 'unprobed' if setup fails. Nothing else in the bundle appears to call this module's entry point yet.

Why

This looks like preparation for choosing a file-watching strategy based on how reliably a given filesystem delivers change notifications, but since nothing invokes it yet, it has no effect on current behavior.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say when or whether this probe will actually be wired up to affect file-watching behavior.
