Known Limitations

• No recursive file watching on Linux: libuv's uv_fs_event only supports recursive directory watching on macOS and Windows. On Linux (inotify), the recursive flag is silently ignored, so only files in the served root directory trigger hot-reload. Files in subdirectories (e.g. css/style.css) will not be detected. See libuv#1778.
