The user chooses a folder, establishes a baseline and presses ARM. Reloading destroys the in-memory directory handle.
Run when the
work changes.
Choose a project, choose a local folder and explicitly arm its WATCH engine. New or modified files run the pinned recipe locally; deletions become evidence. No hidden browser daemon, background presence or invented BRIDGE filesystem capability.

Create a PROJECT first.

The directory handle stays in this tab memory. Reloading the page requires choosing the folder again.
Arm only when you mean it.
No service worker, no background daemon, no BRIDGE filesystem capability.
No change run yet.
No events yet. Establish a baseline and explicitly ARM the watcher.
Polling is scheduled only while the document is visible. WATCH does not register a service worker, background sync or persistent filesystem daemon.
More than twenty runnable changes in one cycle disarm automatic execution and require review instead of silently processing a change storm.
The accepted WEB/BRIDGE contract has no approved filesystem-watch capability. Native background watching requires a separate cross-product ADR and permission model.
