Dev-only watcher that rebuilds the self-contained dashboard asset bundle when
source styles/scripts change — so a CSS tweak hot-reloads without manually
running mix scoria.assets.build.
Compiled ONLY in :dev (see elixirc_paths/1 in mix.exs) and started via the
:dev_children application hook (see config/dev.exs), so it never ships to
Hex or runs in an adopter's app.
Flow
edit assets/css/*.css (you)
-> this watcher debounces + runs scoria.assets.build
-> writes priv/static/scoria/app.css
-> the existing live_reload pattern `priv/static/scoria/.*css` fires
-> ScoriaWeb.Assets recompiles (it inlines the CSS at compile time)
-> browser refreshes (when SCORIA_DEV_LIVE_RELOAD=1; see DevEndpoint)The watcher only regenerates the file — it is harmless to the screenshot
harness even when the browser LiveReloader socket is off. The rebuilt bundle
lands in priv/static/scoria/, which is NOT a watched dir, so there is no
rebuild loop.
On macOS Docker the container's native inotify never sees host fs events, so
when FILE_SYSTEM_BACKEND=fs_poll is set (same gate as phoenix_live_reload in
config/dev.exs) this watcher uses the polling backend too.
