If this has been fixed somewhere or there is a better alternative I'd love to use that over polling. Current plan is to move to polling data version for speed + occasional stat for safety. Getting rid of polling was my original goal but i compromised with syscalls.
Apologies for not being specific.
The specific thing I'm talking about is this: write events don't fire until the file handle is closed. [1] I didn't validate this myself btw, but my original design was certainly trying to use notify events rather than stat polling. My research (heavily AI assisted of course) led me away from that path as platforms differ in behavior and I wanted to avoid that.
