- General README wording and formatting improvements for clearer instructions and feature descriptions.
## 2025-11-30 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(watchers)
Replace chokidar with native platform watchers and add cross-runtime support (Node.js, Deno, Bun); introduce write stabilization and internal glob matching

## Features
🌐 **Cross-Runtime** - Works on Node.js 20+, Deno, and Bun
🔍 **Glob Pattern Support** - Watch files using familiar patterns like `**/*.ts`
📡 **RxJS Observables** - Subscribe to file system events using reactive streams
🔄 **Dynamic Watching** - Add or remove watch patterns at runtime
**Native Performance** - Uses `fs.watch()` and `Deno.watchFs()` directly
🎯 **TypeScript First** - Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
📦 **Minimal Dependencies** - No heavyweight watcher libraries required
🌐 **Cross-Runtime** Works seamlessly on Node.js 20+, Deno, and Bun
🔍 **Glob Pattern Support** Watch files using familiar patterns like `**/*.ts` and `src/**/*.{js,jsx}`
📡 **RxJS Observables** Subscribe to file system events using reactive streams
🔄 **Dynamic Watching** Add or remove watch patterns at runtime
**Native Performance** Uses `fs.watch()` on Node.js/Bun and `Deno.watchFs()` on Deno
**Write Stabilization** — Built-in debouncing prevents duplicate events during file writes
🎯 **TypeScript First** — Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
📦 **Minimal Footprint** — No chokidar, no FSEvents bindings — just ~500 lines of focused code

## How It Works
smartchok uses native file watching APIs for each runtime:
smartwatch uses native file watching APIs for each runtime:
| Runtime | API Used |
|---------|----------|
| **Node.js 20+** | `fs.watch({ recursive: true })` |
| **Deno** | `Deno.watchFs()` |
| **Bun** | Node.js compatibility layer |
| Runtime | API Used |
|-----------------|----------------------------------|
| **Node.js 20+** | `fs.watch({ recursive: true })` |
| **Deno** | `Deno.watchFs()` |
| **Bun** | Node.js compatibility layer |
Since native APIs don't support glob patterns, smartchok handles pattern matching internally using [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch):
### Under the Hood
1. **Base path extraction** - Extracts the static base path from each glob pattern
2. **Efficient watching** - Native watchers monitor the base directories
3. **Pattern filtering** - Events are filtered through picomatch matchers before being emitted
Native file watching APIs don't support glob patterns directly, so smartwatch handles pattern matching internally:
1. **Base path extraction** Extracts the static portion from each glob pattern (e.g., `./src/` from `./src/**/*.ts`)
2. **Efficient watching** — Native watchers monitor only the base directories
3. **Pattern filtering** — Events are filtered through [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch) matchers before emission
4. **Event deduplication** — Built-in throttling prevents duplicate events from rapid file operations
### Write Stabilization
smartchok includes built-in write stabilization (similar to chokidar's `awaitWriteFinish`). When a file is being written, events are held until the file size stabilizes, preventing multiple events for a single write operation.

Default settings:
- **Stability threshold**: 300ms
- **Poll interval**: 100ms
