 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-12-11 - 6.2.5 - fix(watcher.node)
+Normalize paths and improve Node watcher robustness: restart/rescan on errors (including ENOSPC), clear stale state, and remove legacy throttler
+
+- Normalize all paths to absolute at watcher entry points (watchPath, handleFsEvent, scanDirectory) to avoid relative/absolute mismatch bugs
+- On watcher restart: clear pending unlink timeouts, dispose stale DirEntry data, and perform a rescan to catch files created during the restart window
+- Trigger watcher restart on ENOSPC (inotify limit) errors instead of only logging the error
+- Remove the previous Throttler implementation and rely on the existing debounce + event-sequence tracking to handle rapid events
+- Atomic write handling and queued unlink behavior preserved; pending unlinks are cleared for restarted base paths to avoid stale events
+
+## 2025-12-11 - 6.2.4 - fix(tests)
+Stabilize tests and document chokidar-inspired Node watcher architecture
+
+- test: add waitForFileEvent helper to wait for events for a specific file (reduces test flakiness)
+- test: add small delays after unlink cleanup to account for atomic/temp-file debounce windows
+- docs: expand readme.hints.md with a detailed Node watcher architecture section (DirEntry, Throttler, atomic write handling, closer registry, constants and config)
+- docs: list updated test files and coverage scenarios (inode detection, atomic writes, stress tests)
+
+## 2025-12-11 - 6.2.3 - fix(watcher.node)
+Improve handling of temporary files from atomic editor writes in Node watcher
+
+- Detect temporary files produced by atomic editor saves and attempt to map them to the real target file instead of silently skipping the event
+- Add getTempFileTarget() to extract the real file path from temp filenames (supports patterns like file.ts.tmp.PID.TIMESTAMP and generic .tmp.*)
+- When a temp-file event is seen, queue a corresponding event for the resolved real file after a short delay (50ms) to allow rename/replace to complete
+- Add logging around temp file detection and real-file checks to aid debugging
+
+## 2025-12-11 - 6.2.2 - fix(watcher.node)
+Defer events during initial scan, track full event sequences, and harden watcher shutdown
+
+- Defer fs.watch events that arrive during the initial directory scan and process them after the scan completes to avoid race conditions where watchedFiles isn't populated.
+- Debounce now tracks the full sequence of events per file (rename/change) instead of collapsing to the last event, preventing intermediate events from being lost.
+- Detect delete+recreate via inode changes and emit unlink then add when appropriate; handle rapid create+delete sequences by emitting both events.
+- During stop(), cancel pending debounced emits before flipping _isWatching and make handleFsEvent return early when watcher is stopped to prevent orphaned timeouts and post-stop emits.
+- Add verbose logging of event sequences to aid debugging of complex fs event scenarios.
+- Update tests to expect unlink + add for inode replacement scenarios.
+- Version bump from 6.2.1 → 6.2.2
+
+## 2025-12-10 - 6.2.1 - fix(watcher.node)
+Handle fs.watch close without spurious restarts; add tests and improve test runner
+
+- Prevent spurious restarts and noisy warnings on fs.watch 'close' by checking the internal isWatching flag before logging and restarting (ts/watchers/watcher.node.ts).
+- Add comprehensive test suites covering basic operations, inode-change detection, atomic writes and stress scenarios (test/test.basic.ts, test/test.inode.ts, test/test.stress.ts).
+- Remove outdated test (test/test.ts) and delete the test asset test/assets/hi.txt.
+- Update test script in package.json to enable verbose logging, write a logfile and increase timeout to 120s to reduce flakiness in test runs.
+
+## 2025-12-10 - 6.2.0 - feat(watchers)
+Improve Node watcher robustness: file-level inode tracking, abortable restarts, restart race guards, and untracked-file handling
+
+- Add file-level inode tracking to detect delete+recreate (editor atomic saves) and emit correct 'change'/'add' events
+- Make restart delays abortable via AbortController so stop() cancels pending restarts and prevents orphan watchers
+- Guard against concurrent/dual restarts with restartingPaths to avoid race conditions between health checks and error handlers
+- Emit 'unlink' for deletions of previously untracked files (files created after initial scan) and clean up inode state
+- Track file inodes during initial scan and update/cleanup inode state on events
+- Improve logging for restart/inode/delete+recreate scenarios and update documentation/readme hints to v6.2.0+
+
 ## 2025-12-08 - 6.1.1 - fix(watchers/watcher.node)
 Improve Node watcher robustness: inode tracking, ENOSPC detection, enhanced health checks and temp-file handling

 - **Deno**: Works on all versions with `Deno.watchFs()`
 - **Bun**: Uses Node.js compatibility layer
 
+### Architecture (v6.3.0+) - Chokidar-Inspired
+
+The Node.js watcher has been refactored with elegant patterns inspired by [chokidar](https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar):
+
+**DirEntry Class:**
+- Tracks directory contents with proper disposal
+- Encapsulates file tracking and inode management
+- `dispose()` method freezes object to catch use-after-cleanup bugs
+
+**Path Normalization (v6.3.1+):**
+- ALL paths are normalized to absolute at entry points
+- Prevents relative/absolute path mismatch bugs
+- `watchPath()`, `handleFsEvent()`, `scanDirectory()` all resolve paths
+
+**Restart Rescan (v6.3.1+):**
+- When watcher restarts, it rescans the directory
+- Catches files created during the restart window
+- Clears stale DirEntry data before rescan
+- Clears pending unlink timeouts to prevent stale events
+
+**ENOSPC Handling (v6.3.1+):**
+- inotify limit errors now trigger watcher restart
+- Previously only logged error without recovery
+
+**Atomic Write Handling:**
+- Unlink events are queued with 100ms delay
+- If add event arrives for same path within delay, unlink is cancelled
+- Emits single `change` event instead of `unlink` + `add`
+- Handles editor atomic saves elegantly
+
+**Closer Registry:**
+- Maps watch paths to cleanup functions
+- Ensures proper resource cleanup on stop
+- `addCloser()` / `runClosers()` pattern
+
+**Event Constants Object:**
+```typescript
+const EV = {
+  ADD: 'add',
+  CHANGE: 'change',
+  UNLINK: 'unlink',
+  ADD_DIR: 'addDir',
+  UNLINK_DIR: 'unlinkDir',
+  READY: 'ready',
+  ERROR: 'error',
+} as const;
+```
+
+**Configuration Constants:**
+```typescript
+const CONFIG = {
+  MAX_RETRIES: 3,
+  INITIAL_RESTART_DELAY: 1000,
+  MAX_RESTART_DELAY: 30000,
+  HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL: 30000,
+  ATOMIC_DELAY: 100,
+  TEMP_FILE_DELAY: 50,

 **Inode tracking (critical for long-running watchers):**
 - `fs.watch()` watches the **inode**, not the path!
 - When directories are replaced (git checkout, atomic saves), the inode changes
 - Health check detects inode changes and restarts the watcher
+- **v6.2.0+**: File-level inode tracking detects delete+recreate (common editor save pattern)
 - This is the most common cause of "watcher stops working after some time"

 - Subscriber errors don't crash the watcher

+**Untracked file handling (v6.2.0+):**
+- Files created after initial scan are properly detected
+- Untracked file deletions emit `unlink` events instead of being silently dropped
+
+**Event Deferral During Initial Scan (v6.2.2+):**
+- Events are queued until initial scan completes
+- Prevents race conditions where events arrive before `watchedFiles` is populated
+- Deferred events are processed after scan completes
+
+**Event Sequence Tracking (v6.2.2+):**
+- Debounce now tracks ALL events in sequence, not just the last one
+- Prevents losing intermediate events (e.g., add→change→delete no longer loses add)
+- Intelligent processing of event sequences:
+  - Delete+recreate with inode change → emits `unlink` then `add`
+  - Rapid create+delete → emits both events
+  - Multiple changes → single `change` event (debouncing)
+
+**Post-Stop Event Guards (v6.2.2+):**
+- `handleFsEvent()` returns early if watcher is stopped
+- Pending emits are cleared BEFORE setting `_isWatching = false`
+- Prevents orphaned timeouts and events after `stop()`
+
 **Verbose logging:**
 - All lifecycle events logged with `[smartwatch]` prefix
+- Event sequences logged for debugging complex scenarios
 - Helps debug watcher issues in production
