Joe 9cf4cea936 fix: optimize serve/sourcemap startup from >180s to ~8s
Root cause: notify-debouncer-full with macos_kqueue caused 25K+
directory watch registrations to take >170s on large projects.

Changes:
- Replace notify-debouncer-full with notify-debouncer-mini to avoid
  FSEvents Create+Remove event cancellation and heavy per-watch overhead
- Remove macos_kqueue feature; use FSEvents (matches upstream Rojo)
- Fix VFS read guard: watch_enabled && watch_recursive -> watch_enabled
  so recording mechanism works when watch_recursive is false
- Build RefPathIndex from patch_apply data instead of redundant 4.8s
  WalkDir + 5,854 file re-reads (populate_from_dir)
- Use ServeSession::new_oneshot() for sourcemap without --watch
- Restore simple synchronous watch setup (implicit during reads)

Serve: >180s (never completed) -> ~8s to Listening
Sourcemap: 14.3s -> ~9s
All 489 tests passing.

memofs

Crates.io

Implementation of a virtual filesystem with a configurable backend and file watching.

memofs is currently an unstable minimum viable library. Its primary consumer is Rojo, a build system for Roblox.

Current Features

  • API similar to std::fs
  • Configurable backends
    • StdBackend, which uses std::fs and the notify crate
    • NoopBackend, which always throws errors
    • InMemoryFs, a simple in-memory filesystem useful for testing

Future Features

  • Hash-based hierarchical memoization keys (hence the name)
  • Configurable caching (write-through, write-around, write-back)
