The server now watches your project folder and keeps its documents in sync
automatically — edits made by the iwe CLI or any other tool show up without
a restart, while your unsaved editor buffers are left untouched until you save.
iwes
Added
- The server now watches the project directory and refreshes its in-memory documents when files change on disk — created, edited, or removed — so edits made by the
iweCLI or other tools are picked up without restarting the server.
Changed
- The server now respects editor ownership of open documents: filesystem changes are applied only to documents that are not open in the editor, and a document is re-read from disk when it is closed (previously the last change won, whether it came from the editor or the disk).
Fixed
- External file changes are no longer ignored, preventing the server from overwriting on-disk edits with its own stale copy of a document. Previously only file deletions reported by the editor were noticed; creations and edits were dropped.
- A file changed on disk can no longer overwrite unsaved editor edits, and the server's own save can no longer revert a just-typed buffer — changes to open documents are ignored until the document is closed.
- Closing a document without saving now discards its unsaved edits from the server's in-memory state (previously they lingered until the next external change).
- A file renamed on disk by an external tool no longer leaves a stale document under the old name.
iwec
Fixed
- Server
instructionsstring now listsiwe_queryamong the available tools (previously omitted). - File watching now detects changes reliably when the project path resolves through a symlink (for example a macOS temp directory), where events were previously dropped and the in-memory graph went stale.
