you should not use sys here. you should use watchingHost.system instead.

I do not see why you need this line here. checking in watch is sufficient.

you also need to accept the api baselines since you have changed the public API shape. |

For the tests, all the tests for watch are in https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/master/src/harness/unittests/tscWatchMode.ts |

After trying this out locally, I found it disruptive to have the screen immediately clear before the first "compilation succeeded" message. Removing that now and will add it to test cases. |

Fixes #20379
Port of #17756 since that hasn't been updated in a few weeks. The first iteration was written by @k0pernikus.
@mhegazy I like how the screen still has the "there's been a recompile" notice up top. Otherwise, for long recompiles, it can get a little confusing when the screen is completely blank for seconds at a time.
Re writing tests - I'm a little lost here. Is there somewhere this kind of test should go?
If it's acceptable to merge this PR without tests (which would be great for using the feature in nightlies!), I'd still be very interested in writing them later.
Todo: look into 2 baseline unit test failures for .d.ts filesTodo: tests, if this doesn't get merged in first (which is fine by me!)
