Replace the polling-based radovskyb/watcher library with fsnotify/fsnotify which uses native OS file system events. This provides better performance and reliability for config and textfile change detection. Changes: - app/wtf_app.go: Use fsnotify for config file watching - modules/textfile/widget.go: Use fsnotify for textfile watching - go.mod/go.sum: Add fsnotify, remove radovskyb/watcher
