//! UCXL filesystem watcher.
//!
//! This module provides a thin wrapper around the `notify` crate to watch a
//! directory (or "project") for filesystem events. When a change is detected,
//! the watcher attempts to construct a corresponding `UCXLAddress` using a
//! simple heuristic and logs the event. This is primarily used by CHORUS for
//! reactive workflows such as automatically updating metadata when files are
//! added, modified or removed.

/// Represents a watcher rooted at a specific base path.
///
/// **What**: Holds the absolute path that the watcher monitors.
///
/// **How**: The path is stored as a `PathBuf`. The watcher is created via the
/// `new` constructor which accepts any type that can be referenced as a `Path`.
/// The underlying `notify::RecommendedWatcher` is configured with the default
/// `Config` and set to watch recursively.
///
/// **Why**: Encapsulating the watcher logic in a dedicated struct makes it easy
/// to instantiate multiple independent watchers and keeps the public API tidy.

///
/// **What**: Accepts any generic `AsRef<Path>` so callers can pass a `&str`,
/// `Path`, or `PathBuf`.
///
/// **How**: The provided path is converted to a `PathBuf` and stored.
///
/// **Why**: Convenience constructor used throughout CHORUS when a watcher is
/// needed for a project directory.

/// **What**: Sets up a channel, creates a `RecommendedWatcher`, and begins
/// watching the `base_path` recursively. For each incoming event, it
/// attempts to map the filesystem path to a UCXL address and prints a log.
///
/// **How**: Uses the `notify` crate's event API. The heuristic address
/// format is `ucxl://system:watcher@local:filesystem/#/<relative_path>`.
/// It parses this string with `UCXLAddress::from_str` and logs the result.
/// Errors from parsing are ignored (they simply aren't printed).
///
/// **Why**: Provides a simple, observable bridge between raw filesystem
/// changes and the UCXL addressing scheme, allowing other components to react
/// to changes using a uniform identifier.
