Closes #47064 Closes #20806 The previous implementation used Zed's custom fsevent crate, which spawned a dedicated thread for each watched path. On large projects, this could result in 100+ threads just for filesystem watching. This PR removes the `fsevent` crate and switches to using `notify's` FsEventWatcher directly. The notify implementation maintains a single FSEvents stream that watches all paths on one thread. When paths are added or removed, the stream is stopped, the path list is updated, and the stream is restarted. Ref: https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/blob/main/notify/src/fsevent.rs As a result, Zed now uses one thread for filesystem watching regardless of how many paths are watched. Release Notes: - On macOS, Zed now uses significantly fewer resources when watching filesystem changes --------- Signed-off-by: Marco Mihai Condrache <52580954+marcocondrache@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Anthony Eid <anthony@zed.dev>
