[0.10.8/Windows] Background watcher never picks up committed new files (120s+)

[huymai96]

Environment

• Version: 0.10.8 (Windows, installed 2026-08-19 per installer timestamp)
• OS: Windows 11, PowerShell 5.1, NTFS local disk
• Config: auto_index=true, auto_index_limit=50000, auto_watch=true (\watcher_enabled\ does not appear in \config list\ output on this build)

Reproduction (synthetic, public-safe)

1. Create a fresh git repo with one committed .ps1\ file defining a function.
2. \codebase-memory-mcp cli index_repository --repo_path \ -> status indexed, baseline symbol queryable.
3. Add a second .ps1\ file with a uniquely-named function, \git add -A && git commit.
4. Wait 120+ seconds (also reproduced at 100+ seconds in a prior run).
5. Query the new symbol via search_graph/name_pattern -> 0 results. Node count unchanged.

Expected

The background watcher detects the committed create and re-indexes incrementally within its poll bound.

Actual

No pickup after 120s. A manual \index_repository\ re-run indexes the new file immediately, so parsing is fine — only the watch trigger misses.

Notes

• No private paths or source in this report; repro uses disposable synthetic repos.
• Happy to test a candidate build with watcher diagnostics (poll interval, last-scan timestamp per project).
