High-level changes

• Rewrote the watcher around a single observation pipeline. Backend callbacks are treated as invalidations and confirmed with lstat, stat, or readdir before any event is emitted, so the final state after a burst of changes matches the filesystem.
• Added native recursive watching through fs.watch({ recursive: true }). The default auto backend uses it on macOS and Windows and per-directory watching elsewhere.
• Shared native handles across watchers and opened them per directory only: files no longer own handles. This fixes EBADF errors when watching many files on macOS (#​1385, #​1452).
• Replaced fs.watchFile with Chokidar-owned stat polling. Poll loops are shared across watchers at the fastest requested interval.
• Required Node.js 22.22 or later.

API changes

• Added the backend option: 'auto' (default), 'native', 'native-recursive', or 'polling'.
  • usePolling: true remains as a deprecated alias for backend: 'polling'.
• Renamed interval and binaryInterval to pollingInterval and pollingBinaryInterval.
  • The old names remain as deprecated aliases; the new names win when both are given.
• Changed the atomic default to false with polling. An explicit value is preserved.
• Made close() terminal: add() now throws once closing has started. Construct a new watcher instead.
• Validated options in the constructor: invalid backend, atomic, depth, awaitWriteFinish, and polling intervals throw TypeError.
• Emitted errors from add() as error events instead of unhandled rejections (#​1378).
• Made getWatched() return a null-prototype object, so a watched directory named __proto__ is listed (#​1493). Use Object.hasOwn() instead of hasOwnProperty() on the result.
• Stopped applying ignored to directories above a path passed to watch() or add(), so a missing path is still watched through its parent (#​1374). Other entries in those directories are still filtered.

Fixes

• Fixed a 100% CPU loop when the process working directory containing a relatively watched file was deleted (#​1474).
• Fixed watching a filesystem root, which emitted unlink and unlinkDir for every entry (#​1184, #​452).
• Fixed UNKNOWN errors from fs.watch on macOS sockets, which prevented watching /var/run (#​1391).
• Fixed a symlink whose target passes through a regular file (ENOTDIR) disabling watching of its directory and preventing ready (#​1476).
• Fixed files created in a newly added directory between its scan and watch registration being missed (#​1471).
• Fixed watching a missing nested path stopping its parent directory's subtree from being watched (#​1470).
• Fixed false change events on Windows when many sibling files are written (#​1466).
• Fixed duplicate add events for unchanged files under directory activity (#​1465).
• Fixed replacing a watched directory with a file of the same name hanging the process (#​1464).
• Fixed persistent watching stopping after a watched directory was removed (#​1463).
• Fixed a deleted watched path not being reported when recreated: previously only a deleted file that was the sole watched path was watched for its return. Any path passed to watch() or add() is now awaited from its nearest existing parent.
• Fixed event throttling discarding updates; the newest differing change is now replayed when the window closes (#​1455).
• Fixed relative ignored paths; relative strings now resolve against cwd or the process working directory (#​1436).
• Fixed files not being detected when their directory did not exist before watching (#​1422).
• Fixed removed files being reported as unlinkDir instead of unlink (#​1421).
• Fixed ignored files and directories still being watched in WSL (#​1418).
• Fixed change being reported for every file when one file changed under Deno (#​1417).
• Fixed changes not being detected after the second save (#​1399).
• Fixed renaming a watched directory that contains subdirectories on Windows (#​1380, #​1398).
• Fixed re-watching a path not honoring ignoreInitial (#​1386).
• Fixed EISDIR errors during the initial scan of network drives (#​1376).
• Fixed watching an array of absolute file paths (#​1366).
• Fixed unwatching a deleted watched directory on Windows, contributed by @​sapphi-red in pull request #​1467.
• Documented that unwatched paths stay ignored until they are added again (#​1439).

Misc

• Made the Stats import type-only, contributed by @​zhennann in pull request #​1447.
• Pinned dev dependencies and restricted workflow permissions, contributed by @​43081j in pull requests #​1457, #​1460, and #​1461.
