⚙️ Automation Hub — File Watcher Demo

• Directory monitoring — Poll-based filesystem watching (works on any OS)
• Glob pattern matching — Watch only `*.py`, `*.csv`, `data/*.json`, etc.
• Recursive watching — Monitor subdirectories automatically
• Debouncing — Configurable delay to batch rapid changes into single events
• Shell command triggers — Run any command on file change
• Webhook triggers — POST change events to any HTTP endpoint

# Watch a directory and run tests on Python file changes
python src/file_watcher.py --watch ./src --pattern "*.py" --command "python -m pytest"

# Watch for CSV changes and hit a webhook
python src/file_watcher.py --watch ./data --pattern "*.csv" \
    --webhook https://api.example.com/v1/reload

# Use a config file for complex setups
python src/file_watcher.py --config examples/watcher_config.json

# Watch with content-aware checksums (detects real content changes, not just timestamps)
python src/file_watcher.py --watch ./src --pattern "*.py" --checksums --command "make build"
