Description

When Backstitch changes a visual node file, the editor doesn't reload.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the code that handles file changes in the visual shader editor. Look for where the editor refreshes its content and check if the file watcher triggers properly. Trace the event flow from file change to editor update.
