Description

Bug Running build-storybook with the -w or --watch flags do not run the storybook build in watch mode. The build runs once and ends. The cli option described here does not produce the desired results.

It seems like the feature was added here but has since been broken.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the build storybook command implementation, specifically the watch flag handling. Look for recent changes that may have broken the watch mode, and trace the code path from CLI option parsing to the build process.
