## Bug Fix: File Watcher Rebuild Loop on Linux

- Fixed an infinite rebuild loop in `seite serve` on Ubuntu and other Linux systems with strictatime or relatime mount options
- The file watcher now ignores metadata-only events (atime updates, `IN_ATTRIB`) that are triggered when the build reads files from watched directories
- After each build completes, accumulated file events are drained to prevent stale events from immediately triggering another rebuild
- Fix applies to both standalone server and workspace server
