What it means

Error "%w: watched directory removed" thrown in microsoft/typescript-go.

			// child is added or removed; subscribers observe changes *within*
			// the directory, not the dir's own metadata churn.
			// (A removal of the dir is still propagated because Watcher
			// relies on it to tear down the stream.)
