azd x watch supports .azdxignore

Introduced 2026-04-18 · score 0.92

HOW TO USE IT

When watching an azd project with `azd x watch`, create a project-root `.azdxignore` with gitignore syntax to exclude generated or dependency paths from rebuild triggers. The release note says the watcher also respects existing `.gitignore` patterns.

WHY THIS HELPS

Exclude generated or dependency directories from triggering unnecessary rebuilds while watching an azd project.
