Key points

• The watcher's ready signal reconciles once. The initial load races the watcher's own setup, so a change written in between never fires an event; the reconcile at ready closes that startup gap.
• Self-write suppression by content. The provider caches the last good text; a watcher event whose content equals the cache (its own write included) is a no-op.
• No value indirection — sections hold literal values; ${env:VAR}-style references for secrets are a deferred seam-level feature.

Pitfalls

Review the upstream repo before installing. This guide is auto-derived from indexed fields and may lag the latest release. If anything contradicts the official docs, treat the upstream source as authoritative.
