Watch a Folder, Act on What Lands
A drop folder as an interface. Point `path` at a directory, narrow it with `patterns`, and the graph wakes whenever a matching file appears or changes — you get the event kind and the full path. The agent here just names what arrived; replace it with the work you actually want done on the file. `debounce_seconds` exists because editors write a file more than once.
