Core Changes Made:

1. Added OS Detection and File Watching Support

   • Introduced detect_file_watcher function to check for available tools (inotifywait or fswatch) based on the system.

2. Implemented Directory Stability Check

   • Added wait_for_directory_stable function to ensure directories are stable before processing, reducing false positives from incomplete file operations.

3. Refactored Monitoring Logic

   • Rewrote the main monitoring loop to handle both Linux/macOS systems using appropriate tools.
   • Added error handling and stability checks before processing files.

Direct Impact:

1. Improved Cross-Platform Compatibility

   • The script now works on both Linux (using inotifywait) and macOS (using fswatch).

2. Reduced False Triggers

   • By waiting for directory stability, the script avoids processing incomplete file operations, leading to more accurate results.

3. Enhanced Error Handling

   • Provides clear feedback when monitoring tools are missing and suggests installation commands, improving user experience.

4. More Robust File Processing

   • The script now properly handles directory events (e.g., moves) and ensures files are processed only after their state stabilizes.
