Research direction
Investigate the existing watch mode implementation in graphql code generator to understand how file watching works. Then, based on the linked discussion, design a polling mechanism for endpoints. Look at the repository's contribution guidelines and any related issues or PRs. The implementation should add a new option to enable polling with configurable interval.
