Research direction
Investigate the current watch mode implementation in the plugin. Refer to issue #31 for prior discussion on watching imported files. The main plugin file is likely located at src/index.js. Look into how Rollup's watch mode hooks work and consider adding a configuration option to enable watching for imported files. Review any existing pull requests or comments for implementation ideas.
