Subject: [PATCH] fix(cli): enable file watcher when attaching to external
 sessions

`watch.enable()` was only called from `terminal.lua` when a Neovim
terminal job started, so external tmux panes (`mux.create = "split"` or
`"window"`) never triggered `:checktime` on file changes. Enable the
watcher in the shared session attach path so all backends benefit.
