+# `_TSCONFIG_ALIAS_CACHE` and `_TSCONFIG_BASEURL_CACHE` are keyed on the config
+# path with no mtime component. Every test above calls extract() exactly once
+# under its own tmp_path, so each gets a fresh cache key and the staleness never
+# shows. `graphify watch` and the MCP server are the opposite shape: one process,
+# one config path, many extract() calls — so an edit to compilerOptions was never
+# observed again for the life of the process. These two run extract() twice
+# against the SAME config path, which is the case that was unguarded.
