Could always fall-back to the universal polling mechanism (eg check ignored dirs every 3-ish seconds).

Alt, my Intellij has pre- and post-scripts that run after certain commands. Those could exec only after npm **.

This is purely theoretical, though 🤷‍♀️ (unless someone on here is building the IDEs)
