🎯 What: The code health issue addressed is the usage of panic for error handling in the watcher package.
💡 Why: This improves maintainability and robustness by preventing the application from crashing due to transient I/O or filesystem errors.
Verification: Verified by running make test, make format, and go vet. Also manually inspected the code.
Result: The application now logs errors instead of panicking, and gracefully handles failures in walkSingleDirectory and isFileChanged.

Note: I've checked for merge conflicts as requested in PR comments and found none in the current codebase.
