event-driven-wait
When waiting on a specific observable event — a file appearing, a log line matching, a git ref advancing, a directory growing, a port opening — arm a watcher that wakes on that event instead of polling on a timer. Use when the wait condition is observable as a filesystem, log, or ref change, especially for long waits where blind polling wastes tokens and can miss the moment.
