I'm working on a tool that modifies .dart files in a Flutter project. It is a helper tool - VS Code would still be the primary IDE.

Right now, changes to files made by the tool are reflected in VSC, but the change does not trigger a hot-reload. This means that after making edits in the other tool, I have to hit save on a file in VSC in order to trigger the hot-reload.

Ideally, I could open a Flutter project in VS Code, start a debug session, swap over to another tool and make updates to files there, and hot-reload would trigger without having to swap back to VSC.
