Watcher reports deleted directory as "destroy FILE" instead of "destroy DIR"
I'm on win10 64 bit using to 0.13.5 release of watcher.
This is the output from the tw CLI tool when creating and removing a directory (md test and rd test). Note that it properly says create DIR but then says destroy FILE;
create dir C:\temp\test
destroy file C:\temp\test
Destroying an actual file is correctly reported.
create file C:\temp\test
modify file C:\temp\test
destroy file C:\temp\test
Watcher similarly reports 'file' ("path_type":"file") when it's really a directory being destroyed (removed).
{"path_type":"dir","path_name":"C:\temp\test","effect_type":"create","effect_time":1739844560694698300,"associated":null}
{"path_type":"file","path_name":"C:\temp\test","effect_type":"destroy","effect_time":1739844563702398500,"associated":null}
It is somewhat more difficult for me to track down and resolve Windows issues, since I don't have a Windows development environment (outside of GitHub actions runners, I guess).
So, help wanted.
