Problem

Logs are getting duplicated in the graphql client when i have the --watch-config flag set and i make a change to the config file Ive seen this happening on both the macos and alpine versions

How to reprocuce

• Start vector with the graphql api enabled and --watch-config flag set
• Subscribe to log events using the outputEventsByComponentIdPatterns graphql subscription
• Make a change to the config file and save
• The logs get duplicated
