Why does `wranger pages dev` watch the output directory changes instead of source?

Hi all 👋 When I run wranger pages dev, it only rebuilds when something changes in my output directory, build. How do I get it to rebuild when something in my source directory, src changes? My directory structure looks like:

 src
├──  worker
│   └──  handler.ts
└──  _worker.ts
 build
├──  worker
│   └──  handler.js
└──  _worker.js

 src
├──  worker
│   └──  handler.ts
└──  _worker.ts
 build
├──  worker
│   └──  handler.js
└──  _worker.js

And npm run build just runs tsc --outDir build to compile all of the stuff in src to the corresponding JS file in build wrangler.toml:

name = "my-proj"
pages_build_output_dir = "build"
compatibility_date = "2024-07-24"

[env]
production = { }

name = "my-proj"
pages_build_output_dir = "build"
compatibility_date = "2024-07-24"

[env]
production = { }

I'm using "advanced mode" instead of a functions directory, and this bit of source code in wrangler seems to imply that I can't really configure this, but I might be missing something. Alternatively, can I have a single file in the functions directory that matches every path (even nested directories)?
