`npm run dev`: `vips` package gets stuck in a build loop

AI Summary

The issue involves the vips package getting stuck in a build loop when changing branches with `npm run dev` running. The root cause seems to be the continuous detection of changes in `packages/vips/src/worker-code.ts`. Potential solutions include keeping a committed stub file or ignoring changes for watch. The issue might be related to another reported problem involving continuously changing hashes.
