🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Wait for reload completion instead of a fixed delay.

fact.kill('SIGHUP') does not confirm that the scanner applied the new configuration. If the file is created before reload completes, the old configuration ignores it and the later full scan does not replay a creation event.

Wait for observable reload completion before returning. For this integration suite, the enabled test-only /inodes endpoint can provide that signal.

Based on learnings, introspection endpoints are dev/testing-only.

In `@tests/test_wildcard.py` around lines 17 - 20, Update the reload setup after
fact.kill('SIGHUP') in the affected test to poll the test-only /inodes endpoint
until the scanner reflects the new configuration, replacing the fixed
sleep(0.1). Return only after observable reload completion so subsequent file
creation uses the reloaded configuration.

@CodeRabbit, this is a good point, but change how the tests work is outside the scope of the PR. Will address when we have time to work on test tech-debt.

@Molter73, acknowledged. The finding remains valid, but it is outside the scope of this PR.

Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for the reload synchronization test technical debt?
