infinite loop in nox -s docs-live

[drammock]

on current main, if I do this:

rm -r .nox/
rm -r node_modules/
rm package-lock.json
mamba env create -n pst python
conda activate pst
pip install sphinx-theme-builder[cli]
pip install -e .[dev]

I would expect nox -s docs-live to work, but it does not: it runs to completion and pops open the browser window and then immediately starts rebuilding as if a file had changed. It continues rebuilding indefinitely as soon as the prior (re-)build completes. Even if I were ok with all that needless rebuilding happening in the background, it makes the live site hard to use because it gets a reload signal frequently, and the page reload is slow (reason unknown but presumably related, since it's a local site).

(NB: this was happening before I recreated the dev env / deleted all the node modules and nox envs; I recreated the dev env from scratch just to make sure it wasn't a fluke).

Adding another observation point - I was experiencing the same issue today after I merged main back onto my working branch.

as @gabalafou noted here this appears to be caused by the language translation files changing. cc @jpmckinney any insight into how to prevent this?

Ignore changes to those files as far as rebuilds go. I’m not familiar with the nox command but if it’s using sphinx-autobuild then there is an option to ignore
