[BUG] docker compose up --watch with sync+restart ends up disconnecting from watch

[torarnv]

Description

Similar to https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/11773 I'm seeing docker compose up --watch disconnecting when the container is restarted:

❯ docker compose up --watch

❯

services:
  caddy:
    image: torarnv/caddy
    build: .
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8080:80"

    develop:
      watch:
        - action: sync+restart
          path: ./Caddyfile
          target: /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

Likely because it temporarily sees that there are no services running.

Adding a keep-alive workaround service "fixes" the issue:

dummy-watch-workaround:
  image: alpine:latest
  init: true
  command: ["sh", "-c", "while true; do sleep 2; done"]

Compose Version

2.30.3

I tried to reproduce without success.

I'm using:

services:
  app1:
    build:
      dockerfile_inline: FROM nginx
    develop:
      watch:
        - action: sync+restart
          path: .
          target: /tmp

Can you please give it a try?
